Live Action Little Mermaid

That would have been a good sequel to Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds".

Or a sequel to The Lighthouse

He's a hack, and a terrible singer.
I know he composed some shit for Star Wars, and I can't remember what it was. He sucks.

I think it says more about modern Disney than the people who works on their stuff to TBH.

Disney used to have a thing called quality control, these remakes and really all facets of the company have gotten worse and worse over the past decade.

The fact that the remake has a song that essentially undoes the plot point that Ariel can't speak speaks volumes

A giant company like Disney, despite the amount of resources they owned for years, have been absolutely desperate and bankrupt with ideas for a whole decade, and the fact that they've lost so much money all due to their embarrassing decisions still makes me feel good that they'll never survive later on in this decade.

Yeah, they basically get lucky like they did encanto but those are one in a million at this point.

With the lows of the mcu, various actors / voice actors calling them out for mistreatment, these remakes doing worse and worse, and even some of their most loyal individuals (LMM, Alan, etc) not shilling for them during the recent events because of the actor strike.

It feels like they're about to enter a new dark age just like the 1980s

I'd say more like 70s and 80s. Both decades were very rough for Disney as a company once Walt died in 1966 and it couldn't capture the same triumph as he did throughout the 40s through mid-60s.

Considering an era where New Hollywood has formed and big grand scale blockbusters (Jaws, The Exorcist, The Godfather, Rocky, etc.) became critically praised box office htis, Disney was just seen as an absolute joke (just like right now) having to release the same exact films about living, talking objects (such as Gus, Million Dollar Duck, Unidentified Flying Oddball and many more). They did try to stay relevant with more mature themed films such as The Black Hole and Tron with mixed results, which led the company to create their more mature brand, Touchstone, in 1984. Still, I'd say the 70s was more rough for Disney than in the 80s, which was also a rough decade for sure, but people seem to forget about what happened to that company during the 70s

Yeah it was to the point that celebrities didn't even want to appear in their projects.

I feel like we're heading in that direction again though considering how pulverizing they've become on both sides of the spectrum.

Even though Walt Disney was a conservative he knew how to play the field very well unlike modern Disney which is the exact opposite.

The bread and butter The mouse House has been marvel and these awful remakes

And one of the only big name celebs who endorsed Disney during the 70s and 80s was, of all people, Don Knotts. Meanwhile, filmmakers and actors (especially the newbies) were focusing on studios that were for grown-ups, such as Universal, MGM or Fox.

What Disney is doing nowadays has been rinse and repeat of the 70s. Who knows what would happen a decade after, but it's a cautionary tale of how one big name company could buy some big studios and fumble the bed with terrible results. Sure, the house of mouse may have Marvel, Star Wars, Simpsons, Muppets or ESPN under their belt, but they're having a hard time to actually creating something completely original of their own.

Disney back in the day was known for their innovation and in the animation Renaissance from the late '80s through early 2000s they had a rebirth.

However, that was long ago and now they're company who's known for making virtue signaling projects that upon further inspection, have very little filling in them.

When the strikes happen a lot of Disney employees and voice actors spoke out about how they were mistreated by the company, so that progressive facade isn't going to work anymore.

From the late-80s through late-2000s, they've had a lot of success stories, but it had a lot of failures.

The Renaissance only lasted until the late-90s, specifically 1999 with Tarzan being the final entry. Other animated films like Dinosaur, Lilo & Stitch, Emperor's New Groove and more infamously Treasure Planet and Home on the Range were close to being part of the Renaissance, but except for Lilo & Stitch, none of them actually did well at the box office, and the only way for their animation studio to stay afloat is to transition to CG starting with Chicken Little, and also for Disney to buy Pixar as their official extra division.

The early-90s through late-2000s had a surprisingly amount of sports movies. Funny thing is that when they made good sports movies, they really made good sports movies. I'd say even the pop idols from Disney Channel were successful (to a lesser extent). Even the animated TV shows (DuckTales, Gargoyles, Recess, Kim Possible, Proud Family and Phineas & Ferb) were just as popular as the stuff made by Nick or CN. But then again, they had Teacher's Pet.

So it goes without saying that the late-80s through late-2000s was more of a second golden age for the company with the downfall starting in 2010.

Yeah, although a lot of people have nostalgia for the Renaissance even it had a few hiccups that are downplayed because of how quality everything else was.

The curious thing about the 2000s, was that it was when Disney really struck a cord with that tween demographic, and they went all in on the Disney channel.

Disney has just become a huge company with so much power that they have no clue on where to go or how to evolve.

Their main strategy just seems to be acquiring these lucrative franchises and just hopes everything works out for them

Marvel was going well until end game concluded, The Muppets have been bumpy for years, and Star wars largely speaks for itself.
