Yeah, I've heard the McDonald's criticism about Disney for as long as I've been alive. I don't feel it's any more or less true than it's always been--they've always been motivated by the lowest common denominator to suit the whole family, when Walt was alive, in the '90s, and now.

Oh, I really liked the concept of the Wrecked Princesses, even if I have no fondness for WIR, whereas I don't like this. I don't understand why a Disney+ show for the WP concept hasn't happened, actually.

Loved it!

I really enjoyed every aspect of this movie, really funny. Can't wait to watch it again.

I can't believe they even did a remix of ! I love that song and it brings back so many memories!

I was going to say that about Gumby, but I didn't want DisneyFan09 to feel like I was coming at him. I didn't mind that character because I loved Gumby growing up.

I feel like this is a movie where it's hard to express my full thoughts on. I do think it's bad in the sense that it's not a great movie or anything like that, but not bad as in it's completely terrible. If anything, I kind of hoped it would be worse, and more of a dumpster fire that goes all out in the craziness whereas the finished product is more "boring." So it's not really that bad--sort of bleh like the new Space Jam movie (good comparison to whoever mentioned that) where highlighting different IPs was more the point than anything else. And it's WORLDS better than something like the Chipmunks, Garfield, or Smurfs films--I wouldn't even watch those things *one* time, whereas this is in sort of a no-man's-land kind of boring. So it's not great, but it's not terrible? I never expected it to be good, but I would've enjoyed it more if it was worse ()?

@blackcauldron85: I also liked the part with the Cheesemonger.

And they say that Disney is serious about returning to Hand Drawn animation

There were a lot of non-Disney references in this movie actually. From what I remember:


Apparently from a YouTube review, Disney actually gives special thanks to their legal team for their assistance in making this movie. Which means they probably spent a lot of money on references. If I ever see the movie again I'll try to watch through the end credits to see if this is the case.

Honestly, I just wish they didn't use Peter Pan, and when you really think about it, it doesn't make any sense. Peter Pan is not some forgotten character, he had a sequel, he appeared in the spin off movie series, he appeared in House of Mouse, in Jake and the Never Land Pirates (which was more recent than Rescue Rangers) and he is represented in the parks. Other characters that should have been the villains are Bonkers, Pete, Fat Cat, Oswald or this guy:
.

Even Ugly Sonic could have been the villain and it would have been more creative, but I guess they really wanted that unclever and unfunny joke about grown up Peter Pan.

That makes sense, Disney refused to let Kingdom Hearts use Mickey Mouse in the first game outside of one ending scene where he was in shadow.

As for the other stuff--Peter Pan isn't even likable in the 1953 film. His character personality is "spoiled brat." No way a movie that will be forgotten in 5 minutes like this one is going to damage a character like that one. If anything, they could've used Tinker Bell, too. In the original film, she was a would-be murderer several times over, so... She could've got in a fight with the assistant cop and been squished like a bug.
