Honestly I've never intentionally watched a Disney film. Hot garbage every time I've been subjected to one. Why are there adults who are into them? Whenever I saw "HUGE Disney fan", I would swipe left.

I wish Disney would neck itself.

Now hold on. Not everybody in the Disney fandom is a man/womanchild who has yet to properly grow up...

90% of them are, though.

True. There are fans of animation, people who appreciate them from when they were children but aren't really active fans, middle age+ women who love Winnie the Pooh, etc. But the people he seemed to be asking about were the late 20-30 somethings who are just obsessed.
 
It used to be a problem to being afraid to say you like animation because "its kid stuff".
Now you are afraid to say you are fan of animation because you dont want to be put on the same shelf with those social media fandom morons.
 
I just noticed something from reading in Disney fansites and the like.

Why is it that the cartoon sperg community hasn't made yet a shitastic review of Ralph 2? It has all the elements that made them hate the Emoji Movie. I'm awaiting Doug Walker's review of the film with the thumbnail being his face horribly photoshopped onto Ralph's body.

Welcome to my world. I remember those days when thoughts about animation immediately turned to Disney in my family due to the association, I recall countless relatives who would say I should work there when they heard/seen my work. Nowadays it's become a joke in itself.
 
Now, I do love me some Disney, but I'm not going to love everything they shit out. Movie-wise, Disney has clearly hit a creative impasse. The last animated movie they made that I liked was Moana. Everything else in recent years has been pretty much garbage. And, once again, the live action remakes are offensively terrible. Dare I say, I see a company sucking out the magic.

The parks are still a lot of fun, though. Fight me.

Fun fact: I was at Disneyland for the first time ever not too long ago. "Disneybounding" has become this huuuuge thing among adults who go to the Parks (since Disney has RIGHTFULLY banned costumes for adults). I've done Disneybounding myself (as it encourages me to shop my closet instead of feeling the urge to shop at the Parks-- yay, saving money). However, a lot of adults are taking it to what I think are "costume" levels, and eventually these exceptional people are going to ruin it for everyone. I can't not see Disney eventually stepping in to ban Disneybounding. I saw many adults wear outfits that are pretty much costumes, and not at all "color blocks" of their regular clothes.

I came across two grown women in their 30s (no younger than late 20's) who were dressed up as princesses. I was in one of the bathrooms when I saw them. It was clear that they were only park attendees, and not actual cast members. These crazy bitches were literally speaking to each other loudly IN CHARACTER and IN THE BATHROOM. It was one of the most cringey things I had ever witnessed. So yes, I think that a bunch of Millennial Disney fans have a severe case of Peter Pan syndrome. It's weird, man. And it really isn't cool to pull that kind of shit because it will confuse kids.

It's people like I saw in that bathroom that make me want to encourage bullying.

WTF is "DisneyBounding"?

Short explanation: It's color blocking your clothes to represent a character. For example: If you want to represent Ariel from the Little Mermaid, you could wear green jeans and a purple t-shirt. Or, something easier: If you want to represent Minnie Mouse, you could wear a polka dot sundress/t-shirt/whatever. The name "Disneybound" comes from people who are traveling to Disney World/Disneyland, and have shopped their closets to make outfits to wear at the parks. I've seen lots of families do this as a way to save money as well (so they don't feel the need to buy their kids a shitton of Disney Parks gear that they'll grow out of).

It's become this phenomenon on social media, especially with lots of Instagram models (and wannabe Instagram models). Even some celebrities participate in this thing.

This is RDJ "Disneybounding" as Snow White back in 2017 at the D23 Expo:

Over the past few years or so, though, exceptional adults have been taking it a few steps too far ... To the point where a lot of these outfits look like straight-up costumes ... Which completely defeats the purpose of Disneybounding altogether.

To be fair, the picture on the bottom left corner is from the D23 Expo ... Which is a convention-- which means that cosplay is fair game. I remember seeing these pictures all over instagram from a few years ago. These cosplayers did a group costume of "Disney Princesses as their villains" thing for the convention, which I think is actually pretty cool.

All of the others are definitely from the Parks, though ... And they definitely look costume-y.

This is an example of a GOOD Disneybound outfit:

Definitely not a costume ... But the colors used in the outfit are a proper homage to a Disney character.
 
That's kinda neat, but yeah people being "in character" is fucking annoying as hell even at cons. It's all the suck of fanfic multiplied by the suck of improv.
 
Wait, have the gangs been brought up in this thread yet? I remember there being a post about it in A&H.
 
To this point, I think the only people I've seen that have defended Ralph 2 as a masterpiece and attacked into the Spiderverse for "robbing the Oscar" are probably Disney bootlickers and Princess shills, who have no account for taste...

I mean, why would you want to watch a movie with a good story, sharp writing and a distinct animation style when you can instead watch an hour and a half of Disney sucking their big fat cock?
