Disney clearly thought that would be the case.

When you think about it, they probably didn't even consider it. Current attitudes tend to not be about what the consumer will want. They probably just got a kick on their idea for doing this. Never stopped to think about whether there was demand.

According to various podcasts I listen to. Bob Iger hired a bunch of woke progressives in his final years because he wanted to prove his progressive credentials when he wanted to run as a Democrat for President. They've now been hiring other like-minded people which is where the rot has been coming in. Now there are Imagineer's cheering the destruction of Splash Mountain and having disdain for the Disney of the past.

Apparently the original Galaxies Edge concept being worked on by the Disney Imagineer's after the purchase of Lucasfilm was all time periods. Was Tatooine. Had a pod-racing ride. Then for some reason it got shifted over to Lucasfilm in control and a bunch of people who had no experience were put in charge of it. Which is why it's some stupid made up planet no one cares about. Why it's limited to the sequels and endless countlessly documented bad decisions. The Star Cruiser probably was them just extending out with ideas. For some reason no one stepped in to say no.
 
An oral history of Lilo & Stitch, the Disney movie that almost brought hand-drawn animation back.

An actually excellent read (which is so rare for journo-vomit these days). This part, right at the end, also sums up the state of animation perfectly, I feel:

I actually have a hard time watching animation now because I see the same expressions, gestures, hand movements, everything. Everybody just uses the same stuff over and over again. It’s this formula of animation. I don’t see the uniqueness anymore. I look at live-action movies and you’ve got an actor, right? And the actor can change his persona. He can change his character. He can laugh a certain way in one scene, he can put on an accent in another. He can walk a different style. A good actor will change himself. But in animation, they seem to just grab a formulaic impression and plug it in. It’s a plug-and-play thing. You know that saying, “Death by mass destruction”? I used to say, “Life by math destruction.” You’ve got to kill the math. If you can see the Bayesian curve, if you can feel the timing — that’s math. You have to kill the math to make it feel alive.

Triton burned the coal and paid the toll.

It is so fucking sad that that mock-up I posted like 50 pages back actually looks better than what they actually came up with for Flounder.

On the bright side, at least Turning Red did not win an Oscar for Best Animated Picture. We can be at least grateful that, for once, the Oscars voting board did something right at least.

Wait, who did win then?

Pinocchio is a genuinely great film, so I'm glad it won. Disney should try making films on its level if they want that Oscar.

By the way, Triton here's played by Javier Bardem. Most goers will know him best as Anton Chigurh.

I expect No Country for Old Men references any minute now, Internet.

"What's the point of these live-action remakes, Disney?"

"The point is, there ain't no point."

I don't know why so many modern movies make everything visually dark and avoid color contrast. Her hair is almost the same color as her skin, so you can barely distinguish her in front of a dark backdrop. If the hair was proper red, at least it would pop. The point of giving a mermaid long hair is so you can see it floating and flowing behind her. Instead they made it look a static mass of crusty brown shit.
There's something really weird going on with the effects in this movie. Somehow her face seems to be moving independently of her body.
Just from the trailer you can tell the actress is just outright bad at her job. I assume her previous gig was in one of Disneys childrens sitcoms, because that's what her intonation sounds like.
The animals all look creepy and out of place.
All in all a solid DisneyRemake/10.
On the plus side Disney will eventually run out of material to remake and they'll be forced to do Song of the South.

Nope, they found the bitch on either YouTube or TikTok, singing with her much prettier sister.
