I have no respect for any grown man or woman (who doesn't have little kids) that is going to see this or the Aladdin remake.

Fucking millennials are the reason why Disney is doing this bullshit. GOD, I hate my generation.
 
The CGI looks impressive, I'll give it that. However, I don't think anyone was clamoring for a 3D remake when the 2D version is still viable. That's the best thing about traditionally animated movies, they age far better than CGI.

Anyway, place your bets: who's gonna be turned into a fag in this movie?

I'd love to see the marketing data on this. Most of the cartoons kids see nowadays are 3d or that horrible cell shaded 3d. Wouldn't surprise me if today's kids think the 2d movies are hokey and outdated and these 3d abominations are just an attempt to repackage surefire hits for a new generation.

From what I've seen, a lot of people are starting to tire a bit of CGI movies and want to see more 2D animation, especially from Disney.

2D still does well on TV, God knows.

Most of the content are based on existing IPs, of course. Why should I be surprised?
 
Remember when disney did mostly animation, aside from the very occasional live action movie? Pepperidge farms remembers.
 
Not gonna lie. That's an impressive amount of content for $7 a month. And this will finally end that bullshit vaulting process.

That may be but there's a hell of a lot of stuff I think should be on there and apparently won't be. With such a big library, especially now, why not take even more advantage of it?

I'd love to see more stuff from their animation archives. If the classic cartoons were on there, and their old 90s shows - not just the Disney Afternoon shows, but the One Saturday Morning stuff, and even the Fox Kids shows they've owned for years and do nothing with (who doesn't want to see The Tick again?) ... then I'd be interested.

Disney is afraid that Bonkers will experience a surge in popularity and replace Mickey as their most beloved character

I miss the old 90's Disney, who seemed to crank out fun, live action kids movies that might as well have been real life cartoons anyway with how slapstick they were.

Is this a joke? It took me all of one minute to check and look at how many live action movies are on this list. The animated movies are clearly a minority and have been so since the 50's.

The live action movies are forgetable, though. It's not like they're getting hyped up remakes like their animated counterparts (except for a few like Mary Poppins, and even that featured animation).

Just because they're largely forgettable (and not good) doesn't mean they're not there, and that it's not their main output.
