Hey there what do you think about Disney movies? I really love the Lion King myself
gpt
Hi, I love Disney too! I've watched just about every movie that they've made. Did you know they're making the Lion King into a live action film this year?
human
yes I did! are you going to see it btw? i didn't really like the remake of beauty and the best, so I will probably stear clear myself
gpt
Yes, I'm very interested in watching it. I've heard good things about it, but anyways did you know that the Lion King was the first disney film to be dubbed into zulu for its african release?
human
no I didn't thats interesting though! have you seen the movie Frozen by the way? Apparently that was the first Disney movie to be directed by a woman, I know that it made a lot of money so it must have been successful
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Yes, I've seen Frozen before. It's so funny because it was called "snow queen" first, but Disney renamed it to "Frozen" because they blamed feminine titles for underperforming box offices.
human
*raises eyebrows* haha that is interesting I didn't know that, and yes Jennifer lee directed it, and it made more than 1 billion dollars, thats insane and great for her I'm sure
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Yes, it's also cool because Elsa was supposed to be the main villain in frozen, but they wrote the song "Let It Go" for her, and since the song was so uplifting they decided to change her character instead of the song.
human
*raises eyebrows* wow that is interesting, funny with that song too, the co-author of it did some songs 4 South Park and also for the Book of Mormon, those are both pretty raunchy, pretty funny that he also did songs for Frozen LOL
gpt
Yes, it's quite funny, and the co-author Robert Lopez is quite talented as well because he is one of 12 people that have ever won EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, & Tony), so he must be multi-talented.
human
*opens mouth slightly* Yep it sounds like he is very talented. Back to Disney movies though, apparently the toy manufacturers talk to Disney before Disney even starts making the movies. I don't know how I feel about that, kind of scummy
gpt
Well, I don't know about that. It sounds like good business sense to me, because they basically figure out how to market the main characters of the film before the film actually gets released. It's kind of funny though, because during the 70s disney recycled a lot of their animation frames, resulting in identical scenes in some movies.
human
Yeah I did know about that. I think one of the movies where they did that was the animated Robin Hood movie. That's a cost-saving measure for sure. Have you seen the movie Wreck-It Ralph?
gpt
Yes, I have! I rented the DVD. I find it funny that it took such a long time in production because the development actually started in the late 1980's, but it wasn't released until 2012.
human
*leans forward* Yep I agree with you! I did like all of the 80s Video Game references in that movie. What else do you do for entertainment? I remember I used to play the regular Nintendo back in the day
gpt
I'm not much for video games (even though I do play with friends on ocassion), but I did find it interesting that the ninetendo entertainment system could display only 54 colors.
human
Yep that never seem to bother me, I never noticed it as a kid haha. I'm just glad that the system was as good as it was. And I'm shocked that it lasted until the year 2003 in Japan
gpt
Yeah, me too, but anyways did you know that Ronald Reagan was once rejected for a movie role because an entertainment executive didn't think he had "that presidential look"? Ironic, huh?
human
Didn't know that! That's pretty crazy. I also would have never guessed that Bill Nye the Science Guy did Steve Martin look alike contests, although I can kind of see that one at least
gpt
Yeah, that's pretty cool. I also find it interesting that Alan tudyk has had a role in every disney animated film since "wreck-it ralph". He appeared in both "Frozen" and "Zootopia".
