Alan Menken doing Disney
Alan Menken is probably one of the few reasons anyone even gives a shit about Disney and their goyslop any more.
The worst thing about troons is their abominable personalities, but I really think that Dylan has a lot of positive traits.
I think this dude is walking poison that cancels everything he touches.
 
I think the reason Disney gets a pass all the time it's because they're so intrinsically tied to nostalgia and simpler times.

Every decade has a movie that a particular demographic latches on to which allows them to keep on milking on original ideas and IPS until people get sick of them.

Right now the big thing for children is Encanto and a decade before that it was Frozen which is why both of the songwriters for these movies are always in rotation just like Alan was during the 90s and early 2000s.

This is also why we keep getting terrible live-action remakes

Ballooning production budgets are also to blame.

A YouTuber I watch - I want to say Despot of Antrim - said that Hollywood studios are essentially banks these days. Film budgets have been skyrocketing and studios will only give money to something with a proven track record of success. They don't want to drop $300M on something new and untested, so they play "safe" by using it on an existing IP. In reality, Disney is severely restricting the amount of money they can make from a singular audience member by investing in one big project rather than several smaller ones. There are plenty of Disney fans who will see anything they put out at least once. Making 6 movies for $50M each instead of 1 movie for $300M would sextuple the amount of money they'd spend.

If I were to add another reason, I think it's also because there's a big stigma against animation.

Since the 1960s, animation has been viewed as something immature and something that you're supposed to "outgrow" at a certain point in your life ( a lot of this is caused by a bunch of parent groups politician blaming animation for the racial riots of that era to scapegoat).

The aftermath of all of this is you have people who don't want to be caught dead seeing a beautifully animated movie, but will feel less bad about it if it looks incredibly realistic so they can pat themselves on the back.

This is the big reason why Disney never promoted the live-action Lion King as being CGI animated because they know that saying that it is will potentially drive away nostalgic millennials
 
Please explain
So before The Little mermaid remake even came out, it was stated by the director Rob Marshall that there would be lyrical changes to as he put it " better reflect the era that we live in"

The decision was backed up by Alan Menken who for some reason stated that the lyrics for kiss the girl were inappropriate because they didn't offer consent on Ariel's behalf.

Lin Miranda was chosen to basically alter the lyrics which led to a bunch of smooth brains blaming him for the change when it was Alan and Rob Marshall.

What makes all of this sad is that it was The Little mermaid in its music that basically saved Disney from going down under after having a horrible 70s and '80s financial crisis thanks to their awful quality control.
 
The thing about these remakes is that they're basically made to "mend" criticism that the average CinemaSins or far left leaning feminist have made about them over the years.

That's why in the remake of the little mermaid, it's Ariel that ends up killing Ursula and Eric os basically a male Disney princess who spends the vast majority of the film simping for his mermaid girlfriend and essentially playing into the hands of the main villain.

My theory for the constant remakes was that Maleficent did good and so did Burton's AiW and I think the 2015 Cinderella was good enough and Disney is desperate to strike that gold again, no matter what.

Do you think that CinemaSins knows that he has almost single-handedly destroyed modern cinema? I know that it wasn't all him and that this "nit picking nerd" schtick is older than that but he and Nostalgia Critic brought that shit to the mainstream.

What companies don't seem to realize these days is that the vocal minority they're pandering to are, in fact, the minority. Not only that, but they're pandering to people who have no interest in their product in the first place. Look what happened to Victoria's Secret when they ditched their iconic Angels.

Yeah, unfortunately people just can't let movies be movies anymore and everything has to be tied to our reality even when things don't make any sense.

That's why we get racial allegories for things that just don't stick like super powered mutants that anybody would be afraid of.

You know what the internet’s really done? It’s given a microphone to the people who were, uh, let's say... less popular in high school. You know, the kids who sat in the back of class quietly, eating Lunchables and playing with Pokémon cards. Now they’re online like, ‘I’m gonna ruin someone’s day today.’ It’s like they went straight from dodgeball target to… Twitter tyrant. They’re out here acting like the bullies they never got to be when they were 14, and now we all get to suffer for it.

That would explain their absolute hatred of love and romance. And strong, handsome male characters who end up with the female protagonist who's been pining after them. Just look at all of the iconic heroes who've been slaughtered over the past decade or so. Indiana Jones and Luke Skywalker have been destroyed. My brain isn't fully on right now, so that's all I know off the top of my head.

And yet we've never seen a return of the very brief and beautiful period that gave us The Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis, and Lilo and Stitch (as well as The Prince of Egypt, and The Road to El Dorado from Dreamworks).

Really? Even when I was a kid, I got that you weren’t supposed to take that as life advice, being as how it was coming from the obviously evil Sea Witch.
Context is haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard.

They also took out Ursula's entire "it's she who holds her tongue who gets a man" verse. Absolutely unforgivable.
Can't have the bad guy say anything untoward if you're planning on making an "Ursula" movie down the line. Only safe-edgy allowed.
 
Those people are lucky it was sunny, imagine seeing this through the mist.
