Disney General - The saddest fandom on Earth

[The Decimator]

Quick reminder that Splash Mountain has only two days left before it closes down. Ride it while you still can!

Was everyone surprised George Lucas didn't get the JK Rowling treatment after he called selling Star Wars to Disney like white slavery? The Disney media empire ruined people's lives for far less.

Lucas is one of the biggest stake holders in Disney. That was where most of the several billion dollars for Star wars was compensated from, stocks in Disney.

He could lynch a crowd of niggers while screaming niggers on national TV and Disney's media empire would remain quiet about it.

I thought we were safe from getting another Tron movie now that they own Star Wars?

Investors hate capeshit. Superheroes are getting too expensive to the point that a movie has to pull in a billion dollars to break even. Investors want to go back to modest budget action movies and comedies. We are already seeing WB under David Zaslav trying to move away from Capeshit outside of Batman in favor of more Harry Potter and new IPs. The fact that Disney announced Tron 3 now suggests even Disney slowly wants to move away from cape shit like the investors want. The most profitable superhero film is still the Joker. Avatar is the last profitable Disney IP they haven't run into the ground yet. Audiences did not return to movie theaters in record numbers for Black Panther 2 or Black Adam. They are returning for Top Gun Maverick and Avatar Way of Water. Hollywood and even Disney are starting to notice.

The concept of a Tron 3 being in the works sounds so bizarre to me. Tron as a franchise was a product of a far gone era when computers and their inner workings were universally an alien concept for the vast majority of people.

Tron worked back in the early 80s because as far as most people were concerned computers were these obscure, nearly black magic machines that only very few people could have access to, let alone understand and operate. There was a sort of mysticism to it that made it possible for audiences back then to suspend their disbelief and imagine there was this electromagical realm inside of the computer where programs and systems could be anthropomorphisized and the then never before seen CGI visuals, helped that vision.

But nowadays? Everyone carriers a computer in their pockets and technology is present in every aspect of modern life to the point virtual reality and AIs are becoming commonplace. Somehow the appeal and mystique of Tron as a concept is lost.

The only reason why Tron legacy didn't get a sequel was Disney focusing on the avengers. Superhero movies do not pull in the same audiences that justify how expensive the MCU is becoming. Making a billion dollars less impressive to investors if you just break even. No one buys Star Wars merchandise on the same level as pre-Disney buying Star Wars levels. Merchandising is how Star Wars really makes money. What other non-superhero and Star Wars IP Disney has outside Avatar? Tron and live action Disney remakes.

Tron but on the Internet is an obvious thing that should be easy to do and what people thought Tron Legacy was going to before seeing it was mostly nostalgia bait.

Scalpers must be having a fucking field day. The small Br’er Bear on the right is a plush from the late 90s.

Edit: yes, this is a memorial.

That was a fun ride, sad it's gone. Song of the South did nothing wrong.

That "true agenda" existed long before Iger got there. He just made sure to continue the trend Eisner started.


I suppose that's one time when Eisner was in the right.


As for subversion, they were already subverting things under Eisner to fit politically-correct agendas. The story of Pocahontas was turned upside-down to appease Indian activists, as opposed to portraying the accurate history of an Indian woman who accepted English customs and religion.


As I said, Eisner started it.


Iger didn't start it. He just continued a trend Eisner started. Even with the CCP censorship, Eisner worked with them so that Disney products can be sold in China.

Sorry. But if you look at the Star Wars thread, they all turned it into a Disney thread.

No joke, I once tried to start a "debate" whether or not the Empire were the good guys just to put a sock in it, it didn't work. So I figured that if they wanted to turn the damn thing into a Disney thread, I'd join in.

Yo, who wants to hear some WB news in this thread?

So Tt Games just has had a ton of leaks regarding new LEGO projects these past few months. The largest of these was a potential LEGO Disney game being developed for the 100 years of wonder line. The game was set to have the Jungle Book, Nightmare Before Christmas, Pirates of The Caribbean, Maleficent, and Mickey Mouse amongst a ton of other IP. It was going to be a huge celebration for Disney, but production ended up being a shit-show and Dream Light Valkey ended up doing a lot of their ideas, so I guess the project has now been cancelled.

In much larger-scale news, it seems that WB is now caroling the studio to only develop Warner IP, with Batman being the noted franchise to BTFO the Disney project. If true, this presents a big problem for Disney as that means LEGO’s game division will no longer be working with them, so no more Star Wars or Marvel. WB seems to be making some plays on the gaming space, and it will be interesting to see how this plays out as LEGO was pretty much the only thing Marvel/Star Wars had for awhile.

Went to Disneyland recently for the first time in like five years for my niece's fifth birthday.

I was saddened to find that you now have to go through a security checkpoint and wait in line for a tram just to get to the front entrance of the park.

Seeing the walls plastered with Disney character silhouettes contrasting with the darkness of the parking garage, cold grey metal detectors, plastic tables and K9 warning signs along with all the stereotypical progressive clientele gave me the creeps.

Quick reminder that Splash Mountain has only two days left before it closes down. Ride it while you still can!

Got to ride it one last time with my old man. Me in the front and him just behind me. First big dip and I heard my old man shout "Oh! Right in the crotch!" We ended up both being completely soaked and got new sweatshirts at the store near the entrance. Wasn't too thrilled over walking around in damp jeans the rest of our time there, but man. That's probably going to be one of my fondest memories from that park.

It's depressing knowing that what I consider to be one of the park's crown jewel rides is being scrapped due to political correctness. I doubt the vast majority of black people who even go there ever gave a shit about the ride's history.

Forget gamer girl bathwater, anybody want some Splash Mountain water?

Thankfully Splash Mountain is still open in Disneyland... for now. I hope I get a chance for one last ride it before it closes there.

I think this past string of events further hammers the point home that Song of the South will never be re-released on Blu Ray or anything ever again. All because of... what exactly? Slaves telling a white kid on a plantation their folk tales? Like that movie is not that bad.

The movie was not only good, but incredibly authentic to what actually happened in a pre, current and post Civil war south. Black slaves choosing to live and work in their former masters houses rather than become slum dwelling debt slaves to the northerners, the devastation of Sherman's burn campaign, the carpet baggers who came down to fuck the south economically, and so on and so forth.

Its an important historical piece that provides much needed perspective from the losing side in a conflict where the winners wrote the history books. Back when Disney cared about such things, which hasn't been the case for decades.

That sucks, there was a lot of potential for a LEGO Disney title. I guess there's still that Dreamlight Valley thing (Animal Crossing meets Stardew Valley essentially) and that delayed racing game.

It is all rumors, but people are mad about this. I personally would have gotten it, but I am honestly not to mad with the outcome. The last LEGO DC game was the best they ever made, and I have a much stronger connection to those works. There is also talks of a Dimensions 2, probably moreso Multiversus style game, which I would take over Disney any day. Just give me LEGO Looney Tunes, Scooby Doo, Tom & Jerry, DC, Adventure Time, and other CN shows and it’d be a dream come true.

That's probably the real reason why Song of the South gets smeared. You notice you can go ahead and make an authentic antebellum/post-Civil War movie if slave owners are depicted as vile monsters, but God help you if you depict Southern whites as anything but inbred rapists who would sell a black child to a railroad company just to watch the mother weep. Can't have a genuine interaction mucking up the message because everything needs to be cartoonishly simple for the sheep.

People have been so thoroughly brain-raped over this shit that it even extends to the cartoons in Song of the South. Br'er Rabbit and the Tar Baby is considered racist by your average mouth-breather and should you ask them why it's either because of the accents or the tar-baby, completely forgetting that
1. Everyone in the Deep South talks like that.
2. The tar baby is a booby-trap literally made of tar so anything that touches it gets stuck to it. "Tar baby" was never considered a slur until modern times, it's only ever been an metaphor for a sticky situation that only gets worse the more you involve yourself in it, usually laid as a trap by someone who would mean you harm. Kind of ironic, though, considering that nowadays talking openly about race has similar outcomes to touching a tar baby.

And the saddest thing of all is that James Baskett’s Oscar-winning performance (and his final performance, period) will never be seen again because of these politically correct assholes. Joel Chandler Harris collected all of those stories to keep them alive before they disappeared with the slaves that told them. Ironically, it seems that the very thing he was trying to avoid is now happening.
