"The original animated film landed in the middle of the Disney Renaissance"

Contemporary movies set in that era ('71-'81) tend to avoid giving major characters giant glasses, big hair or mustaches because it's distracting. Even though they were common at the time.

"Yoda" still holds up as a parody 30+ years later ("I'll be making these movies 'til I'm old and grey"), but "The Saga Begins" was basically dated by the time it was released.

I saw "Dick" in the theater!

So as it stands, the Best Picture race is between "Birth of a Nation" and "La La Land."

Inside Out was that rare recent movie that had a theme you could leave the theatre humming.

Would have been curious about Desplat. We know Giacchino can do this because of Star Trek, so was curious to hear AD's take.

From the Creators of Frozen and Zootopia?

Historians will think The Good Dinosaur was a Disney movie, not a Pixar movie.

It's 1986.

Because the music for E.T. (also 1982) was better. There's a reason John Williams is John Williams.

The score is not iconic, except maybe to Blade Runner fans. Outside the movie, most people wouldn't recognize it.

This looks good, but I'm dreading the parts that wink at the audience, like he's Goldie Wilson or something.

I thought issue about his use of South African musicians wasn't so much about cultural appropriation but that he was doing it during Apartheid.

Best 80s songs with this exact premise ("emotionally swayed by the sincerity of those who had traveled to the musical landmark to pay their respects to a fallen legend") RANKED:

From Wiki: "The [Beverly Hills Cop] script was then sent to Sylvester Stallone, who gave the script a dramatic rewrite and made it into a straight action film.[5] In one of the previous drafts written for Stallone, the character of Billy Rosewood was called "Siddons" and was killed off half-way through the script…
