Disney General - The saddest fandom on Earth

[Screamer_2]

Glen Powell was doing shitty bit roles in films for years until he decided to go all in on Scientology which led to his big role in Top Gun 2 which also led to him getting starring roles in Twisters, and The Running Man both of which were/will be sleeper hits.

I think The Running Man trailer looks fucking awful. Glen Powell was perfectly fine in 2 Top 2 Gun, but there's something about him that seems like who would be cast as a movie star in a TV show or film, rather than actually being one.

I didn't think there were any such people left at all at Disney.

Talk about a zombie job...

Recreating cells of animation for a movie from 90 years ago as pointless merch for people with toomuch money.

I can understand a person wanting an animation cell from their favorite movie, something that is limited in existence... I can't understand wanting a copy made by useless people just as a "thing".

Why there's fake cels selling on eBay lately. Too many suckers trying to beat a dead horse.

Went to Disneyland with my family and had some observations

1. Going to Disneyland with a kid is infinitely more fun than going as a teenager or an adult. They believe magic is real and Disney does a great job making sure they can ride pretty much everything

2. I saw Disney adults who did have kids with them, but the whole trip was about them and aesthetics and not about their kids. The kids were frustrated they were just being used as props.

3. I saw a lot of Disney adults who were weird, creepy perverts. The most disgusting was an old Chinese man who was bald on top who grew the hair around his head to be below shoulder length and he wore a skirt with leggings and a lot of poorly done makeup.

4. They have a firework show that is a celebration of their movies. I was surprised they had a segment dedicated to Hunchback of Notre Dame, Atlantis, and Treasure Planet. Wish was never featured.

5. A lot of the cast members do not care. The jungle cruise tour guide just mumbled, the restaurant employees were openly hostile and were annoyed that you would dare want to eat there. There were many times I saw cast members walking around together loudly discussing gossip or complaining about other employees. I've never seen that before at the parks. The exceptions are the old timers who have probably worked there for decades.

6. It was surprising how even though it was a holiday weekend, we never waited more than 20 minutes for a ride even if it said it was a 45 minute wait. I knkw Disneyland is always less busy than World, but I wasn't expecting for it to be that dead

Unfreeze Walt's head and put it on a T-800 so he can beat the shit out them. Disneyland was supposed to be the standard for how employees act at amusement parks.

During the 70s and 80s when Disney wasn't making money off their movies to the point they had to have product placement in that Oliver Twist movie with Billy Joel they could still rely on the parks to bring in money. Now their movies are losing hundreds of millions of dollars, their cruise line bookings are down, merchandise sales are down, and now no one if going to their parks. They have ~$10 billion cash on hand but how long can that last?

Last time I was at Disneyland, about a decade ago I was an adult by myself. I'm not a Disney adult, I can appreciate some Disney but don't care. I would roll out of bed hung over in my hotel across the street. Then spend the day until closing going back and forth from both parks based on what ride wait times were. Doing Single rider queues when I could. It was a good time that would have sucked with other people.

I wonder if the lower wait time is due to the idea that Disneyland is just pricing out people and upselling to deal with too much demand. When I was there seeing 25minute wait time was, immediately fast walk dodging fats, and strollers to get there.

I had fun, the wife would like to go but I can't imagine I'll ever go back to a Disney park. At least not one in America.

Probably, look at what happened to Downtown Disney as a sign of their new business strategy. It's turning into another high end mall for rich people which you can see all over Southern California. They're pricing out normal people.

 

[crunchy bits are the best]

Disney parks are only fun when you have the kids with you as they go "wow" but that was more than a decade ago. Now you have the weirdos running around and expensive shit to deal with over there. The "magic" somehow disappeared and it has remained that way ever since.

 

[Mayor Cody Travers]

I suspect Disney is a bit smarter than we figure, and is trying to turn the ship around so it's not hung for good by the twin albatrosses of appealing to Disney Adults and LGBTBBQ, to avoid comic books' dual fate of the longer-term lack of profit in the former (since, like the comic book nerd stereotype existinf since the 90s, they die out childless versus ever-replenishing kids being born as fresh audiences) and the latter's sudden downturn in popularity (because degeneracy and troonism - same thing! - are unappealing to large swaths of society and not even just conservative parts). The problem being they really did hire so many true-believers in both who won't give up their ill-gotten power without a fight.

Well if they want to make some actual profit from the Indiana Jones IP it's all very simple.

The problem for Lucasfilm with this scenario is that Paramount still owns the first three (and fourth) movies, so them going to theaters or disc is outside their control and wouldn't benefit them anyway besides publicity and some royalties. Besides the DVD box bonus disc is quite thorough. For the Blu-ray there are new docs that aren't as good and replaced the interviews with newer ones so peoples memories are even hazier and further removed. Also Spielberg is anti- commentary tracks.

Disney actually has to pay Paramount to put the movies on d+. I believe they were paid off again to relinquish their right to distribute Dial of Destiny. Paramount controls Young Indy too.

What Lucasfilm can do but won't is get the novels and comics back in print. It's retarded they couldn't even do that in the lead up to Dial of Destiny.

I went to Disneyland a few months ago and there were so many trannies. I wouldn't have been surprised if I saw one, but I was seeing multiple all over the park. I guess I know where to go to get pictures for the troonspotting irl thread.

the restaurant employees were openly hostile and were annoyed that you would dare want to eat there

I remember once when I was at Disney as a young teen with my friends, we were getting off a ride and asked an employee "can we exit here?" and she yelled "I don't know CAN YOU!?" and stormed away.

I don't think it's just a Disney thing. I went to the Mall of America in March and saw trannies galore, especially in the areas that sold Japanese/anime merchandise. Trannies are mentally unwell goons that like showing off, and if the places they're showing off at have appeal to kids/nerds, then that's icing on the cake to them.

A shame to see childhoods forever ruined.

2. I saw Disney adults who did have kids with them, but the whole trip was about them and aesthetics and not about their kids. The kids were frustrated they were just being used as props.

The thing is, that's in ANY amusement park place.

You'll have adults that want to go on a ride and drag their kid(s) along with them even though the child might be bawing it's eyes out because, and this is the most common reason, they are afraid of getting on the ride. Meanwhile the adult is all smiles while the kid is practically terrified while the ride is going on.

I used to work in an amusement park after high school and let me tell you... there are parents that should NEVER step foot in one. It's either they don't discipline their kids and let them do whatever the fuck they want, they pull that shit where they live their life through the child and have them do things they don't want to do, or they turn turbo-autistic and regress mentally into a child themselves with no sense of self-control.

I want the Kingdom Hearts equivalent to Final Fantasy X-2, but with Kairi, Namine, and Xion, with Aqua as a mentor character.

I mean, it is not pointless for Disney, the fact that they keep this department around to produce these cells is proof enough that it is profitable to their bottom line, I have no illusions of them doing this to preserve the legacy and tradition of the company. It comparatively must cost them peanuts to have these employees on some tiny work space without the need of computers or any complex equipment for it to operate, literally some paint, acetate and brushes. Their annual budget must the equivalent of a decimal accounting error for Disney.

That aside, people who buy animation cells knowing these are not the real deal are suckers. If the cell was never part of the original production then this is a company sanctioned forgery which is pathetic on so many levels because there is none of the value derived from authenticity and scarcity. They must have sold hundreds if not thousands of that exact "Limited Edition" Evil Queen cell over the years.

Maybe they just like it and don't consider it an "investment ". If you like traditional animation it's nice to have something made that way, especially from your favorite movie.

It's nicer than buying some cheap Chinese trinket at the park.

I do believe they're using the original paint to create those cels, and basing them off the original drawing. There's considerable craft and skill involved. Of all of the things that Disney is doing, this is the least offensive and harmful to their IPs. If I could afford it, I'd order a hand drawn cel from Disney, although I don't think they would approve of my selection:

Heh. I don't see anything wrong here.

 

[Everyone i hate is a pedo]

I'm honestly kinda surprised we haven't had stories of what it's like to grow up on military bases. You'd think with the number of military brats there are that some kind of story could be told. Maybe it gets too close to being a pro/anti-military message depending on the person.

when an american grows up on a military base and makes a story with a blatant stand in who's similarly friendless and lonely it leads to a $200 million dollar flop of a film that revolves around being a fag

when a Japanese man grows up on a military base and makes a story with a blatant stand in who's similarly friendless and lonely it leads to one of the most famous and popular animes of the century that teaches people an entirely new way to run

Imagine how much of a loser you'd have to be to prefer Elio to Naruto, and yet some people here do

its sort of ironic, once that catcalling and #MeToo stuff took off, you saw way fucking less women just going to the mall to show themselves off but trannies replaced them because they're acting like the women they wish they could have been as teenagers decades ago.

Like in the 2000s i knew plenty of women who'd buy clothes at the mall and return the next week or even next day wearing those same clothes because half the fun of the mall was that lowkey exhibitionism, its where teens ran around acting like assholes and yelled "penis" at the top of their longs or got pissed at themselves for losing "The Game"
