    Is this one of the biggest bombs in Disney history? It looks really bad

    • 5 months ago
      Anonymous

      And yet they will learn NOTHING from this flop and continue to shit out films via committee and executive meddling alone. Disney makes films like my coworker bought a car. She wanted a white sedan with butt warmers in the seats and leather interior. She found the cheapest possible option that had those little extras and ended up with a complete piece of shit.

      Why allow people to be creative when you can put together a shopping list of marketing concepts and idealistic BS to loosely wrap a narrative around?

      >Character that can be made into plushie
      >Comedic sidekick
      >POC
      >Theme of "Inspiring the next generation" because that's what Disney wants to do in the NEXT 100 years...get it? get it?
      >Theme of "wishing upon a star" as a throwback
      >Tie cinematic universe together as an afterthought because Marvel shit...I dunno

      "GENIUS! This is going to be the greatest movie ever."

        Iger has already said that the reason why they're struggling now is too little executive meddling, so yeah, they're learning absolutely nothing. As we all know, corporate execs are really good at creating masterpieces.

          I'm a bleeding heart liberal. I simply mentioned that one of their obvious requirements was to have a person of color which is an objective fact. I see no reason to pretend like Disney *isn't* making a painfully conscious effort to be more inclusive.

            the thing is, it worked in the past. The "princesses" of the past were nice, good, PoC (or not, plus depending on the time line germans and irish at one point were not considered americans fully), they were right, because they were doing right and good things. The heroin in wish is insane. Giving people their wishes, no matter what they want ends in extinction of humanity. The main villain may not be great, but he sounds and acts more good, then she does.

            That is the problem. It is like making a movie, in which X-men are wrong and Magneto is right, and not just philosophicaly or on some level. The house of mouse makes movies where the main heroes are the villains, in the normal world.

              The previous quirky heroines were also more than just quirky and "right". Asha has no character; even her dead father is just kinda there like ChatGPT was checking off the Disney movie tropes, and the writers do nothing with the rest of her family.

                People complain a lot about the "quirky" female leads, but imo it worked for Rapunzel and Moana. Those were fine. It's fine to write that "adorable" personality if it makes sense for the character.
                Anna is not a well written character in a very flawed movie
                Sisu is not even "quirky". She's supposed to be annoying (and she is)
                Mirabel is annoying (but she was not intended to be lmao)
                Asha is a mistake and the culmination of execs misinterpreting why it worked for other characters

                I disagree about Mirabel. She's is not really quirky at her core. Her annoying act is essentially being the class clown, overcompensating and trying to make herself different to mask her insecurity and the feeling of being forgettable and inferior when surrounded by extraordinary people. Whenever we see her in the more intimate scenes, she's quiet and reflective, more like her grandmother than Anna or Rapunzel.

                It didn't work for Rapunzel if you ask me. Someone who lived their whole life without speaking to anyone except their mentally traumatizing adoptive mother would not act the way Rapunzel did. Notice how quickly she socialized and made friends with criminals and the townspeople? That's bullshit. Someone with Rapunzel's background would be supremely cautious about doing anything because she'd be scared and nervous. She wouldn't be the outgoing optimist that the movie depicted her as.

                Not really. She's a 10/10 and desperate for human contact. She also has no sense of boundaries so goes in 100% with everyone she meets. I have met plenty of homeschooled kids who act similar to Punzy.

        Disney are just becoming unstuck because their movies are getting less popular, but they're also too afraid to stray from their "winning formula" even when that formula is no longer successful.

        If they stick to the formula dogmatically when it's not successful, then you can only really expect Disney movies to do worse and worse.

          The problem is they aren’t keeping “the formula”
          2d worked for 80 years outside two periods of a few years (one the exec’s misunderstanding and the other when Pixar CGi was hot shit ) and now it’s not used at all. These movies do not feel like the writing, music and characters that made the studio on top all those years
          They fricked with the formula more than people not wanting it. Frozen was the closest to their traditional films the past decade and look where that went

              There was a period in the late 90s to early 2000s where 2D animated movies were competing alongside 3D at the box office. Legitimately good 2D movies like The Road to El Dorado, or Treasure Planet were being box office bombs while 3D Shrek, Toy Story, Ice Age, etc. were cleaning up.

              2D animation was legitimately getting wrecked at the box-office unless it was attached to a popular TV show like Rugrats, Spongebob, Pokemon or The Simpsons. I like 2D animation but you're kidding yourself if you think there's big enough demand for it to be successful, especially for new IPs.

        200 million budget + around 100 million marketing. Disney takes roughly half the box office (>50% domestic and <50% foreign). Judging by the pathetic opening (31 million TG weekend), that shit won't see more than 200 million in the box office globally so 100 million for the mouse. 300-100 = 200 million dollarinos lost.

      This depends on how you define the biggest box office bomb - by how much it lost, or as a ratio of return vs investment. Wish is neither, but it's close to the top on both. Indiana Jones 5, Flash, and Aquaman 2 will almost certainly be jockeying for the title biggest bomb in money lost.
      This ranking also changes depending on whether you want to figure in the initial marketing budget, which studios are not quite so forthcoming with. For example, Pluto Nash cost $100 million only sold only $7 million in tickets, but it had next to zero marketing budget behind it.
      Incidentally, one of the biggest money losers pre-2000 is Cutthroat Island, a female-led actioner which lost an inflation-adjusted $200 million. This is including ancillaries. It's star, Geena Davis, is one of the people most directly responsible for the push to increase female and minority representation in tentpole movies, particularly replacing men in action films. So all of the major studios are taking casting and writing cues from a woman who made one of the biggest box office bombs of all time, and is likely still bitter about it. Let that sink in.

      In itself, it describes Disney as a whole. They shit on the "princess" archetype, and yet they never stop making movies about princesses. They hate their past, but without it they are nothing. They can't never go full in or full out! They can never fully commit, they need justifications, excuses! No entertainment company ever looked so transparently like just business,

        They like princesses but for the past 20 years they're obsessed with "the strong princess who don't need no man." What they seem to hate is heterosexuality. For some reason they think it makes a heroine weak if she's sexually attracted to a man. Women are naturally interested in romance and men, removing those elements from their movies are why they stopped connecting. Also Asha isn't even a princess. She's a fricking peasant who works for one day as Magnifico's intern before getting fired for asking for free handouts. She appeals to absolutely no one.

          The weirdest part is that if they really wanted a strong independent princess, they cracked the formula a long time ago. They made FRICKING MULAN. There you go! She does shit, she's not even really a princess, you can have romance without diminishing her agency.

                >Gundam Wing

                Unironically the best Gundam property to make a movie out of. You know why? NO NEWTYPES. I have thought for years that you can't do classic MSG for mainstream audiences because then you have to deal with fricking Newtypes. You are already asking people to suspend their disbelief with the existence of giant robots used as war machines. You can't really ask them to go further and also ask them to believe that there are people with psychic powers just because they happen to live in space. That will fly with Japs and weebs but it will not fly with American audiences.

                Wing has no Newtypes, ergo it's the perfect Gundam to make a movie or a movie series out of. Not to mention everybody who watched the anime on Toonami back in the early 00s is an adult now, so you've got a built-in audience ready to go.

              Because the new movie was written by a american woman and western/white women have no concept of "personal growth" so a character they identify with needs to be perfect from birth on, because that's pretty much the self image of white women.
              They dont actually learn or put effort into things, because they are used to getting shit handed to them for having a pussy, that's their super power. So naturally every mulan, that star wars b***h with the ugly teeth, etc are all just the fantasies of white women.
              They absolutely CANNOT sympathize with the idea of a protagonist struggling, growing or learning from their mistakes (accountability!), because those are things they avoid IRL and never have to do either thanks to how modern society treats them.

                Respectfully disagree.

                A woman's fantasy is to be an average somewhat dumpy looking woman who inexplicably has the adoration of a rich upper class man of status and wealth. Again Fifty Shades of Grey which is written by a woman.

                The whole Men with breasts or Girl Boss presentation of women and girl power trite is a huge lie. Those types of females aren't created to satisfy female fantasies but to ruin and tarnish male franchises.

                Well that's the same, isn't it?
                I dont disagree with you at all here.
                But fifty shades of grey is the same "low effort" fantasy, where some random average mid b***h becomes the central focus of some high status man, simply for being some mediocre betty with a pussy.

                Now if you tell the women who write shit like this to write a "powerful strong woman", they will write one that is just as effortlessly powerfull as the b***h from 50 shades of grey was effortlessly the object of lust and desire, simply for existing.

                It's the same core writing style - just in different genres.

Making it a story as old as time. Beauty and the Beast is litteraly about it man=beast. woman has to tame him civilise him, but if she doesn't give him the "rose" he will die. In prior centuries it wasn't just a kids story, it was a story told to young women to explain why that scary (often 10+ years older) men is about to become their husband, what their aka the wifes role is going to be, and why sex is important. And the heroins in those stories? helpful, nice, good looking (but not fem fatals), liked by people and animals, good mother/wife material.

                Todays heroin is supposed to have non of the good traits of old women heroes. Just the body (and sometimes not even that if we look at marvel comics). And are emotionaly stunted and regressed to a level beyond autistic men.

                Because they are produced by samey people. Same collages, lived in California, are around the same people, had similar famlies etc. Imagine how different was cinema in prior century. israeli writers from all over europe (aka difference expiriance of war), eastern europeans, Italians, the british actors and directors. Actors have to attract viewers to the cinemas, so they have to at least look good(women) or look good and act at least okeyish(men).
                When you get a hungarian director, with a israeli writer, a mixed screen team of poles, germans and french canadians, with actors from different parts of US, britain or Italy etc You get a mix that produces new things. Not always good, not always good at the time (some movies became classics after decades), but things would be invovative and different.

                On top of that you had a ton of people that expirianced life outside of LA/california and collage. They have been to wars, they had regular jobs, they seen shits. So they had stuff to write about, to base characters on people they met. A writer that meets only the same sceen girls, corpo b***hes, will not know how a "regular" woman is.

                The fairies and the prince were MVPs fighting wise, but Aurora was still a good character in her own right. Just because she wasn't a girlboss warrior queen doesn't mean she's a bad character. She was a 16 year old girl who grew up in the woods and acted appropriately for her character.

But that just goes to show-Aurora wasn't just saved by the prince-there was an entire team working together to save her. That doesn't make her weak!

                The premise of Sleeping Beauty is that it's a wish fulfillment fantasy for both boys and girls:

                >Girls: secretly being royalty, hooking up with a guy who's willing to do whatever you want to the point of murder, and having a family that gives you whatever you desire.

              Encanto is one movie where a romance subplot would have made the whole thing worse, taking the focus away from Mirabel's relationship with her (already very large) family. I do hope Howard and Bush deliver the Nick/Judy romance in Zootopia 2, though.

          imagine this. you are a israeli or asian (or worse both) producer, script writer, studio higher up. You want the 'princess" to be strong, because you are strong. You don't want her to be glued to a men , because you are a single mother/divorced/both , on top of that even if dad helped you reach your position, you think that he would rather have had a son (and you are not always wrong about that). You don't know what regular women are interested, because you lived all your life in california and/or at a collage. You have been hearing and talking crazy stuff for so long, that you think it is reality. On top of that the only thing LA (aka people in it that around you) is interested is about stories about itself. So you will have strong women, gayness, PoC as a fetish. From time to time you will get some smart person from sales add their 2 cents, about how "blacks" can be made to spend way more then they should on luxury goods, so why try to make the "white men" happy, when you don't really know what makes them happy, and then "blacks" are happy with everything as long it is "black culture". From time to time you make a movie or character you don't know why it becomes popular (Ken from Barbi, Ironman initialy etc), but as it brought a lot of money and you had old talents from prior generations, you think you can do it on your own. I mean what do those old , potentialy "white", men know about the world. You are a woman and you know better.
          And that is how you get a glorified secretary like KK ruining an unsinkable ship like Star Wars.

              Disney feminism is neoliberal feminism, where as long as groups have representation in the elite class, it doesn't matter that the vast majority of them have deteriorating quality of life. There's a reason corporate, Hillary-Clinton-feminism is always talking about representation in places where only a fraction of a fraction of a percent of women can exist, like politics and board rooms, and never talk about how to make sure women have law-mandated maternity leave, guaranteed access to healthcare or other things EVERYBODY actually needs.

      There's nothing else selling. It's not like people are queuing up for hunger games 4, and that's the top movie right now. Besides, they're keeping probably 60% of the ticket on this showing, so it's not as bad as it could be.

      But that's the theater business, sometimes things just don't sell.

      >Theaters must be pissed

      They're probably hoping Renaissance does well. Aquaman is dead weight, wouldn't be surprising if it gets the bare minimum time in wide release and pulled, even less time than they gave Flash which they were practically dragging out after two weeks.

          Real question, and one that outs the cultural implications of Disney on the spotlight,

          What do you guys think of the folklore appropiation in which Disney thrives? I mean, seeing your fairy tales and legends be sanitized and their messages destroyed in order to make a profit does seem pretty fricked. Also, what do you think some of the original authors would think of the movies.

              If there's one thing idiots don't seem to understand is that no one genuinely likes emasculated weak loser male characters. Not in the canceled Gigantic movie and I genuinely doubt women liked Flynn from Tangled.

              I'm well aware that Flynn was designed by an All Female committee but the whole character is bullshit. According to Tangled staff a woman's most desirable male character fantasy is....

              A somewhat decent looking young man who is good at nothing and has no skills and every time he tries to do something he fails at it.

              He's the white version of Oscar Proud from Disney's Proud Family. And Flynn is so grossly incompetent that he's the one who gets killed off in the Disney adaptation of Rapunzel. I mean he gets revived with the power of Bad Writing but yeah that's bollocks. I can believe rich boy model pretty boys like Adrien from Miraculous Ladybug are a girl's fantasy because though he's a bumbling useless homosexual he has good looks, a job making bank from his good looks, and even without the job he is RICH and he's in love with a plain down to Earth average jane type of girl. Basically he's a kid version of Fifty Shades of Grey. Minus the sado whatever fetish. But Eugene from Tangled? No.

              And that's the crux of it. I doubt all these Lame Males that Disney has been making for decades are popular. Been feeling this way since Ron from Kimpossible. Nah man hot girls don't get moist for beta males and no amount of bad writing is going to make a beta male desirable.

      The biggest problem wasn't them using anachronistic lyrics (which is pretty normal when you consider when Disney musicals are usually set, although I will admit the ones you gave as examples are shit regardless) the problem is that they didn't hire people who know how to write songs for musicals, they got people who write generic, trendy pop songs instead.

      Pretty much this. The soundtrack feels so desperate to be played on the radio that they forget it also needs to flow as if it were a play.

      A Disney musical needs that broadway play-like appeal, it's what melds the animation to the song and makes it iconic. There's some cases where it doesn't and it works but those are more rare than being the norm.

      It's not like they don't know this: Moana, Encanto even fricking Frozen knew how to do this. they want another Let it Go so bad that they forgot what made Let it Go even work.

      Now I got to wonder how a pre-industrialized society figured out the life cycle of stars and genetics. Do they also know about natural selection? Is this a vague religious sentiment or do they actually understand that their planet was formed by the remains of dead stars?
      Anachronistic stuff used to be in Disney movies all the time, but it was always used as a joke more than anything. Haha there's modern consumerist culture in ancient Greece. Haha a genie in old timey Middle East references celebrities that only the audience knows about. And so on. But this isn't presented as a joke. This is something that the king, and potentially society at large, knows about as a fact of their existence.

        $200~250 million production, likely another $100 million for marketing. Potentially significant wrinkle is that Disney didn't buy ads for this on Twitter, which is probably where their stans are most active.
        $600 million in ticket sales is the realistic break-even number. Optimists will say $500m, idiots will say $400m, and astroturfing shills will say $200m. Funny thing is, it's not reaching any of those numbers at its current pace.

      This is not a matter of learning for Disney. The company is thoroughly infested with activists who are content with draining existing equity from the company. They don't care about its performance, they care about keeping their own jobs. That is predicated on supporting their own cabal no matter what.
      The real question is when independent stockholders will wake up and force changes. Right now they're stuck supporting a company that could potentially become a zombie - a company that won't fail or give up market share, yet it doesn't generate any profit. This is why, aside from the manipulation of major index fund managers, the price of Disney has settled at its current range. It's like the current housing market where prices really should have gone down a year ago, but it has stayed high because no one is able to move.
      Disney is just waiting for a buyout.

            I still think it'd do better than Wish, though. It's an objectively pretty movie, the soundtrack is good, the musical numbers are good, and the emotional core is there even if it's weirdly muddled. The plot is a joke and the messages mostly make sense only to Jennifer Lee, but it's a solid 5.5/10 movie. Wish, on the other hand, is legitimately 3/10.

    Disney needs to try something bold and good, without feeling DEI to win back the audience and start a new era for themselves. I think a 2D movie could do that, or if they can pull a classic Pixar movie out of their ass (Brad Bird?) they need to stop with the live action remake slop it is destroying their brand. I have no loyalty to the company but I do want to see good movies, that would be my advice.

              Differentanon, but the obvious thing is to make shit that white men like. Related approaches are to do the opposite of what people who say we need to cater to black women want, and people who say that there's too much white men in media and we need to do something different.

              I mean you have no shortage of shit out there that explicitly says "we made this for black people". Nothing wrong with that. Should be able to do the same for white people, no?

              I'm japanese, so my idea of making shit for white people is Shonen Jump anime adaptations, with hot girls. White American representation is optional, but should be badass if present.

              LMM produces clunkers but he also did How Far I'll go and the Encanto songs which were good.

              I thought those were shit. His best work was Hamilton, but he's not a strong singer.

Women aren't smart or anything it's simply that the OWNERS of White Men aka the israelites have given the order to all men in the USA to support Women's Liberation and Women's Rights and such. And since you can't your owner and master this is the end result.

              Though I will say this men in the US are still stupid and honestly still believe that Feminism came out of nowhere instead of being a top down idea by the israeli Elite.

                (example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ys )

                Not like men all over the planet had the idea to restrict women's rights for nothing, like not because having that extra task of constantly double-checking 50% of the population is so much fricking fun, but because it's a core prerequisite for civilization even working on a basic level.

Take one of Grimm or Andersons stories, remove brutality, replace the ending with a happy one, and presto movie is ready. Then get someone good at making music (and not just popular for popularity sake) to write and record a few nice songs. And a good movie for families in pre christmas time is ready to be watched.

      Eh not really, the movies make a point of pushing just a little bit past what the show does, hence getting the PG rating. Also they were dumb and released their superhero movie in the middle of capeshit fatigue.

      Fiege and Victoria Alonso are responsible for that. The female Avengers scene in endgame was the beginning of the end.

    Nobody is asking for it. Female fighter protagonist can be dealing with her obvious handicap, making her an underdog that has to make up for it with her smarts.
    Which is exactly the kind of protagonist everyone would eat up.

    Unfortunately I feel like the only thing the dipshits at the top will take away from this failure is that animated feature films aren't profitable. Not, you know, that maybe you should concentrate on actually creating a thing before you figure out how you're going to market it.

      Their live action movies flop too. Indiana Jones 5, Ant man 3, the Marvels and Haunted Mansion were box office disasters.

    This movie is almost offensively bland, there's truly nothing to value or take away from it. The songs at best would at least breathe life into it's likeability but if course those are all mild and forgettable. The protagonist doesn't really get any proper desire (in a movie called WISH for god's sake) conveniently written around by her being too young to have a passion yet. Her supporting goat has little charm to offer and most of it was spent through commercials anyway. The star buddy was cute and the yarn gags were charming but it's also sadly as clever as the movie gets; the starboy companion would've been better, would've given them a swing at another Peter Pan/Jack Frost for fans to chew on and perhaps more importantly it would've given the protagonist someone to actually bounce off of instead of a generically supportive goat, an overbudgeted seven dwarves nod, and a silent plushie she's apparently psychically linked to so it doesn't have to get a voice. The villain is confounding because they bothered to give him a bare tragedy that never gets expanded upon so that he's pushed into his corruption, but why would a powerful magic man seeking to make a safe magical haven ever need or want to physically and spiritually capture the desires of newcomers in the first place unless he was already evil or planning on granting them immediately? If he was at least giving asylum to the repentant and deviant by way of pacifying them then the ritual would make some sense as desirable but of course that idea takes more than two seconds of thinking so we railway over it. On that note his pre-corrupted malice is all over the place between "I've never questioned this as wrong before (and never got precedent for thinking it's right) but I'm just gonna stick with it to be safe" and "well I'm the king and the best and narcissistic so you get no say in this (please don't wonder why such a wicked and self-absorbed king would ever have such a generous goal as our very setting).

      Holy hell character limit but I've got more rant bear with me. Post-corruption King (now our proudly stated at-last no-shame pure-evil villain) sort of turns off as a character since now he's just That Thing The Plot Needs To Finish Up. His new motive is Get More Power for... just his ego? He doesn't really have any goals or obligations, and hell if the status quo is still on the table. Stopping him is as simple as his wife suddenly knowing about a hand cream that protects against the book's corruption, and singing a song that allows... Idunno it feels to generous to say the evil defeats itself or is hoisted by its own petard. It allows a reference to the magic mirror and the movie to end I suppose. Anyway moving on to side cast, if they can be called that. Grandpa is our plot-maker to a degree and his Wish is as generic as he wants to inspire people. Said genericness is the excuse for why it can't be granted. Quick tangent, shit move of the movie to (reasonably) address that some wishes can be bad yet of course have no actual wicked desires present. Just lovely citizens with pure dreams. Back to track, the mother is such a non character that we never even see her wish and we barely see her react to it being destroyed. Ironically fitting move since "oh no my unstated wish" is hard to sympathize with. Lastly there's the aforementioned dwarves. Sleepy gets some plot use, his friends think him incredibly dull and stale (somehow just him though), he thought he was fine, and this reasonably pushes him to be desperate for his wish. That minor character progression is all the seven get. Happy is nonexistent, Dopey, Bashful, Sneezy, and Grumpy constantly nod at their origin because what the frick else are they gonna do. Doc has smarts but her greatest character use is being our window to knowing people really wanna frick the king. Wonder if that's ever been a wish he granted. Sure couldn't guess because we never get anything for his wife either. Autismo rant over.

      At least you can reply with this shit to those hyper-delusional coping shills that always default to company lines like

      >Man, Disney REALLY dropped the ball on advertising this :^D I LITERALLY haven't seen any ad for it! Also, we just got out of Covid, so it makes sense it's underperforming! People are just tired of movie theaters and its no longer a valid measurement of popularity! It will make TRILLIONS on Disney+™ streaming YASSS!

      Also i can't believe Disney dropped TWO of their biggest ever theatrical bombs in the very same month. At this rate they're losing anywhere from 500M to 700M JUST from Marvels and Wish. That's fricking insane to think about. Bombs big enough that even the fricking mouse gets hurt by them.

        It's actually 7-days because Wish had a 1 day preview, and 2 day pre-preview showing that brought in 500k, which were added to the Thursday total. Disney tried every trick to goose the first weekend numbers.
