Sure they should, that's not what I was saying. I don't think that's the property to do it with. I love PatF but if Disney is going to spend the money to bring back 2d, I just don't think PatF is going to move the needle.
I mean it might be the property to do it with if Disney can continue to build on Tiana’s popularity with her new ride at Disney Parks and by getting her OG movie more into the public eye by pushing it more on Disney+ like they did with Moana, Frozen, Zootopia, and Encanto.
You’re not getting hand drawn animation back by saddling a movie with an incredibly bloated budget and setting it up for failure.
Do t you get it? The film that functionally killed hand drawn animation is going to bring it back with a vengeance after being stuck in development hell as a TV series for years in time for Thanksgiving 2029
We’ll see.
That film didn’t kill hand-drawn animation.
No one film really killed hand animation…. Less and less films were being done in that format… it was only a matter of time computer generated would take over… as everyone was already headed in that direction
At least more hand-drawn animated films are being made with that anime Lord of the Rings movie, The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, Fixed, and Light of the World.
Yes…. I don’t think Hand drawn will ever be completely dead…. It will continue to be a viable artform… but I would expect it will be mostly computer generated from the major studios
Well, the best we can and must do now is ask Disney and push for them, through the power of social media, to put out one, JUST ONE, fully 2D/hand-drawn animated movie before the end of this decade, and The Princess and the Frog 2 in Thanksgiving 2029, if they turn Tiana’s Disney+ series into that theatrical film, is our best and only option of hope for that to happen. So, if we wanna make that happen, we have to act now.
Um, are you okay? I mean, I would love to see Disney do a hand drawn animated film, but I think we’ll let Disney just keep Tiana as a series. I mean, I‘m upset that PATF didn’t do Disney Renaissance numbers at the box office, but I don’t think turning Tiana the series into a movie sequel is necessary. Just let it go, dude!
No, Wade. I cannot in good conscience do that.
Disney leaning into the Disney brand.
Interesting crossover marketing.
I'm frustrated by how Disney corporate won't learn the right lessons from this film's (and Inside Out 2's) huge financial success -- namely to properly capitalize on their familiar properties with high-quality work and to use those successes to keep creating high-quality new films that can become just as beloved down the line. Instead they'll be convinced that they only need to do "good enough" work and undiscriminating audiences will show up regardless if it's a familiar brand, and that they don't have to do anything new or heaven forbid risky.
What makes you think they won’t try anything new or risky?
Original movies either were critical and commercial duds (Strange World, Wish) or were financial flops due to being sent straight to streaming (Soul, Luca, Turning Red) or people deciding to wait for streaming (Raya, Encanto). Even something like Elemental merely "broke even" rather than become a massive hit.
