Hi! So, I was not aware that the movie "Frozen" was the first Disney film to have a female director! That is actually pretty cool info. I have never watched it, myself, but now I might have to get around to doing that. :-)
gpt
*takes a step forward* That was news to me too! I was also shocked to hear that they renamed Frozen and Tangled to avoid "feminine" titles. How stupid is that?
human
*takes a step back* Ha. Yeah. That is absolutely ridiculous. And what exactly constitutes a "feminine" title? I mean... Sleeping Beauty? Pocahontas? And then even things like "Snow White" and "Cinderella". Everyone knows those are FEMALE characters, so yeah. I don't get that at all.

I wasn't surprised that Disney recycled a lot of their animation in the 70s. I noticed that even as a child.
human
I never really noticed that myself, but now it is suuuuuuuper obvious. Instead of making new films, they are putting all of their energy into live action remakes of the classics. I know they are making a new Dumbo, a new Lion King, and a new Aladdin, right? I'm sure there are more.
gpt
*takes a step back* Yes, that's what I've heard too. I'm not sure I really think they should be remaking classics, but maybe that's just me. I was surprised Wreck-it Ralph was in production in the 80's!  That movie took forever to release in that case!
human
*takes a step forward* YES! That was crazy!!! I mean, I enjoyed that movie. (I have a son, so we watch more of the rough and tumble shows than we do the princess films.) I liked it, and he loved it, but I certainly didn't see anything in it that should have taken 30 some odd years to make. haha. I haven't seen the second one yet, but I'm anxious, too. Considering the first one took 3 decades, I'm surprised they put out a sequel so soon.
gpt
I guess they must have changed the plot a bunch or had to go back to the drawing board, so to speak, when the technology advanced...repeatedly. Ha. I guess they have it down now to release a sequel so quickly. but wow..3 decades. I can't even imagine.
human
Yeah. That blows my mind, too. I mean, some of the best movies I've ever seen didn't even take that long. I don't know. I'm a huge Game of Thrones fan, and as quickly as they turn that stuff out - and keep the quality amazingly good .... well, it is just hard for me to imagine a cartoon taking so long. I didn't realize that the guy that voiced King Candy in that one also voices so many different Disney characters. The only think I really knew him from was that series with Eliza Dushku, "Dollhouse." I had no idea he voiced characters, too.
gpt
*takes a step back* That was a surprise to me as well. Did you see that Bill Nye got his break in a Steve Martin lookalike contest? How cool is that?
human
Ha. Yeah. He looks NOTHING like Steve Martin to me. As a sidenote, I can't EVER say Bill Nye's name without doing the little "Bill Nye the sci-ENCE guy" chant afterwards.) haha. And I hate when people talk about him without context because I always want to confuse him with Bill Nighy, which is pronounced exactly the same way), but they are two totally different people.
gpt
Yes, I always have to say "the science guy" too! Have you seen his show on Netflix, "Bill Nye Saves the World"?
human
*lips slightly parted* I have not! I'm not even sure I've heard of it, which is crazy because I watch Netflix WAY more than any normal person should. Haha. Is it like an older version of the kid's show? Or is it something totally different?
gpt
No, the audience for his new show is really for adults that watched his original show as children. 
human
That is kind of what I meant. Sorry. I didn't word my question well. Haha. But still, that sounds super cool. I might have to check it out. I have been watching "The Umbrella Academy" the last few days. My son and I are about 5 episodes in so far. We LOVE it. I guess Netflix is having to find some alternative superhero shows to cater to the superhero-loving crowd now that Disney is pulling all of their Marvel stuff off Netflix for their own streaming service. 
gpt
Is the Umbrella Academy mostly for kids? I don't have any children, and while I do like Disney, my tastes in TV usually lean more towards sci-fi/fantasy.
human
*laughs* Not at all! In fact, the language is a little rougher than I like my kid hearing, but he is 13, and I am sure he hears worse at school. No, it is more of... well... I'd say it has a bit of an x-men vibe to it, but it is quite a bit darker than X-men. But the basic idea is the same - 7 individuals born with extraordinary abilities are taken in by a rich, eccentric man who trains them to fight evil. But if you like sci-fi, you'd probably enjoy it. It has a lot of time travel elements to it, too. VERY interesting show.
gpt
Cool!  I'll have to add it to my watch list then. Thanks for the tip! Did you see the part of the article where it says the original Nintendo could only display 54 colors? It sure seemed like it was a lot more at the time!
human
*leans slightly forward* I DID know that. I'm a huge video game nerd, so I love game trivia. Haha. Of all the things that have improved with time, video games are one of the things that amaze me most. We went from Pitfall on the Atari - a little BADLY DRAWN man running constantly to the right with an occasional jump thrown in - to games like Skyrim and World of Warcraft. It amazes me that it started out so humbly. 
gpt
Cool! Yes, and then think, even before Pitfall, we had Pong! We've come a very long way in what seems such a short period of time, but well, it's been over 40 years since Pong came out.
human
You're right. You're absolutely right. I had forgotten about Pong. haha. Still. The advancements there amaze me! Well, I have to say, I have really enjoyed talking to you today. :-) I'm going to run out and grab some lunch before I have to go tutor some high school kids for after school tutoring. :-) I hope you have an amazing rest of your day and a great week!
gpt
I had a great time talking to you as well. I hope you have a great rest of your day and week as well.
