I see this refrain that it's ignored, but didn't they do a Tiana riverboat party at MK? A hard ticketed event?
And weren't they putting a Tiana's restaurant in the now defunct new DVC?
The merchandise has definitely not been in your face like Frozen's has. But to be fair no one has merchandising success like Frozen....
Despite individual grievances on the over-exposure of Frozen... one cannot deny that the film captured the attention of the world based solely on its product. The film had a normal marketing arc.. and was not promoted like a Marvel film, Its box office take did not break records on the first weekend... but it was the staying power, week- after week from word of mouth and reviews that caused its ride to glory. Disney was caught flat-footed by its success (just like the Mandalorian & the child) and wasn't ready for the demand for the merchandise. The music, animation, characters, and storyline captured young and old alike. I am sorry if you are an adult that has had to listen to Let it Go a hundred times or more in a row... but that's the proof it was better than PatF.
