As far as I'm concerned, if Disney made it, it's fine for Disney parks. I'd rather Disney focus on the actual themes the parks were designed with rather than shoehorning their properties where they don't belong, but I'm not going to be mad if, say, Raya, a character who headlined a Disney movie, walks around the parks or is integrated into the parks in a larger capacity in an organic and thematically appropriate way, even if I think that film is beautiful garbage.
And to go the other way and look at some of the older films, I'm not going to pretend that I love every single thing Walt Disney himself touched, or that is often seen by the company or consumers as classics-I have little use personally for Dumbo, Cinderella, or Peter Pan.
I've found that whether or not I like a film doesn't necessarily correlate with whether or not I like the attraction based on it. Despite my dislike of the film it's based on, I like Peter Pan's Flight quite a bit and consider it to be a quintessential Disney attraction; in contrast, even though I love the film it's based on, I don't find any value in Pinocchio's Daring Journey.
I am very tired of Star Wars, Pixar, and Marvel in the parks, however. Not that I would evict Carsland, ROTR, or Star Tours necessarily, but very little related to those properties has had a positive impact on the parks, and it still feels to me like Disney is often the brand the execs are least interested in, or least eager to talk about.
