Bravo, Disney?

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

You do not get to say this when the studio is in fricking Vancouver lmao
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
Frick you Moana was kino
I just watched it for the first time an hour ago and aside from the songs not being as memorable as the older stuff it was a pretty great movie
>>Far from crime-driven death spirals
>Vancouver
You dumb piece of shit. Someone get this leaf out of my face before I fricking rake him.
...Why?
Perhaps because everything WDAS and Pixar have made since 2020 have lost money, and they need to downsize?
Money, California is incredibly expensive for companies, and Disney is bleeding money
So what would happen to California if major business enterprises start fleeing the state en masse?
Outsourcing to other countries is cheaper.
So they saw how good and cost-efficient the Paw Patrol movies are and now wants to muscle in on their Canadian animators?
>outsourcing sequel movie to a cheaper foreign studio
Disneytoon bros. We are back!
BUT THIS DOESNT COUNT AS A DISNEYTOON BECAUSE IT IS GETTING A THEATRICAL RELEASE AND HAS WDAS LOHO ON IT
>side stepping diversity mandates
>in Canada
Holy shit you’re fricking moronic. And even then It’s still the same people in control of the company who have been pushing that bullshit for years
>animated in Canada
alright so who is getting the fart scene
>Maui starts ripping mad ass
Actually come to think of it are they keeping Dwayne the Shart Johnson
>The wind? Yeah, I created that too. Wanna know how?
Hopefully we'll get a puke scene with Sina and Chief Tui
>Canada
How many fetishes will they "sneak" in?
none, Canada is in full sharia law
The Total Drama Island reboot had an entire episode of farting
>Canada
>a moana sequel and live action remake are both coming out within the near future
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+.
>Disney built secret studio in Canada
weird, you'd think they'd take Florida seriously after the ass-kicking they got from America's next president, Ron DeSantis
MoRon is a b***hboy and will never become Fascist in Chief
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
>What's interesting is that nobody in the animation sphere who knew said anything about this new studio
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.
Anon BC is a colony for the chinese now so their movies are going go have EVEN MORE CHINK PANDERING
>which recently promised to extend Disney's copyrights in the country
lol did they really
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.
>No union, completely side-stepping diversity mandates in Hollywood
You realize BC is the closest thing to Canadian California in terms of political leanings.
>television show animated in Canada being retooled into a theatrical movie
lol what if it looks like ass
Disneytoon is so fricking back
It wasn't a "secret", it was publicly announced a few years ago, it's just that nobody here cares about the production side of animation so that news story fell through the cracks
What are you referring to, Moana 2 or the studio?
>No union, completely side-stepping diversity mandates in Hollywood
Holy fricking based, I'm subscribing to Disney+ as I type this
>completely side-stepping diversity mandates in Hollywood
Dude, Canada is all about pushing that shit. Murdoc Mysteries has a blacks and women in high position in a century when israelites were given proper rights just decades prior.
>Dude, Canada is all about pushing that shit.
Those are network tv mandates, which the Canadian government regulates.
Well yeah, that's where all the Disney+ series are made
Good. Now the idiots can actually make money.
>No union, completely side-stepping diversity mandates in Hollywood
LMAO
they're getting fricked with socialism and you think this is true
How's Vancouver? Is it good or bad place to live?
its literally a Chinese colony.
From the teaser the animation looks good so I don’t mind
