But oh, wait, that kind of hair would've been a bitch to make look like a "painting", and she doesn't look "BIPOC" enough.
Looks too much like an actual maiden for yasss queen slay nudisney

I like braids on real women but these just do not look good, esp with the weird fucking part. Were always either seeig the ugly sideshave looking side, or the opposite angle which makes her look like a potato

Girl frozen 2 was supposed to be epic and it ended up sucking ass
 
Same friend linked me to this video where they do talk about Wish, but more-or-less its production. They had gotten emails from people working within Disney who told them it was definitely co-opted by activists and warped into what it is today from the original intention of the origin story of the famous Disney Star.

Total Wokeist Death.
 
What got to me the most was that they said how there's the scene where the king is riding his horse, and the camera's pointing over his shoulder, heavily implying the animators don't know how to animate horses properly anymore.

Which honestly makes a whole lot of sense given the shit we've seen come out from modern animation.

EDIT: I found the YMS video my friend mentioned when I brought up the horse animation quote.

Probably a fine time to show one YouTube comment that baffles me just a little

“Asha’s design is regal, noble, stronk!” Bitch WHERE?

Even her dress had some actual thought and use of color in these! That would have been so much better. I mean she's still a peasant, but she's at least a peasant who understands accent color.
They actually had a few usuable ideas but somehow boiled all the creativity and charm out of it along the way. Wish is the residue left when you boil all the magic out of Disney.

Modern Disney is just too corporate to really give a shit about creativity. The only modern films they made within the past 8 years that were actually good were Encanto and Moana, other than that, the stuff about their films that is interesting is all the stuff they cut to be more marketable.

Man, this just makes me sad. Their 100th year. A pretty huge crowning achievements, but they had to fuck it up by letting activists get their grubby fingers on it and spoiling it. I loved Disney growing up (like basically everyone but still) so it makes me sad they just don't seem able to make anything decent anymore. Would've been great if their 100 year milestone celebration movie managed to break the curse.
 
It's no secret that Bob iger is a elitist liberal type, so I'm not surprised at how Disney has evolved over the past two decades or so.

The big problem that I have is that they're so safe and they use pandering to make up for whatever shortcomings they may have which is now wearing thin.

The remakes are getting more and more critically contentious, marvel and Star wars speak for themselves, and even the original animated productions are becoming subject to mediocrity.

It really is sad to hear what's become of the creative team that oversees the animation though.

This has been a long time coming, and I really don't know what they can do to dig themselves out of this hole that they made.
 
I needed to cleanse my eyes when it comes to animated animals, and this comment caught my eye.

It would explain why it is Dinky stuck out to me as a kid, in how he didn't feel out of place nor cartoony compared to other bird characters. When I did my rewatch a couple hours ago, having not seen The Fox and the Hound in years, Dinky was exactly as I remembered him, and more (I love watching birds in real life, they're funny). The movie's story is bare bones, but the animal animation is so fluid, so well-grounded (for the most part).

Anyhoo, here's the interview. Haven't watched it yet.

Effort and freedom for the animators. Historically Disney animators had mirrors on their desks so they could practice facial expressions before drawing, and they used live models for characters all the time. I get the feeling that they don't do that at all anymore, with the animators having little references allowed. Plus everything is so penny pinching that the animators are rushed and unable to have time for details.

It's this entire economy that's centered around maximizing efficiency by cutting out every second a worker isn't doing their job tasks, which ignores everything else a worker historically did alongside those tasks.

Of course YMS is the guy you can find pointing out lackluster animal animation.
 
Those jannies must be working overtime. I hope Disney pays them well.
:story:
Imagine spending your thanksgiving, rather than doing something like spending time with family or just relaxing to get away from everything, making constant minor changes to and/or having bitch fights on a Wikipedia article about a bad disney movie

I also feel like the public conscious is starting to pick up on a lot of Disney's mannerisms which is never really a good thing.

I honestly blame them for causing the word reputation to carry a negative connotation with it.

Keep in mind that Walt Disney was a conservative guy, but tried to make films for everybody.

In my dream world I think they would bring back 2D animation, and just have a few years of nothing but that to wash everybody's mouth out of this horrendous 3D era they've been on.

Furthermore, I wish they would stop trying to focus on trying to hit incredibly radical types who will probably not care about the film once they deem it not as progressive as they think it should be for not predicting what social issue will be in the public conscious 3 years from now.

I'm not really sure about musicals because as I stated on other sites, the modern Broadway sound is very much indicative of stuff like Hamilton where you take contemporary music and add it into that classical Broadway sphere.

I still think that can work, but you really have to commit to making everything sound diverse.

After Jerry Rees left Disney he directed this unforgettable little movie


Some madlad found a film print and had it scanned in 4k. Look in the description for HQ download link, beware it's like 28 gigs

How was it co-opted by activists? I haven't heard about it doing anything more extreme than the usual dreck. The plot sounds like the same uninspired shit millenial writers keep churning out, and the only way for somewhat decent old timey 2D animation is AI.

...that YouTube video is blocked in my country so could I get a name? It just shows up as "video unavailable in your region" and clicking on it just brings me a series of insomnia videos.

Update: after manually enteing the video code I see it's The Brave Little Toaster, which admittedly is a very good movie. I should add the series to my server

The sad part is that it's really fucking easy. Just literally stop putting diverse hires in positions of power, stop political nonsense, and try to emulate how their movies were back when people gave a shit about the company. It's the blatant solution in the world, they simply refuse to do it.

It might not be this easy. They have squeezed the company completely dry of any passion for its work, and that's not something that can be easily fixed. Plus all the unions and regulations have to be reviewed as the current system of effectively meritless welfare for writers means they don't even have to try.

I think the unfortunate thing is that Disney has stuck their heels so deep into this liberal-minded ground that it's going to be hard to shake off the stigma now that everybody knows their game.

An animated studio like them should not be trying to make political statements considering they're a BILLION dollar company.

Nobody wants to be preached to and trying to act progressive will make you look regressive when 5 years from now some random neck beard make a 10-hour video essay about why your film wasn't as revolutionary as everyone thought it was.

The only Disney film released in the past several years that really feels like it came from the Golden age was Encanto.

Even though it focuses on Colombians it deals with issues that any normal human being could relate with and the music ( at least to me) was pretty good.

People on Twitter will tell you that conservatives are the reason for this, yet I've seen many so-called conservative Disney fans hold Alan menken and Howard Ashman and high regard despite them being gay guys.

When you put the identity of a person first and forget everything else that makes them compelling you don't really have much of a story.

Who is the stronger character between Tiana and asha?

One of them is literally a fusion between Isabella from Encanto and Rapunzel from Tangled, and the other is a actual character.
