but I chalked it up to Disney's great spyware and tracking everything.
pretty much the story of disney the last half century is "promise the world and disappoint people" Bob Iger at least had the brains to just buy disney's way to success, which was a smart move because everything they've done internally has seemed to be dogshit for a very long time now.
Say what you will about Eisner, at least he had ideas. Eisner would never fuck us on a Star Wars Hotel like this, that nigga was planning on letting Mickey retire for all of the 90s and letting the Muppets take over all the disney parks because he's literally mentally ill (and is the reason the Muppets are even a thing beyond some hippy's busking tools in the first place)
Eisner would have demanded every park be filled with replicas of every set so guests could reenact the entire trilogy as any role they'd want, and then be forced to scale it back from there.
The "no repercussions, no responsibilities" movement is a fairly new thing which has led to all sorts of damage to the social framework that is actively breaking down
it seems to work great in the black community, that sounds like a joke but if the culture itself is built around that as the expectation it suddenly becomes very easy for the "talented tenth" who do want to succeed to actually get the high achievement jobs of their dreams, even if they aren't actually deserving of them. For fucks sake look at our vice president, she didn't get there because of her brains but because of her whoring abilites. And if she had a tiger mom she would have never learned that she can climb the ladder quicker and easier riding a cock.
a film that immediately feels like it was made by a child or grandchild of immigrants who is deeply resentful of the cultural practices they grew up with
You ever watch The Jazz Singer? its also a film with a similar message and hatred of older cultural traditions its fairly common.
If this film took place in the 2010’s, during the advent of social media and OnlyFans, would it still preach the same values?
or how about in the 1920s with the advent of Jazz and minstral shows, or even the 1970s and disco?
This time it's related to DisneyNOW, including internal documents
from what i've read on wikipedia just now it was just a filler website where you could watch shows before they actually launched Disney+ and it only lasted a handful of years and was as barebones as they could make it.
I think of all the decisions the mouse has made in the past thirty years,
exactly, When was the last "good" disney ride? I'd guess sometime in the 90s. Unless you're a fan of screens. it has to be that fair back, which is ironic because I'm pretty sure Eisner only got the job because he promised revamping the Parks of Disney and he's mainly known for all those shitty ideas he had
That's an animatronic?! How did they do that?
do you not have eyes? they just shine a different light to make it appear "frozen" and take fabric that is held taut and release it.
They look amazing in the Tokyo ride.
its because of how they're used, i remember a community theater version of a chrismas carol doing a similar thing as that Frozen trick but with real actors, it doesn't matter how good the effects are if you don't use them in a magical way
that when Brad Bird's film comes out,
we've been hearing about that film for about a decade now. Skydance is having a hard time finding buyers for their animated films. despite what people may think, Lasseter's name still carries enough of a stigma that people aren't touching it. Skydance in general is a bit of an odd duck, its CEO is the son of the richest open Republican on earth, they made their money financing Tom Cruise and other scientologist's projects and they happily will take advantage of "canceled" talent like Bird and Lasseter.
They also have such a bad reputation that Paramount's owners are having a crisis of conscious selling even a handful of its assets over to them, when you give even other psychopathic billionaires pause, you know your reputation is in the shitter. The only place where they aren't hated in hollywood is at the box office, their ROI is hilariously good in comparison to everyone else in the industry. But a lot of that might be because of Top Gun 2, which also bucked the trend of other sequels of beloved IPs by not shitting all over the iconic hero of the franchise.
