RE: X-Men The Animated Series is being revived!
It's coming next month.
I remember watching a few episodes of the original series back when it aired on Fox Kids and liking it fine. Guess I'll be spending the next few days on Disney Plus.

RE: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Just finished the demo, and the scenes in the reactor are far creepier than in the original. And Sephiroth's slow descent into madness was genuinely unnerving.

RE: Disney animation thread
I saw Strange World today. It suffered from what I like to call Avatar Syndrome, when a movie has impressive visuals and a weak story. It's a shame, because I thought the pulp sci-fi setting was a lot of fun, but I didn't really care about any of the characters.
Disney's sci-fi movies, not counting Lilo & Stitch, haven't exactly been box office hits, as far as animated films go, anyway. But even then, I enjoyed Atlantis despite its flaws and I know it has a bit of a cult following. Treasure Planet is on my long backlog of movies.
They'll probably put more advertising into Wish, which I'm hoping will win me over.

RE: Disney animation thread
Here's a teaser for Zootopia +.
Zootopia was my favorite of the newer Disney movies. It looks pretty funny from what little they show.

RE: What are you reading? (Literature)
I'm continuing my October tradition with another Stephen King audiobook. This year, I'm listening to Thinner. It has plenty of the stock characters you'd expect from King, but that's kind of why I like him. I don't think it'll rank high on my list along with The Talisman or Rose Madder, though.

RE: Disney animation thread
Yeah. I'm gonna be staying away from these live action remakes. They're just not grabbing me. Maybe if Disney didn't play it safe and try making them a little more different from the originals I'd give them a chance. And it looks like we're not seeing the end of them anytime soon since they keep making money.
On a more positive note, I just starting watching The Owl House. I was immediately reminded of Discworld with the way it mocks and pays homage to fantasy tropes at the same time. While it doesn't have as many laughs as something like Gravity Falls, I still feel the same energy behind the writing. And on that note, King is definitely my favorite character. He kind of reminds me a bit of Chopper, with a bit of Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
