Live Poll: Honest Movie Titles: 2019 Edition

Added some titles but most are blank, as I know they must be on there because they were big movies, but either I haven't seen them or I just don't know what to put.  Please suggest!

Actually Frozen II should be “The Fifth Elements”. Because both Elsa and Anna are the 5th element... AKA a bridge between man and the elements.
The Terminator: Dark Fate” was just another “A Variation of the First Two Terminator Films Redux”.

“I’m No Joke”

Good point about Frozen II, but technically the plot and the internet only consider Elsa an element, because she is connected to nature.  Anna represents the human side of it; she cannot hear the voice or tame the spirits.  The Fifth Element is really just a joke, naming it after the Bruce Willis movie of the same name.  :)

Added Joker.  :)

Thanks! I didn’t notice “Aladdin” on the list. That makes this suggestion for “The Lion King” a part three or part four. (It depends on how you want to count “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” in relation to Disney’s 2d animated “Sleeping Beauty”.
“Disney Drawing Mustaches on their Cell Animated Classics Part 3, 2019 Edition: The Lion King”

Or for “The Lion King” and “Dumbo” and “Lady and The Tramp” (streaming on Disney plus) - “If You Can’t Remake Your 2d Hand Drawn Cell Animated Movies Better in CGI, Don’t Remake It At All!”

dgranger,
I am working on a separate list for live action and then one for animated Disney movies, and the theme is honest titles and taglines.  Those sound more like taglines, and in the tradition of these Honest Movie Titles: **** Edition polls, we should stick to title-sounding phrases only.  But, once I get those other lists up and running on here, I will gladly consider those!  :D  Thanks!

“Toy Story 4” - “The Lost Toys” or “Woody’s Last Roundup: Toy Story Ends” or “Woody and Bo-Peep Go Rogue”. Frankly, where can the storyline can go from here? The storylines have always centered around Woody and Buzz. Now Woody is gone. Where can the story go? No where in my opinion. It is done.

Personally, I would like to see where else the story could go - just because Woody is "gone" doesn't mean they can't reunite.  I usually hate it when companies drag a franchise on and on, but I think TS is delightful enough that they could pull it off.
And you gave me a great idea for the honest title!  :D

Oh, sorry... :)  it was good, but I guess I felt the movie wasn't repetitive, so I wanted something that just kind of was a joke on another movie.

I thought the sequel was unnecessary in the sense that they could make a totally different movie with Bo Peep as the central character, her introduction in the narrative as a bad-ass and free-spirited female character not only relegated Jessie to a secondary almost tertiary level (which isn't fair) but it also damaged the key elements of Woody's personality that took three great movies to build.

Woody has always cared for Andy because it's the core of the series: the attachment of the toy to its owner, but Bo Peep introduced a new reading on that relationship, she doesn't want to be owned and would rather be a lost toy. Fair enough, but then Woody could agree to disagree with Bo Peep and stick to his guns and say that for him a toy is nothing without an owner but in that film, the writers made him admit that he didn't want to be free, h alway wanted to have another owner because he had nothing else to do.

Quite a revelation, so much for the toy's mantra... and that admission from the hero to a character who just pops out of nowhere after two decades... well,  I perceived it a sign of weakness. I don't mind a series having a new strong character but not at the expenses of the established hero. Hence the what for?

Ah, I never looked at it that way before.  I saw a lot of good in it, which I still believe was there, but I never saw it as ruining Woody's values.  Now that you've said that, it is very poor writing to have Woody admit he apparently didn't want an owner.  But then again, I think that also raises two more good points:  1) Although Woody loved Andy, he'd been "lying" to himself all this time, like many people do with their own lives.  You can have a great relationship/experience, but once it's over you have to move on.  And 2) Love is a powerful thing and it's natural for Woody's affection for Bo Peep to convice him to move on.  Almost saying, he's not clingy and "childish" anymore, he's mature and can think for himself.

I guess it just depends on how one looks at it.  :)

I agree with your points but I still look at them as problematic for different reasons.

 1) kind of compromises the credibility of the other movies (especially the third) when you look at them retrospectively and 2) is contradictory because it does offer an alternate scenario for toys: living outside that sacred bond with the owner, but basically we've always seen Woody interacting with the other toys for the past two decades, with Buzz and Jessie and all the team, so the so-called lesson of "4" was actually the whole narrative of the other films, toys being friends and even involved in romantic relationships (Buzz and Jessie)... maybe if Bo Peep was introduced earlier... but seeing Woody abandoning his friends for her made me feel bitter, because Buzz was Woody's second partner after Andy.

Yes, I suppose both ways of looking at it can be frustrating.  :D
I guess the main reason I liked it was because of all the stupid, new things Disney has been churning out over the past 5 years or so, it was nice to see a fun, sweet movie with heart, with genuine voice actors that didn't consist of people like Katy Perry or Justin Timberlake.  :)

We can just agree to disagree and see what we think of Toy Story 5 (if there is such a thing), lol.

I like what was said here but a point is missing. Andy is already out of the picture. At the beginning of this picture, he has a new owner who is abandoning Woody in the closet. Woody is now an abandoned toy. He now has to make the adjustment and he still helps others toys find there best owners - for lack of a better term to express it.
Personally, I don’t see how they can move the franchise forward without Woody. And I didn’t like how they demoted Buzz. In Toy Story 2, he was light years more smarter than what he was in 4. Not logical.

That's very true - he didn't really leave anyone behind; Andy said goodbye and Bonnie has found new playthings.
