That was a miracle. If Moana 2 turns out as good as Toy Story 2 I'll be thrilled. But the fact that it was originally intended to be a Disney Plus show and was just reworked at the last minute has me VERY worried. I would feel 10x better about it if it was meant to be a movie from the start.
Was actually reworked a little after the failure of Wish and the debate over if Disney Animation should risk rushing Zootopia 2 or risking their next original movie of WDAS bomb in 2024, so they chose turning Moana’s series into a theatrical sequel instead.
And I think that's a problem. Instead of the decision to change it to a movie being "this is really good and I think this could work really well as a movie" it was "oh crap Wish failed what can we do make to a quick buck".
Both things could’ve been said at the same time.
I thought about that, but times were very different then so I don't if it translates. Disney didn't do theatrical sequels and Pixar was in its infancy. Disney/Pixar has made many sequels since then and Moana has been a huge hit. Making a theatrical sequel from the beginning was certainly a viable option.
As much as I hope Moana 2 will do well at the box office, butI don't think it'll be the end of WDAS. Even if Moana 2 didn't do well at the box office, Zootopia 2, Frozen 3, and 4 will be their secret weapons. After all, Frozen and Zootopia are Disney's money makers.Look dude, I'm concerned with WDAS as you are, but I don't think iit's the end of WDAS. I think Moana 2 will be a box office success, because it's popular of DisneyPlus. As for Tiana, I don't think turning Tiana turning it to a movie sequel is necessary, even if it's hand drawn animated (which I'm starting to doubt that if it's hand drawn animated.) Besides, you don't want to do the same thing like I did, when I got upset when Wish flopped at the box office. I have minor anxiety attacks and it's not pretty. I just don't want you to go through the same thing like I did. Also, the article you read, it's not that Pixar will not survive, Pixar is just cleaning house to fix the mistakes they made like Lightyear. So, you need to stop worrying about Pixar and WDAS and just enjoy their classics whether they're hits or flops. So, try not to worry about it, okay? And try not to be too obsessed about hand drawn animation.
Well, we’ve gotta try with every shot we get to bring it back.
What about Wish's Box Office results?
Of good I was worried it would be rated R.
Watch your mouth, chump.Of good I was worried it would be rated R.
I much prefer this character design to what Pixar is doing with Win or Lose and Elio. It still has the cringy reactions that we get in every Disney movie. The art style is still the same as the original movie so they didn't try something new. If you got a kid that likes the first one, they will like this one too. It's pretty harmless. It's not high on must see theater movies. I think it could wait for Disney+.
I didn't say they looked cringy. "It" refers to Moana and her over the top Disney reactions to everything. However Elio's character design isn't exactly pretty compared to rest of the industry. Moana 2's characters look far more detailed.
