so is he not doing the voice then? Because if not that sucks. I enjoy the way he can deliver his lines.

whatever. Its not like I will go out of my way to see it. I just belive in reserving judgement until I see/read/play something. If thats not how you are ok. I respect that. (you meaning people in general)

Yeah... they felt his voice was too old sounding, so they redubbed his lines.

I try very hard to reserve judgement, and I find out half the stuff I give a chance and try to like I do... the other half proves me right, and makes me HATE the fact I gave it a chance. I didn't think I'd care for Regular Show or Adventure Time... I didn't even like AT's artwork... but I gave it a shot and I quite enjoy them now. The Yogi Bear movie I reserved judgement for, I blew 6 bucks seeing it, and I cannot stop talking about how awful it was.

Now... how much of a chance is someone willing to give a movie that did poorly at the box office, looked terrible, and came from a studio with a history of poorly performing, ugly movies? I tried giving Polar Express a shot on television and HATED how it looked, and how it was a nightmarish, dark, murky, scary stunt filled version of a quiet little book I loved as a childhood bedtime story. A D student can get the occasional C, but if he still gets D's afterward, it's a lost cause.

Sometimes the cover tells you EXACTLY what the book's about.

Then you're probably going to hate the news that the people behind the Yogi Bear movie are bringing in the Rio writers to script a suckquelle.

My fault for going to the first one... but hey, they GOT to have more talent than the hacks that stole the Garfield movie script and just replaced all references to Garfield and lasagne with Yogi and Pic-a-nic baskets.

I'm not going to bother, anyway, but hopefully they can kill the bad forced romantic comedy subplot. What am I saying subplot? The Yogi part of the movie was the subplot... duh!

You do have a point. While I say I reserve judgement, if something looks remotely bad or something I wouldnt like, I will either get the bootleg, wait until its on tv, or find a friend who has the dvd. I also dont believe in giving money to a company if Theres a chance I won't like their product

I will say this. MNM shows that Disney's gotten much craftier and much more strategic in releasing movies. You see, there were two movies Disney clearly knew were going to be unsuccessful and released as contractual obligations (these are facts). The other was one I'm not going to mention. There is no greater honor than the fact Disney gave the Muppets one of the most competitive slots there is, just before Thanksgiving. Summer is strategically planned with basically one movie a month, Pirates May, Cars June, Pooh July...and arranged so they won't really butt heads with Marvel comics movies. You gotta think, they have at LEAST 6 of their properties (Marvel films by other companies, though) in a 3 month period.

But back to the two other films. They knew that there was no way these films would make much of a profit, so they just dumped them off earlier in the year. If they're still able to make money, chances are they'll make it back in DVD sales (which are more important in cases).

Now the strange thing about this is, MNM bombed as expected, the other one (and I'm clearly not thrilled with this) filled a gap in a time in the year when kids were on winter break in some areas, and it actually made money and the DVD's are (unfortunately) selling. So basically Disney really didn't want to release said movie, but now they're pretending to like it because it made them money when they didn't expect it to.
