Re: Wish

Avaitor, I mostly agree with you. I think Wish has the potential to gain a following if Asha is inducted into the Disney Princess franchise and remains a part of it. If the franchise pumps out backpacks and dolls of Asha alongside the other Princesses, she’ll remain relevant. Every Princess is some...

Re: Wish

Yeah, I don't see either of these movies gaining big cult followings. They're just not that good, and I don't think anyone who made either Wish or Strange Magic were that passionate about them. And not because they're "woke" like some idiots will want you to believe without describing what...

Re: Disney Legends

I'd like to see the inductions for Joe Rohde, Mark Henn and Steve Ditko the most, but since this is going to be a Honda Center presentation, I don't think I'll make that happen. I'm sticking to the cheaper convention center-only option. Anyway, who wants to bet we'll hear news about Freaky Friday 2 ...

Re: Is the Disney Movie Club worth it?

More DMC exclusives added to DMI:

-Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin
-Atlantis: The Lost Empire 2-movie collection
-Return to Neverland
-Beauty and the Beast 30th anniversary edition
-Brother Bear 2-movie collection

Nothing for me this time.

Re: Is the Disney Movie Club worth it?

I've noticed that a couple of DMC exclusive titles have become rewards for Disney Movie Insiders. I've seen a couple of formerly exclusive animation releases, a couple of Herbie movies and the OG Parent Trap on Blu-Ray. I ordered Herbie: Fully Loaded, because that has recently sold out from DMC, and...

Re: Is the Disney Movie Club worth it?

My membership was seemingly onhold for about a year, but I was able to get it back off the ground and accepted Wish as the feature title + finally picked up Strange World. But next, I'm trying to save for one last score of their exclusive titles, which I'd recommend if you can- they're on sale for $...

D23 Down in New Orleans- Celebrating 15 Years of The Princess and the Frog event

This sounds amazing, but I just cannot afford both this AND to go to the D23 Expo this year. If anyone here lives close to NOLA, though, I hope they get the chance to experience this.

Re: Bob Iger is Back!!!

I'm not happy about the news- even though Moana is the last WDAS film I really cared for, turning a TV series into a movie does not sound like a recipe for a strong project- but I understand the desire to focus on successful IPs. And frankly, their last few films just haven't been up to snuff. It's ...

Re: New Disney Merchandise

I agree, ShopDisney sounds much less personal, The Disney Store sounds a lot more inviting. Although I just wish that we could bring back the physical Disney Stores. They weren't the same as they were back in the 90s, but now that I'm not in Orlando anymore, stopping at one of my local ones was the ...

Re: Once Upon a Studio (WDAS Short)

I can't say that I'm too surprised, the Academy hasn't been interested in nominating franchise short subject cartoons in a long time. This isn't the golden age of animation any more, when Tom and Jerry won basically every other year.

Re: Pixar's Soul

I feel like there was a moment a while earlier where there was more demand for a wide theatrical release for Soul. That moment I feel has passed. But this may just be coming from me, I found Soul kind of mid tbh. It felt like an unwelcome retread to Pixar's old formula, and I genuinely prefer their ...

Re: Gargoyles (Television Series) Discussion Thread

It is really heartening to see Gargoyles gather such a large cult following in the past few years. I criticize Disney+ often, but I think the show’s availability on the streaming service has done wonders for reminding audiences of its appeal and introducing it to new eyeballs, too. I've really like...

Re: Wish

I'm okay with that, I'm still on Blu-Ray and don't currently plan to upgrade to 4K. If I do, I'll probably stick to recent releases and/or favorites and not double dip on movies I'm less into like this.

Re: Oscar for Best Animated Feature 2023

I'm happy for Boy and the Heron, it really is an excellent film. I will say that if you're expecting it to be as whimsical as Spirited Away/Totoro/Howl's Moving Castle, you might be disappointed. Not to say that those don't also have their heavy moments, but it's arguably closer to Princess Mononoke...

You're right, there does seem to be at least one person from Disney's various divisions willing to throw fans a bone when there's a light load and/or relevant reason to release something, like the Rescue Rangers movie for its Blu set or the 100th anniversary for Cinderella and Snow White's new resto...
