Another 5 seconds of searching, I know a whole 10 seconds out of your day must be exhausting, would have shown you that a new Michelin restaurant was opening up in that location called Nightingale sometime this year, hopefully it has by now.

It was originally a Disney movie under Blue Sky before being cancelled due to delays.
Except if Elemental was not well received then the same people that had an issue with the blink and you miss it kiss in Lightyear would of taken issue with the blink and you miss it non binary character in Elemental.. those that have biases go after low hanging fruit…. The real issues of Stranger World and Lightyear not succeeding did not have anything to do with lbgtq+ representation
That's correct. But remember, this was all about my response to why people here have issues/complain about sequels. The overall reception to Moana 2 is mediocre. That doesn't mean everyone hates it. You can tell it was a Frankensteins monster just pieced together from something else. So yes I don't think it's a worthy sequel.
Again I think we agree. I was responding to "everyone complains" about sequels and Disneys originals all flopped. So when I say no one wants originals, that was a general statement based on what was being insinuated. I think you are right with they won't take the risk to see an original. Because that's exactly what I said. Disney has a poor track record with originals. That's why people are staying away. Not because they don't want them. That was the whole point of what I said. And what you are saying reaffirms my point.
I get that. There are many many people that will just go see Moana because, Moana! I'll push back on them giving the public what they want. They aren't really. People don't want a mediocre at best sequels. Yea people get to see their favorite characters. But when it's mediocre to poor, it devalues everything else. It's a slow erosion. Disney is supposed to be better than, it's Elsa, no one will care if it's meh.

Nightingale is opening a second location in Yaletown | Eat & Drink
Dished received confirmation that Nightingale will be opening in Yaletown at the former location of Yaletown Distillery Bar + Kitchen.
After it was confirmed that part of the overworking of the animators on Inside Out 2 was their having to reanimate scenes so absolutely no one would even think Riley's admiration of Val was a queer crush because corporate higher-ups blamed Lightyear's failure on The Kiss, and they decided not to air an episode of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur because it focused on the transgender girl character, I seriously doubt we will see a Disney animated feature with queer characters of honest significance. (Scraps of representation as in Elemental are so easy to cut.) Disney has long tended towards the reactionary in their creative choices, and after all the mud slung at them for tossing out a few diversity crumbs there's no incentive for them to change, especially not right now.
Sorry, I haven’t been following. What sources confirmed the reanimation and decision not to air? Doesn’t Disney usually keep that information close?
Without knowing any of this, I still read it as a potentially queer crush back when I first saw it, so however much they may have suppressed that dynamic (and I have no idea if they actually did), it was still evident to some of us:
At this point, representations of queerness have become so mainstream that one would have to be wilfully reactionary to avoid them. Disney has certainly never led the way in terms of progressivism (it generally waits until it's safe to join the tide), but neither can it be called reactionary (at least according to standard dictionary definitions). We live in a world where major retail stores are filled with rainbow merch during Pride, where gay characters have featured in mainstream family shows and films (including ones made by Disney) for well over a decade, and where gay marriage is legal in many countries. The genie cannot be put back into the bottle (or the closet) at this point. Disney would be marking itself as a truly retrograde outlier if it tried to resist the inevitable for any significant length of time.
Variety claims $240M, and Forbes claims $269.4M. So who knows which is correct as reshoot budgets aren’t public usually. However none of those take into account the UK tax rebate that Disney got, which lowers the price tag by $55.5M bringing even the top end to $213.9M.
Has Disney in recent years marketed their own rainbow merch during Pride including in the Parks?
I don't know if they market it as such, but they certainly sell it, both online and in the parks. They even have merchandise with the trans flag on it.
It is right on their Instagram, so I would call that marketing -
