Disney+

[flickchick85]

Yeah but I only pay for the ads version of Hulu. So anything on Hulu I can get on Disney+ instead is preferred. Plus I really want an animated show.

They won't even air the Lizzie McQuire revival. Disney is going to clutch pearls over some of the Buffy storylines, especially the Buffy/Spike stuff.

What's going on with Lizzie McGuire revival?

Moving to Hulu probably. That's what Hillary Duff wants anyway.

Got too sexual for Disney I think.

Ooo. That actually has me more intrigued. I guess sex is too taboo for Disney+.

After the Splash debacle and blurring out cleavage, no way in hell would Disney+ even consider putting Buffy on there unless they decide to get a little more lenient with their content down the line.

While I have serious doubts Disney would actually end up doing the Buffy animated series as they intended to well over a decade ago, it’s worth pointing out that the project was intended for Fox Kids and was essentially set during the show’s first season, before it got into the more mature material.

No Buffy and Spike ****ing the house down here.

I didn’t realise Disney was going to be quite so strict on content. I kind of assumed they’d have an adults version as well as child-locked version.

Yeah same, it's honestly already got me questioning my renewal next year.

 

[Primal Slayer]

So what's it gonna take to get a Buffy something on Disney+? An animated show would work. How about something like this?:



It's not like there's even scripts written and everything....

Still amazes me that everyone passed on the animated series and the property has been collecting dust on the small screen since then.

The content they seem to be most lenient towards is Marvel. Tony's scene with the reporter in Iron Man and the sex jokes in the GOTG movies remain unchanged. Even though they don't push the boundaries of PG-13, I'm curious as to why some of the Karens out there haven't complained about that kind of stuff being on Disney+.

I would agree 100% at most times, but I'll have to go higher now that:

A) Disney own the brand
B) Have launched their own streaming service with exclusive content
C) We're in the middle of a global pandemic that has shut the industry down
D) There's a full season of scripts already done
and
E) Animators and voice-artists can work from home.

I bet SMG would reprise the role now too. Buffy Summers is a Disney princess and I demand satisfaction!

Yeah, it doesn’t sound to be too consistent.

Not everyone at home has access to the materials to do proper quality voice over though.

I dont see why the studio wouldnt send over that equipment though. But even with voice over work, it is a lot easier to come into a studio solo and be behind a glass where there are 2 or 3 people who give direction and be at a safe distance.

 

[Snow Queen]

New rumour making rounds. Not sure how reliable they are, but a few people are reporting a Kingdom Hearts CG show is in development for Disney+.

Spoiler

 

[Zorro]

Hmm, I wonder if it'll be in continuation with the games or a reimagining of the franchise

Oh yeah, but the original series was brought up.

l know people hate when I say this but Buffy belongs in the Marvel Universe. You could even bring Joss in to reboot the character in comics form. She's too popular not use to bolster the female roster. I would argue Buffy was more mainstream than Black Widow and Captain Marvel before the MCU, and these books/movies/shows need more females. The character has a built-in audience and yet you're still adding a new toy to the Marvel toy box. It's too good to pass up.

Why is Buffy even over at Boom? Who owns the character?

Buffy in the Marvel universe could be fun. It wouldn't be my preference but she seems too significant to sit on the shelf at Disney,

The Boom situation confuses me. My research says they acquired the comic rights from Fox before Disney assumed control. Fox took the license back from Dark Horse for some reason, only to license it out again. I don't have a clue how those contracts work, so it's anyone's guess how long Boom gets with the brand.

Interesting to note that the shift from Dark Horse to Boom had nothing to do with Whedon's wishes either. It abruptly ended the long running sequel comics, and Joss wrote a Dr. Horrible comic for Dark Horse later because he wanted to continue working with them after Fox had taken his licenses away from them.

Not everyone at home has access to the materials to do proper quality voice over though.

Well sure, but that is definitely a tiny hurdle in grand scheme of my wild Buffy cartoon fantasy.

For their own good, they'd be better off starting from scratch and have it be a reboot of sorts. The game continuity got way too convoluted and confusing as the series went on.

 

[Iceman]

I’d like to see that Kingdom Hearts project end up getting made. As long as there is some familiarity with the source material (unlike FF: The Spirits Within) I’m quite open to what they try.

Its not just equipment. You need the right acoustics to get a good sound recording. The Ducktales guys said Tennet was doing stuff in a closet.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Looks like Hulu will get the mature content from Disney.

/assumption

 

[Wheels]

The June titles are pretty week. The biggest new title is ANT Farm.

Wah wah.

 

[Zorro]

Infinity War at the end of the month and then only Ant-Man and the Wasp by the end of the summer to complete the MCU(besides Hulk and Spidey)on Disney + right? After that, it will continue with Black Widow some time after it finally releases
