You heard of that film Alien?

That might have been the business 5 or maybe 10 years ago but when people hear a movie is bad, it's going to fail. (Michael Bay notwithstanding)

This is a personal preference, but I would love it if a live action Zelda had the feel of "Legend", "The Labyrinth", "Dark Crystal", and all those old fantasy films. Their painted backgrounds and soundtracks gave off such a surreal, otherworldly feel to them.

Didn't Nintendo already make their own movie and movie studio? Not an IP movie, but prior to/around the time of the Pikmin Shorts I remember reading about Nintendo starting up it's own film division with 2-3 films in production. I didn't hear about it again for years until I saw that it was apparently a movie about fairies they distributed in Japan but never made it out of the country, and nothing else seemed to come from it.
Am I losing my mind?

I still wish for Ghibli to make a Zelda movie. It would be great.

A Disaster: Day of Crisis movie would actually be cool though, especially if gigantic burgers and dumb frog costumes were included in the film.

Wonder if they're referring to the Pokemon live-action movie, though that's looking to be a case of TPC selling the rights to an existing studio.
If this is a 100% in-house production, I have low expectations.

They seem rather burned out. And Cartoon Saloon fits better.
They are looking for a partner, so no.

Well no shit, I didn't mean it's literally a Zelda film but it's how I'd expect a Zelda movie done right to feel like because it's clear that some people believe Nintendo IP to be impossible to adapt into film, when it's clearly not the case. From the music to the feel of the film both thematically and aesthetically it's what I envision a genuine atempt at a Zelda animated film to be like in the best case scenario.
Some people, I tell ya, just what to shoot you down at any chance they get T_T
The focus on scores has been awful to be honest. Hook was blasted hard by critics and has like a 36 on Rotten Tomato but it was loved by the audience and still has a following even now. There are at times where a movie is not made for the critics but a specific audience or fans.

Legend with more action scenes is what I want a Legend of Zelda movie to be like.

Here's hoping they follow the quality and emotional sincerity of Disney's CG titles rather than the cringe-y, self-aware, record-scratch joke style of the lesser family CG movies out there.
I voted for Stunt Race FX.
I'd never have said a theme park ride would have made a good movie, but the first Pirates was pretty damn good.
It's all in the script and the imagination.
I'm a big fan of Hook despite its obvious flaws, but that film coasted financially if not critically on the significant pedigree of the source material, cast, and its director despite a shitload of cinemagoers at the time saying it wasn't that great. I remember it being one of the least talked about films that year despite it being one of the biggest. Apparently Sony didn't make out too well on it either because they publicised the hell out of it and much of the merchandising fell flat.
Some of it is truly brilliant. Despite some lame-looking sets, a far too American collection of Lost Boys, and a Robin Williams who despite trying his damndest just can't capture eternal youth as Peter Pan should (in some alternate reality there's a version of Hook where Spielberg discovered Tom Hanks way earlier and it's almost perfect), the movie shines with Spielberg and Williams on top form. And Hoffman's casting is straight up genius.

It's big because its full of secrets.
It's a NeoGAF poll.
Well, it begins. This could either be a dream come true, or a nightmare. If I have to guess, I think they'll start with a Mario movie, CG animated. Not as high risk as Zelda, and it could be a good chance to shake off the stigma of that one Mario movie and prove themselves. However Nintendo is an unpredictable beast. We will see which way it goes. I just don't want to see a Zelda movie any time soon. If they have any plans for it, they'd better treat it with the care it deserves and damn well make sure it's perfect.

Deadpool outgrossed Batman v Superman domestically practically by the good word of mouth of the former and bad word of mouth by the latter. Don't underestimate it.
Also by Steven Spielberg standards, Hook is probably one of his weaker movies.

Is there a prominent female role in the game?

At least you can talk. Who are you?
I don't. I'm just saying that sometimes it can be different. Sometimes a movie can have bad reviews but good word of mouth because it's speaking to a specific audience. Sometimes it can be like BvS bad reviews and bad word of mouth.
Also, I really loved Hook :<
I'm surprised by the requests to see a Zelda film similar to something like Legend and The Labyrinth, both places my mind would have never went towards but both sound cool and interesting which is why I brought up Nausicaa in the first place, because it's clear that everyone has different ideas in-regards to how these films should be adapted and what they should look and feel like aesthetically and thematically. Animated like a Ghibli film, live action in the vein of the films mentioned above and even the ideas of puppetry has entered my mind as well as a mix of all three (animated and surreal for example).

That's fine, but I'm talking about audience reaction than critical reviews. Although critical and general audience taste tend to line up far more often than not.
Agreed. The Pikmin shorts were really impressive.
Hey, Angry Birds is about to light up the box office and has been getting solid reviews.
Hotel Dusk belongs to Nintendo, doesn't it? That's a movie right there.
My first reaction was that of course it's going to be a Mario movie, but if they wanted to keep Charles Martinet and co. as the voices for all the characters, that IP might not be best suited for film.
Animal Crossing also came to mind, but they already did that. I'm sure they could do more with it, but would they would still have to retread some things from the film, so I'm not so sure they'd be very interested in that.
So, Splatoon? It's pretty big currently. I guess Pokémon movie not based on the existing anime series might be an option too, but I highly doubt it. Pikmin might also be interesting, but I don't think it's that popular.

or Batman v Superman. Bad word of mouth, disappointing critic reviews, still made 860 million dollars.

Batman v Superman is considered a failure to Warner Bros. though.
An animated DK movie could be legit awesome, ngl. The crew get split up and Diddy and Dixie swing through the jungle to find DK and meet a bunch of assholes along the way that they have to beat the shit out of. Some jungle book style singing along the way and you've got a heartwarming family film on your hands about family and bananas or some shit.

Big Hero Six reminded me of TW101 in many ways, but not as good.
And I LOVE Big Hero Six.
Ah, what could have been.

They released a movie 2 years ago. Fatal Frame.
