Thanks for doing this reaction, Kyle and Jessica. I’m curious to know what ramifications you think could come out of this film’s potential success at the global box office. Could recent reports, from Skyler Shuler of The DisInsider, of the #Tiana series being turned into #ThePrincessAndTheFrog 2 for the movie theaters if #Moana2 does boffo numbers at the global box office be true? Because if they are, I hope to see that story get enough money and resources to make it Disney’s return to 2D/hand-drawn animation on the big screen. We’ll have to wait & see.
