You're given 300 million to come up with the 100th year celebration of Disney's animation. what would you do?
Fantasia 3.
Unironically this. Bring in folks from across the industry to make something really unique. Use "older" styles to show history of Disney. Don't limit yourself to classical music. You could do something really special.
Fantasia hosted by Disney characters could've worked.
A Mickey movie seems like a no-brainer too. Make it 2D, adapt one of the comics, and find a writer-director team that could actually produce a fitting tribute to the character.
I'd be astonished to see how normalgays react to KH autism on the big screen
They actually did- Incredibles played this summer. It would've been cooler if they released a WDAS film every week of the year though, from Snow White to Encanto. (Some of the package films are less than an hour so you can shove them together.)
Wish wasn't a bad idea at all. In fact, it's a brilliant concept... but the execution was all kinds of fricked.
I think the first issue was telling another princess story using the recycled Disney formula. I think this premise would be more unqiue if it was about the (human) Star. In the oldest Disney films, he might've symbolized an angel, human curiosity, and cosmic ambition- all traits that capture mankind.
>a story that spans the history of animation, beginning with hand-drawn cel scenes, progressing to computer 2-D, and ending up as CGI as Disney's recent stories have been
This is simple, but far more brilliant than I think any animation studio would even attempt nowadays. I'm sure Walt would've done something similar: "the history of wishes, the history of tomorrow," vague, warm inspirational sentiments like that.
I'd write a film that takes place past the clouds in outer space- where all the stars in the night sky live... the land of dreams. It follows the plucky young boy, Star (partly Pinocchio, mostly Mickey) and his apprenticeship to his mentor- a wise, yet stern old man who creates wishes. As he studies under his tutelege and watches humanity grow and change over the span of history, he learns valuable lessons about life, death, morality, and humanity.
The storytelling structure would resemble an anthology film: a combination of Fantasia, Bambi, and The Three Caballeros.
Sequences could include:
>Cultural wishes. The history of wishes around the world! Wish-making traditions and customs.
>Emotional wishes. Wishes based on human feelings: happy desires, sad desires, angry desires, etc.
>Love wishes. Love between families, friends, romantic and platonic. Puppy love, sexy love, unrequited love, lost love... love is complicated. Star falls for an Earth girl, but they will never meet: they are from different worlds.
>Greedy wishes. A rags-to-riches parable about a poor man with eyes bigger than his stomach.
>Weird wishes. Star gets mischevious and grants wishes that turn our world into surrealist chaos. A ramped-up Pink Elephants, and a (not-so)-stern reminder of why our world is the way it is.
>Evil wishes... human nightmares and atrocities: war, famine, death, destruction. Sometimes, bad wishes come true, too...
>Good wishes for the world of tomorrow. A sequence that celebrates human achievement and good morals here, and yet to come.
Frick yeah, I honestly miss animated anthology films
I was gonna say a movie with Mickey and friends, but this is much better idea.
this. they had the chance and went with political garbage
As much of a genius idea this is, they would have fricked up somehow.
Fantasia 2 didn't even do well, they'll never go back to that.
They fricked up Fantasia 2 with useless celebrity cameos, how would they mess up Fantasia 3?
>lame music choice
>boring animation
>bad themes
never underestimate Disney's ability to make shit
Mickey Mouse The Movie
I remember reading somewhere that Disney did a survey at the parks or at a movie theater to ask the public what they thought of Mickey. While a majority of people said they liked the shorts and his role in the parks, a lot of people also said they probably couldn't stand to listen to him talk for an entire 2-hour movie.
i do not want your money ai lyle
Kingdom Hearts. No DEI frickery.
>I don't want any woke shit, please just give me anime/Disney fanfic
Open the fricking vault. They probably have billions of dollars worth of material collecting dust.
Immediately spend it all to kill the AI slop generators so no one has to see these ugly ego "art" larp images ever again.
5 hour animated film of e-girl disney princess rule 34
I stage a nominal Disney celebration event in my local park for as cheap as possible and then I run away with the rest of the money.
There's no contract here. They just gave me $300 million and said I should do the 100th year celebration. What are they gonna do, hunt me down?
Rerelease the iconic films in theaters. Snow White, Little Mermaid, etc. The Mouse should’ve done that and rolled in the money.
I'd probably do Wish. Take the recognizable imagery from some of the earliest Disney material like the star and spin it into its own fantasy story that informs the other works.
But I'd probably make it good, I'd probably write the music with little motifs from the earlier songs (like the When You Wish Upon a Star motif Disney use for their logo) and I'd probably make it a 2D animation. Or better yet, a story that spans the history of animation, beginning with hand-drawn cel scenes, progressing to computer 2-D, and ending up as CGI as Disney's recent stories have been, maybe culminating in a live action climax. Run the full gamut of Disney history.
Or I'd give it to Joseph Kosinski and let him make Tron 3.
I suppose they had planned the Snow White liveaction instead of Wish, other than that, that looks like shit, Fantasia 3 or Kingdom Hearts are the easiest shits to do.
Why would Disney give $300 million to some random stranger who spends their time on Cinemaphile?
How would you feel if you didn’t eat breakfast today anon
It’s called a hypothetical, dingus.
2hr furry Maid Marian and Robin Hood porno. End with a live action recreation of Lowtax's suicide and, "You could have prevented this," end title crawl.
Can I ask a question that may seem stupid? How does Disney, one of the largest companies in the world, not simply have a stream of R&D and smaller animated projects constantly going? I thought it was proven that this was the most effective way to keep innovation going in all other industries.
They used to have the imagineers, but the HR department and legal took that budget.
The old guard who knew how to actually run a business sustainably was replaced with diversity hires and neopo-babies who want to push their ideas despite the lack of interest from the audience
If you look at their movies as ads for IP products where they make all their money, Disney not giving a rat's ass how good or prolific their movie studios are makes depressing sense.
None of the shit they make is appealing, especially to a global audience.
Embezzle.
Spend money and time designing new original mascot character. Make a mickey mouse movie in house of mouse style, fans lover the wreck it ralph disney princess scene, this is that but the whole movie. Mickey meets an aspiring young actor who wants to be a famous cartoon just like him, it's our new mascot. Mickey and mascot work together to accomplish his dream through trials and tribulations. We reflect on the past 100 years but also now have a look at where we're going forward.
Use russian folklore
The image of baba yaga's chicken-leg house is just too good. It's whimsical, eerie, magical.
Basically a setting that's familiar enough to be comfortable but alien enough to have a sense of danger.
That being said, don't know which russian tale I'd use.
Also the princess would be curvy
I was also thinking of going with a Vasilisa the Beautiful adaptation, just lean into the spooky as a callback to Snow White. If children aren't coming out of the movie with nightmares that Babayaga is going to force them to clean her house then we ain't doing it right.
>Vasilisa the Beautiful
That's a good one.
It's close to Cinderella (wicked stepmother, cruel step-sisters), has a built in companion (the doll), has horror elements, and a journey into the magical unknown (Baba Yaga's hut)
you could probably change one knights riding in-and-out to include the Tzar so you can build in romance without doing the rest of the story after she's cast out from Baba Yaga's domain.
I'd make a traditional 2d film by teaching cgi babies to rotoscope the 3d animation. Based on the fact that the animation for Wish only cost 75 mil of the 250mil budget(without marketing) this would be maybe 100mil, put 50mil into textures, 50mil into the voice and songs, 100mil into marketing.
It would be an hour and a half romance of King Thrushbeard. The king is a hot guy with his funky beard and clean-shaven under dirt as the beggar, the princess starts as a hoity-toity girlboss b***h and gets broken into being a better person through learning the terrors of poverty and learning humility. Her first song is a villian song ala Let It Go about how selfish she is. The song vibes are My Chemical Romance type rock songs. There's a scary scene in middle where the king/beggar has to save her from some merchants who tricked her into believing they were taking her back to her home country.
>The king is a hot guy
A male lead without a bulbous tumor nose in modern day? Preposterous, along with the rest of that idea, but props on actually budgeting it
Revival of 2D handrawn animation. A Mickey Mouse centric project. A new Marvel Animated Universe. Maybe a Kingdom Hearts animated series, in 2D with the Disney characters looking literally like they did in original 2D form.
>Revival of 2D handrawn animation
Can’t. Not enough skilled animators left to deliver theater-quality animation.
>2 and a half hour movie following a family of anthropomorphic animals over the course of a century, with shifting artsyles according to the time period
>A famous actor from the silent film era dies in the late 50s and his estranged daughter tries to figure out what happened as the studio, his mistress and other antagonists moves to steal all his shit. Parodies Citizen Kane a bit so we can get 20-30s style animated sequences as flashbacks.
>Her son is an animator in the mid 80s trying to pitch what's basically the little mermaid to studios who don't give a frick, saying a inimation is a dead medium only good for oriental pornography, while painting posters for movies and musicals his girlfriend plays secondary roles in to get by and listening to his mother telling him to go back to college, learn computer science and start a business like his brother did. One of those cheap stories about following your dreams.
>Last few scenes are about this guy's niece attending her grandmother 's funeral, inheriting a cardboard box full of random shit, and studying her great-grandfather's tapdancing demos while writing inverse kinematics code for toy story 4 and being optimistic about the future
It'd suck ass but it'd have the century part and there are female characters to make toys out of
If they don't want a Mickey film ever give the 100th anniversary to Donald and have him lead a film with his subset of supporting characters
Total troony death.
Put Robin Hood(1973) in theaters and officially make Maid Marian a Disney princess.
>turns another generation of kids into furries
A tasteful Who Framed Roger Rabbit world rules documentary about the production and onset experiences of Disney shorts through the fab five's perspective. The thing is though it's revealed that every era had a different Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto. The end of the film is all of them at the wrap party of the documentary.
Make 3 traditionally animated movies with that 300 million
GOOD MORNING, SIR
Actually I would just redo this movie. I'd want to rub it in their faces that they could have done something good but they were too stupid to do it.
>they published an entire book of better ideas
I just don't get why they would do that to themselves
spend 200 million of that on theatrical rereleases of a bunch of the classic Disney and Pixar films, pocket the remainder
