Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of Caravanna Garbage, where we're bringing to a conclusion our look at four big Disney bombs. Terrific. This might be the best one yet. In what sense? It's the latest, which means it's the one I remember the most, which makes it the best one yet. Okay. Wouldn't that apply to every one of these you've just seen?
Starting point is 00:00:20 That's right. Okay, great. Best ones yet. So if you watch the Lone Ranger again, you'd be like, this is the best one yet. That's probably the best one yet. Or it would be if I watched it again, which I will after this. Please leave a like because, let me tell you, I would love to watch the Lone Ranger again
Starting point is 00:00:35 and know that people support me in doing so. That would be lovely, wouldn't it? Just a bit of support, finally. Finally. So to wrap this up, we're looking at 2015's Tomorrowland. Whoa. Or as now it's called on, at least the Australian version of Disney Plus, Tomorrowland, colon a World Beyond.
Starting point is 00:00:54 Yes, it was also called that in its cinema release in the UK. Ah, the UK. because and I wonder about this myself and I did my own research it's because in Europe the trademark Tomorrowland is taken by a music festival
Starting point is 00:01:11 in Belgium so it would be funny I think either way either like you know a bunch of optimistic teens show up to the hard electronica music festival because they're like let's change the world and recycle after they've seen Tomorrowland and then they show up to this
Starting point is 00:01:27 or a bunch of European hardhouse enthusiasts wearing plastic pants and dog collars go to this movie being like I'm wearing for a treat here and it's George Clooney flinging a... It's George Clooney waving a ray gun about being like, these damn kids
Starting point is 00:01:42 doesn't work either way. No, you're right. There's no cross-probo here. They could have called it Tomorrowland Colin George Clooney yells a little girls or whatever because it's mostly that isn't it? I mean one's a robot and one's like 25-26 in real life. I should say
Starting point is 00:01:59 but yeah this is based on the Disneyland attraction of course of the same name which opened in the 1950s based on yeah loosely
Starting point is 00:02:06 what's the deal with that attraction it's to be like this is the future what if optimism what if the future there was you spoke to a robot
Starting point is 00:02:13 is this the one is this the attraction at Disneyland what if you hit the wheels on a car or whatever but it's still had wheels but is this what I'm asking
Starting point is 00:02:20 because I think there's a couple of Disneyland attractions sure that are similar one is like what if UFOs
Starting point is 00:02:26 and ray guns and flying cars or whatever and One was always like, look at this mobile phone, it's so small or whatever. It was actual products kind of thing. But then I think at a certain point, someone will know in the comments, at a certain point, like what you could just get in a shop was more advanced than what they were showing at the attraction or whatever.
Starting point is 00:02:44 At a tandy electronics or whatever. Yeah, they were like, look at this Nokia. And I'm like, great, I'll take a photo of that with my iPhone 17 or whatever. I guess it probably could become like a retro future kind of thing. I guess it could. Which Brad Bird is in love with, by the way. So, of course, they've done what they did on John Carter. They took a Pixar director.
Starting point is 00:03:02 He did The Incredibles and the Iron Giant at this point. The screenplays by him and also Damon Lindelof. When did he do the Mission Apostolable movie he did? 2011. Okay. So he's got a lot of hot juice right now. I think so, yeah. He's a man just dripping in hot Hollywood juice right now because he did The Incredibles,
Starting point is 00:03:23 which many people I think still regard as one of the best Pixar movies, if not the best Pixar movies. He did a great Mission Impossible movie D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-2011. Yeah. And this is, this is his blank check. This is his, well, we trust you now. You cannot possibly fail.
Starting point is 00:03:40 You can do, whatever is in the depths of your mind, Brad Bird, we will let you do that. We'll give you an unlimited budget to do this. You can peck it anything you want, Brad Bird. That's right, because you are, in fact, also a bird. You've overcome, you've overcome the adversity of literally being a bird. That's right. Well, he was actually. asked to direct Star Wars Episode 7.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Okay. And he said, no, I want to do Tomorrowland. Being able to do a film this size... Just to be clear, Star Wars Episode 7, The Force Awakens, one of the highest grossing movies of all time. Yeah. Which would have given him even more hot Hollywood juice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:14 An insane amount. He could have made 10 Tomorrowlands if he delayed this to make Star Wars Episode 7. I guess it depends on how his version was received. Probably pretty well, I'd imagine. And if he came back to do nine, and if he made the exact version of Episode 9 that we got, I don't know if he would have that kind of, he'd be dripping in that Bradbird juice anymore. Yeah, he'd be basing away in that Bradbird juice.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Though, I think his episode seven could have been very interesting. I guess I'm just assuming he would just, just that pretty much the same script. Like they would have said, make it like this, we need these action sequences. Well, it was Michael Arndt at one point, and he wrote some of the toy stories and I don't know. But then they scrapped all that, and Abrams rewrote it and whatever. Also a mission impossible guy. In a way Wait
Starting point is 00:04:59 In a way, making a Star Wars movie at this point Is a Mission Impossible, isn't it? It certainly is Mason Because they're bad We haven't seen The Mandalorian versus Groglet It could be incredible It could be incredible It couldn't be
Starting point is 00:05:15 It couldn't be Come back in the comments in a couple of years And prove me wrong the internet But you can't, can you? Because it was bad No, you just said not incredible. They filmed it in a cupboard. Well, I'm saying it's bad.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Anyways, the story of this, the world is cynical. And the lead actress in this... More like the blur of the... Are we watching the news? Wow, you're not wrong, Mason. Casey, she goes to a very cynical school where every teacher's like, the world's burning down and you're an idiot.
Starting point is 00:05:47 That's right. Don't even try, but she's like, I will try some things. And they hate that. I'll try terrorism. I'll try terrorism. against the government is what I'll try. Yeah, pretty cool. And my dad's, my dad will be like,
Starting point is 00:06:00 stop doing this terrorism. I'm sort of mad about it. I work for the government or myself. I work for the company you're doing a terrorism again. Kind of interstellar in that way, isn't it? Because in this, they've given up on space travel and optimism, which is what interstellar did and whatever. So true.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Anyways, in the 50s or 60s or whatever, there was a little boy, George Clooney, and his name is Frank Walker. I want to come back to that. Okay, sure. And he... Come on, I had the impression all ready to go, but all right, no, no.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Carry on, we'll do it later. And he's saying... Real ones know what I'm talking about. Absolutely. He gets sucked into the world of Tomorrowland, which you can access via a Disneyland attraction, where they basically building a future for everybody, where it's optimistic in jet packs and slick glass and whatever.
Starting point is 00:06:43 I mean, Jetpack is just the start of it. He's a boy genius who can sort of make a jetpack. And he sort of makes one, but then he gets thrust into the Tomorrowland Pocket dimension where just like a basic like construction robot can just fix his jetpack so I would say
Starting point is 00:07:00 he's surplus to requirements really isn't he well he does make a machine that can look at the future or whatever I guess he did do that didn't he and there's also I was going to say implied but there's also drinks you can have every morning where you basically are immortal until you get crushed and your leg
Starting point is 00:07:15 and then a big ball falls on you or whatever should have had a milkshake that prevents you're getting crushed to death yeah yeah anyway the world is spiraling out it's going to end And Britt Robinson is like, I want to save it. And George Clooney's like, I'm not saving anything. I'm George Clooney. I'm the character Frank Walker.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Let's talk about it. So, in the movie, Frank Walker is named after Brad Bird's long-time associate, John Walker, who produced the Incredibles. But how do we know Frank Walker the name? We know Frank Walker from a very local radio ad for a tile company where he goes, Hello, Frank Walker from National Tiles. Which adds a funny little additional wrinkle to this movie. Also, George Clooney, he's Michael Clayton. We did it.
Starting point is 00:07:58 We did every week. That's right. Except maybe the first week? I think we did them all. Okay, great. From memory. He is Michael Clayton. Why do you think this didn't land?
Starting point is 00:08:06 Well, look. Tomorrow lands. Oh, look, it's a movie with a bunch of social commentary before there was like an entire branch of the internet devoted to like shooting down anything that has like a social commentary in it. Before, you know, the idea, this is before you would make a movie where somebody's like, be a bit optimistic. And then like a hundred videos that week being like, this is woke, slop, garbage and it's blah, blah, blah, you know, all this sort of stuff. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:34 So I think. We're on the cusp of that here. Yeah, he had the, Bradbird had the opportunity to make a movie that was about something and it's about, hey, kids, be optimistic about the future. Don't give up. There's a lot of bad stuff and here it is. but you know keep trying and work together maybe it's a radio signal exactly that's why everything's bad but what he did and i think that's a good idea the problem is that in order for kids to watch this and be inspired by it you have to get them in the cinema in the first place and you can't do that
Starting point is 00:09:10 with george cluny he's not a draw he's a drawer if you love michael clayton and we do but he's not a draw for the target audience for this and Britt Britt Robertson it's the Jay Barrichelle effect I think which we talked about I don't think it's even that
Starting point is 00:09:26 Brit Robinson she did a fine job Oh no it's not a performance I think she's fun It's an age thing It's not I don't think it's even an age thing It's like well I mean it is an age thing But it's but nobody knows who this is
Starting point is 00:09:37 I went and I looked up Pop Star Girlies in 2015 You know what I said? Taylor Swift Oh yeah Bring Taylor Swift in. Your Disney, you've got unlimited money. Yep.
Starting point is 00:09:47 Get Taylor Swift in and she could be like, the environment's bad, but you can make it good. And people would, they'd swarm the cinema. That's probably true. You had, they needed to stunt cast this and they didn't do it. Or, um, only murders in the building? Nikki Webster. No, not Nikki Webster.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Selina Gomez. Exactly. Selina Gomez. I mean terrific. And she could have been like, I'm a bit cynical, but I'm not that cynical. And you should recycle. Yeah. And drink that shake that prevents you from being crushed to death by a crane or whatever.
Starting point is 00:10:13 No, it doesn't do that. Oh. I think it's very clear Don't worry about it then Yeah, don't worry about the show I think also yeah We said this at the time When it came out on our podcast
Starting point is 00:10:22 The Weekly Planet This is a collection of things For nobody now Yeah I understand Brad Bird loves this aesthetic And this kind of world building All of his movies are basically this With the exception of like Mission Impossible
Starting point is 00:10:34 It's retrofuturism Yeah It's what do they call it Raygun science fiction You know Exactly Also I think this is pretty good I liked it better than I did
Starting point is 00:10:44 when I first saw it. Yeah. And it's also, it's interesting going back to this, like, 10 years after and being like, fuck, things are way worse than they were 10 years ago. Social media hadn't even reached its peak. No. At this point. Not at all.
Starting point is 00:10:58 I'll say this, though, you know, as I said, it looks good. A lot of it was like real locations. The touching the pin and then appearing in the other dimension effect is great. And that's done for real. That's just clever editing, which I think is fantastic. You know, it's not a blood. Wouldn't do that these days. No, no clever editing anywhere.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Like, I like that. I love the products, placement, Oreos, ice cold, Coca-Cola, a store full of Star Wars IP that indicates that Disney just got the Star Wars IP and they had a new Star Wars movie coming out soon. Oh, nice. Just all the special effects and musical cues from Star Wars. It's got great guest appearances. Catherine Hahn, Kig and Michael Key,
Starting point is 00:11:34 Judy Greer as a classic Dead Mum edited out of the movie. That's from the Tron Legacy School of Movie Making as well. Absolutely it is. But it's just, I don't know, it's just not, I don't want to say it's not anything, because that's not true. It doesn't feel worthless or weightless. Is it just wrong place, wrong time? I kind of think it could be. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:59 I think maybe 2007, you do this at like, I don't know, leading up to the Obama era, when everyone had misplaced optimism. I think maybe that's where this goes. They didn't know they were leading up to the Obama era, did they? No, I know that. Love him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's not a war criminal. It shouldn't be in jail.
Starting point is 00:12:14 I don't want to get into the specifics because then you start ranking presidents. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're all dog shit, man. They're all bad. Yeah. It's everywhere, man. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:12:23 The government, man. All we're saying is we were looking forward to a wonderful, optimistic era where the president loved a drone strike a wedding. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying, maybe we could have put it there, but we didn't know. We didn't know.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Yeah. No, we'll say there is a ruthlessness to this movie. They're pursued by robots. Who love to kill. They're just obliterating. people. At a number of points someone asks the main character if she's on drugs and I'm like
Starting point is 00:12:49 wouldn't put that in a Disney movie these days because then you put the idea of drugs in a kid's head and they're like what's that? I'll try it. I'll do drugs. I'll look on so I'll go to social media and look up drugs. I'll go to Vine and look up drugs. It's 2015. I'll ask chat GPT about drugs and it'll say you're a genius for thinking about doing drugs. You should do it.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Grock, should I do drugs? Yes. Here's a cool picture of you doing drugs with Elon Musk. He's cool. He is cool. Okay, so they have to get back into Tomorrowland to save the world or whatever. And they have to sort of do it sort of a roundabout way. They do some driving.
Starting point is 00:13:24 They do some teleporting. And they do some rocket ship in an Eiffel towering. Yeah, man. Pretty cool. Because, yeah, everybody's given up. Tomorrowland has collapsed in on itself as an idea because they basically built a machine, George Kalini, Frank Walker, hello, that predicts the future. And it's saying that it's going to, the world.
Starting point is 00:13:42 world is going to collapse. Because everybody's pessimistic. Everybody's pessimistic. All the climate stuff is going to all come, you know, arrive at the very same time, and there's going to be nuclear strikes, and all the dolphins are going to kill themselves. They're going to slit their wrists. That's all over. But it turns out that that's only, uh, that's, that future is only relevant because
Starting point is 00:14:03 House, Hugh Lorry, two TV doctors in this, by the way. Whoa. Yeah. Whoever George Clooney played an ER, I don't know his fucking name, man. Doctor her. Dr. Herr? Dr. Err on the side of sexiness. Nice.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Thank you. They could have put McDreamy or McSteamy. You make it a triple doctor movie. Dr. Err on the side of that haircut. You know the one? I know, I know. Brush it down, yeah. Because they're basically, they're sending this signal to Earth.
Starting point is 00:14:31 And it's interfering with people's brain, so they're only getting like the most negative picture of society. It's called social media, man. Well, that's the thing, right? Because, yeah, I guess that's what it's supposed to be. but I wish it was just like the solution to this that you pull the plug on this
Starting point is 00:14:47 and then everybody's fine again. I just don't. I didn't resonate with that. Like that's not going to happen, is it? No. Well, I mean, I guess that... I mean, there's a lot of things that aren't going to happen in this movie,
Starting point is 00:14:57 but it just felt... I guess that, I mean, I guess the downer of this kind of movie is that you are, that you are presenting the world with a kind of a techno-magical solution that the real world can never actually obtain. It's like, well, what we'll do is we'll take all the technology, the super advanced
Starting point is 00:15:15 future technology from tomorrow will hand, and we'll give it to a bunch of little robot girls, and they'll go out all in the world, and they'll give it to all the kids, and they'll be optimistic, and then we can save the world. But guess what, we don't have any of those things? We've only got rumbas. What are we going to do? Put a shake on a Roomba? Yep. And deliver it? Oh, that's DoorDash, isn't it? Yeah, that is DoorDash, yeah. Which is pretty good. This episode is brought you by DoorDash. want food? Do you want food? And it comes to you and you go, this seems expensive. Didn't this used to be cheaper? I want that, but also can I have it? It's normally hot food, but now it's
Starting point is 00:15:51 room temperature? And it's kind of congealed? Yeah, yeah. Can I have that? It's in one bag. It's all kind squished together. Like a rat king. Like a rat king of whatever food you had. Nice. I love that. Yeah, I would love that. How can we do that? Doodash? Use off a code, go fuck yourself. Do you think if the awful towel split open and a rocket flew out of it, people would be like, wow, wonder and all? Or would they just be like, who cares? I think they'd be like, what's this an ad for? Tomorrowland. The music festival.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Door Dash. Nice. I don't know. Okay, I'll say this. Tomorrowland, I think, is the world looks great. Even run down, I'm like, damn, this looks like Andor. It looks like where they filmed Andor. It does look like they filmed Andor.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Greenland or something. Yeah. And big retro robots fighting each other. That's fun. Doing a punch up. Crushed house. That's good. I'm enjoying all that. Hugh Lorry. I know he's, you know, he's getting into the spirit of things when he's wearing a wig. Did they go into space? Yeah, they went up to go back. No, but I mean, the people who lived in Tomorrowland. Oh, good question. They had a space, they had like a space, they're like an interstellar shuttle port or something.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Yeah. So have they gone into space? Or do they just, did that never get built? Because what we see of the future of Tomorrowland and everybody's running around Tomorrowland and this is great. That's an ad, remember? Yes. That's just an ad. And a lot of it wasn't. or was not real? I don't know. Yeah. Oh, and it ends with, yeah, because like you mentioned,
Starting point is 00:17:11 like little robot kids go out in the world and give people pins and then you can live in an optimistic world, but only if you're optimistic. And if you're not optimistic, too bad, you can't, you stay in squalor. Also, you know, statistically speaking, a bunch of the kids who find those pins
Starting point is 00:17:23 are going to, like, walk into a lake. Well, that's what I was going to say. Just, like, step off a train. Like, you know, like... I guess the idea behind the pins originally was when you were given the pin, you were already pretty much right next to Tomorrowland because you were at the World's Fair, right?
Starting point is 00:17:36 So they weren't really designed for you to find one like a hundred miles away from it. Oh, that's a great point. Yeah, I didn't think about that. Maybe the new ones have been like, they'll give you a little heads-up warning if you're about to walk off a bridge or something. It is crazy that you have to cover that actual distance to get to Tomorrowland. Also, they arrive in the same spot that Casey does. So what does that mean, Abe? I don't know, man. You know?
Starting point is 00:17:58 I don't know. But I was swept away in a magical world and I think that's important. I was sort of swept away at certain points when I went, oh, yeah. Remember this? Oh, yeah. Not bad. This is my favourite movie that I've seen at the moment. Look at all this Star Wars IP in this shop.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Yeah, that was good, wasn't it? So good. Yeah, and they're robots. Anyways, it's time for tomorrow trivia. I love that. A world trivia. The store that Casey visits is named Blast from the past. That's the same name as the store that Marty McFlyer visits in Back to the future, too.
Starting point is 00:18:24 I've got some facts about that store also. Please. Kiga Michael Key's character. Yes. His name is Hugo Gernsback. Okay. Who is famously a publisher of a science fiction magazine back in the day. Is it good?
Starting point is 00:18:36 I don't know. It's old. I'm not reading it. So no. But also, I think that's also a reference to a William Gibson story called the Gernsback continuum, which is about a photographer who goes on an assignment and he keeps seeing glimpses of a like a retro futuristic future. I keep seeing a glimpse of this. Right?
Starting point is 00:18:52 Right. Which is what happens in the movie. That's what happened. They're seeing glimpses. Brad Bird, he was ordering x-ray specs in the 50s and 60s. Hell yeah. Hell yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah. He probably got that Charles Atlas bodybuilding method.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Definitely. Shoots with springs on them or whatever. The musliest bird on the beach. Here's some names that were up for the lead. Shailene Woodley and Amelia Clark. They turned it down. Do you think that would have helped? I mean, peak Amelia Clark.
Starting point is 00:19:18 When was Game of Thrones? Game of Thrones started 2011. Oh. So, you know. That would have got some eyes on this. Yeah, I think so, yeah. Something to think about. George Clooney got the biggest salary of his career for this movie,
Starting point is 00:19:29 even more than Michael Clayton probably made at the box office. $25 million. Nice, not bad. Yeah. He looks good. He looks great There's no denying it He's a handsome movie star
Starting point is 00:19:40 Can we agree Can you at least meet me Halfway on that Mason He's an okay He's an okay movie star Alright He's one of the top 50 movie stars He might be
Starting point is 00:19:51 Michael Jekino Who of course He did the score for this movie And he also directed Whirlwolf by Night And other things He is the ride operator For it's a small world
Starting point is 00:20:00 Oh in the movie Not in real life No not no No Presumably Maybe after this They put him on it Maybe one would hope that writing the score for this in a bunch of other movies, including the Batman, would get him enough money that he could quit his job at the right operator of It's a Small World.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Yeah. If you've been on It's a Small World? No. Sucks! Wow. Box Office Mason. Oh, I have a fun fact. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:21 Beeman's gum that they use, that someone choose in this movie. Yeah. It's also the Rocketeers gum. Whoa. Yeah. That's a movie retro or something. I don't know if it's a real gum or whatever, but it doesn't matter. They own the IP.
Starting point is 00:20:32 That's right. Yeah. But you can probably buy it at Disney World or whatever. I bet you can probably buy it. at Disney World. And it says on the side of it, don't plug up your rocket pack with it. You'll die.
Starting point is 00:20:41 You'll die if you're Timothy Dalton. You'll die. You're Timothy Dalton. You'll die. Says it on the pack? Yeah, but that's wrong because he'll never die. You can't.
Starting point is 00:20:51 Box office, on a budget of $190 million. That's not insane. It's not cheap. John Carter was like 300. Yeah. This made 209. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Yeah. But Brad Bird was like, you know what? I made exactly the movie that I wanted to make. And I think that is true. This doesn't feel tampered with or like watered down or like they changed a bunch of stuff in reshoes. It feels whole. Yeah. So, you know, there is that. Yeah. If only anyone had seen it. They'd be like, this is a whole movie. They'd say this is a whole ass movie. You know? They would say that. It's a shame. I'm not even watching it. I'm on my phone. But I guess that brings me to him. We've asked this every week. Do you think this movie was a giant waste of time
Starting point is 00:21:35 money. Yes. Yeah, probably. Yeah. I mean, I do respect the singular vision of it. Yeah. And I like Brad Bird as a director. But I think almost everyone who watches this movie goes, huh.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Mm. All right. What? But who's it for, though? Yeah. Not me, the person who took the time to watch this. Yeah. Did you like it?
Starting point is 00:21:55 I kind of did. Would you recommend it? Hard to say. Yeah. I'm going to recommend it to you, but you're going to go, huh. In a way, it's a kind of woke. mind virus, James. Well, is it?
