    What difference does it make. Moana is still a symptom of their shitty female leads.

      Probably none, but I'm ready for reactions from animators in Burbank.

        California catches fire a lot (serious problem: it's two or three times a year now, and likely to get worse), has drought problems and now flooding problems, and is basically unlivable in rentals, which isn't the studios, it's a wider problem with land values, land banking and hedge fund speculation. Owning a place at those kind of costs when you may not even be able to get fire insurance is insane unless you're banking 7 figures annually. WB is expanding its footprint in Burbank so it's not like jobs are disappearing (overall anyway) but that does take away a lot of job security because, paradoxically, all these jobs being at one studio makes it harder to stay employed if that studio's ownership decides it's time to write off three and a half billion dollars of production against tax like WB last year. Plus WB themselves are moving a lot of production out of LA and the US entirely, with projected new sites in Europe to expand existing studios there.

        Canada (and most of the world for that matter) has a lot going for it, particularly in terms of land costs (which makes acquiring new land for development a lot cheaper than in LA or even in Georgia), has better healthcare (not just on cost/accessibility but on medical outcomes), is culturally very similar to the US in the ways that people like and isn't likely to undergo a weird decade of politically-motivated punishment against "the liberal media" if those in power deem such punishments as likely to play well to their electoral base, which makes it a politically stable and largely neutral place to move production to without upsetting anybody. Pols can throw their tantrums against whatever rump of production is left in LA/elsewhere, but the studios will leave over a relatively short time if that continues - just as they originally ended up in the US, and subsequently concentrated in California, after similar tantrums decimated the European studios' talent base in the 1920s and 30s and sent them overseas.

          I don't see this as a legitimate reason. They don't animate in Florida. They are as far from that as possible in the continental US from the mess. They also can't shield themselves from the blowback either, because they can't move their parks.

          Makes me wonder what Canadian history they will inevitably make with Mickey and the crew as the main characters
          Once I see that I know Disney is leaving
          You know that they are still sore about not being able to cuck actors with AI

      Perhaps because everything WDAS and Pixar have made since 2020 have lost money, and they need to downsize?

      I'm betting they pull a Lucasfilm and stop talking about the live action version until people forget it ever existed. Or they're moving it to Disney+.

    What's interesting is that nobody in the animation sphere who knew said anything about this new studio

    To be fair, it was going to be a tv show, and now they've changed it into a movie, which probably means that it will be pretty shitty quality since this studio is one which was created for tv show quality

      I think Disney and their new Canadian employees understood the full ramifications of what they were doing, and elected to keep quiet until Iger himself spilled the beans on this movie. But it's notable that Iger himself did not say anything about this movie being made in Canada.
      If this post is accurate, it means they went from 100 employees to 400 in a span of 6 months. They must have made the decision to turn this tv project into a film back then, assuming the tv show wasn't a cover story in the first place. So I don't think this is a last-minute effort, nor do I think there will be quality issues, at least from a technical standpoint. If they keep the release date in November, that means this movie would have had a development time of 2 1/2 years.

    Honestly, I’d do the same. The States are just way too expensive to make these films. Same with television. It’s a good way to cut costs.
