Why do the classical princesses and all their hangers-on have perfect teeth?
Perfect teeth is an Atomic Age perq.

It's not going to get to 90%. It'll be lucky to get to 75%.

Besides, a 90% or even 100% doesn't guarantee anything. You can make good movies and people can still not show up.
Here's your depressing fact for the day: before Disney killed Blue Sky Studios, there was a point their most profitable movie was their most critically thrashed (Ice Age 4) and their worst box office return was their best reviewed (The Peanuts Movie, which I'm pretty sure actually lost them money).
(Before they died altogether Ice Age 5 became worst rated, but for a while the above was true. And it still made more money than Peanuts.)

That doesn’t cheer me up! I guess this is the end of Disney Animation.

That’s where sequel vs “original” or stand-alone comes into play.

Wish currently at 63% with 40 reviews on RT. Will probably go up or down a bit as more are added.

They did make Newsies in 92, and approved a Newsies Broadway version in the 2010s. The hypocrisy isn't new.
We’ll, alright, but the critics better hurry up and like it!

You really shouldn't get this invested, you seem constantly upset by this stuff (and I'm sorry to contribute to that, it was just a footnote I've had in the back of my head for a while). This movie bombing would not kill Disney, and even in some bizarre alternate universe where it did, the dozens of great movies they already made would still be there to be enjoyed.
Well yeah, but at the same time Peanuts isn't exactly an unknown property, and the main point is that good critical ratings didn't help it.

If the movie doesn't deserve good reviews, it won't get them. If it's a classic, usually the scores a fair bit higher than these are. Disney Animation isn't going anywhere and there is no reason for tears, let alone those disgusting Alice tears (this image makes me cringe—no one sheds that many tears, not even giant British schoolchildren in Wonderland!).
Hopefully, this just motivates Disney to make better movies.
Well, I can't help it! I want Wish to be a hit! And those stupid critics are not cooperating! I hate critics! I bet WDWPro is a happy camper by now!

Walt Disney Animation Studios' "Wish" is an all-new musical-comedy welcoming audiences to the magical kingdom of Rosas, where Asha, a sharp-witted idealist, makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force--a little ball of boundless energy called Star. Together, Asha and Star...

I guess Wish is going to flop! It's the end of the original animated films. It's sequels forever!

The sequels have to stop eventually. I hate sequels as much as anyone, but I stand by what I said: if a movie isn't good, I don't want them making more movies in the vein of a bad movie.
Besides, critics' reviews are never the be-all, end-all in whether a movie is successful.
But, they're not being cooperative! They're being a bunch of anti-animation jerks! Man, I need a break!
Except Peanuts is is a pretty beloved IP… it should of crushed.. especially since the film is pretty great…
It will be interesting to see what actual Disney fans think of wish… the feeling I am getting from reading a smattering of reviews…it’s playing on the Disney nostalgia of old with it’s 100 years of animation…that it harkens back to the simple stories Disney use to tell… the characters are not that complex or deep… one reviewer compared it to Snow White with how simple that story is
