That sentence will never become easier for me to read ...

Wait ... are Flotsam and Jetsam Ariel's friends too?

That's just dumb. Belle said reading about Prince Charming was her favorite part. And she liked palaces because that's what she liked to read about. Her dream was not to read about an enchanted castle but live in one and that's what she got. I've made that same observation many times. And on some l...

Well, remember that Ariel was also hyped up by Disney to be the first active Disney Princess, too. And not only by Disney, but by reviewers. However, Belle was still praised by Disney for being superior to Ariel. Disney tends to double-dip with these kinds of things. While Disney will play up Ariel...

Disney to ‘focus on quality’ as it plans to cut output – including Marvel movies https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/may/07/disney-bob-iger-movie-output “I’ve been working hard with the studio to reduce output and focus more on quality,” Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, told Wall Street analysts....

Between those four, I'd say Belle is the most overrated, but I still like her just fine (the only princess I'd say I dislike is Merida). I just think that a lot of what people assume about Belle is mostly projection. I also think that while Disney likes to hype her up as the first active Disney Prin...

Today I learned about a 1988 movie called The Bear , and after reading the synopsis on Wikipedia , it struck me how similar Brother Bear 's plot is to this movie's. Now, I'm not saying Disney definitely ripped it off nor does it spoil my enjoyment of Brother Bear , but the similarities are quite un...

It definitely reads to me like he was speaking to The Lion King as a larger mythology while still keeping the animated film as its face, the thing we are here to discuss. I spotlight his response here because it's a bit of a change of pace for the creative team of one of these remakes to build their...

Why couldn't Jenkins have directed the Snow White remake?

I read a description that the framing device of the movie is Rafiki in the present relating the story of Mufasa’s youth to a young Kiara through flashbacks. So I am guessing that’s how Beyoncé and the rest of the cast from the first film will reappear here. I guess that makes sense. Can't decide wh...

Well, to get one thing out the way, Disney is developing an animated Kingdom Hearts movie. While years back I had heard the idea was to do something on Disney+, more recently I have heard the goal would be big screen adaptation, but as of now, these are just rumblings and nothing has been greenlit....

I would have much rather seen Lin do the music for Moana 2, but I generally like him, and I suppose this movie could use all the help it can get. Some of the snapshots of the trailer were interesting, but this whole movie still feels like Disney is just doing someone a favor. Anyways, Beyonce is in ...

I'd imagine they've probably seen several scripts, they just haven't landed on one that Disney likes. What they're even looking for with this remake has probably been in flux over the last few years with Disney needing to rethink how they want to even handle their remake train. Anyways, didn't Ritch...

People also just see Wish, and most of Disney's 2023 output, as an outlet for their general frustration toward the Disney company during its victory lap throughout the 2010s. Everyone who's been saying all along that Disney films are all just syrupy sentiment and no plotting are NOT missing their op...

Disney Scrapped Their Show. An Unlikely Champion Saved It. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/25/arts/television/the-spiderwick-chronicles-roku.html The series originated at Apple TV+ more than five years ago, with Barry Sonnenfeld attached to direct. When Sonnenfeld left in 2020, Coleite replaced him...

I guess it depends on which crowd we're talking about. Underrated by fans, underrated by the general public, underrated by the Disney Company itself, etc. Disney fans have been rallying behind "Hunchback" and "Treasure Planet" as being underrated for years now, such that it doesn...

Finished the first season last night, and I think there's some good stuff here, enough that I'd be willing to follow it across multiple seasons. I enjoyed the books, and the movie, when I was a kid, but I don't think I was ever as obsessed with this property as I was Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, or ...

Sotiris and PatchofBlue, how come you're not excited for Zootopia 2 ? Not judging, just curious! I really loved the first one, and I think the potential for a compelling sequel is certainly there, I just don't have great faith in Disney's ability at the moment, particularly where sequels are concer...
