YAY!

I thought Byron would be busy developing Zootopia 2. I guess this means a sequel has yet to be put into active development. I'm guessing they'll do it in 2018, after Rich Moore finishes production on Wreck-It Ralph 2. Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee were also working on a new movie but when the studio announced Frozen 2, they had to drop it to focus on the sequel.

So, it looks like the 2020's will be:

-Frozen 2???
-Zootopia 2
-Buck/Lee movie
-Byron Howard/Lin Manuel-Miranda Movie

My ALL our future WDAS projects be addressed!

I wonder if Howard will keep Miranda restrained here like he did Menken on Tangled? Somehow I don’t think Miranda’ll be treated the same. I was hoping Howard and that other guy would stay on non-musicals because they seemed to hate having to have musical numbers in Tangled.

Byron Howard and Jared Bush visited the Animation Research Library to do research for the musical movie. It seems Jared Bush has come on board as writer and co-director.

Interesting. Love Howard's terse "Nope."

Yes, really interesting. They were doing research at the Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros section, and also Lin-Manuel Miranda, who is doing the music, is of Puerto Rican descent. I wonder if that might mean the movie they are working on is set in South America.

And a couple days later, Lin and his Hamilton collaborator posted this. Interesting.

FIRST LATINA PRINCESS



https://pagesix.com/2019/01/21/lin-manu ... -princess/

Well, it's about time! How is it a sequel to Moana though if it's about a Latina princess? Will there be some sort of connection to Moana? Will the films exist in the same universe or was his father just confused?

I think it's just a "spiritual" follow up to Moana and they mistook it for a sequel. I don't think there'll be a sequel to Moana without John Musker.

Perhaps it would be very loosely connected to the Moana universe. Sort of like something in the far distant future with little connection to the people of her island.

Maybe they just meant it figuratively. Bc he wrote the music from Moana and such. Journalists always make vague.

I still wonder how the fuck are they gonna make a "latina princess", considering latin countries never had proper royalty post the Spanish conquista, yet Disney and other gringos think the times of the Mayas / Incas is "unfashionable" since there's no palaces or ballgowns. Not like Americans or Latino-Americans know about this tho...I wouldn't be surprised if they take the Elena of Avalor route and actual latinos end up disliking it for how inaccurate it is, like they did with the Emperor's New Groove.

I think it's safe to say they'll make up a kingdom and/or country that's going to be an hodgepodge of various Central and South American countries, cultures, and eras, just like they did with Moana and Elena of Avalor.

Well then, fuck that shit. That's not authentic representation. Go tell a Chilean or a Peruvian about how similar they are, and they'll fucking rip you to shreds. Like, that period Elena of Avalor is set in? It's literally years after the Incas and Aztecs were imprisoned and slaughtered by the Spaniards. The people in power were often the descendants of Spaniards or mixes between the different races (just as long as one was white).
Disney's literally promoting whitewashing and romanticizing a period of slaughtering and caste systems.

But it's asking too much to expect of Americans / Latin-Americans to know about authentic Latin History.

And if Miranda even thinks about including rap, or claiming how it's "latin"... And let's not even get into reggeaton, which is latin but is just trashy and terrible on all accounts.

Sad, honestly, I thought they had learnt something with Coco.

What, disneyprincess, you think I'm being a smart aleck now, or is this not a reason to get upset with Disney like the Quasimodo thing?

The same way they were able to have a black American princess -- have her marry visiting royalty.

Of course there's going to be rapping involved with LMM writing and possibly starring in the film. You better start making your peace with that now.


I don't think they'll go with that route again. I remember people criticizing the fact that Tiana wasn't a princess by birth (among the many criticisms hurled at the film). In the age of social media and outrage culture such a choice would be heavily scrutinized. I highly doubt Disney will ever make another princess by marriage, to be honest.

_________________

Umm... The movie is barely in pre production...so I don't get how it's criticized at this point when we literally don't know anything about it except that LMM and Byron Howard are involved and it's about a Latin "Disney Princess" (remember Disney Princesses don't actually have to have ballgowns or even be princesses).

It's alright, faberb, you can name me.

Please, as if Disney isn't lazy and won't do the bare minimum to make their movies. This'll basically be Elena of Avalor: The Movie with a Higher Budget. Plus remember how Disney is completely driven by marketing, and Pocahontas is the princess which sells the least dolls. Another pre-columbian indigenous princess simply won't do for poor little Disney's marketing sales. They'll force her into another poofy dress because that's what sells.
