Re: Moana 2

This still just reads like a direct-to-streaming project. Maybe it won’t be as cringe as it sounds but I doubt that. I guess it will take a while before recent shakeups at executive levels will start to be reflected in the quality of the movies. Moana 2 won’t be great based on how things have been g...

Re: Wish

Trying to watch this at long last on Disney+. It’s really hard to push through. The songs are so bad and the animation doesn’t work. I feel like I’m not saying anything new here and everything has already been said about it. It’s well intended, but deeply misguided. I was hopeful when the first trai...

Re: Ducks - Pixar's First Ever Musical?

So Pixar looked at Migration and thought yes let’s give the world more of that?

Re: Sean Bailey Left Disney

David Greenbaum could be alright, let’s wait and see. Calling Fox Searchlight ‘indie’ is a bit of a stretch though. I guess it is by Hollywood’s definition of the term, but this studio churns out nothing even remotely independent. It’s a standard legacy studio. And Greenbaum has overseen some stella...

Re: Iwájú (Disney+ Series)

Disney is really shoving this show in my face on social media. While there’s absolutely zero organic hype for it.

And it looks worse with every ad. Heads should be rolling at WDAS for this.

Re: Bob Iger is Back!!!

More sequels, a collaboration announcement with Fortnite that says ‘soon(ish)’… I mean, what was that all about lol :headshake: If investors actually buy this and not see it for the desperation that it is then they’re very stupid.

Re: Moana 2

This being produced at the Vancouver studio means it has a significantly smaller budget than the average WDAS film. Disney is going to make bank on it. I bet Iger was seeing dollar signs when he found out about that. So this is the first Disney movie to be outsourced to another country? Parts of Ta...

Re: Moana 2

The amount of damage control going on at Disney right now is truly on another level.

We haven’t seen this type of nonsense since Jeffrey Katzenberg personally started cutting into the Black Cauldron.

Can’t wait to see how they’re going to extract every ounce of charm and charisma out of this property and make it as lifeless as humanly possible.

Re: Once Upon a Studio (WDAS Short)

It’s crazy how much Disney is still posting on social media about OUAS. They’re really milking it. It does feel like they’re acknowledging that this is one of the few things they’ve made recently that has garnered critical acclaim. And something that people actually enjoyed. And all the comments und...

Re: Wish

I’m sorry but those figures do not warrant for it to be labeled as ‘clawing its way back at the box office’. It still hasn’t even passed $200 million, so I wouldn’t put this in the same category as Elemental, sorry.

Does Disney own Collider or something?

I think at this point America is just gearing up for a civil war. Disney is just one of the many battle grounds.

These are early 2000’s numbers for WDAS. But I I’d argue those movie were more interesting than Wish.

Re: Glago's Guest

I actually kind of enjoyed this. It’s definitely from a different era. But the animation is solid and the story works.

Considering how toxic anything Russian is these days I doubt Disney would voluntarily put this out there. This is the opposite of a ‘safe’ short.

Re: Mufasa: The Lion King (Live-Action)

Bringing back Kiara really legitimizes the DTV sequel which is pretty bizarre to me somehow. Will Kion also feature?

Such a weird turn for the Lion King-verse.
