We are thrilled to announce that “Gigantic,” inspired by “Jack and the Beanstalk,” is coming to theatres in 2018! The film will be directed by Tangled's Nathan Greno and will feature music from Oscar-winning songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez!

I wonder if that is concept art or the actual animation style of the film? Either way, it's really nice.
Anyone else notice how many recent Disney movies have one-word adjectives for titles? Brave? Tangled? Frozen? Gigantic? I'm noticing a trend! Lol.

That's concept art. The film will be CGI. I'm looking forward to it!

I'm disappointed. First, the title is awful. Second, it sounds cute and sounds cool in some elements, but I find it to be rather very immature from a company that nailed Little Mermaid, Beauty & the Beast, Snow White, & Snow Queen.
What we had before was so much nicer and Disney-esque:
Eh, we'll find out soon.

Ouch. The new name was really unnecessary as GIANTS had a better ring to it. Disney's Giants rolls off the tongue far easier than Disney's Gigantic does.

Not Pixar, WDAS.

It goes with the theme of Tangled and Frozen. If The Little Mermaid were released today, it would be called "Wet"

"Not Pixar, WDAS"
My brain thought WDAS, but my fingers typed Pixar. Thanks!

Some of the lyrics from one of the songs
"There are so many things you can do with a little man."

and
"He's cutest when he jumps on a sponge cake"

Maybe try being a little.less pessimistic seeing as there is still a lot of time between now and the release date for changes to happen. I doubt every single Disney blockbuster was fully fleshed out in their early stages.
Posted: 8/14/15 at 10:33pm
^Yeah, I'm striving to be as positive as I can. I do appreciate that they're trying to be original and the movie does look cute
Posted: 8/14/15 at 10:37pm
"^Yikes. That song doesn't sound good so far"
If it helps, the song is sung by the giant who's suppose to be an eleven year old girl

Good Lord...

They couldn't wait a couple years to talk about things for 2018?
On the other hand, the Christmas 2017 ornaments are out already.

Disney only does its D23 Expo every other year. If they waited until the next one to talk about it, they'd be a mere year away from release. Not saying they should be pimping it now, but I can see that they're trying to get their money's worth out of this Expo.

I'm starting to warm up to the movie. I am still disappointed that they changed Imna from this great warrior to a giant that is a little kid....that plays dollie with Jack (The tea party scene does sound very funny/cute though) and that their version of J&B is not this epic that Disney does best, that Giants sounded like it was. But, it's very original and this is just like Giants with the awesome Storm Gods and stuff. And I am very excited to see the giant world. And that it is in Spain and they will explore that. Eh, there are more positives than negatives.

I'm excited for this. There's very few Disney movies "designed" for boys so I'm very glad this one is happening.

"I'm excited for this. There's very few Disney movies "designed" for boys so I'm very glad this one is happening."
Aladdin, The Lion King, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Tarzan, Wreck It Ralph, Big Hero 6
I'm glad they're sticking with a female giant. I found Tangled to be immature/skew younger but I think that would actually work better for this story so I don't mind it as much.
Posted: 8/16/15 at 1:07am
Yeah, sorry I don't really think most little boys watch THE LION KING, HUNCHBACK, WRECK IT RALPH or BIG HERO 6 and think "I wanna be that!" like the little girls can watch pretty much any Disney flick and say "I wanna be that!"
So yeah, I'm glad there's another big animated film with a boy in the lead.
Posted: 8/16/15 at 1:32am
It's my life dream to become a hunchback, so....
Posted: 8/16/15 at 1:46am
It's MY life dream to live in a building as magnificent as Notre Dame.
Who cares if I'm deaf!

The movie will officially be released on March 9, 2018.
Now we are on topic, I listened to Something Rotten this morning and even though he's Italian, John Cariani would be perfect for Jack. He’s in his late 40s, but he sounds so young. And his voice is so nerdy, sweet and meek. Adam Jacobs would be a great choice with the Disney hero singing voice & experience, but again he's not Spanish. He's Filipino and Jewish. What would be great Spanish actors for Jack? They can definitely do an open call for Spanish girls for the role of Imna like Moana.

Well that's dissapointing. It was a cute concept and the art has a pretty style/feel to it. I can only hope this'll be explored sometime in the future, or they'll come up with something better.
