Maybe they're saving the dragon until the teaser drops.

I know the movie is supposed to be set/inspired by South East Asia... But this landscape is Guilin, China.
That's clearly Moon Hill inspired. Odd.

I have the uneasy feeling that the bear/bug thing is gonna be yet another non-talking animal sidekick that acts like a dog. Y'know, their latest attempt to repeat the success of Maximus from Tangled.
Then again, it's not a hoofed animal, so...

Along with the posted image above, in the article it was revealed that this movie:
- Replaced its two directors
- Added one co-director
- Gave one of the previous directors' the other "co-director" position
- Added a producer who will "work with" the previous producer
- Added a new writer who will "work with" the previous writer
- Completely recast the main role
So that's two producers, four people getting some sort of co-directing credit, two writers and the main character re-recorded.
And all these changes still only delays the film by a couple months.
Like, at some point Disney, you have to admit the film isn't working and start again from scratch. This sounds like some sort of bad salvage job where you Frankenstein what you can to someone else's unconnected vision.
Way, WAAAY too many chefs.

You should see the making of Frozen 2 series on D+.
It shows the proces that Disney Animation goes through. It's a group process inherited from Pixar where everybody working on a project has to present to the entire studios what they've done in the past week and get feedback from the entire studio.
With Frozen 2, whole songs and plot lines were dropped and added. It was clear that if something isn't working, they kill it.
Remember that Disney Animation killed Gigantic. And here are Pixar movies that were cancelled or drastically changed:

Some interesting projects were never made.

So, if they're radically shuffling execs and actors for this movie, then that's just a sign they're still going to do whatever it takes to not just throw out to the audience just anything (like the live action Disney Studios often does... I'm looking at you Nutcracker and Artemis Fowl).

This looks great! The animation looks really good and the story seems to be more sophisticated than other modern Disney films
It's only a teaser man.

Yea, it's tough to really make a fair judgment with a teaser trailer. That said, as a teaser it really didn't impress me. It feels very generic to me. Hopefully once we get a full story trailer, it will improve.

Is this another movie they pretend isn't a musical until it makes money?
