Hollywood execs can be some of the most dumbest people who don't understand the public.

But then they sit in a room trying to make their movie make billions at the box office so if you did that for 20+ years you are sure to be broken deeply inside and not care about art anymore.

keep crying about it and give them more free publicity

>>79657082
no because 2017 has a lot of transgender, transexual, homosexual, lesbian and gender fluid kids who will get offended by violence or male characters.

I'm thankful for this so /tv/ has something new to complain about until it gets released and then promptly forgets about aside from the occasional mention in a info-graph.

Hopefully it'll get people interested in seeing the original version.

I will never understand why this happens.
Just make a new god damn story. There is literally a 0% chance that this film will be as good as or better than the old one, so it will be discussed only in that context, and that will not help.
I get it, if some sensitive little shits cant relate to a movie because none of the rabbits are girls, whatever. I slightly see where that comes from, but for fucks sake you are setting yourself up for failure if the route you take is a reboot of literally one of the greatest animated films of all time.

Who's ready for flash tier animation?

I'm planning on making a child-friendly remake of Predator, which will feature some powerful female characters as well as the classic ones. I want this remake to unite whole families, and bring this classic story to a new generation.

They are rabbits. They don't need identity politics and "positive role models." In the book they don't even care who joins their new warren and only while they already reached Watership Down they realized they need does. Lack of females is an important plot point. There are like two named females in the story. One is a farm rabbit and the other actually becomes quite involved in the action and in the end becomes Hazel's mate I believe but I may be wrong.

>>79657711
Yes, but rabbits don't fucking make plans or discuss things with each other. They mainly just fuck and breed all the time when they're not grazing.

>>79657762
You've clearly not spent a lot of time around women if you earnestly believe this to be true. Either that, or you're fantastic at lying to yourself.

Children's media should challenge children in a way that makes them intellectually active.

THAT BEING SAID, HOWEVER, after watching the 1978 version of Watership Down, I never considered it a "children's film", nor a movie appropriate for children. While I don't think movies should be sanitized for children, I feel like the 1978 version of Watership Down would fuck up younger children, and there's more appropriate material for that demographic out there.
I've always viewed it as a strange piece of adult-oriented animation art-film that just happens to feature characters that we're USED to seeing in children's movies, i.e. talking rabbits.
I always viewed the movie itself closer to something like The Animatrix than to Winnie the Pooh, just like the novel it is based on is far closer to Animal Farm than it is to Peter Cottintale.

That being said, they need to not remake this for children.
Don't dumb-down/soften the original that wasn't intended for kids anyway. Adapt some other, more appropriate IP for television.

yeah honest to fucking god the reboot/remake scene is absolutely out of control at this point; i really, really, REALLY feel as if execs were idly flipping through old influential and impactful animated series and films to appropriate and pasteurise for modern children's cinema using modern ideals of equality and G-rated wholesome fun, and somehow without even understanding what they were looking at decided that this was the piece that would make bank.
who the fuck would even consider watching a toned-down watership down when you take into account the horribly scarring reputation it already has? clearly a lot of people haven't heard of this, since there was whatever twitter scandal of people being shocked and offended after watching it over easter. what parents will there be, however, who look up this amazing new movie Watership Down and find the articles stating how disturbing the original was? will they want to watch the remake? probably fucking not, but remake culture goes on.

I think it's fucking horseshit. Yeah, Watership Down was a deceptive and terrifying film. It's also one of the best and most emotional animated films ever made.

I read Watership Down, and it's a fascinating novel. The rabbits have language, religion, and social structure all derived from actual rabbit behaviour.

I remember very clearly that there's an extended squence wherein the Protagonist rabbit dreams of the black rabbit of Inle, a mimic of our Grim Reaper and sort of a trickster like Loki, who advises him on his current predicament.

Point being, it's been ages since I read the book, but it' s simply not a children's story. It's closer to Lord of The Rings than Briar Rabbit. Stop dumbing things down for the already stupid kids.

>They're going to make it 4 hours worth of thinly-veiled refugee acceptance and womyn's empowerment whilst likely including one or more of those token and ever-more common scenes that serves only to embarrass a male character

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watership_Down#Criticism_of_gender_roles

The 1993 Puffin Modern Classics edition of the novel contains an afterword by Nicholas Tucker, who wrote that stories such as Watership Down "now fit rather uneasily into the modern world of consideration of both sexes". He contrasted Hazel's sensitivity to Fiver with the "far more mechanical" attitude of the bucks towards does, who Tucker considers are portrayed as "little more than passive baby-factories".[39]

In "Male Chauvinist Rabbits", an essay originally published in the New York Times Book Review, Selma G. Lanes observed that the does are only "instruments of reproduction" to prevent the achievement of reaching Watership Down from "becoming a hollow victory".[40] Lanes argued that this view of the female rabbits came from Adams himself rather than his source text, Ronald Lockley's The Private Life of the Rabbit in which the rabbit world is matriarchal, and new warrens are always initiated by dissatisfied, young females.[41]

In similar vein, literary critic Jane Resh Thomas stated that Watership Down "draws upon ... an anti-feminist social tradition which, removed from the usual human context and imposed upon rabbits, is eerie in its clarity". Thomas also called it a "splendid story" in which "anti-feminist bias ... damages the novel in only a minor way".[42] She later explained: "I was angry and hurt when I read the book.... I felt he [Adams] had treated me and my kind with a contempt I couldn't be silent about."[43]

Adams' 1996 sequel, Tales from Watership Down includes stories where the female rabbits play a more prominent role in the Watership Down warren. It has been suggested that this might have been an attempt to modernise the story, to make it more in tune with the political sensibilities of the 1990s, when it was published.[44]

>All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

Everything El-Ahrairah related is Silmarillion tier comfy. They should make a movie about the Prince with a Thousand enemies.

>>79656984
so get ready for general woundwort to get killed a by a stronk independent womyn rabbit instead of a dog, thus compromising all symbolism the character had?

They're actually making this right now. It features a child actor and everything.

you know there are kids who love horror movies right? I remember wathing this as a kid and having a blast,not that it was horror but I didnt find movie violence scarring at all, yeah is pretty harcore but thats life

Good, Watership Down is fucked up. Nobody wants to watch poor little animated rabbits in those situations.

>>79661983
The fact that the rabbits go through that shit is what makes the story so strong. The happy endings never feel earned in children's movies anymore

>>79662041
Just because it ultimately makes the character(s) strong doesn't mean I want to see it. Just like I don't want to see a man get his penis cut off and his teeth violently pulled out even if it makes him strong and allows him to grow in the end. Just the same as A Serbian Film, it doesn't bother me one bit and there is some stuff it does well, doesn't mean I want to see it again.

>>79661967
What a waste of perfectly good meat desu.

>>79656984

Hey remember when they remade Dad's army and one of the reasons they did it was so that it could have a strong female character in it?

Look at how that went.

Children aren't allowed to feel anything any more
Just sterilise those imaginations with tablets so the parents can do what they want without the hassle of being involved
I genuinely feel sorry for little kids who are going to grow up just staring at screens and devices all the time. It's a fun time-killer when you're old enough, but they're missing out on kid stuff. Every child I know under ten is obsessed with watching shit on a tablet and it's fucking tragic. There's plenty of time for that when you're older, go climb a fucking tree with your pals

>>79657457
This. I mean sure the kids might get ""traumatized"" (only for a day, because kids forget things easily) but it will grow them stronger vs every kid watches my little pony and cries when they get bullied on the internet

Why does this shit keep happening?

Original BFG: Giants were scary as fuck
Remake: Giants were comical buffoons

What's so wrong with scaring children?

>remake had perfect casting and performance for the BFG
>was let down by being overly bloated and not scary enough

Why do Americans struggle so hard to capture the spirit of Dahl books? Willy Wonka's chocolate factory (and the remake), The Witches, Fantastic Mr Fox, Matilda (perfect Trunchbull) , US BFG... None of them properly capture the themes and messages of his books.

>>79662166

She was a Nazi spy though.

this is why no one takes you seriously

Hey /tv/, pissed that execs are cashing in on another committee-approved remake of your childhood? Pissed that your kids might only be left with this shameful adaptation?

Great news, then. You and your kids can just read the original. Novels continue to remain largely free from this remake shit.

>>79662602
Not when they're working for the antagonists. That makes them backstabbing bitches, which is a negative female stereotype.

>>79662582

Was talking about Dahl Books specifically there. American adaptations always seem to miss the point of them.

This is Dahl kino:

You haven't seen the shit that's going on with scifi at the moment.

>>79662662
100% guaranteed there's going to be a novel of the movie

it'll contain just enough social justice themes to be pushed over the original in every single environment

>>79662505

It's because any of the Anglo Saxon works first have to go through the outlook of a Jewish movie executive/producer/director before being made into a film.

Americans can't fully comprehend British culture, especially literary works from the early to mid 20th century.

It's all about a shekel grab and poisoning young minds with Judeo-Marxist propaganda.

>>79658367
Care to indicate the part of my post where I said people should get stressed about it?

>>79662865

What are they re-writing in sci-fi? Trying to update The Forever War from Vietnam to Iraq?

>>79657254
Oh yeah, my little brother told me about this one. He cried like a little bitch.

>>79656984

Pfft my parents rented this dozens of times. Pretty some asses just kept putting it in the kid section. There was death in every kid's film back in those days.

>>79662992

It won't, though. And it really won't.

I don't understand what the problem is in kids crying. Who convinced these moron American parents that children need to be shielded from anything that isn't rainbows and sunshine?

Almost every school child in the UK has seen watership down up until say 2000. Usually in school.

Most of the time in primary.

I mean the boy they give the dream to. The main character girl getting adopted by the queen is acceptable, that's from the original book IIRC.

>>79663906
You don't actually see it in the original, only the girl's reaction.

>>79664031
well, the only time i remember a human being eaten by a giant (offscreen and onscreen) is when the bfg gives sophie a nightmare about the giants eating her, which i guess is kinda scary

what the fuck is the point

watership down has a message

if you want to convey a different one, make a new goddamn film

i'm not against the idea of female heroics, but i don't see how this heavy-handed shoehorning is supposed to be the answer, especially when it usurps the original point of an already excellent film in the process

if female empowerment and sensitivity to violence are important to you, make your own movie that gets those points across
