The more puzzling thing is how it got that score on the first place. It wasn't good at all. It was a really bad effort for something that should have been such a big deal.

I am what they call a princess and the frog apologist. That said, you are right on the money. My youngest loves frogs. She has a closet full of frog outfits, dozens of stuffed animals, had a pet frog for over 4yrs. If its a frog item she probably has it. But she doesn't care about this movie, at all. For some reason it hasn't been able to break through. So Another film, especially hand drawn, would probably not go over so hot. I just don't see it becoming something that get a significant following.
Well, they should still try once more. But rather than have Tiana turn into a frog again, maybe have Tiana’s journey to Maldonia be aided by talking frogs who she can speak to and understand after being turned into a frog for some time.

Maybe call the sequel… The Princess and The Frogs or Princess Tiana and the Frogs.

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.

All I’m suggesting is Disney change it from a Paperman-style (but in color)-animated series for Disney+ into a fully theatrical, fully 2D/hand-drawn animated feature film to give the medium of hand-drawn animation on the big screen at Disney one last chance to prove itself worthy of continuing in the eyes of the people and in the eyes of Disney execs too. But also, they should delay it to Thanksgiving 2029 to give it the needed time to get all the legacy Disney hand-drawn animators back to work on it, get the tech needed to make it happen, and make sure the switch from series to movie is handled carefully and at an appropriate pace, a pace that won’t overwork or rush animators to near-death, as we saw with the reports that came out on Across The Spider-Verse, Kung Fu Panda 4, and Inside Out 2.
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.

The budget won’t be bloated if they make the change now and plot it on a date where Avatar won’t overshadow it like last time, especially since they only just started production on Tiana just 3 months ago at D23 that they may be able to change course quickly while also making sure they don’t rush this and hold it off til Thanksgiving 2029 before it’s too late.

That film didn’t kill hand-drawn animation.

It was Winnie the Pooh (2011) that iced it, not killed it, because Disney stupidly spoiled all of it by releasing it early in the UK and releasing it next to a film that would bury it in Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 like how Treasure Planet was buried under Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

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.

We need to keep up the momentum and call on Disney to follow suit with Tiana/The Princess and the Frog 2.

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.

Well, Disney clearly made the right FINANCIAL decision by switching the film from a series to a movie, as they will likely gain at least a billion dollars.

My frustration continues to be that they should have never attempted the TV series to begin with, and Moana 2 should have been conceived as a theatrical venture from the start and have had Lin Manuel Miranda's involvement.

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?
