disney doesn't feel the same 

so real

Now that is a valid opinion. Anyone who disagrees is a simpering simpleton.

And they had microscopic budgets!

THIS! Couldn’t agree more!

second peak came back at the lego movie

For real. Same goes for The Creator, which only cost $80 million and had much better vfx than most of those $200 million sci-fi blockbusters today

Well, we did find out that the Spiderverse animators were overworked and underpaid to an incredibly unhealthy extent, but I doubt Disney treated their team any better so...yeah

​@@angrynerdgirlMAYBE they treated them well maybe

​@@Simbala-bq5vylol they didn't, tons of artists on twitter said they had to miss time with their family and holidays to complete deadlines.

@@krunchykat9249 I said maybe 2 Times I didn't said they did IsbI say maybe 2 Times it's unlikely

Yeah, I know 3D can look beautiful. But I’ll always have a soft spot for 2D animation.

Yeah I miss 2D

3D can be good, it's just Disney plays it so safe to the point where everything looks the same. People are tired of the same thing over and over, and the box office has been reflecting that lately.

@marshalmarrs3269wdym?

I agree, every single movie since like frozen has looked the exact same. Same colors same style same 3D animation that I’m so aware is 3D that it’s jarring

i really appreciate your pfp thankyou for making my day better with goats🙇‍♂🙇‍♂🙇‍♂🙇‍♂🐐

Honesty I’m expecting inside out two to end up like the incredibles two. It will do gang busters at the cost of continuity and actually story telling. I hope things get better but my expectations are quite low sadly.

disney needs to start taking risks. Im tired of "quirky relatable not-like-other-girls girl with her animal side kick goes on an adventure to stop an evil villain everyone thinks is a good person" like please try something else, i can name at least 2 movies that fit that description

this is exactly how i feel about disney as of late. i wish they weren’t so afraid of taking risks, i think it could potentially work for them if they did but idk when that will happen bc everything disney seems to greenlight these days feels so creatively bankrupt :(

They pushed out all of their quality talent b/c of diversity Equity and inclusion initiatives. Disney will not get back to quality entertainment until there is a stock takeover and the board and Iger are replaced…This is a tall order with BlackRock is the largest shareholder… Pretty funny democrats use to call out BlackRock as an evil billionaire private equity group. Now that they are playing ball with the leftest we hear nothing bad about them. So sad

Not spiderverse?

@@HannHio-kv1ky Oh yeah that too. I knew I was forgetting one lmao...

yeah but all those movies have big fanbases and that is what filled those theaters, original movies or lesser know movies usually arent as popular, i went to the cinema i think a year ago. and there where hardly any people there. it depends on the countr or city and on the movies, all your examples dont really work in my opinion

@@justarandomchick767 Absolutely no one was a puss in boots fan, the first movie is literally never talked about even now. People went to see the last wish because it was good.

@@amazingspiderlad the major part of that was the shrek fanbase and then after where the people that heard about it from them. It would suprise you how many people adore shrek and watched puss in boots 2 for that reason. And your completely skipping over my argument. Even not counting puss in boots 2 all the others you mentioned still have a huge fanbase supporting them

The main difference here though is that The black cauldron and a lot of the 2000s disney movies were actually good. They didn't do well financially but audiences still love them to this day.

@@amazingspiderlad meh. I feel like Wish and Strange Worlds are gonna inhabit the same boat as Black Cauldron or Treasure Planet or Chicken Little where people in the future are gonna go "These movies were good actually." or "they were so underrated" or "People just didn't understand them at the time"

​@@amazingspiderladThe Black Cauldron is not good. Not in the slightest.

​@@whatalsaidTreasure Planet IS good, the only one between the ones you mentioned

The Black Caldron was a great movie, it still makes me sad that people didn't like it.

The queen could’ve feigned allyship with the good side in order to feed info to the king on the bad side and eventually betray the good side and I would’ve ate that shit right up

And the star was originally a mute guy who used sign language to communicate with Asha and I think there was like this love story too

@@Scarylyn14 The problem is that 2d films were not during well at the 2000's. Princess and the Frog underperforming was the final straw.

@@orangeslash1667 Big studios take the wrong lesson when their movies flop. Oh, this movie was 2D? Must be why people didn't want to see it versus maybe the movie just didn't seem interesting. It's like how when Catwoman and Elektra bombed the lesson studios took from that was 'oh people don't want to see action movies about women.' Instead of realizing both films were crap.

@@CartoonHangout The problem was that Princess and the Frog was released just before Avatar.

@Dora-xi5ob dude it's an opinion, and one outlier doesn't disprove my point

I’d argue the start started when they released the good dinosaur. That was their first sin of mediocre story telling.

​@@DrawinskyMoonbut the good dinosaur is made by Pixar and not Disney

​@@Mr.Feather130Disney owns Pixar

Why do you think only sad, single Disney adults roam the parks these days LMAO

@@chomosuke0720why is it a problem if single childless people want to enjoy themselves? Unless you’re referring to weird, rabid fans who shower once every thousand years of course then I understand

Neither of those movies are original. Oppenheimer is based off the historical account of making the first nuclear bomb. It’s literally a biopic and Barbie is based of a children’s toy that Mattel created in the 1950s that has had dozens of films and tv adaptations since its release

Are you forgetting Encanto? That was original and smart

@@savannahinparis I know that there not wholly original ideas and are based on things but its more the fact that it was seen as exciting and new. The Barbie movie was such a big hit because it was seen as exciting and it was actually a good movie, people no longer want to see franchises or formulaic films in my perspective as the majority of tropes have been worn out as the movie business becomes more crowded. However the point still stands tat they are wildly more successful because they were less formulaic and broke the mold slightly even if they are not wholly original. Aswell as this if you think about the majority of films they will always be based on a concept or an idea, Barbie and oppenheimer were just more literal concepts but that does not stop them necessarily from being original, For example Toy Story is based on the concept of what would happen if Toys were alive. Gladiator is based upon the concept of the ancient greek gladiators. In my opinion it is all relevant. Thoughts?

@@Dora-xi5ob Thats a good point, its jist in my opinion overall the quality has really dropped, Encanto was released 3 years ago and in my opinion was their last good film. It still however failed at the box office because they released it onto Disney plus, actually Disney plus has meant a lot of loss for Disney in cinemas but I digress.

Writers don’t have full control over the scripts of the movies they work on. You’re ignoring the influence and restraints of the higher-ups at Disney, whose goal will always be making a movie as profitable as possible. Insulting the intelligence of writers is childish, and ignorant.

​@@ChoRenmodern writers aren't worth minimum wage.

@@Dora-xi5ob2 years-that’s insane it did not feel that long ago

This isn't the same studio because they FIRED them all.

@@jennah5990 it’s probably because a lot of people didn’t watch it until it came out on Disney Plus in December, so it was most popular for the first couple of months of 2022

Very true. Disney fires there actually good staff and keeps the crap.@@maravreloaded

Encanto is good for all ages

i agree so much! my parents enjoyed watching zack and cody, hannah montana, and wizards with me because they were actually funny and entertaining. todays kids shows are absolutely terrible

Yeah. I'm honestly really getting sick of Marvel, honestly. Way over done.

Have you seen Puss in Boots: the Last Wish? Also recommend that, especially over Disney's Wish. (Man DreamWorks really scooped Disney there, one-upping them at the "wishing star" prompt against Disney's own attempt at a 100 year celebration film. The Shrek series in general made fun of Disney, but this isn't parody; with Puss in Boots they've now literally outshown Disney's star).

all of those plus spiderverse and the last wish for me. all of these have such enjoyable styles and good stories, it really cant be that hard to make something original, fun, and captivating

I'd also like to point out that Disney canned Nimona after they bought out Fox. They didn't want to release it bc it had gay people haha. The movie only happened because Netflix picked it up and thank God they did because it was so good.

Did you forget how people were going crazy over Encanto

@@AlashiaTuol Did you forget how people were going crazy over Encanto

Encanto?

Encanto was risky. It was a super different kind of story structure, that a lot of people ended up really liking

Same, those two really spoke to me. Everything post Princess and the Frog has felt really samey with the quirky girl and the story being a big fetch quest and the romance having far less emphasis. It feels made by committee rather than a heartfelt story. With Encanto it just worked because it was a unique family story and Luca being parallel to a coming of age movie made it special.

@@Nightman221kMirabel doesn’t strike me as quirky. And Rapunzel, Moana, and Anna are all likable and are their own characters despite sharing similar personalities

I know this is Pixar but it's under Disney so whatever. Elemental had romance in it and the movie barely managed to swing a profit after a horrible opening week. Granted Elemental isn't a bad film, but Disney Romance definitely is not enough to bring people back to theaters

I don't think romance is the problem. Personally I think romances are boring. What the Disney animated movies need are a good plot and villain. Generational trauma just doesn't cut it. I wish they would cut back to one animated movie a year at most. Quality over quantity would be the best solution.

Nah, romances are just boring

Yes!! 👏 👏 👏 👏

Not every story needs romance, why does everyone have to force that?

Absolutely while I have no interest in seeing WISH I echo this sentiment for Chicken Little as they’d gotten way too much credit for Toy Story’s existence (which I understand was for contractual reasons at the time) but nonetheless they practically invented something as trivial as a sticky note flip book animation not to mention Snow White came out during the Great Depression so they had no reason for Chicken Little to look the way it did especially not at the turn of the century

I admit ELEMENTAL was not actually as bad as I thought it would have been but I genuinely liked SOUL & LUCA although they’re all a bit flawed in their own way.

@@theanimationcritictaylorri1264yes!! When I saw the trailer for Elemental I was suuuuper skeptical as it looked really generic, but it truly surprised me when I watched it with what a genuine and inspiring story it is :)

@@elive19 I will give ELEMENTAL a massive bonus for attention to detail when came to elements meshing with other elements such as smoke when flooding to the coal shop and she panics and has to fire herself again that’s more the attention to detail that I appreciate it sounds like WISH didn’t even have the decency to do that? How rough was it when you saw it? Although there was one major flaw with ELEMENTAL which is that when it came to the prejudice aligory it was as subtle as a 1Ton Anvil falling from the sky which is to say NOT SUBTLE IN THE SLIGHTEST.

@@theanimationcritictaylorri1264yeah just Elemental’s attention to detail is insane and it completely deserves and and all positive feedback :) As for Wish, I haven’t actually seen it yet!! I work at a movie theatre (so I got to watch Elemental a bit more than most lol) but we only just got Wish obv, and even tho i have people id like to go with to see it, im waiting a few weeks til i can see it for free bc employee perk yahoo. Anyhow, yeah from what I’ve seen of it doing checks in the theatre and from people talking abt it online, im not exactly pumped to see it?? Like i will bc free movie and also i judged elemental just as harshly beforehand, but still.

Elio's been delayed to 2025 so the next is Inside Out 2.

@@Dora-xi5ob Encanto is a pretty film. I love the madrigal We Don’t Talk About Bruno, that was wholly unexpected. Yet, the film was lacking depth in places. It was a very surface movie making it very easy to know what was going on. Studio Ghibli movies make you work to understand the many layers of storytelling. And the art work is 2D greatness.

Me too!

@@CourageousDreamerAllon4journey Encanto was risky. It was a super different kind of story structure, that a lot of people ended up really liking

Live action vs Live action remakes. The OG Mary Poppins was an original story and a hit. The live action remakes are all cash grabs banking on the nostalgia for the old IPs

Disney made a lot of good live action movies. Now all of their live actions are just remakes

ducks can eat oats though if im not mistaken so you can just bring oats to a park instead!! also i think they like peas and sweetcorn too so theres still plenty of things you an feed the ducks :D

They also enjoy grapes too

Ducks love peas! Get some frozen peas from the supermarket and give those ducks a nice summertime snack

@@bethanyflores8248another tip for the grapes go to the lemonade stand.

Wasn’t everyone going crazy over Encanto

I don’t think it’s a great movie but it’s definitely way too overhated

@@gatewoodanimations9753Nah that movie made me wanna jump into a volcano of molten piss

Also my family recently visited Disney and it wasn’t as I remember as a kid, we were tired most of the time and hated walking and standing in lines even with the fast pass there was still a long line. Animal kingdom wasn’t fun at all. Neither was Hollywood studies accept for the fireworks. And the only decent park was magic kingdom. The food was decent, and there were a few super fun moments. Disney movies have gone down hill a lot too and I think they forgot how to write good storylines and movies. They need better writers and directors.

@@TheFandomGirlCreations I went to Disney World with my family for New Years in 2019 and Magic Kingdom was an absolute nightmare, just way too many people. I found the other parks more enjoyable because I had room to walk and the wait times were pretty reasonable

@@lordtickledck7012 I understand that. While magic kingdom was fun for me I get your point it was a lot of walking lines and standing in the sun and because of the fact it’s like a main park it was very crowded. Hollywood studios and Animal kingdom I can agree were very open and had a lot more space to walk like you said. But I still felt very tired there but that’s because it was day 3 of straight up parks and 2 weeks of vacation before that.. expo was another one I went to and it was super fun with rides but it was very tiring to walk around all the time to get to places. The only thing keeping the trip from being the worst was that we had night passes and fast lanes that let us skip the lines and be there after hours so there were less people. But they were so expensive too and we ate there 3 times as well it was WAY to expensive and I think they should cut down on over pricing there stuff. I can’t even imagine what it would be like to get a hotel there as well. Just way to much. Still really fun and there rides and social events were good but they need to make things cheaper and find a way to make lines a lot less longer because I’m sure people have died there due to heatstroke, walking to much, dehydration, and heart attacks…

@@dougbriglmen716it’s funny because everything they say about Disney remakes is their live action remakes, completely forgetting the animated side of things like Encanto, Soul, Luca, and even Turning Red

I'm glad you brought that up because whenever a movie bombs at the box office, they will have the knee-jerk response: "BUT...BUT...IT MADE 600 MILLION DOLLARS!" They assume that studios just keep all the money to themselves. Not knowing that some of the money goes to the theaters. It might be alot of money to us regular folks, but it is not much to a Hollywood studio.

Agreed

Tangled? Wreck It Ralph? Moana? ENCANTO??

​@@Dora-xi5obYep

Tangled, Wreck it Ralph, Moana, and especially Encanto are all great

Encanto was risky. It was a super different kind of story structure, that a lot of people ended up really liking

I think it’s because hand drawn animation is supposedly expensive and too time consuming. I agree, I miss the days when Disney produced wonderful films. Now everything feels disgusting. Take Enchanto, they could have had a wonderful message about not needing to have powers in order to be loved or special but no they had to give the entire family back their abilities. Also the live action movies really suck. Except for Cinderella. Apparently it really fleshes out the stories of Cinderella and her prince.

they literally threw out the hand-drawing tools they used during the rennaisance.

@@Dora-xi5ob Disney Animation should still be held to a higher standard. You Think?! They’ve been making animated films since The Great Depression. 😒🙄🙄😒😒

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@theanimationcritictaylorri1264you are right, but I haven’t lost hope in the animation side things, since they’ve only made 2 movies since Encanto

The animation was probably re-rendered with a fake 2D style after the fact once Disney saw how well those Spidey animated movies did.

spiderverse also treated their staff like shit so while im sure Disney wasn't perfect in that department i could see it being a factor

Apparently the team working on Wish suffered major layoffs in early 2023. Which uh... might have been why the animation looks so wonky. And the fact that it was released at the end of this year makes me think Disney forced the animators to push the movie out by the end of the year to be on time for the 100 year celebration despite the layoffs.

@@catapultato1733 Oh I know and they should rightfully be shamed for how they treated their staff. But that's not the point I'm making. The point I'm making is that the effort put into that movie from every aspect can be felt in every shot. Whereas with Wish they're trying to buy the effort rather than do it.

@@cartoonishidealism582 They're such fucking hypocrites. You can't just toss $200 million at a movie, lay everyone off and expect to get away with it.

Wasnt everyone going crazy over Encanto

I completely agree! Luca was so well done and the story was so good, meanwhile, in Encanto the plot development felt suuuuper rushed, especially the “growth” in family member relationships, and the message felt obvious and forced.
