Something makes me wonder is if in twenty years or less that Disney will bought out by some foreign conglomerate whether Chinese, Arab, or even Indian? I only ponder because all the major video game publishers are facing that right now and videa is bigger than TV and films and you can only produce crap so long until it becomes unsustainable.

You can also add South Korean conglomerates to the list, since some of them were trying to branch out by acquiring foreign media companies, i.e. Kakao being interest in buying Kadokawa. Imaging Disney being under either the Samsung or SK umbrella would be a terrifying thing to see, in a bad way.

It can realistically happen as companies are captured by Shareholder Value and finance which seems to make things as fake and gay as possible as the wider audience will be some gormless biomass rather than customers who will choose something different when it's presented.

Disney plans to release a short film to accompany the release of Zootopia 2 on 26 November 2025 titled Versa, It depicts a young couple trying to start a family following mental trauma of the loss of their first child, with the visual storytelling utilizing a cosmic and astrological backdrop. It is based on the life of the short's director Malcon Pierce (Moana, Frozen), of which Pierce and his wife Keely went through numerous struggles following the loss of their infant son Cooper.

Usually I’d be annoyed at the animated therapy session, but I imagine people, especially parents, would feel for someone losing a child. Not that the HIJK community would understand, fucking ghouls.

I'm glad the original creator got the rights back and I wish him the best of luck with whatever project he's going to put out with the character. All that said, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" was lightning in a bottle and nothing is ever going to top it because it was one of the most ambitious and talent fueled pieces of media ever made.

The cool thing is now the ship is haunted as fuck. I hope someone is filming it when the opening scene from Ghost Ship happens.

Of the four OG Disney Cruise ships (haven't been on any of the new ones), the Wonder is the one that I have never been on.

Probably for the best that I keep it that way.
 
Hearing decent things about Zootopia 2. I think I'm more looking forward to the inevitable sperging about the lack of shipping material (not a spoiler, just a guess) but I enjoyed the original so hopefully this'll be good too. The lack of Rich Moore this time around is a bit of a blow, though.

When I was young, I caught the ending on Cartoon Network a couple of times. I never got around to watching it entirely until a couple of years back, and it is fantastic! It's probably the best blending of traditional animation and live-action footage put to screen, due to the profoundly painstaking lengths the production team went to.

While I wish the original author well, even if it is true that the Disney incarnations of the characters are at his disposal, the original was still lightning in a bottle. It had a high budget and a team that respected animation and were passionate about their craft, not to mention the collaboration of two animation titans. You can't expect that from the current era of streaming.

Awful.

That said, a part of me hopes that his actions were due to suicide, and that it wasn't an accident or something. For example, I hope this wasn't a grandpa with memory/cognitive decline issues vacationing with his family, and that he somehow wandered out of his room or something.

They make it basically impossible to accidentally fall overboard with how high the railing and security stuff is. You also cant just "push someone off". You either have to deliberately climb it or someone strong enough to toss somebody over a fence has to be involved.

Parents get their families banned when they lift their kids up to sit on the railing. So think in terms of a dad can get their below 10 up there as far as difficulty goes.

People choosing to commit suicide on something Disney related is pretty common.
 
Saw Zootopia 2 with the family, without spoilers: the animation and the worldbuilding are still very clean. Good visual jokes, a shit ton of movie references and I really liked how they animated the snake. The story is predictable, some characters are detestable, sometimes the film treats us like idiots with the characters saying out loud what we could have guessed and the therapy moments are cringe but it wasn't a bad experience in general.
(also my cinema didn't showed "Versa" so i don't know if it's nice or not)
And if you really really want to know about our duo: no they don't end up being a couple thank God

While I'm little relieved to hear the reception isn't a disaster like previously feared, I won't lie, I'm disappointed by this.

Me too, the callbacks of previous characters was weak, at least they remembered them like Flash, Bogo and Clawhauser but Finnick's was so tiny and immediately disposed up, I'm surprised they got anything out of "Toot-toot" but they did and that was all they got out of that dead guy's recording session.
 
I think what helped Zootopia 2 out is that director Byron Howard is one of the few remaining at Disney who actually knows what he's doing, and has the guts to tell them no to stupid decisions.

He's like the last person working for disney who remembered. "You know we can have a message in our products, you just really need to be ohhh what was the word? Oh yes subtle, about it." Concepts like nuance and tact all but died out the year zootopia came out as they cranked up the culture war.
