So what do people want from Disney? Every single movie seems to be struggling at the box office even if it is a high quality. Is it because of Disney+ or does the right-wing political aisle just hate Disney now?
I just saw Inside Out 2 and all I can say is WOW!
This is the best Pixar movie in years and a return to form for the Studio! It will especially resonate with people who have mental health struggles.
Heaps of people are saying they want ‘good’ movies. However movies with good reviews and/or audience scores are not delivering the big box office numbers like they did in 2019. I mean Lion King was disliked and made so much money than The Little Mermaid this year.

I think that this is the opinion of the overwhelming majority. I think prices are out of control. I don't know how to fix inflation but there has to be a solution.
It’s officially Mirabel’s birthday month, so I can finally reveal big news that Dolores has known all along… Mirabel’s birthday is March 6th. 🎂🕯✨

I think when it comes to event movies connected to an experience people are more willing to fork out the cash. I know some people who have only seen Barbie since the pandemic.
@Zelkiiro
I loved Raya - it is one of my favourite films! Encanto became popular on Disney+ but struggled in theatres. I gather people were waiting for Disney+ in that particular situation
I really hope we get an announcement about Walt Disney Animation Studios 2024 film soon! I have a feeling it will be Suzi Yoonessi’s Persian Princess movie 👑

I have a Law degree so I know quite a fair bit about politics. I have lost count of the amount of YouTube comments of people on the right claiming they never will see a Disney movie again because they are ‘woke’. I think it is a factor in this even if it isn’t the main reason.
I am so over the narrative that Disney doesn't create original content anymore because it is a lie. Disney Animations latest 4 films (Raya and the Last Dragon, Encanto, Strange World and Wish) were all original. People need to do a Google search before making false statements.
#Elemental
is a gorgeous romance! I ship Ember and Wade so hard and I adored seeing their love story unfold! It is also a moving illustration of the struggles of Immigrants moving to a new country. Highly recommend!
I just want to make clear that when I say ‘quality’ I’m not talking about my personal opinion. I am talking about critic and audience scores. For example, I don’t like Luca. However, I would consider it in the quality camp because most disagree with me.
@MarsDorian
I strongly encourage you to go see the movie. It’s a lot deeper and nuanced than the trailers indicate. It doesn’t remind me of Zootopia at all.
@Luminoushane
I think a lot of people don’t realise that the King erases a persons memory of their wish. That is the problem. The person doesn’t get the opportunity to work hard and make their wish happen on their own.

@Zelkiiro
Everybody has different opinions on what they like. Doesn’t mean they are wrong. When I say quality however I was talking about overall critic and audience scores - not my personal opinion.
Just saw
#Encanto
and it was absolutely FLAWLESS! I cannot recommend this movie enough and you have to see it in theatres ASAP. The music was catchy, the animation was stunning and the writing was so well done giving every single character a satisfying story arc.
New “look” at the new emotions from ‘INSIDE OUT 2’.
A preview for the film introduced by Pete Docter and Amy Poehler is playing before ‘SOUL’ in theaters.
@wretchedplebe
Encanto was a good story. Elemental was a good story. It’s not just about a good story otherwise certain films would be smashing it at the box office.
@abdk_90
I'm talking about Disney movies overall since 2020. As I have said before I'm not basing 'quality' on my personal opinion. I'm basing it off critic and audience scores. It isn't about how I feel.
I saw the first 30 minutes of Inside Out 2 and I am blown away with the creativity. Amazing universal story that I think will appeal to everyone. It is also VERY funny. This film has the potential to be a big financial success for Pixar

@madteamichelle
Most Disney adults respect cast members and understand that they are not being paid enough. It’s the parents that seem more demanding and unreasonable.
What a garbage take. Barbie land was causing pain to Ken - demonstrating that a society only run by women is just as bad as a society only run by men. The line 'you failed me' from Ken made this VERY clear. The message was both genders should work together. EQUALITY!
(1/18) THREAD🧵:
#Barbie
HATES men and HATES Barbie.
It's the worst movie I have seen since the feminist reboot of "Ghostbusters" in 2016.
It's insanely preachy and direct with its message: men are bad and women are good.
I'll elaborate.

I have seen Bob Iger mispronounce Anna's name twice now. You should know how to pronounce the name of the leading character in the highest grossing animated film of the company you run.
Maya Hawke as Anxiety was the standout - delivering an ICONIC PERFORMANCE! I also really adored Ennui.
I guarantee that you will LOVE this movie no matter who you are!
Also, make sure you stay for the end because there is an end credits scene!
Judging from the comments it seems Disney+ and the economy is the main (although not sole) issue. So will Disney get rid of Disney+ or make the price higher to cover their costs? Only time will tell…
So what do people want from Disney? Every single movie seems to be struggling at the box office even if it is a high quality. Is it because of Disney+ or does the right-wing political aisle just hate Disney now?
I am seeing tons of discussion online saying that King Magnifico is right because all wishes can't be granted. The issue is that a person has their memory wiped once they hand over their wish to the King. This prevents them from making the wish happen through their own hard work.
How about we just let people like the things they like? Just because somebody is passionate about something you don't understand doesn't mean it is weird or creepy. Everyone is different and we need to embrace that.

@Cryptic4KQual
No, the ones that are normal are just Disney fans, Disney adult is someone obsessed in a creepy way
And overall weirdos, like that Disney Aussie girl from YouTube
@MToonster24
@MarsDorian
If you are saving money that is totally understandable as inflation is ridiculous right now. I just think it is best to reserve judgment about a film until you see it.
I don’t think the answer is to delete all messages from Disney films. It is more about making sure you choose messages that are universally relatable so that you appeal to a wide audience. Frozen had a great message about the importance of sisterhood - very universal ❄️
Bob Iger says creators at Disney have lost sight of what their jobs should be, entertain first, not messages.
He adds that stories infused with “positive messages for the world” can be great but that it shouldn’t be the primary job.

Question: Why didn't you just boycott Strange World? There are plenty of recent Disney movies without gay characters - why not see those movies? I have nothing against gay characters in movies myself but if I were you I just wouldn't see certain movies not all of them.
I'm starting to get concerned about the 2024 Walt Disney Animation Studios movie. Obviously Disney won't tell the press the title because it hasn't been announced - but why wouldn't they include it and call it an 'Untitled Disney Animation' film like they have previously?
I just saw
#TheHungerGames
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and I was really impressed! I loved the book because of the world building and seeing a version of this story not from Snow’s POV added even more layers to the story. It’s a must watch if you are a Hunger Games fan ❤️
I got my tickets to D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event! I will be attending the big panels on Friday and Saturday at the Honda Center and I can't wait to share with you guys everything I see there!
I thought the majority male reviewers might be the issue with the Rotten Tomatoes score. Some movies are targeted towards the female demographic but that doesn't make them bad.
#Wish
won’t be for everyone
- it’s a revolutionary tale
& very female centric
But I thought it was compelling

both excellent!
It has some truly great sequences.
And lots of Easter eggs!

Review Monday
Is it just me or does anybody else REALLY appreciate being given notice when a trailer will drop? So much easier to be ready than doing my makeup and hair frantically at 1am to react to a trailer.
Story time. So my Nanna had a fall causing a brain bleed outside her house. She lives next to a bus stop and an express way and was screaming for help for 5 hours before I found her. The chances of nobody hearing her was low. It really makes me lose hope in humanity 😢
