Canniblism in PoC Sequel

[sapiendut]

Funneeee!

Right, wrong, or whatever, but doesn't Disney get different types of complaints from various groups when a lot of their movies are released?

Isn't it called a story? I had no idea you had to only make movies on actual true happenings. Are you saying Toy Story really happened? Did they get all the fact from the toys themselves?
I don't get this? If Disney was doing a documentary on the Carib I would expect accuracy, but a story about make-up wearing, skeleton turning, joke telling pirates?
Everybody's looking for a fight, eh? Even the cannibals!

First Cannibal - I don't like your mother in law.
Second Cannibal - Well leave her on the side of the plate and just eat the fries.

I thought they were real and historically accurate!!

Sorry if I made an uninformed assumption that eating people isn't particularly entertaining, especially in a film like PoC.

If the film were complete and in theaters, that would be one thing, but unless you've gotten a sneak preview of the film, how do you know it won't be entertaining in the context of the film? Come on ... cannibalism has been part of movies and cartoons as long as I can remember. Looney Tunes, in particular, is fond of the motif. The old "On the Road to..." films utilized it a couple of times, as did Laurel & Hardy, the Marx Brothers, even Gilligan's Island. On a more modern note, all the Hannibal Lecter films use it to dramatic (and entertaining ... if you like those types of movies ...) effect. PoC is a fictional film, after all and, as you said, not meant to be an educational or historically accurate film. I think most modern movie-goers are smart enough to realize that. And I think most modern movie-goers are clever enough to not believe everything they see on the screen.

I think the joke came out a few years ago when Pocahontas (spelling?) came out, ppl were ticked because it wasn't historically acurate and most of the stuff didn't happen and Jay Leno said something along the line of "And a talking lion cub is alright and accurate??"

Speaking of which , when HAS a Disney movie been totally accurate and not stereotypical?? (Do ALL English Ppl REALLY sound like Dick Van ****'s portrail?"

"And a talking lion cub is alright and accurate??"

It IS accurate, it retells the story of Tezuka's Kimba the White Lion very accurately.

I think he was just refering to the fact that critters can talk and sing in Disney Movies.

 

[sapiendut]

I know, I'm just joking around.

From Jim Hill Media:

Said one clearly frustrated member of the "Pirates" production team:

"Talk about making something out of nothing. We're not shooting a documentary that alleges that the Carib Indians ever indulged in cannibalism. We're shooting a big budget fantasy film where pretend pirates are threatened by pretend cannibals."
