In this case, I agree that audiences don't know this individual let alone who he was playing. I disagree that general audiences don't usually know who the actors who voice animated characters are because whenever there's a big celebrity, the studios go out of their way to make sure everyone...

Demi Moore was not playing the role of a teenager or minor. Her character was specifically designed to be sexy and more womanly than previous Disney heroines. In the Hunchback commentary, the directors even say that unlike past Disney heroines, Esmeralda has "been around." A lot of the direction...

All the Disney Channel stars who went wild weren't hired because of their antics. They engaged in those antics after they had already established themselves as Disney stars, and often it was directly because they wanted to shed that Disney wholesome image. Another good example is Vanessa...

I also want to point out that while Dreamworks has a long history of mocking Disney, at least they've never gone as far as constantly deriding their own movies like Disney does. They have respect for their own library at least.

Do they stand up to the test of time? Because there are people who would like nothing better than Snow White to be cancelled. When Splash Mountain got cancelled, I saw Disney moms on social media saying the Pinocchio ride should be next because Disney is advocating for keeping children in cages...

You do realize that any movie, specifically an animated movie, takes years to make? WIR2 was greenlighted while Lasseter was in charge. It didn't suddenly get announced and put into production the second he was fired and released after only one full year of work. In fact there are interviews...

I can understand that but I also think it's unrealistic for every legacy character to get a happy ending, especially considering how most Star Wars characters end up. Out of the main trio, Han always seemed the most expendable especially considering that his cliffhanger ending in TESB was...

Apparently Iger's not a fan of extended editions hence why under his regime, Disney movies never got their extended versions released on Blu-Ray or 4K. That's why we never got Pocahontas on Blu-Ray with If I Never Knew You. Same reasons why the Blu-Rays of the Muppet Christmas Carol and Bedknobs...

This is an older post but I feel the need to comment. Harrison Ford wanted Han Solo to die since way back in ROTJ. He agreed to come back for TFA provided his character would be killed off once and for all since he felt there was nothing left for Han's character. If we wanted to see Harrison...

It wasn't a rumor. It was from an official article that was released characterizing Lasseter's problematic behavior. Forgive me for not saving every article I've ever read so I can back up a random fact years later.

I don't think anyone was a fan of those movies lol. Bolt in particular felt like a generic animated movie that any studio could have made.

Raya I actually liked although didn't love. It had too much story that would have worked in a series but not a 2 hour movie. I enjoyed Wreck-It Ralph until that abominable sequel and Zootopia was decent. The Frozen films have always benefited from audiences enjoying more what the movie stands...

Pocahontas has a much better reception in Europe and Asia. In some European countries, there isn't a Big 4 but a Big 5 including Pocahontas. For that matter, Hunchback also did much better overseas and has a much warmer reception there than in puritanical America.

Like I said, I'm glad you enjoyed it but I don't find it funny or respectful at all. Especially after years of the media dragging the princesses, particularly the classic ones and Disney responding to those criticisms in the most tone-deaf ways. But that entire movie came in with the the worst...

It was a very different time then. 3D was booming (in part because of Avatar's success) and Marvel was just in its infancy and certainly not running the box office. The biggest blockbusters back then had been franchises like Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lord of the Rings, or kids movies like...

That's nice that you were able to feel that way. I thought it was mean-spirited and has the same tired jokes you see online like Aurora always falling asleep, because we all haven't heard of that before. It felt like the Disney Princess Pocket Princesses online which is fine for fan content but...

I read it on another Disney forum years ago when the movie came out, which coincided with Lasseter's decline, so I have no link to it.

I agree with you. I loved Luca and I enjoyed Onward a lot more than I thought I would considering I had very low expectations. That being said, even Pixar has lost its overall consistency. As for Disney Animation itself, if more than the entire last decade of their movies was erased from...

I remember there was a push for Zoe Saldaña to be nominated for the first Avatar movie. I can't see Hollywood nominating a motion-capture performance (they've snubbed Andy Serkis as well), but Saldaña netting a nomination would have been well-deserved. It doesn't look like Kate Winslet or...

That formula worked for the The Mitchells vs the Machines, which I've frankly enjoyed more than any Disney movie from the past few years. Even though it centers on the whole family, the core relationship is between the daughter and the father and she's also gay.
