Re: Toy Story 5

And there's another thing that confuses me. If so many people really want original IPs from Disney and Pixar so badly, from what I can see on social media, then why didn't they go see Elio? How did it end up having the lowest opening in Pixar history? The cynic in me has a lot of thoughts about the...

Re: Toy Story 5

Who cares, as long as the movie is good? I agree. I've liked all the films so far, although admittedly I enjoyed 4 less than the first three. I guess I find it pointless to complain about sequels because they're not going away. And I guess I personally do enjoy getting new content of the same group...

Re: Elio

So I’m hearing Elio might be tracking to earn a $35-45 million opening weekend. I solemnly swear if people don’t show up for this movie and they announce a Toy Story 6 as a result, I’m going to be so mad. Everyone complains that Disney these days only does sequels and live action remakes and demand...

Re: Wish

How do you know that? As far as I know, there is no concrete evidence from Disney or its creators explicitly stating that Star was made to sell toys. Because Star has much more merchandise that other characters from the film. Obviously they are not going to say it but it's quite obvious that they m...

Re: Wish

Star was literally the only likeable character in the movie. No lines, but he stole the show. Star was the best thing for the movie. It was a character made to sell toys How do you know that?

Re: Moana 2

The only thing I'll say is...I'm scared :huh: The fact that this was supposed to be the Moana sequel series on Disney+ and is suddenly now going to be a feature length movie just for Disney to "course correct" is so concerning since the story might have such a downgrade. It's Megamind 2 a...

Re: Moana 2

The prospect of having 4 years of sequels in the pipeline with Moana 2, Zootopia 2 and Frozen 3 and possibly 4 is just not creatively interesting... at all! Especially not considering that they are doing a live action remake of the original Moana, coming out soon. It just reeks of a total lack of v...

"Damage control"? If only more people went to see non-sequels like Strange World and Wish.

Re: Wish

Julia Michaels Wrote the Theme Song for ‘Wish’ Before the Script Even Existed https://variety.com/2023/artisans/awards/julia-michaels-wrote-wish-theme-song-before-script-existed-1235820323/ This explains a lot. I don't think this is a new thing, even for movies generally considered "good."

Re: Wish

Complaining about lots of Disney references being shown in a movie that's made to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company is like complaining about plants being green. What's the point?

Why exactly? It's an original story with fairytale elements, not based on a pre-existing material.
So is Enchanted.

Re: Wish

Then again, critical reaction doesn't seem to indicate financial success. Case in point: The Super Mario Bros Movie , which got mixed reviews, just like Wish did. It turned out to be a major smash hit. Elemental , same situation. It started off weak, then got better as it went along. Elemental was ...

They aren't copying Spider-Verse. It doesn't look anything like it.
