In production?

User:Tim Week recently edited this article to say the film is in production. That doesn't sound right. Anyone who's followed the behind-the-scenes news coverage on Disney Animation's last ten or eleven films (as well as the blog by the now-retired business rep for the local animation union) would know that one of the things they've picked up from Pixar since 2006 is a brutally short production phase (relative to traditionally animated films). It's very similar to the "crunch time" period seen in tech and video games. And for Frozen II, that phase is right now. News coverage of Disney Animation's presentation at Annecy implies they're still busy finishing Frozen II for release this fall. At some point they will start reassigning animators to work on Raya and the Last Dragon, but it would be unlikely for that to occur this early before the release date for Frozen II. --Coolcaesar (talk) 12:32, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Footage of the film was shown at D23 so clearly they are in production. - Brojam (talk) 14:22, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

I didn't make it to D23 Expo this year. Too busy with class actions.

I was going to say footage, what footage? Then I searched for news coverage specifically mentioning footage at D23 and realized you're correct. It sounds like those clips are more detailed than basic screen tests, so I guess it would be technically correct to characterize the film as already in production. They're probably working with a skeleton crew, though (i.e., only with the future supervising animators and the visdev team) until the majority of the crew can transition over from Frozen II.--Coolcaesar (talk) 14:51, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

This film is based on Dragon Ball franchise by Akira Toriyama.

Disney+ original film

Why the film will not to be released by streaming on Disney+ instead of Theatrical release? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.222.83.87 (talk) 03:50, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

What does "binturi" mean ?

Often the character's in the film call each other as binturi, what does it mean, is it from a real language or made up for the film. Fang clan's self-serving agenda is not included in the plot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:3D08:B285:8900:982E:83C5:12A6:373A (talk) 05:01, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Criticized by whom?

§ Controversy says "The film was criticized [...]". This needs a {{By whom}}. Is it the source, a website Whattowatch.com, who came up with this; if so, that doesn't seem very reliable or notable. (I can't be bothered to check, to be honest. Whoever decided to add to Wikipedia that the film is being criticized should tell the reader by whom.) --143.176.30.65 (talk) 20:40, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: Thank you for your edit request. I have reviewed the section in question and it is clear that it is the source (Whattowatch.com) referenced that has raised the criticism. If you don't think that it is reliable or notable, please feel free to re-open this request explaining why, however given the source I don't think a {{By whom}} tag is warranted. But again, if you disagree, or want to add/change anything else please just re-open the request. Thanks, J850NK (talk) 22:22, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for looking into it. Then it should say "was criticized by Whattowatch.com". Either way, I don't see how criticism from a random website, Whattowatch.com, is notable in any way. Sounds more like clickbait to me, then. New edit request therefore: remove the entire Controversy section; move the last two sentences (starting with "Most of the cast [...]") to the "Voice cast" section. --143.176.30.65 (talk) 12:23, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

The other sources, specifically CNN and NBC News also support the criticism statement and are quite reliable. Although this seems to be yet another "News sources reporting on a small group of people complaining on Twitter" situation, I'd say you'll probably need to get consensus to remove or rephrase before re-opening the edit request. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:31, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

No other sources are used for the claim, just Whattowatch.com. You now say additional, more reliable sources, exist. Why didn't you add them before closing this edit request? --143.176.30.65 (talk) 18:12, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Look at the end of the next sentence. There are four sources there, two of them are high quality. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:14, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

I see; thanks. Maybe add them to the first sentence as named refs? Or maybe Whattowatch.com by itself is considered more reliable on Wikipedia than it sounds/looks to me on first glance? Hm, maybe it could use its own Wikipedia article then, I don't think it currently has one. --143.176.30.65 (talk) 18:20, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

I think then we'll run into a case of over-citing. I'm assuming that the whattowatch link is used on the first sentence because that article specifically calls out the Asian representation, as opposed to some of the others that are just talking about the twitter complaints. I don't know though, I'm only here because I saw your edit request. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:22, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Songs

There's no songs in the film. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2804:14C:598B:8696:B172:7B6F:9413:5247 (talk) 18:31, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
