Anyway, I love these, they're a lot like how I imagined the characters, (though I admit to occasionally visualizing John Carter with frank frazetta barbarian locks.)

If any Disney movie this year is gonna be a banal, bland, souless cash-in, it's gonna be "Brave".
So yeah, it's easy to badmouth the live action movies, but I don't exactly see the animated movies doing any better. There's no depth, originality or darkness to be found in THOSE movies either (in fact, "Tangled" defenders use its lack of originality or darkness as a reason why they liked that movie, which is the reason I think they are morons).
Bottom line: show me any darkness or originality or depth in "Tangled". Until then, I stand by my opinion that the live action movies are better.
Also, remember, Disney's animated features are targeted at children, though they are made in such a way that they have a large periphery demographic in older audiences. If they didn't have fun jaunts like pink-clad girls kicking butt with frying pans, then they would be failing their audience. Anyway, how in the world is Tangled a cash-in on Shrek? They had nothing in common besides having to do with fairy tales--something Disney has done and always will do, especially since Tangled is another in the Disney Princess line.
Furthermore, about that pink talking bear. I assume you're referring to TS3? The one in which the bear used its cuteness as a way to lure other characters into a false sense of security while it worked behind the scenes to either indoctrinate them into its despotic control, or to murder them, and to do so without a hint of remorse because he is driven by a years old complex? You somehow percieved that as 'light'? And in Tangled, you mention the lack of darkness as well. So I assume you think a woman kidnapping a child to use her eternally for her own selfish needs and keeping her as weak, unconfident, and scared as possible so that she's never brave enough to leave, that's light? Or the fact that said woman is willing to destroy anything and everything that could potentially make that child happy enough to stray? As far as depth goes, there's a scene where the kidnapper panics upon seeing Rapunzel has left the castle. Any one with a child would know that the idea of someone you care about no longer being where they're supposed to be is terrifying.
So since I've answered your querry, how about I voice my own? What was dark about, say, Prince of Persia?
So...I really don't want to talk to you. I keep going back to that great line Naomi Watts said in "King Kong" about "a tweedy twerp with his nose in a book and his head up his ass". That's you right now.
I'm not like that. I'm this frat boy/gamer/otaku hybrid. I'm more like Spoony or Mr. Plinkett than Roger Ebert or Leonard Maltin.
So yeah, I REALLY don't like talking with prententious intellectuals. I'd much rather talk about wether Kirk is better than Picard or which Pokemon trainer is the best partner for Ash or wether Smurfs could beat Ponies in a fight rather than sit here and talk about "depth" and "darkness" and "originality".
I just want to relax and slack off, and I can't do it when I'm talking to a tweedy twerp with a John Carter book in his nose and his head crammed firmly up his ass. I just can't.
It's funny how you assume that I'm not into any of the things you mentioned despite the fact my first sentence alluded to harem animes. Yeah, those aren't at all niche in the western world, everyone knows about them and would bring them up in casual conversation. Frankly, there's nothing wrong with being smart (but if you think there is, then that's self-explanatory) and also appreciating random things for being fun.
Pokemon: Brock kicks Ash's ass, that kid needs to leave the show.
Ponies: they beat smurfs every time, it's stupid to assume that's even a question.
Seriously. Acting like some sort of 'nerd elite,' as though there's some form of exclusivity to watching TV and playing games and reading manga is just...indescribably stupid.
Please don't talk to me ever again.
