Not letting Ron Clements and John Musker direct The Black Cauldron instead of having too many directors. The movie could have been better [and this comes from someone who loves the movie] and might have been as beloved as Disney Renaissance movies. Taran is an underrated and over hated main character. Hey MsMojo, if you ever do another Underrated Disney Characters list, please put Taran high up the list, maybe #2 or #1.
Honorable mentions: Disney Channel cancels The Owl House because it did not fit with Disney's brand. The closure of Blue Sky Studios following Disney's purchase of most of the film and television assets through 21st Century Fox. The box office failure of Mars Need Moms. The troubled development of The Black Cauldron.
I’d like to point out most, if not all, of Disney’s live action movies, especially the Lion King (I’m surprised they didn’t even get an honorable mention)
Here’s an example no one’s brought up: cancelling Lizzie McGuire for no reason twice! 1st was the now dead 65 episode rule and 2nd was canceling the revival for being too adult for Disney+. And then deciding to start a parental block option for its’ adult content! What the fuck!?!
ya how dare they have a way to block adult content so a kid can't watch it and episode 2 starts out with lizzy waking up after having sex so I get why they canned it
Granted the first one is understandable it was common to have that rule to prevent shows from overstaying their welcome, but the second time is definitely one has the right to be angry about.
Out of US Hulu is called Star and it's integrated into Disney+. Until June 26, 2024 Star+ existed in Latin America as an "ADULT VERSION" of Disney+, but now these services are fused into the new Disney+ Latin America.
Not every Direct-To-Video Disney sequel was bad. King of Thieves, Lion King 2, Lion King 1 1/2, the Stitch movies and Enchanted Christmas were really good, imo
Casting Johnny Depp as a Native American was a terrible idea. I don't care how talented he is or if he has Native American ancestry, that role should have been given to a Native American actor.
@@trinaqYou meant to say as. But I agree with you, I remember people were fan-casting for a live-action Pocahontas movie and people were casting Vanessa Hudgens and Naya Rivera(RIP). It’s worth noting that both women aren't Native American with Vanessa being white and Filipina and Naya being Puerto Rican, black, and white.
I hate Disney because they completely shut down BLUE SKY STUDIO, the same company that brought us Ice Age, Robots, The Peanuts Movie and so many others, luckily we are glad that Nimona honored our once favorite animation company.
Removing the original Journey In to Imagination was also a big mistake Disney did. I could go on about their mistakes with their parks. On a different note, I'd like to see MsMojo talk about obscure mascots [including Orange Bird and Fud Wrapper from Disneyworld] such as the 1970s version of Jack from Jack In The Box [there's a Jack In The Box Wiki and a few 1970s animated ads on YT], Gilbert Giddyup from Hardee's, and Jeff from Burger Chef Restaurants. And if there's ever another video on hated kids show characters, PLEASE include Maxi from Roary The Racing Car, especially his actions in Braking Promises!
One of Disney's BIGGEST mistakes was making Peter Pan the villain of the Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers movie, considering the tragic fate of Peter Pan's original voice actor. And using the original book and the common joke of Peter Pan growing up aren't excuses, I'm very sure Disney knew what they were doing.
I took it as the writers throwing shade at Disney for how they treated him before his tragic death. It's not uncommon for the writers of a Disney project to shade Disney. Les we forget that Owl House joke after they cancelled the show.
ya because Disney should watch over there actors for the whole life the kid had a zit problem and that's why the canned him it not like they handed him a needle and said here you go
To be quite fair, there *_were_* some good direct-to-video sequels, including Lion King 2 (which arguably had some rather on-the-level musical numbers).
@@jsmith3946 Money doesn't reflect quality. Good reviews? You mean like Mulan, which the critics said "improved on the original" even though the audience hated it? Yeah, what masterpieces...
@@vetarlittorf1807 never said it did just saying that they are a compay and the whole point of being one is to make money which it did so it didn't fail and shouldn't be on this list
@@jsmith3946 The direct-to-video sequels also made a lot of money. The only reason they were discontinued is because John Lasseter didn't like them. But like the remakes, they made a lot of money. So what's your point? Besides, the only live action remake that truly managed to be profitable was The Lion King remake. While the others didn't flop, most of them failed to break even.
@@vetarlittorf1807 no true little mermaid mad 600 million on a 200 million budget and my point is if something makes a company profit then it was good because that was the point of the thing in the first place
No 5️⃣ Yeah, most of these home video sequels did kinda ruin the legacy of the original predecessors way long before their live-action remakes would and did first
It's a shame they never released the Briar Rabbit segments of Song of the South as their own small animated short. I'm pretty sure that would've done fine and, as someone who never saw Song of the South because I don't think even my parents were alive at the time, I'd have at least liked to see the animated segments
If you really want to see the movie, you can sometimes find a copy of it on the Internet. I did. And then I found a backup copy accidentally in a thrift store. It’s out there. And it’s worth it. In my opinion, of course.
I got another one: Lightyear. Did Disney forget about Buzz Lightyear of Star Command? I find BLOSC to be more believable as the thing which inspired Andy to want a Buzz Lightyear action figure. The fact that both the series and The Adventure Begins pilot movie have the Toy Story characters watching it as a framing device largely supports this.
I think releasing On Stranger Tides was dropping the ball because it effectively killed the franchise and is the sole reason those movies aren't considered one of the greatest trilogies ever.
@@LucyLioness100 Tell me about it. At least Dead Men Tell No Tales had great scenes, especially the ending. Other than that, should've stayed a trilogy especially with how the last one broke the lore.
There was also the Lizzie McGuire reboot fail when Disney canceled it due to not being able to agree on which platform to stream it. I'm still salty about that.
These past several years have been rough in the movie side of things. I think Disney cares too much of its own brand. Add to that, spreading its own franchises, thinning them. Ironically, this led Disney's brand became synonymous with being "generic" or even "cheap". They won big this year, however, with 'Inside Out 2' and apparently 'Deadpool & Wolverine'. But until proven otherwise, they are exceptions.
Here's a minor thing you missed: Mickey's Kitchen. Disney's attempt at a fast food restaurant! There were only two of them methinks, one in California and one in Schaumburg, Illinois, where I worked next door at the Disney Store. It was a cute concept but sadly Disney couldn't serve a hot meal to save their lives - everything was rather lukewarm. Also they tried to be healthy years before people wanted healthy. And some of their meals were just too bizarre. They had a PBJ Rollup - peanut butter and jelly on a pancake rolled up - that was just too weird. (Actually I found it very tasty!) After about three months Disney decided to shut down Mickey's Kitchen and forget about the whole thing.
Some of Disney sequels weren’t that bad. I enjoyed Lion King II, Little Mermaid Return to the Sea, and Beauty & The Beast The Enchanted Christmas. I think they would have done better as theatrical releases but that’s just me
5. Those DTV sequels were a total gamble when it came to quality. Sometimes we got something good, sometimes we got something mediocre, and sometimes we got something bad. And sadly, mediocre and bad tended to be more common than good. Because for every solid one like Aladdin: King of Thieves, An Extremely Goofy Movie, and both Lion King Sequels, there were several stinkers like Mulan 2, Belle's Magical World, and Hunchback of Notre Dame 2. D.M.1: I saw Coco in theaters and it didn't play this short in the theater of my choosing.
I’m fed up before these negative list . you know like at least the positives are there making A positive return to cinema after a disappointing year last year . now with Deadpool and wolverine and inside out 2 becoming the number one highest grossing an animated film of all time
I went on the original Splash Mountain. That's sad they revamped it. I swear there's so many nowadays complainin' about history and how things used to be... they just got to ruin old art for everyone. Got to be "politically correct" all the time... ugh.
From a theme parks perspective, I remember Alien Encounter in Tomorrowland at Walt Disney World was a bust. I enjoyed it but it was really intense. It was so scary that the closed it quickly to tone it down, and then it eventually became Stitch's Great Escape.
The thing that really ticked me off was that the focus of the objections was that it was destroying a battlefield. When Disney backed off all the history people were like -yay! we won! The battlefield is saved? So what happened? It's now a housing development. The battlefield and that's a pretty generous description of exactly where it was, still got destroyed.
What about Home Sweet Home Alone? That movie was absolutely, as fun as waking up on Christmas morning and getting nothing but coal. Also, you forgot to mention the getting sued by Scarlette Johansson
SONG OF THE SOUTH wasn't so bad for Hollywood in 1946 (and for some considerable time after), though James Baskett should have been in the running for a regular Oscar rather than the 'special' one he received. How about POCAHONTAS? - though it's still customary to get history wrong and prettifed; re. storytelling, you should mention THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME and it messed up the disability theme, reversing the 'earthenware and crystal' message of the novel, for bland romanticism and a happy ending.
Unpopular opinion: I still very much enjoyed The Lone Ranger (2013). I found that another aspect of people/critics disliking the movie is that it was too violent and gross with the vomiting. . . . Wtf? Disney has released multiple upon multiple movies in the past where they either implied death or actually showing a dead body. And vomiting is a common occurrence. It’s a bodily function. And it’s the west. It doesn’t matter if it’s Disney.
I like it too, but I think critics found it a mess rather than finding the violence as the problem. One thing I do dislike of it is Johnny Depp as Tonto.
@@peterfrank3365 Yeah. I will say it was questionable as to why Depp took on the roll of Tonto. Was he asked to play Tonto? Were there any moments in the movie where you found him funny? One moment I remember is when he and John were chained and both took down a bad guy.
I personally believe that "Song of the south" is a totally misunderstood film. I watched the movie dozens of times, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Instead of talking about its accomplishments such as the music, animation and the very first Oscar to a black actor (Walt fought hard so that James Baskett could be given the award), people criticise it for all the wrong reasons. The real sad part was that this movie was made with nothing but good intentions. Were people expecting a "12 years a slave"? Impossible! This is a Disney family movie. It's been branded as a controversial movie for absolutelynoreason. This isn't "the Birth of a Nation (1915)". This is a clear case of when people hear something enough times, they eventually believe it. I think we have to re-evaluate "Song of the South" ☹️
I completely agree with you. It’s actually a beautiful film of a young boy finding a father figure in a wise old black man. Hattie McDaniel was asked if she felt the film was racist and she said no. She never would’ve agreed to do the role if it was. And let’s not forget she was the first black woman to win an Oscar. Her hard work on the film, as well as Baskett’s, have now been erased by people who are easily offended. And have likely never even seen the movie.
I too have seen it and own a copy of it on dvd. Dated maybe but not as racist as they’d like you to believe. Well except maybe that tar baby scene 😆😂 being a Disney family friendly movie it was never going to be a true representation of what life was really like back then in the south. If one wants truth read history books and watch documentaries. Song of the South does have some problems but it is still a nice movie. Make a study of it and learn from the mistakes of our past
@@LadyKC67 Hattie McDaniel indeed won the Oscar, yet she wasn’t even allowed to be inside 😂the venue where the Oscar Awards were being held that year, because of the strict ‘whites only’-policy of the hotel! And WHEN they finally made an exception for her (ONLY because the producer of ‘Gone With The Wind’, David Selznick called in a favor the hotel management owed him!!)…. …she was NOT allowed to sit at the table where everyone else from ‘Gone With The Wind’ was sitting…!! Instead she was forced to sit all the way in the back, at a little table against the wall… …far away from the rest of the audience, accompanied by only her escort and her agent, SEGREGATED from the people she had worked with while filming the movie… And when it was announced that she had indeed WON THE OSCAR and she made her way to the stage to accept her award and give her speech, many disapproving voices were heard throughout all of the audience….!!! So YES, she did win the Oscar and YES, she was the first black woman to do so…. ….but there were MANY things VERY, VERY WRONG with this moment!! Part from an online article about this moment in time: “The 12th Academy Awards were held at the famed Cocoanut Grove nightclub in The Ambassador Hotel. McDaniel arrived in a rhinestone-studded turquoise gown with white gardenias in her hair. McDaniel then was escorted, not to the Gone With the Wind table - where Selznick sat with de Havilland and his two Oscar-nominated leads, Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable - but to a small table set against a far wall, where she took a seat with her escort, F.P. Yober, and her white agent, William Meiklejohn. With the hotel’s strict no-blacks policy, Selznick had to call in a special favor just to have McDaniel allowed into the building (it was officially integrated by 1959, when the Unruh Civil Rights Act outlawed racial discrimination in California).” Source: Hollywoodreporter website, also to be found in many, many other openly available online publications!
The plot mandated friendship failure scene with Aladdin highlighting Disney's betrayal of Robin was on point. Well done. The downright disrespectful lack of effort put into the PatF ride is almost *more* offensive than SotS. It's all lip service and table scraps tossed at Tiana. Disney did no better than those two banker brothers in the film. A Civil War ride? How on earth would one Disneyfy that? "Come on, kids, let's go on this delightfully wholesome ride about brothers pitted against one another on a battlefield flowing with ankle-deep blood, all so that either one side can enslave a minority group to the point of practically being genocide, or the other side can dump said minority out on their butts like a foster kid who just turned 18! It'll be so much fun!"
Other dishonorable mentions: movies like John Carter, the live-action remake of Pinocchio, and the apparent decision to continue remaking classics such as Lilo and Stitch, Moana, Flight of the Navigator, and maybe Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (God-forbid if they do it for the one that started it all).
Obviously, "The Princess and the Frog" was made to broaden Disney's scope, but do you think it was made in response to competition? As far as I remember, movies drastically competed with each other from the summer of 2008 to December 2009.
Yeah, the galactic Starcruiser was a bad idea, I wonder if Amandla Stenberg used the music from that to help the Distrack because if she did then maybe it will add to Disney’s controversy as well.
The Galactic Starcruiser could have been a success...if it wasn't so expensive! That's what was holding everyone back, everything else was great! It also shouldn't have been called a "hotel" which, to Disney's credit, they did not, but the media DID in their laziness. Disney should have doubled down on that and advertise it as a role-playing experience and nothing else.
In my honest opinion, I feel like even without Disney breaking their promise to Robin Williams, he wouldn’t have returned for The Return of Jafar or the series considering his scheduling would’ve made him too busy to reprise the role.
which is a good thing would be dumb to allow 20 people on one account when only one person is paying for it the are loosing what might be 19 paying customers
As a Jewish man we know about discrimination. The Uncle Remus stories were secret coded stories. I cannot give credit to this piece on the internet. “Many of the stories he relates through Remus are clearly subversive of American apartheid's hierarchies. They spring from a tradition with roots in Africa, and also in Northern and Eastern Europe - the animal tale, with moral lessons about escape from submission and the value of cunning.” Amos and Andy was a very controversial tv show. Many people color were critical. Others, many of the best Black actors, singers, educators, leaders were of the opposite of first group’s concerns. Amon and Andy was the first sitcom featuring an all Black cast. I think it comes down to 😊perspective. It is a discredit people who have tried to discredit other intentions. After, not all Jews are rich, have big noses, enunciate with unusual accents, control Hollywood, hate Arabs, and these stereotypes everyone knows. After Splash Mountain was forced to close I blamed feaux politically correct folks who have read Uncle Remus Tales and never seen Amos and Andy. Please!
uncle remus was created by a white guy and is a black racist stereotype and is a early sign of a white guy stealing from black culture in order to make a buck
Owning Star Wars and not using one darn STAR WARS thing in their parks or hotel was a big mistake. Don't "invent" a new outpost. Use the stuff from the fantastic one that already exists!
I wish that I could get a DVD copy of the song of the south and the black cauldron two that they took away . Isn't the main black character the hero of the story? I never got a chance to see it as a kid and it got pulled from shelfs before I could buy it
ehhh with Blythe he was a competitor in the 80s and then... his own quality went down. by the time he was a working for Fox he was a shell of himself Anastasia has been said to be his most Disney -esque work featuring sings and a lost princess. also it's use of CGI was absolutely horrid
Dishonorable Mention: *Chicken Little (2005) -Coming off the already disappointing Home on the Range, Chicken Little earned the ire of the general public as not only Disney's most mean-spirited film, but also among the worst films in Disney's filmography. Heck, the original Disney short this film was based on did a better job than this. And Disney's follow-up films; Valiant, and The Wild, HA! Face it, you likely forgot these films even existed until I brought them up. They also didn't draw in the numbers they were hoping for. With The Wild being called a bad Madagascar clone. Disney wouldn't be able to get their mojo back until the releases of Meet The Robinsons and Bolt, and later The Princess and The Frog and Tangled. *Cancelling The Owl House -Of all the cancellations, this one hits me the most personally mainly because I backed the petition to save the show myself. I don't think I'm being controversial when I say that The Owl House is a fantastic show, and a much needed hit for Disney, AND YET, SOMEONE at the higher ups just refuses to he happy about it (I bet it's South Park's Mickey Mouse). Because ever since Season 2 started airing, the news going around about how Disney was treating the series was downright shameful. Not only would the series end with it's 3rd season, but ALSO the 3rd season would only consist of 3 44 min specials (against the creator's wishes mind you). There was also word going around that the show "Didn't fit the Disney brand." Oh sure, because stuff like The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Gravity Falls and Amphibia were fine but THIS is pushing it. The fan backlash was massive, even spawning the aforementioned petition to save the show, but Disney remained resolute in their decision. Now thankfully, The Owl House still ended fantastically in the end (thank goodness), but again, this only makes the company look really suspicious. And in a DELICIOUS twist of irony, Disney actually DID admit that they were wrong to cancel the show and that it was in fact sucessful. But given that Dana Terrace left Disney after the show was complete, it looks like any chance for a sequel series, spin-off, or a Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood-esque extended story are unlikely. Despite the sucess of the show, it still really hurts when you think about what could've been. Mistreating your employees is bad enough, but when you mistreat your employees, your fans, your consumers, your properties, AND your legacy in such a short span on time, it takes a lot to regain the trust of the public after all that. Let's just hope their recent shows don't go to their heads, or we could end up with something like this again.
#5: That's because (The Lion King aside) the animation downgraded. Like the difference between premium quality cake from top cake stores and those dry $2 ones you get at gas stations that are three days past the expiration date.
during the civil war, regular people ("civilians") watched the battles from a safe vantage point. people would also gather to watch public hangings, even bringing the kids along. history isn't all bright colors and smiles.
My pick for when Disney dropped the ball is the 2019 Kim Possible DCOM. In 2018 Disney announced that they gonna make a live action Kim Possible movie for Disney Channel I was really excited and while I do enjoy it, the movie was received poorly. The trailer was dislike bombed (in the same day that Avengers Endgame teaser was released) the movie itself was overhated, on IMDb there's review bombing (I'm talking about The Acolyte level of review bombing) and with the rating of 1.24 it killed Disney Channel and any potential that Kim Possible would receive a continuation while MCU were at their strength with Endgame and Star Wars got their first live action series known as The Mandalorian. This movie should've been great if not for the existence of MCU and Star Wars. It's like Disney have forgot their history and what they came from because after all this is Walt Disney, not Walt Marvel or Walt Star Wars. In the end, I think Disney got what they deserve since the end of 2019. Rise of Skywalker turn out to be worse than The Last Jedi, the whole Superhero fatigue and not to mentioned the disasterous 100th anniversary. What I can say is all of this could be prevented if they at least put an effort into this 2019 DCOM and not overrelying on MCU or Star Wars...
How about repeatedly attacking fans and/or making false accusations about them? Or how about getting political? Or how about firing people based on their beliefs or opinions? Or how about making agenda pushing and virtue signaling the focal point of their films? Or how about blacklisting actors?Or how about manipulating ratings, censoring fans, hiding negative reviews, using bots to create fake positive reviews, paying shills to promote movies, or lying about how good movies and even the industry as a whole is doing?
Train wrecks: Canceling the Owl House Queerbaiting Wish's very existence The ungodly amount of recent sequels Shutting down Blue Sky Studios Highly predictable stories LIVE ACTION REMAKES. I'm sorry but the only good one is Cruella.
I think Disney creating anti semitic content such as their version of the three little pigs, and making most of their villains jewish stereotype caricacures such as mother gothel, the evil queen, Ursula, and and Maleficent. As well, having ponoccios nose grow every time he lies is obviously hinting at something
