"Rip-Off!" Topics

[catastrophe8]

Awww Am I the only one who likes Disney movies?
And The Lion King is my favorite too.

Anyway, I will admit that their new "Origanial" movie Twiches, is exacaly like sister sister,
Same idea, same people, only now they have magic powers.

[dragonman]

yeah, i know........but i like magic anyways........ *kicks them in the shin* Ripoff artsists!

ya know saying KND is a ripoff of KND is like saying that tacos are ripoffs of hamburgers? Um, where do you see a teenage cheerleader and a teenage sidekick screw up saving the world in KND? Where do you see squads and children with weapons in Kim Possible? Yeah, it's also like saying that Digimon is a ripoff of Lion King..........i see no simalarities there either........

That was my point. They both have spy gadgets, by the way.

Actually I like Disney movies too... or at least I did before their movies started being mundane.

I think Pocahontas was their last "good" movie, in my eyes.

[poppyseeds]

but what about lilo and stitch?
i liked that one too. before they over-franchised it, killed it with a sequel, and buried it and sent it to hell with the series.

(don't attack me!!)

I know that the movies NOW
don't have any originality

but if you go back to the early 20's
like when the Disney brothers were starting there company,
thay actually did have originality,
^
if what i said is wrong than
its probably the cartoons that had orginality

Where I've gotten my info is from the bio project I'm doing on
Ryo Disney

hmmmmm, i think All Grown Up is false advertising because they aren't 20 or even 14, THEY'RE 10!

If it were not for my love of Disney movies I would not be a Kim Possible fan.

Hey, I liked the series. The movie was better, though.

I think it would be great if Walt Disney's corpse was reanimated. It would be funny too.

Walt Disney: Uhhhhhhhhhhh. My company is being ruined!

Walt Disney travels to the main corporate building of the Walt Disney Company. He enters the board room.

Michael Eisner: What the? You're dead!

Walt Disney: Steal my company will you?!

Walt Disney plunges his fist into Michael Eisner's chest and pulls out his heart and then rips out his spine. He uses the spine to stab Michael Ovitz and the rest of the guys in the board room.

Yeah, the only thing that reallly bugs me about Disney is that they started to make too many sequels.
Some stories don't need to have a second story.

But I have been a Disney fan ever since I can remember I just hope that if I ever get to work for them I can change some things with fresh new ideas.

But I'm getting of topic.

How about some anime rip offs. Like Yu-gi-oh and uh Duel Masters.

[Shwoo]

That was already mentioned.

How about Strange Days At Blake Holesy High and the first few seasons of Buffy The Vampire Slayer?

In the first one, a new girl called Josey goes to the title boarding school, having been expelled from her old school, and disovers that there's a black hole under the school that makes strange things happen. She, her friends whose names escape me, and her science teacher Professor Z, form the science club and investigate this stuff. That's very similar to the premise of Buffy, I think.

I sorta think Family Guy is a "sort-of" a rip-off of The Simpsons.

They used some of the same jokes but the difference is that Family Guy is alot more racier and a bit more sci-fi ish.

A long time ago, MAD Magazine did a parody of that exact situation.

Disney: Why are they picketing a movie called Priest? It sounds like it has good, wholesome values.

Eisner: They're upset because it's about a gay priest.

Disney: Won't that offend the straight priests?

Eisner: Sure, but we wrote to both of them and they forgave us.

Disney can be compared to the New York Yankees. Now I've got nothing but love in my heart for Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Berra, Mantle, Maris, and Ford, but the current incarnation is headed up by a greedy, soulless, evil entity with bottomless funds to just pump money into a reservoir to buy awards rather than put out a team that would earn the championship. Same with Disney. There's nothing better than classic Disney, everything from Snow White to The Lion King. Now, Eisner just buys out or takes over any studio that can outdo him, and throws around cash to basically buy Oscars.
