I'll admit, as someone who's had no interest in this, that the music is quite good. I might check it out after all. I still hate the overall look of the movie (the CGI animals lack the emotion of the animated characters), but maybe there will be an interesting story to tell after all. They...

Kraven was very bad and dumb, but I had a fun time with it. Like Madame Web, it often ventured into unintentional comedy territory.

I'm surprised it wasn't nominated for an Oscar. Maybe if it had a theatrical release with Wish it might have done better?

That's why I said I'm not worried about the script, dude.

It doesn't fill me with confidence. Although my concern with the Mufassa movie isn't Jenkins or the script, but the decision to with the hyper realistic CGI style of the 2019 movie that robbed that film of its emotion.

I think the Wild Robot (or some other movie) will win the Oscar over Inside Out 2. I do think Inside Out 2 is worth of a nomination, however, for Best Animated Feature. Unlike Moana 2, Inside Out 2 is actually a good movie.

Even if the Princess and the Frog was a financial disappointment, Tiana at least sells a lot of merch (likely do to being the only official Black princess). I'm not sure how much merch Asha sells.

There was an article quoting the voice actor about Wade's sibling/sister being nonbinary, but it's NEVER stated in the movie that the character is nonbinary. Furthermore, Wade uses "her" as a pronoun to discuss the nonbinary character in question.

I don't think Elemental counts as that queer character was blink and you miss it. Strange World had decent-ish gay representation, although because the movie as a whole was rather bad/bland, it unfortunately didn't have the impact it should have. To date, I think Nimona on Netflix is the...

That's why I was so frustrated about all of the original movies being hampered by COVID and being sent straight to Disney plus. Strange World was bad and Wish was — at best — blandly passable. But Soul, Luca, Turning Red, Raya and the Last Dragon, Encanto and Elemental were all good or great...

This is a fine short-term strategy, but Disney still needs to create new movies so that it can potentially launch future franchises. Disney wouldn't have gotten the profits of Moana 2 without first taking the chance on the then-unknown/original IP "Moana" back in 2016.

If Disney were to attempt hand-drawn animation in theaters again, it wouldn't be in a follow up project to a movie that underperformed in 2009. I say this as someone who prefers The Princess and the Frog to Moana. While the Princess and the Frog is more appreciated today than it was back in...

I have somewhat come around Maleficient in recent years after being appalled by the creative bankruptcy of an almost shot-for-shot remake like 2019's The Lion King. However, back in 2014, I hated the movie as it was not at all what I wanted out of a Maleficent movie. I do think Cruella is a...

For a long time I wondered why this trend of reframing the villain as a hero didn't bother me with Wicked and why it did for Maleficent and Cruella. And I think I finally figured it out! Wicked (the movie) is made by an entirely different company from the film studio that made the classic 1939...

Which is what Disney did previously with Wish.

I personally think in a world in which COVID never happened, Raya and the Last Dragon would have been a big box office hit. The visuals really wowed me on the big screen, but most never got that experience.

I'm not sure what you are talking about, I gave Wish a pretty balanced review last year. Here is what I initially posted in November 2023 after I first saw the film: Upon reflection I probably think Wish is more of a 6/10 film than a 7/10, but it's still not the disaster people act like it is.

I love No one Mourns the Wicked, Dancing Through LIfe, Defying Gravity, As Long as You're Mine, No Good Deed and For Good. The Wizard and I, What is this Feeling, Popular and I'm Not That Girl are all pretty good. I could take or leave the rest of the songs. Hamilton and Les Miserables are...

The top three are the only ones I actively dislike, the rest I just think are weaker compared to Disney's other movies. I actually think Chicken Little tells a better story than Moana 2, but I dislike it more because the movie is just so mean-spirited and the animation is ugly. It's just a...

If I were to rank the bottom 15 Disney movies (from Worst to best) 1. Home on the Range 2. Chicken Little 3. Saludos Amigos 4. Ralph Breaks the Internet 5. Make Mine Music 7. Melody Time 8. Moana 2 9. Dinosaur 10. Strange World 11. Bolt 12. Fun and Fancy Free (Mickey and Beanstalk is great...
