My main point is that none of this will matter over a year from now. These boards give people a skewed perspective of how many people actually care at this point.
They were not initially controversial. It took months for them to be dredged up and spun into outcry fodder.
It may seem that way but its not the reality
There are two different issues.
Honestly, as far as Snow White is concerned, I'm excited to see a movie with accomplished actors and what I'm betting is a solid screenplay.
Why would you bet that? What has Disney produced recently that would give you confidence in this being a solid screenplay?
Exactly. But you're acting like Disney is an innocent victim in the poo-slinging. They're not bystanders in the culture war, they're active participants.
I mean you can see how it might come across as true, right?
They ARE making new stories (Onward, Luca, Strange World, Wish, Elemental). They’re also sitting on established billion-dollar IP that still has strong demand, with plenty more mileage (Star Wars, Marvel, Frozen, Princess and the Frog, Little Mermaid, even Toy Story).
And why do you think that is? Why is Disney spending too much money?
I’m sure it might feel that way to you. You’ve probably been bombarded with messaging that casts much of what Disney does in this light. But not everyone sees things from this perspective, and frankly, I find it tiresome.
Well, yeah, of course not everyone does. If everyone felt the same, there would be no culture war.
I suspect that it isn’t differences of opinions that fuel “culture war,” but rather how those differences are communicated.
The information you have might come from TWDC HR department, but your perspective is shaped by much more than that. Even if you don’t follow Twitter or YouTube or bloggers or podcasts, you have philosophical lens through which you see the world. We all do. The same information can be received and understood in very different ways by people who don’t see the world the way you do.
That's a great question and they need to figure out why their cost are so high to make and market their films!
Universal doesn’t have any negative perceptions nor baggage about their films?
My question wasn’t “how much is Disney spending?” or “how much is Disney losing?” but rather why is Disney spending so much money on its films?
I do not know why Disney is spending so much money on their films. My guess is there is no one looking at the costs , they are just working to get the movies done at any cost, there is no real budget.
When it comes to animation, didn't they say keeping everything in house and US-based costs more than having it done overseas, which is apparently what other companies do? Not making excuses or anything, I just remember this coming up...
Almost no one cares or has a clue about how much was spent to make a movie. But yes, if someone spends money to take their family out to see a movie and it is trash then they will care about that but no one has a clue at this point whether Snow White is going to fall in that category.
