A Spirited Dirty Dozen ...

And now he's reduced to doing crap like Sausage Party.

I don't know that "reduced to" is the right phrasing. Alan Menken is extremely wealthy and still in demand - he chooses his projects. It's not like he's scraping by and had to put his Oscars in hock and take a job on Sausage Party for a paycheck.

I'm convinced that has more to do with Lasseter and the Pixar crew still feeling bitter over the dump he took on "Toy Story" during its production at its lowest point. Menken has a good relationship with the company, but Lasseter would rather work with others like the Lopezes and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

In all fairness, who wouldn't want to work with Lin-Manuel Miranda? I, uh, want to work with him. Polish his shoes, fetch his coffee, walk his dog -- you name it!

This guy. His rap aesthetic and flow aren't for me. His compositions are fine though.

Just to start, right?

Not sure how you know Sausage Party is crap as it doesn't come out until August 12th?

Did someone say sausage party?!

It's an after hours Disney Prince dessert party. Costs $69 per adult.

Script was leaked during the Sony hacks and it's pretty awful. I feel so sorry for the animators that had to animate the food orgy and the scene where a character fingers a rat's .

That was an interesting watch.

I can't.

Recall that much of the construction of the original WWOHP happened during the last recession.

In response to the last recession, Disney offered deep discounts to bring Guests back into the parks. Those huge discounts severely hurt margins, with Disney Parks & Resorts reporting 3 of its 4 lowest margins ever from 2009 to 2011. From 2008 to 2010, domestic revenue fell 6%.

Meanwhile, at Universal, operating margin went from 23.8% in 2009 to 32.8% in 2011. For those same years, revenue increased by 66%.

As Universal demonstrated with WWOHP, new lands with appealing IP's help no matter what the economic climate.

Disney would be wise not to make the same mistake twice.

Don't worry they will double down on their error if history is any indicator.

I can't.

For once, I'm gonna also bow out and give all of this a pass.....

Ahhh, yes you read the entire hacked script. Ok. Moving on....

Didn't hear anyone complain bout that scene...there was only one scene that made people walk out at SXSW involving a very hot topic lately which got people in a huge tizzy but most people who didn't walk out enjoyed it.

I haven't read the whole thing, but 4chan and Tumblr have been picking it apart for months.

'Try the grey stuff, it's delicious', as they say.

Which makes me wonder how the dishes know what it tastes like.....never eating in Beast's castle again.

Pretty sure its an R-rated stoner comedy that is certainly not a Disney film.

Complaining about this is like being shocked Deadpool isn't for kids, the South Park movie has naughty words or that Team America might offend. People need to parent more and not blame it on the movies. They have a rating system, gotta pay attention....
