devpool Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I'm the opposite. I though Luca was ok, but liked Raya better. I don't think either movie was at the level I usually expect from Disney/Pixar though. Idk what I expected out of Luca but I didn't think the story was all that interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raya had some funny parts, and I’d probably agree now that it’s better than Luca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gannan Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 My wife and I watched "Luca" with the boy (he's 8). My 11yo girl has decided she is too cool to watch Disney movies with the family (dear sweet merciful lawd give me strength). My wife and I loved it. The boy thought it was "weird" at first but got really into it by the end. Definitely worth a watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can watch cartoon zombies, vampires, Pokemon, etc. But some of the Pixar movies bother him because they are always full of tragedy with parents or dealing with heavy emotions. Does Luca get all emo like Inside Out or depressing like Up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Luca get all emo like Inside Out or depressing like Up? A little. The one boy is on his own because he was ditched by his father. The other one runs away because his parents want to send him away and that is how they meet and become friends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homerpat Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I was pretty critical of Scarlet Witch show and really didn’t care for Falcon show, but Marvel absolutely freaking knocked it out of the park with Loki.

I hear ya, but paying $30 for a movie at home to stream upon release I just am never ever going to do. I will always be able to find something streaming on Netflix/HBO Max/Amazon Prime for a monthly fee I'm already paying for, before I am going to cough up $30 for a new at home movie. I will go to the theatres for that if I want to see something new that bad and enjoy the movie going experience (even if it does come with the overpriced popcorn/soda). I just can't commit to a $30 streaming movie out of principle (we can just watch something else "for free"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on a platform such as Disney+ I see that I am the outlier here and not their target audience.

Honestly I probably wont make it a habit to buy movies like this in the future, but this time around it was just more convenient to watch it at home. My kids like going to see the movies Sunday morning/early afternoon and then we usually go out to lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent23 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I don't think the $30 is actually buying the movie though, is it? Meaning, you pay $30 (plus your Disney+ subscription) just for the "rights" to watch the film early. In some span of time (60 days?) the movie will become a permanent part of the Disney+ library that anyone with a subscription can watch. But if you cancel or stop paying for your D+ subscription, I'm guessing you completely lose Black Widow. Meaning, if you cancel or choose not to re-new your D+, loading the App wont just be a blank screen with ONLY tiles selectable for the Black Widow on Mulan films that you paid separate money to watch.

This is right. We've paid for a couple of them. Still cheaper to pay the $30 than to take the whole family to the theater. I haven't sprung for Black Widow, yet, though. The kids haven't been clamoring to see it, and I'm not paying $30 to watch it by myself. I may wind up waiting until it's for sale on disc, or streaming for free.

I followed up this post with another saying I don't have kids so know I'm not the target audience for this type of thing, where the multiple people viewing it helps make it worth the purchase. That said, I did buy "Nobody" with Bob Odenkirk when it came out for $20 that my fiance and I watched. So for the right scenario I would do it. I'm just a huge BrBa and BCS fan so this was an easy purchase to me, since I felt like I was supporting an actor I'm a big fan of. Just once you go over $20 is where it feels like a litttttttle too much for me haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devpool Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Yea as long as you get a couple people to pitch in it's an easy decision. I think there were like 7 of us who all went to my friend's house I just gave them $5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And spoiler it wasn’t worth it, but whatever. I make decent money and it would cost me that to go with wife to movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBW Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Jungle cruise was fantastic! For $30 my entire family of 4 watched it along with my In laws and my parents will be coming over to watch it at some point. Way cheaper than the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna need someone to explain the new fast pass system to me. When are you planning on going? We used to go every year for a while because I had conferences there every fall, but we haven't been since 2016. Now I want to go back before my kids get too old for it. They are 8 and 11 and will be 9 and 12 this summer. We talked about going this past summer but airfare was outrageous. I wanted to drive down but my daughter was all dramatic about it so we ended up taking a road trip around New England instead (which was awesome, but not much cheaper all things considered). Not sure if @opengeo is still posting here these days, but I seem to recall he went not too long ago and was talking about the new fast pass system. When we went in 2016 you basically could pick 3 rides a day (or was it 2?) to use a fast pass on and schedule a time window for your fast pass. We used it on the popular rides at the time, Frozen was a big one back when we went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
