Big boy check, and this coming from the guy that caused a stink because Scarlett was getting paid less. So extra funny how it seems to be fine now after they fucked her over utterly. Wasn't Scarlett suing disney about some contract shenanigans?

Also, can't wait for old man Tony from Earth-Penis, best thing they could use him for is as a villain honestly and let him ham it up as Superior Iron Man.

It's fine guys! See? It's fine! We can keep sticking with the original plan of being a KANG! He said he's sowy and he got a slap in the wrist, so it's ok! Respect whamen except the stupid whore that put her face in the trajectory if Majors fist! SOYFACESELFIE!

The D-Files Part 4: A Slow Death in a Strange World
Unfortunately, Strange World was a complete and utter failure, and Disney executives knew it would be long before the release of the film, evidenced by the slashing of its marketing budget and modest press tour and premiere. The movie came out on Thanksgiving weekend and limped in for a $18 million ($12 million domestic) weekend take. The film’s LGBT theme decimated the international box office as multiple countries refused to show Strange World. This box office disaster ultimately lost Disney over $100 million when it was all finally said and done.

The return to Disney Animation after a VERY long Thanksgiving was not good. That Monday, the staff was greeted with a very “glum” Zoom call as a way to soothe everyone’s feelings. One source tells us that the Disney Exec’s message is essentially, “This is a bummer, but the ‘message’ is important, and we will press on with it…” Clearly, the LESSON WAS NOT LEARNED, and Disney Animation would suffer its subsequent massive failure with Wish.

The D-Files: Part 5 — Disney’s Death Wish
The overall animation looked unfinished, especially the animated crowds, lighting, and clothing simulation. The response was that this was intentional (supported by the “making of” documentary). The faces in the back of the crowd were unfinished to replicate how Walt did it in Sleeping Beauty.

The attempt at 2D animation with 3D technology was a massive failure. It was too heavy-handed in some places and not used enough in others. The look constantly pulled audiences out of the story. This happens when you fire an entire staff that worked at the studio for decades and try to mimic Walt’s artistic vision without their knowledge or experience.

The songs seemed forced into the film and didn’t feel like a Disney musical. The “Making of” documentary spoke to how it was a bold move on Lee’s part to hire pop songwriters Julia Michaels (who worked with Justin Timberlake and Dua Lipa) and Benjamin Rice for Wish, instead of relying on the Disney tradition of hiring Broadway lyricists and composers, like Alan Menkin, Stephen Schartz, and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Please, someone quickly tally up the Best Song nominations Wish got compared to every Disney musical since The Little Mermaid. Also, who’s families are singing Wish songs on long trips?

Lastly, Wish focused too much on the audience’s “love” of Easter Eggs.

Speaking of Easter Eggs, Jennifer Lee leaned too heavily into an audience’s desire to hunt for Easter Eggs versus telling a good Disney classic story. An insider reached out to me regarding the Wish Easter Eggs. This source attended several audience test screenings of Wish—the first in February of 2023. In the first screening, 5% of Wish was fully animated, with 85% being storyboard animatics. Much of the criticism from the audience spoke to confusion with the overall story and character motivations. It was perceived that the moderator wasn’t looking for story feedback but was more interested in whether they saw all the Easter Eggs.

About a month later, another test screening was conducted. Though more of the film had been animated, none of the story feedback from the first session had been incorporated into this version. This particular screening was catered explicitly to “Disney Adults,” who said they visit Disneyland several times yearly. The moderator kept probing into how many Disney references they caught…they caught five.

That's not an Easter Egg hunt but a Bunny Day Bombardment. There's no joy in hunting when they're dropped like mortars on you.

They were called "hidden" Mickeys for a fucking reason, not "everywhere, even in the dirt clods" Mickeys.

Oh wait, modern Dinsey movies are made for the people who go to Didney Worl multiple times a year, where hidden Mickeys are everywhere.

Since the pandemic there are only about 35,000 people a day (on average) that go to Disney world. That means 12,775,000 visits in a year.

Now I don't have any hard numbers here, but of those visits I would estimate that maybe 1% of them are from repeat visitors, meaning

A demographic analysis finds that 25% of visitors have an income over $100k and about 25% of visitors live within 50 miles of Disneyworld

If I make the assumption that the percentage of people that have an income over $100k AND live within 50 miles closely approximates the percentage of visitors that visit multiple times a year, that leaves me with about 6% of visitors being repeat visitors - and I expect that to be the upper possible limit. 60% of visitors are childless so I won't be making assumptions based on visitors being part of the same household.

Based on that, the number of people who are the target audience of modern Disney movies will be no more than 800,000 people, and likely far less.

Disney had 11 movies last year. If the target audience watched them all in theatres (even Chang Can Dunk) at a nearby theater (AMC charges $10 a ticket for adults) that's only a grand total of $88,000,000 in annual revenue. if they all have a $140/year Disney+ membership on top of that, that's $112,000,000 for a grand total of $200,000,000 annual income. Disney spent $33,000,000,000 in 2023, which would be a net loss of 32 billion dollars if only their target audience watched their movies.

But 2024 is just the start. Disney has multiple notable releases in the years to come such as Captain America: Brave New World, The Fantastic Four, Blade, Toy Story 5, Zootopia 2, Tron: Ares, Snow White, The Mandalorian and Grogu, the live-action Moana, Avatar 3, and the Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me from Nowhere.

I feel like calling a movie Brave New World is going to bring very uncomfortable parallels to Huxley's book, and will not compare well

Captain America: Brave New World - essentially double the production budget and probably about 3 years too late. Anthony Mackie has already proved he can't headline a movie. Honestly even if this did well it wouldn't make its money back.

The Fantastic Four - 2025 release date, before production has started. Unlikely. I can't see anything that will bring people out for this, especially since it will get released in the midst of the Gunniverse, which will either put the last bullet in the corpse of capeshit, or be good and make people remember that Marvel is shit now.

Blade - do they even have an actor yet?

Toy Story 5, Zootopia 2 - I doubt they'll bomb, but they're not going to make hundreds of millions.

Tron: Ares- at best it might not bomb?

Snow White- Double production for a complete meme movie. The princess version of Morbius only at at least triple the cost.

The Mandalorian and Grogu- LOL

the live-action Moana - this could make Snow White look like a hit.

Avatar 3- another piece of shit, but at least it will make money...that they have to split with Cameron

Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me from Nowhere - Well at least the budget shouldn't be too high.

Lucky they have the parks tugboat or they might actually be fucked.
