Live-action Aladdin 2 isn't happening. Will Smith made sure of that. Disney will never be associated with a violent man.

Sequels are not automatically uncreative. Also Aladdin 2? When was the last time we heard something about that?

Just because nothing’s been said doesn’t mean it it’s cancelled, right? If that logic is good enough for you to claim a BTM movie is still on, it can apply here, too.

Well back in 2023 before he delete his twitter account Aladdin himself suggested it had been permanently shelved -

m.imdb.com

Aladdin 2's Rumored Cancellation Gets Candid Response From Live-Action Disney Star: "Life Just Goes On" - IMDb

IMDb, the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content.

So unless they are planning to do an Aladdin sequel without Aladdin I think it’s pretty much cancelled until otherwise stated.

That is the difference between it and a BTMRR movie, no one has come out to say it’s probably not happening.

You can understand why they are making a sequel to Coco. This company is creatively bankrupt. They've fired or let go of most of the creative people they had. So they are only able to do films based on their old stuff. Back when they had people with working brains.

If they try to do something new we end up with things like Strange World, Wish and Elio.

Anyone who follows people from the industry could tell you that there has been a purge from Hollywood in the last 10 years or so and they started hiring Tumblrers instead, which is why most movies have been terrible lately, and not just from Disney, but in general.

The irony of how much complaining there was about Pixar being bankrupt of good ideas and a sequel factory when Coco released is not lost on me.

We were eating good at that time and no one recognized it well. Inside Out, Moana and Coco are massive pillars.

I'm uncomfortable with the possibility of them using Día de Muertos again. The first time went well, but a second time makes me uneasy from my perspective as a Mexican.

Why? I’m not trying to be rude. I’m genuinely curious.

The fact that it's an unnecessary sequel, created only to squeeze out money, makes it seem like it might lose the respect that the first movie had. In a way, it brings back the same concerns that arose when the original was just a rumor. Plus, it doesn’t help that, in recent years, Día de Muertos has become something aesthetic, where much of the weight and diversity with which different cultures in Mexico celebrate it ends up being erased, just to make it look "pretty." In the end, it's something intimate and sacred, and I’m not saying it’s going to be bad, but it's natural to feel discomfort and fear.

Honestly this is pretty cynical for a 22 year old about a just announced sequel without any further details. I get this is how you feel but I don't see at this point why this wouldn't be another celebration that honors the culture of the day for the family in which the story is being told, just like the original.

Also why would this "erase" any other cultures outside of the one depicted in the story? Did the first one do that? Those still exist and continue to be celebrated by those cultures outside of the movie. So I don't see how its "erasing" anything. Especially not in the areas where I see it being celebrated every year.

I think this fear while I respect it, is a bit premature.

I understand that it might seem premature, which is why I’m also referring to what happened back in 2013 when the rumors started about "Disney wanted to copyright Día de Muertos." That situation triggered a visceral reaction. I’m not saying that a movie can directly erase cultures, but it’s more about placing things in a broader context. The celebration continues, of course, but over the years, there’s been a subtle shift where tourism and commercialization have pushed the tradition toward a more standardized version. It’s in the little things — like mixing traditions that people wouldn’t normally combine or encouraging the use of specific decorations instead of the traditional ones.
For example, I’m from a small town in Mexico City, and we celebrate it in a very specific way. But in recent years, there’s been pressure for people to dress a certain way, and cemeteries that used to be decorated in a traditional style are now made to look like a copy of Michoacán. Again, this is more about providing context about what’s happening across the country and how these changes naturally put me on alert.
