They gave us that ugly homosexual in Strange World instead of giving us a cute Disney prince movie. Every time they give us a gay character it's some ugly frick that not even the gays would touch instead of giving us somebody like Hercules. Every single fricking time.
>100TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL >One of their ugliest CG movies since Meet the Robinsons >A princess that nobody likes and everyone says is a fricking brat >A villain that everyone says dindu nuffin wrong >A SINGLE memorable song out of the entire fricking playlist >One of their worst openings over a FIVE DAY OPENING
How the frick do you drop the ball so hard? How do you frick up EVERY single aspect of this? The premise, the anniversary celebration, the writing, the visuals, the marketing, the box office performance. Literally nothing went right for this production. You watch this movie and you go, "How the frick did they make it to 100 years?".
All the little problems the company has ignored kept building up while much of the talent slowly left. This was a perfect storm of all the bad shit happening at Disney being presented on full display for the world to not see.
What passes me off is the absolute unintelligent writing. In the trailers alone I heard the villain say "you're right, I am a very handsome king." Disney used to treat their movies with dignity, and even the humorous scenes wouldn't have that level of irony in the script. Where did the writers go?
I can't help but feel that this wasn't just written and made by people who have never made a movie before, I question if they've ever even SEEN a movie. Because whatever this was? It wasn't a movie.
It wasn't written by people who have never seen a movie, it's written by people with executives breathing down their neck over every line. Executives who see creatives as an obnoxious nuisance that get in the way of their money machine by saying things like "quality takes time" and "you can't just follow a recipe to make the perfect movie". The kind of person that is so gagging for ai to replace these stupid fleshy writers, actors, editors and more that they're already sneaking it in wherever they think they can get away with it, even though the technology is currently so stupid it shits itself if you look at it funny.
>the technology is currently so stupid it shits itself if you look at it funny
If you're talking about AI, that's becoming less and less true every few months or so.
> How long until they file for bankruptcy?
A long time. If they were a new film company, they’d be done, but the bigger the machine, the harder it is to tip. Disney is a behemoth spanning parks, several networks and major IPs, several production companies, games, merch, tv, film, streaming…
They may trim the fat a bit here and there but despite a rough couple of years, it will be awhile before they legit have to worry about bankruptcy.
Not even all of that stuff can save them. Last time I checked, the parks were still running low on attendance and actually losing money while their films are bleeding in the box office, and now they have the writer's strike to worry about. Heck, it was only a year ago they had to sell a lot of their Disney+ originals to the government for a tax write off. Disney won't let stuff go unless if they're in serious trouble, and the reason why they're jumping on Frozen 4 now is because that's one of the remaining hopes they have of a film bringing in money right now.
The good thing about being a gigantic megacorporation is that there's plenty of people on the bottom to cut while you deliver worse and worse products and still earn a shitload through licensing. Even without a hard left in approach and priorities, I bet they can hold out for decades.
They aren't gonna just go bankrupt and close shop. That's not how it works at that scale. They're gonna fire a lot of people, maybe close down or sell off some of their branches, adjust their long term plans and maybe slow down production.
In some way or another, Disney is gonna stick around and either gonna have a comeback eventually, like it did in the 90's, or just continue on a significantly smaller scale.
>took out loans to buy fox >has to buy hulu for potentially 6 - 12 billion >interest rates are sky high right now
it certainly isn't looking good if they can't make more money, fast
I don't think they'll ever go bankrupt, but the string of failures will certainly catch up to them. I can see them downsizing to the point where the passionate "Disney adult" core will support them no matter what. I like to think of them basically becoming Scientology, but instead of lie-detector talk therapy and a sci-fi creation myth, it's cringe-inducingly self-aware family films and a few well-known theme parks
Disney will never die, see General Electric. What will happen is someone like David Zaslav will eventually have to be brought in so Disney can start paying down debt and making a profit on cheap garbage that this Zaslav-esque person will produce. Disney biggest problem right now is all their garbage is too expensive. The budgets are insane for these movies with the amount of risk Disney is taking on them
You're never gonna see a big budget animated movie with a prominent same sex relationship because they wouldn't be able to release it in China. Straight up, the world is not ready for it.
Just never show them kiss, just hug.
Show them being “roommates.”
Have one describe the other as her paramour.
All you have to do is not actually say it or show them kiss, and the movie will still be shown by those foreign governments. So you have plausible deniability.
But the smart fans will understand those winking moments to the audience.
Well I am gay and things were way better when that's all we ever got. The speculation and the feeling of it being a bit naughty and forbidden were so much more exciting
>were the kings of 2d animation >were just ok at 3d animation
>2d animation started trending downwards as 3d animation started trending upwards >so disney shuts down and sacks their 2d animation business in favour of investing further into 3d animation
>still aren't and will likely never be the kings of 3d animations the way they were the kings of 2d animation >and since disney killed off their 2d animation, 2d animation has trended upwards again and the competition within 2d animation has fallen drastically too
Imagine just how hard Disney could have ruled 2D animation if they hadn't pivoted towards 3D animation instead.
>came out and said they want more queer characters
So, um…. Where’s our gay Disney Prince? Where he at? They lied
They gave us that ugly homosexual in Strange World instead of giving us a cute Disney prince movie. Every time they give us a gay character it's some ugly frick that not even the gays would touch instead of giving us somebody like Hercules. Every single fricking time.
>strange world
Damn I forgot that was even a thing mainly because I didn’t watch it
I keep getting strange world confused with strange planet. I haven’t watched either.
>Makes all their money from IP licensing/merch
>Continues to shove garbage in your face until you die.
Legit the only fun things to come out of Disney's 100th is the LEGOs.

>bankruptcy
they'll sell to Apple
They should go with a new Fantasia, Kingdom Hearts could work too.

Once I've pulled out of your mom, and I'm so balls deep rn that I can't find a way out.
I'm still calling it as a Springtime for Hitler ruse.
If Springtime for Hitler came out on the VE anniversary maybe.

Disney had more than one dark era.
Package, post Walt and post Renaissance.

Having Else lesbian with that cutie Honeymaron would make me watch it.
And hey, you still have Anna as the hetero Princess in it. So no problem.

I'm not gay but I'd find that sort of thing even more disrespectful than not being depicted at all.
Well I am gay and things were way better when that's all we ever got. The speculation and the feeling of it being a bit naughty and forbidden were so much more exciting
Also have a song from Elsa on how she misses Honeymaron, including missing her embrace.
Oh right, also known as pulling a Nanoha.

It’s family friendly when it’s lesbian with both women being attractive.
Which Elsa and Honeymaron are.
>we gave the pixar team full of newbies control of our most profitable IPs so the veterans can make original IPs
how will this blow up in their face?
