I dunno... I don't want them to recycle stuff. Maybe just Paperman but the rest have had their time, time for something new. Otherwise you'd have a glorified collection of shortsTheSequelOfDisney wrote:I would absolutely LOVE to see this happen Although it wouldn't be necessarily the greatest decision, but it would be nice to include the four shorts (for Fantasia 2006) that have already been made and released (The Little Matchgirl, Lorenzo, One By One, and Destino), along, of course, with others. Hopefully we'll learn more about this soon
Yeah, I guess that's true. I'd at least like to see Lorenzo get released in some type of Blu-ray or DVD release (maybe as a release with the other three). Still, I'm hoping that that comment from the D23 panel means something'll definitely be happening. Here's hopingLnds500 wrote:I dunno... I don't want them to recycle stuff.

WHAT?! OOOOOOH Sotiris, YOU MAKE ME MAD! WIGGLYTUFF! DOUBLE SLAP HIM!
No, I don't think he does. If they were indeed considering it or if something was in the works, he wouldn't have instructed the audience to write to Iger to convince him. It's clearly something he would like to see happen but has no power over. What he said is the equivalent of "let's start a petition" which usually leads to nowhere.Lnds500 wrote:Does he actually have influence over Disney? Can he convince Iger to pursue this?

If it were someone else who had said that, Lasseter for example, that would have meant something. But now, I don't think it does.
Considering that Fantasia 2000 was a commercial failure, I highly doubt they would greenlight another one. Not even Fantasia 2000 would have happened if Roy E. Disney hadn't strongly lobbied for it. That's why when Roy exited the company for the second time, plans for Fantasia 2006 (which was renamed to Fantasia World) fell apart.
This is my only objection to your post. The make-or-break situation has given us diamond (no pun intended) releases. Walt's films were nearly always really carefully built to attract audiences without sacrificing quality along the way cause they had no other choice. Same thing happened with the Disney Renaissance. They were pushed so hard to be better they started creating masterpieces. It was at times of well-being that the studio faltered heavily (2000s) and now they seem to be following a formula (= "whatever brings money in and is Disney-ish") and halted potential creativity in the name of said formula (Tangled / Frozen and Glen Keane resigning)monorail91 wrote:I disagree with the market statement - we are fortunate that Disney is now in the position where each feature is not make-or-break (like it was during the 1940s when the studio was crippled and forced to make package features instead of feature films).
