>About Daphne specifically, the movie will show that she's not a "blonde airhead" as she's depicted in the game. That's "not the best female characteristic for a hit movie in this day and age," Bluth says. Not only that, but Daphe's "sexualized" appearance in the game will be toned down for the movie.

I recall it was closed for some retooling, then opened up again.

Perhaps, but were you one of the donators? I assume most who did probably played the original game. Let's just say gameplay was not its primary appeal.

I don't care if all they're doing is covering her midriff or dulling her pointy nips. As long as they aren't making any drastic redesigns.

Is the crowdfunding ongoing still? Can people pull their support? Can money be returend?

Because yeah, it'd be disingenuous as hell to say "I'm going to resurrect something from your childhood, give me money" and then say "Oh but it was problematic and I'm going to change it" once the check clears. That'd be a pretty clear case of bait and switch.

Yes at Indiegogo

They reached the target of 250,000 and they will make a 1 minute demo reel

>>78408245

I think the potential issue here isn't about sexuality, but the wisdom and ethics of funding a project through hardcore nerds, then using that money to make a family friendly product. But that's an assumption on my part, which is why I asked for responses from those who actually donated.

I want to get a sense of who the donators actually are, if they've played the original, and if this feel a bit like bait and switch, even if it seems like the logical decision.

/co/ has always been really out and about with the whole "/CO/ IS WUV!! WE WELCOME EVERYONE, NOT LIKE THOSE OTHER STUPID BOARDS!". It's been a slow migration to coming here from tumblr over the course of the last 3 years to the point where the place just has this awful toxic hugbox mentality now and has this idea that we are the bestest board ever and anything bad about it is always another board, never perfect /co/. It's really gross. The welcoming nature is nice to an extent, but when you're just welcoming every single asshole that comes here, it just leads to what this place is today.....A place easily triggered by any sort of violence, or anything having to do with race or religion.

Giving money to a kickstarter entitles you to nothing aside from whatever perks they offered you. If the creator does something with the work that you disagree with, you have no right to be outraged. You're not an investor, you're a donator who must accept the risk that the project might not go the way you want it.

Exactly. If you assumed because it's a Dragon's Lair kickstarter you'll be getting huge nipples low cut dress wenches, then that's kind of a fair assumption based on the last movie. However if they say you're not getting it, then it's perfectly fair of you to remove your pledge, if that's what you were pledging for in the first place.

So can we put an end to this type of disgusting shit in woman's entertainment?
>>
>>78411121
Technically not censorship since it isn't even created yet. You could argue Mika and shit like that because it was obviously in a created state then altered but has this even had concrete designs?
>>
>>78412760
Except in many of these cases they are only curtailing the product because of fear of reprisal that is basically the definition of censorship.
It's the same with comics and cartoons refusing to show the prophet Muhammad in their work because they are afraid someone may kill them, just to a less extreme degree obviously.
>>
>>78408710
if they learn we aren't buying shit we watch ads for, they will stop supporting shit with ads. then we're all fucked. right now entertainment is basically squatting in a spare apartment in a building and hacking the records so it looks like it's paying rent
>>78408768
yes but although they have bullied most people into going along with them, they are still a tiny minority. their entire justification hinges on being an oppressed minority, and they're half right
>>78412868
This. there are more kinds of censorship than government censorship (which is illegal). there's still bowing to minority pressure, which according to democracy is wrong. Not to say majority rule is always right (or even usually right), but we sure as fuck can't let minority -ever- rule.

I tried to put money towards the failed kickstarter but never got around to donating to the indiegogo. I've never played the game but donated because I've been a fan of many of Bluth's movies and more specifically because I like Daphne's design, particularly the outfit in OP, which I was hoping would be her design in the movie, but I did know she had a slightly different look in that other game. I'm pretty disappointed to hear they'll be changing her. I'm also a straight female if that makes any difference.

Basically this. I'm not going to give a shit if they just give her something classier than a sling bikini, but if they call her a princess and then end up giving her frumpy pants with boots and like an explorers jacket (which is usually where shit like this goes) then I will not be wasting my time with it.

Discussions like these are the one of the biggest parts of attracting or dissuading potential donors from donating to a project like this.

There's not enough of her in either game to depict her as an airhead.
She's MUH DAMSEL IN DISTRESS TROPE and a serious sexpot besides. Probably the first major vidya sexpot, arguably.
Toning her down is retarded and Bluth should ignore SJWs since they are not and never were his audience.

Interesting, thanks for being the only relevant response here. Male or female makes no difference.

I suppose disappointment isn't the right word for me, more perplexed. This reminds me of the edits made to Eyes Wide Shut, which were done to avoid an NC17 rating, but at the same time didn't make the movie any more appropriate for 17 year-olds. At its core, this will still be a knight rescues a damsel in distress movie, and dialing down the sexuality isn't going to change that.

I knew this was coming. In the comic book series they did in the 90's she dressed like a farmer and they had the nerve to suggest that she was smarter and better with a sword then Dirk.

This is my main problem with the modern feminism/political correctness/sjw group
They should be producing things that fit their ideals, or supporting people that do. I may not like Gone Home or any of its ilk, but I'm never going to say they shouldn't exist. If you care about an issue and think you can make a videogame dealing with it, more power to you. You don't injure me by trying, and will maybe eventually produce something I'll like. Pushing boundries has value even if only in recognizing why boundries exist.

Instead, they are as a whole putting hundreds of times more effort into preventing the creation of things they don't agree with. That's not pushing boundries, its shackling creativity to a single viewpoint. I can't say anything specifically about Dragon's Lair. I haven't played the game and I didn't back it, but if you're changing Daphne because you "can't" put a character like that in a movie anymore, I have an issue.

they're probably aiming for a certain movie rating

>>
>>78418552

That isn't really the issue. Everyone has different opinions on what level of sexuality is appropriate in cartoons, and I'm okay with that. What I find questionable here is that the indiegogo page is filled with artwork with Daphne's original design. Some of the prizes feature her in the nude. At the $5000 level, the backer gets a maquette that does in fact have her nipples sticking out.

This project is trading on nostalgia. I think most people who backed it played, respect, and expect the original. They are taking money from hardcore fans, but plan to make something for a more general audience. I don't question the logic there, but this is something they could have made clear from day one.

DOAX3 sounds like there's more to that story than just "SJW nonsense"

and this recent bit of news with dragon's lair falls into the SF5 category

>>78419252
it was still something that nobody really paid attention to then

and while i can't speak for anyone who backed the project i kinda figured they were going for a PG rating in the first place

That was in a Rated M game in a series with numerous sexual moments in it from fucking Japan of all places, and people wouldn't shut up about it.

This is how I feel, but we must also keep in mind that the $250,000 they raised isn't going to fund a movie. It's funding a pitch. They estimate it's going to cost $70 million for a full length feature.

This never struck me as kowtowing to SJW, although I expected /co/ would take it in that direction. This is about them trading on nostalgia of the hardcore to fund a movie that would still have to rely on traditional studio funding to be made. It's already very difficult to make a 2D animated film of any kind, and nearly impossible to make one that isn't a laser-targeted family film. I feel they didn't communicate this reality well enough, and the backer bonuses sends conflicting messages about what such a movie would be like.

I can understand thinking that but at the same time Don did say he was using the money to make a pilot for a big company. He needs the big dogs to approve of the film. He definitely can't do that with pointy nips.

Are you going to cancel your pledge over pointy nips?
>>
>>78426112
>frankly I was under the impression it was more a labor of love/catering towards a niche that'd expect that

Were you expecting them to make the entire fucking movie on 250k because it's a "labor of love"? You realize that'll either pay for a single man to live in poverty for the next twenty five years as he makes a film singlehandedly, or a team of fifty to live in absolute squalor, eating potatoes and ramen and living bunched together in one room hovels for a single year of development.
They need 70 million for the full film. They're not going to make a niche animated film as a labor of love because that concept literally doesn't exist. Even the fucking zero budget arthouse-ish indie flick Heavy Metal took 9.3 million to make. And that's in 1981 cash, inflated it's more like 23 million.

It is a bit shitty that they're not more clear about their goals it in the kickstarter page. But then, The Goon plastered it all over their page over and over, in bolded giant font, that it was just a storyreel and not the full movie and people still thought 400k would buy them the full movie, so I don't know.
>>
>>78426372
>I can understand thinking that but at the same time Don did say he was using the money to make a pilot for a big company.
Pretty much, it boils down to this. The huge problem here is not that they're making changes to appeal to a big company, it's the fact that this Kickstarter was a thing. It's exactly the opposite of how KS should be used, which is to fund smaller initiatives that would be otherwise risky or impossible to pitch.

I really hate this. It's going to become harder and harder for individuals to get their ideas into the light as long as large companies are free to use crowdfunding as an advertisement platform and a safety cushion to build their pitches. Fuck everyone involved in this project.
>>
>>78426476
>which is to fund smaller initiatives that would be otherwise risky or impossible to pitch.
To be fair, even though Don Bluth is well known it's not as though companies are begging for his pitches anymore. He's an underdog here.

>Are you going to cancel your pledge over pointy nips?

No, but I am because I don't want to support someone that chooses selfcensoring in order to appeal to a vocal minority.

>>
>>78426595

>>
>>78426524
What I mean is that larger companies should not be involved, period. There should be a specific clause in KS forbidding campaigns that are not about finished products. If your project can't be made through crowdfunding because you need too many millions, then you probably shouldn't look at crowdfunding at all.
>>
>>78426595
It's not a vocal minority. They're not doing it to appeal to SJW's, they're doing it to appeal to america at large. Go out and ask any random person on the street, preferably a parent, if they'd take a kid to go see an animated children's film starring a woman with pointy nips poking out through her skimpy little sling bikini.

This is what's baffling me about this thread. You people are so hellbent on your mortal enemies that you're failing to see the reality of the situation at large. The problem isn't tumblr, they're not doing this for fucking tumblr, shitty tiny little niche-ass tumblr doesn't even begin to register on their radar. They're doing this so that they don't get flooded in negative press from every single corner of mainstream society and get mobbed by the majority.

It is. They want 70 million for the whole picture, they're only creating a story reel with the kickstarter cash, which they can then go around and sell to the big studios to get picked up. Basically what you're paying for is the chance to see a Dragon's Lair movie get made, not the actual movie itself.

They're doing it because animated films cost major money. Off the top of my head, probably the cheapest animated film I can think of is Fritz the Cat, which had choppy as hell shit animation and zero plot structure and is practically the definition of indiehouse 'fuck the studios and make it for the niche'. And that still cost 5 million dollars, inflated.

In all honesty, $250,000 for a minute-long pitch is too high, and the entire idea of making it a theatrical release is both unrealistic and behind the times. If he could raise $300,000 from crowdsourcing, match that with another $700,000 from investors, outsource the bulk of the animation to Japan, he'd have himself a nice 22~44 minute direct to video special that he can peddle through Netflix, Amazon, iTunes, and the like.

The whole fucking point is to make a movie on par with the original Dragon's Lair animation, nobody wants him to remake Dragon's Lair as a 12 FPS, static anime series with painted backgrounds and barely animated main characters.

Based on the performance of his last few movies, few people want Don Bluth period. Believe me, it brings me no joy to say that.

If you guys want to talk about censorship as a matter of pragmatism, then outsourcing is also pragmatic.

I should also note, two Japan-animated sequels to An American Tail were produced, and people did in fact buy them.

That;s the thing the newfags don't get /co/ was "love" in the sense that you could have an /a/ thread or a /v/ thread or yes, even a /d/ thread here, and it'd remain fairly civil. They think that civil means safe space where they can be braying jackasses and get pats on the back for it.,

In fact, this was why Kimberly in Space Ace was better than Daphne. Sass and bitchiness for the win.

Japanese animators can animate just fine when they're given a budget to work with. Or at least they used to, but the dying 2D animation talent of recent decades is a worldwide thing.

>dying 2D animation talent of recent decades is a worldwide thing.
I like 3D animation and I think it has great potential, but I watched Big Hero 6 recently and I noticed that the animation was very jittery. I'm sure there is a term for it, when characters take noticeable breaks between their gestures instead of every action smoothly blending into one another. Not all movies do this but it's a growing trend and I find it awful.

What would that be like?

What if studio Trigger made a remake of NIMH?

In general seems so many of these crowd funding campaigns have problems. It's like almost everytime I hear about it's development after it gets funded - It leads me to be glad I didn't give them any money.

Safe is civil by definition.
Can't have safety without civility.

Yeah and? So sexuality isn't allowed anywhere else because porn is easy to access?

Not that guy, but sexuality is still very common. The cute little crushes that exist between characters in children's cartoon shows is an expression of sexuality.

>people actually okay with bait and switch tactics used on innocent people who donated money to something they wanted to help bring to life

Are the creators legally in the wrong? No. Are the donators stupid for using Kickstarter? That's a given. But justifying this stuff is pretty much saying "it's okay to censor what I have already paid for if the law doesn't object". Sure, it's legal, but ethically should we be okay with groups that radically advocate for "politically correct content" having Western creators by the balls?

>Any thoughts from those who donated to the crowdfunding?

Hi, I donated $50 for the campaign.
I don't know if you'll be around for this reply, but since you seem genuinely interested I'll explain what I did and why.

I can live with them making Daphne someone that isn't a blonde bimbo (god forbid we have positive characters who aren't smart in our media), but I really liked her sex-appeal and seeing it gone because it may upset such an unpleasant (and unprofitable, as he will discover) demographic was really too much.
I don't think I ever masturbated to her, I just like to look at sexy good looking women in my media, it's not a necessity but it's a plus when not overdone. Even then, it's not that much important to me, I just can't stand that they decided to take away what was a positive for me and to change a project funded entirely by nostalgia to please some random bastards. What's the point of bringing back a title from the past if you're gonna modify it to appease modern standards? That thinking gave us most of Hollywood today's movies (Maleficent, the Thing's sequel, the new Ghostbusters...), which are one worse than the other. And as someone already said, revealing this when the campaign was already funded and when they used Daphne's old design to promote it is simply dishonest.

I got refunded and sent a message to Bluth explaining my reasons. I also said I'll gladly give my money back if they decide to go back on their decision (if possible).
I know he has to appeal to a wider audience, but that's even worse: his decision won't really matter much in that regard.
>>
>>78444448

Thanks, I'm still here and I appreciate the response, because I donated to their first campaign, and am on the fence about this second one after reading that article. I'm looking for something that may sway me one way or the other.

Right now my take is pretty similar to yours. They're basically asking for hardcore fans to fund a casual product. I don't think I want to be a part of that. If the movie comes out, great, I'd probably go see it, but I'd do so as a casual. What I was a fan of was the original.

2D is already a dead artform for film. If he wants to reach more than just a small section of people, he had to change some things.

They should just re-release the game. It's nothing but QTEs with the pretension of a story attatched. Video Gamers love that shit.

here is the thing though: hardcore nerds are garbage, as is anyone who gets mad about animated character getting less sexualized, so it's okay to steal their money
>>
>>78446233
Where do you think we are? But even if people are shallow, no-one here is going to lie to you about their reasons. Personally I enjoy sexy characters in my entertainment. That's it. If people are going to make their sexy characters not sexy any more in an attempt to appeal to a different demographic that's fine, but they can no longer count on my support.

This is basically the situation with a lot of /co/ related media at the moment, at least in America (Europe still gives zero fucks and that's why they produce much better and more varied comics). But they're not having anything like the success they expected because, to use two sweeping blanket demographics, they're finding the tumblr demographic even smaller, more demanding and less likely to buy things than the 4chan one.

Not really. They japs know about it. Even Shuhei Yoshida said he thought the cancellation was because of "difference in culture in depiction of women" or something to that extent. SJW "journalists" have been blasting DOA for a while for being "sexist" or "misogynist".

Considering the hard-on all of America has for Ellen Page, who has the body of a 12 year old boy, I doubt it.

On the other hand SJWs are people who said the Sorceress and Amazon from Dragon's Crown were pedophile wetdreams. If you've seen those characters you'd know how fucking insane that is.

Marie is actually an amusing story.
Sweden banned the first few games because two of the charactesr, Kasumi and Ayane, were under 18 in the character select screen for the first couple of installments (this was implied rather than explicit; their ages were listed as ???). This is, of course, depsite them having racks that would make a 40 year old porn star jealous.

So then Team Ninja in their infinite wisdom decides "we're going to make the prerequisite lolicon appeal character and make her be from Sweden. Adn they won't be able to complain because we'll explicitly say she's 18 even if she looks 10!"

Having said that I don't think that's the problem with X3 because these people have been complaining before Marie Rose even existed. I think we can take this one at face value.
