Ideally with songs.
I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, but I would make Lin-Manuel Miranda this generation's Alan Menken and just drop $5 million on his doorstep every two years.

There is some classic scifi animation out there. However it is mostly Japanese anime and usually not aimed at children.
However, Studio Ghibli has some great animated scifi and fantasy. They don't need princesses.

American audiences do not want Japanese content unless it's Mario.

That explains the lack of popularity for the Daiso stores, video games, Godzilla, Totoro and Hello Kitty. People hate sushi.

What the hell are Daiso and Totoro?

Even Studo Ghibli with am assist from Disney is still somewhat niche. Everyone knows The Little Mermaid, but how much name recognition is there for Spirited Away outside of anime fans?

Studio Ghibli is pretty weird (by American standards), and tells stories from a non-American traditional cultural perspective.
Now if Disney would replace what few trams remain with a Catbus....

I agree with cap to an extent. Most Japanese content isn't mainstream popular. That doesn't mean it isn't popular. It has its following for sure. But if you are looking for that mega blockbuster, it probably isn't coming from Japanese content like anime. Godzilla only did 200mil domestic and the sequel half of that. Ghost in the shell did like 40mil. Video games have the most success overall. Mario, Sonic, Final fantasy, Pokemon... All very successful. But like most video games, have struggled with the transition to film. Personally I think Mario will do well. Will it finally break the video game film trend? I hope so. But even a film based on Pokemon wasn't a barn burner. And I figured that would have killed it.

As expected with the lowest CinemaScore in the history of Disney animation, the forecast for Strange World's second weekend looks bleak. This is why studios focus so strongly on the exit scores as they historically are a strong predictor of whether a film will have sustained legs or quickly disappear.
Even with no new family films entering the marketplace, Box Office Pro has a weekend on 4,000+ screens of only $5.9M or a drop of 50%+ off of its historically poor opening. Note that Box Office Pro has overestimated this film's performance at every stage to date as expectations for this film have no floor.

Weekend Box Office Forecast: Violent Night Courts Holiday Sleeper Appeal, But Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Will Wear a 4th Crown
This year's Thanksgiving slump will give way to an early December lull, but Violent Night hopes to provide a small spark of positivity for theaters.

Sonic and Sonic 2 did really well. Both did better than every Disney/Pixar animated movie released in the last few years.

OMG! Violent Night looks fantastic!! It's like Die Hard with Santa.

Well it did win Best Animated Movie at the 2003 Oscars. It beat out Ice Age, Treasure Planet and Lilo & Stitch.

They did do well, I liked them a lot. But they still only did 148 and 190mil domestic respectively. Better than lightyear and strange world for sure. But not setting the states on fire. And again, that's not a bad thing. That's the main ish stream stuff, and its still not blockbuster status.

Nice! You took the kids?
That's a real shame because suburban Ohio only had nice things to say about you!

One thing we can all agree on. The parks will be the one to get stuck with the bill.

You guys don't get how BIG anime and manga have become. Manga is outselling american superhero comics by a LARGE margin. The young people (and millennials) eat it up!

I wonder how Disney animation historians would classify this era. Post revival? Chapeak era?

Is this the "official" way these eras recognized? I feel like the Golden era just took a break during the war time era. I think they should have the Golden Era pick back up with Cinderella through Sleeping Beauty.
