A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story. - C.S. Lewis

If disney kept making movies like Coco, Encanto, Brave, Moana, Tangled, Frozen, ect. Then maybe it wouldnt be so bad. They just need to stop with remakes or sequels and make new stuff. The remakes and stuff might be targeted to kids but who do you think is taking the kids to the movies? The parents.

I feel like on top of all the points you made, another reason it feels like people are saying Disney will fail so much is because this is the first slump of their's where we have had social media and KZfaq to talk and complain about it. As a result just about anyone, regardless of whether or not they are qualified to talk about it or if they ever cared for Disney at all to begin with, can now post whatever they want about one side of an extreme, then the media can take a story and run with it, and it can spread much faster than it ever could in the past, so as a result everyone just gets bombarded with extreme views from one end or another. So many people think Disney is dying because they can't turn anywhere on the internet without seeing atleast one post telling them.

Disney need to slow down. They are trying to churn out content at a pace they can't even keep up with. They released 8 mcu shows and at least 3 new star wars shows in the span of 3 years on top of the movie releases with 3 more mcu shows coming by end of 2023. Nobody has the time to watch all of that and with so many releases, the quality has declined noticeably.

I agree that these critiques of Disney are not unique to our time, and I think the comparison of direct to VHS sequels and the live action remakes is especially apt. But I think it's misguided to say that just because Disney didn't die the first few times they hit a low point that they won't die this time. To be clear, I don't personally think they're going to die right now, but I also don't think we can dismiss the speculation out of hand just because those predictions never came true before.

Anyone else just separate the company from the actually talented people helping keep the company alive for 100 years? Same with Warner Bros who is worse, imo.

Not true. During the Renaissance of 1989-1999, Disney was loved by adults as well.

In regards to the question "did you just grow up?" I have some answers. Long rant coming up... I think two very prominent examples of Modern Disney failing to understand Classic Disney is how nowadays their animated films contain meta humor poking fun at tropes that built their older films. You can bet that "Wish" is probably going to contain something like that. Also, they've become less subtle in the way they deliver their messages. People cheer Elsa for saying "yOu cAn't mArrY a mAn yOu jUsT mET" despite the fact that Princess Jasmine demonstrated that statement twenty-one years prior ( Prince Achmed, ). It also annoys me how Flynn Rider is hailed for poking fun at the concept of Musical Theater, which is the backbone of many Disney films. "Strange World" was dull. If you want to see a film that explores the concepts presented in that movie watch either "A Goofy Movie" or DreamWorks "The Croods." "Raya and the Last Dragon" pissed a lot of people off because it had a very blatant message about trust, constantly shows the protagonist's trust being betrayed and on top of that, has the nerve to claim that the world was going to end because the protagonist wasn't trusting enough. Last of all the Pinnochio remake where they had the kids at Pleasure Island drinking Root Beer instead of actual beer. That is one more blatant demonstration of how Modern Disney fails to understand Classic Disney. Rapunzel: And now for the million-dollar question, do people assume that all of your problems went away because a big strong man showed up? Vanellope: Yeah, what is up with that?? Audience: THAT IS LITERALLY WHAT HAPPENED!!

Agree and disagree about this. While I think the company has been struggling since the start of the 2020s, I think it's extremely melodramatic to say that the company will die any time soon. The simple reality is that we're just in another Disney slump era. I know a lot of obscure Disney knowledge, including about its history. They always had peaks and valleys since the very start. The same thing happened in the 40s. The same thing happened during the 80s. The same thing happened in the late 90s/2000s. Guess what? They've always bounce back eventually. Hell, there was even a rumour back in the 80s that Disney would be bought out by another company, which is insane to think about. The only difference now is that we have social media, so anyone can post their hot takes about this new slump in real time, including people who aren't qualified to do so. This also makes that viewpoint spread faster and wider than ever. I don't the current political climate in the US, ie the witch hunt against "wokeness" by the right and people using that for ragebait...even to the point of "creating their own Snow White" (yes, really), only adds fuel to the fire. However, I do agree with the "haters" in the sense that the company is losing its direction creatively, and it has REALLY showed as of late. Most of the live action movies are cheap carbon copies of the original and people are growing sick and tired of them. (Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the new Snow White one bombs, because of all of the hate lobbed at it and people praying for it to fail due to the Rachel Ziegler controversy.) People are burnt out by Marvel movies. They are swinging away from fairytales and folklore, which is turning people off, even people on the left like me. Hell, I remember reading the comments from a Disney Japan TikTok on that version of the Wish trailer, and most of them said things like "Why wasn't this in 2D?" and "Where's the romance?" Many of the other international trailers had similar comments on them. This isn't just western trolls and people who love to complain, it's a lot of other people around the world who believe this, including people "off line", so to speak. Even I want to see romance in Disney movies again! Disney just needs to give Iger the boot and hire a new head of the company or at least some people high up in the company that care both about the creative aspect and the money. (The last two CEOs only cared about the latter.) Someone who can greenlight projects that will put them in the right direction again like bringing back 2D, stories based on fairytales, villains and romances, and canning the stupid live action remakes and meta references that makes it seem like they have zero understanding of their own properties. Yes, Disney was always a company first, but I don't think it should ever lose sight of that creative spark as well. I think it has over the last several years. Wish is at least a push in the right direction.

Disney is not dying, they're struggling

14:36 I don't know why but for some reason the back to back hugs between Rafiki and Mufasa and Peter and Tony made me choke up a little.

This is exactly why we need to support Disney’s original works. The more money movies like Wish will make, the more Disney will invest into them and the better they become. We can’t be so quick to dismiss it or else we will be getting even more live action remakes and marvel movies.

I dont think it has anything to do with growing up,yes people can outgrow things,but when a story is good it doesn't matter how old someone is the nostalgia and story will always bring them back to watch it,that was what made disney movies so good, what's killing disney now is their hatred towards fans and stories, changing beloved classics to soulless preachy remakes,and attacking fans who dont like it, this in turn has made fans turn their backs on them, the company may not be dying out completely now but if it keeps up with this kind of story telling its on its way.

What’s crazy is the black cauldron has better ratings than a strange world

The only time Disney is dead when they literally aren’t a company anymore. I love Disney, but recent years they been making stupid choices and u can say they’re “risks”, but when ur making multiple similar mistakes then no they’re not risks anymore. Honestly the only thing that’s made me feel like Disney got its groove back was their recent short with animated characters throughout the years come together as it was just simple and felt like it had that Disney Charm to it.

Thank you for your enlightening video putting the rumors to rest. It just doesn't help that, unlike the 1940's or the 1970's/80's or even the early 2000's, this is the era of social media, when people can say whatever they want, even if it happens to be misinformation. Rumormongers have their hands full!

Disney's history reminds me of the story of Sisyphus, always pushing the boulder back up after losing his grip and watching it fall down. They pushed the boulder up when first starting out and after releasing Snow White, but then it fell down with World War II, they pushed it back up with movies like Cinderella and Peter Pan only to lose it again with the death of Walt Disney, fending off hostile takeovers and the animation studio nearly going bankrupt in the 80s before picking the boulder back up again at last with the Disney Renaissance, then the boulder started sliding down again during the shift away from 2D to 3D in the early 2000's, then back up with movies like Tangled, Frozen and Moana before going back down again after the COVID-19 pandemic. Perhaps this being the 100th anniversary can motivate them to pick the boulder back up again with Wish, we'll just have to wait and see.

Disney has shifted gears from providing "family entertainment" to catering to the latest trends and fads. They have doubled down on all the buzzwords and hot topics and completely lost sight of clever stories, well written characters and continuing their legacy. You can still show kids today the original Lion King, Mulan, Little Mermaid etc etc and they will be entertained. I can pretty much guarantee in 10 years absolutely nothing they have made in the last 5 years (probably more) will hold up. It's all way to tailored to their particular perceived mood of the moment rather than sticking to the classic formulas they were once so good at. Timeless vs momentary. They are absolutely in a slump and if they keep going in the direction they are headed in now, they will crash and burn, hard. They are already in a death spiral, unless they pull up it's all over for them. "Growing up" has nothing to do with it, Disney in it's heyday entertained adults and kids alike with clever stories, plot lines only adults could pick up on and brilliant stories that have proven they stand the test of time. Disney today is nothing more than a giant corporate conglomerate trying to use brute force to market weak material. Love or hate their newer material, the numbers speak for themselves, there is no debate, their movies and shows are bombing at the box office. The world has spoken and the majority don't like what Disney is putting out, agree with them or not, the majority is where the money is. Personally, the best I can say for any of Disney's newer offerings is "it was OK", not a good place to be. I hope they recover, they were a staple for generations, it would be tragic to see them fail now.

No, they definitely are dying

Disney isn’t “dying” literally you are right it’s just the company has taken some crazy choices in which have decreased the quality of almost everything in their scope from movies to parks. I’m a Florida resident and have enjoyed the parks since i was young to now when im 25 but there is no denying seeing the cut backs they have taken in the park. Even just from 5 years ago there is a big difference. Also their writing has seem to have taken a mega “woke” and girl boss style which isn’t necessary in a kids movie. Look at Barbie, you don’t always need to be a “girl boss” to be a princess. I think the difference between now and what I’ve seen happen back in the 2000s and heard what happened in 90s and 50s is Disney redeemed themselves at some point and with how easy it is to connect with your audience now and listen to their opinions they have no excuse to continue with things like their dark lighting and low budget remakes. Disney atm has been flopping for years now and hasn’t proved their comeback really and seem like they arent listening to their fans. It proved this year with Little Mermaid and even Elemental.

It sounds crazy, People have been growing up ever since they started existing. They don't randomly start millions of years later in the 2020's. *Disney Is Dying.*

I live throughout the 90's and early 2000's when they were making and profiting direct to video Disney sequels movies and new original animated film like Atlantis The Lost Empire, Treasure Planet, and Home on the Range were box office failures and when you like a direct to video sequels is like how we see with live-action Disney remakes of classic animated film and making feature length animated sequels such as toy story 5 and Zootopia 2 (Which I'm looking forward to it) They are still making new and original animated films such a Encanto, Strange World (Which didn't do so well) and of course Wish which I did enjoy it despite that it's not at it's finest and under-preformed at the box office. To with so many people saying that "Disney is has fallen, Disney is dying, this is the final nail in the coffin for Disney. They kept saying that for decades and what makes them think is going to happen now or this can be no different for Disney to bounce back into successes like they done before? What makes them think that this time Disney would never bounce back again like they did in the past even when Bob Iger does finally step down and a new successor would take over the Disney Company as new CEO?

I think the title for this video could have been; "Disney Isn't dying, You're Just Immature".

I think people *wanting* Disney to die out is mostly politically motivated as well as spite tbh.

These KZfaqrs like Ryan and so on are pissing me of the title and thumbnail are all identical he mentions the word woke like 50 in a video the community is also completely garbage

But I don’t feel that the DTV movies from the '90s and the '00s are as bad as the live-action re-makes from the '10s and the '20s. The DTVs at least told us new stories about the characters from older movies and gave us some interesting new characters as well. Most of the live-action re-makes though are just cheap attempts to copy much better movies from the past without bringing anything interesting to the table. And I thought that "Sleeping Beauty" was the second most successful movie of 1959, but it was so expensive to make that it still couldn’t be profitable? Likewise, what I thought was that all the Renaissance movies except for the outlier "The Rescuers Down Under" made a profit even if some weren't huge hits.

I agree, also if you watch shows you watched as a kid they're probably not as funny as you remembered, watching victorious as a 16 year old was very interesting bc I didn't laugh once

The current policital climate along with COVID is why I thing Disney lost its magic

My problem with Disney is the following: • Sequel Fatigue. Toy story was an incredible concept... Why do we need 5 films about it? You cannot be THAT creatively bankrupt, can you? Just make a new story. There's a wealth of infinite ideas amongst many people from various cultures, backgrounds, and traditions... Yet Disney doesn't care, they see a formerly successful product and they will milk the cash cow until it can't no more. That's not good business because it successfully and slowly poisons the name of the beloved project. Why was Star Wars beloved before Disney? It ended on Episode 6. Why was the MCU loved after Endgame? It ended on Endgame. Seriously you can do this with any franchise like Terminator, Alien, Indiana Jones, etc. Movies like Back to the Future remain beloved because it ENDS and makes way for new ideas to thrive. • Politics > Storytelling. Compare Mulan the animation to its live action counterpart (one is beloved my millions whilst the other is highly controversial amongst millions. Can you guess which is which?). Better yet compare the old Star Wars movies to the new ones. Disney, though it has some good modern films like Coco which is simply a plot of a broken family, enjoys weaving political views into their movies like the LGBTQ couple in Lightyear (which is why it bombed globally and is evident surrounding articles on the film. Even going as far as the original Buzz Lightyear VA speaking out on the matter). • Lazy Remakes. Again this is self explanatory. No one likes the remakes. Disney, instead of milking an old IP for nostalgia bait, should really invest that money in making new products. DreamWorks, though not nearly as successful the past few decades, is interesting because of the variety they produce. They make flops but they also make masterpieces. Disney wants to play it safe and thus we get things like MCU movies that feel the same post Endgame- No tension, flat characterisation, and very bland plots. Compare Tangled (2010) to Frozen 2 (2019) and you can not only see a quality downgrade, but you can evidently feel it too. That's not nostalgia talking it's the simple truth. Gothel was a villain that gave the characters tension for time (2 days) and behind the scene schemes. Repuzel was characterized about her hobbies, hopes, and dreams in the first opening song (bloody impressive for what it is and doesn't come off as unnatural). The plot of Tangled is simple from Repuzel's perspective but complex for an entire kingdom over the loss of am heiress being kidnapped. Frozen can't even compare and it's a writing issue for other modern Disney products. Disney is a problem and there's plenty of evidence to display their modern issues. They are a company that can do better but choose not to. Do I even need to bring up Wreck It Ralph (2012) and compare how great it is compared to its crappy sequel which was a glorified advertisement with a creepy, out-of-character Ralph? (Edit: I did reply in my comment. If you don't see it it's either invisible or deleted. I'm not retyping my counter argument. Simply put China, a big revenue source for Disney which the maker of this video fails to acknowledge, doesn't like gay and thus gay nullifies Disney's income. No income? No more gay. No more gay? Income. Push agenda=Bad business. Quality storytelling > Political ideology. It's a statistical truth, simply do research on it)

Oh no, they are indeed declining. They need to treat their workers better.

I'm just not sure what pepole want anymore, live action movies like Aladdin and lion king "ruined people's childhoods" and original movies like Wish everyone keeps criticising. So what do disney fans want live action or original ideas? It's better to give the original ones a try and I can understand why live action remakes don't do as good. But either way your growing up! All and all these are kids/ Family movies, made for kids!

While I do hope Disney returns to fairy tales, I've enjoyed many of their new ideas, especially the musicals.

Encanto proves that they can still make great new characters and movies

Why does Disney get so much hate? I get it the quality isnt as good like back then but theyre only making bad content while companys like Shein make worse things like stealing, child,slavery, pollution and so on and get ignored and get tons of money while Disney only makes bad content like come on its ridiculous

It's not even just growing up for me, I'm just sad 2D animated movies will never be profitable enough for Disney to make feature films with again. I know it's too expensive and they definitely don't have the time or tools to execute it like they used to, but I can't help but be disappointed about it 😮‍💨 Can only really get that fix consistently with anime or other overseas 2D animated movies now I guess...

Yeah Disney has "Died" many times But its not because we're growing up its because Disney always seems to get Confident and think they can't fail and Start making Shit No its not growing up But yeah they'll probably be fine

I was quite surprised when I found that "The Black Cauldron" had failed when I first heard that a few years ago. The film isn't bad. It just seems that it had come out at the wrong time, unfortunately sitting in between after the Sword and Sorcery genre of films was popular and were out of fashion, but at the same time, a little too soon before that genre of film became popular again. Also, that film made a mistake in making it seem that Princess Eilonwy was not actually a real Princess, even though she was in the original story, though maybe people misunderstood this and took it to heart when the Horned King called her just a scullery maid, without considering that he was probably lying about this or something... Princess Eilonwy is or should be considered to be a Disney Princess.

Can we just agree that the villain in Wish looks strange? Like an adult with a child’s face

I'm old enough to remember Disney from before the renaissance (I was 9 when Little Mermaid came out) and I remember all of the reruns of the terrible terrible live action films from the 60s which Disney also remade many of in the 2000s. I'd love to see essays from someone who grew up watching stuff like Flubber or The Parent Trap compare them to the versions from the 60s.

Disney is essentially dead in terms of really pushing the boundaries of animation and film making. The studio that right now fascinates us like Disney did in the past is Studio Ghibli. Why does Studio Ghibli inspire us like Disney used to? Because Hayao Miyazaki is still alive, he's there realizing his vision like Walt Disney did in the past. Disney may stay around for a long time pushing out average films that make money, but they won't inspire us. That's for Hayao Miyazaki to do for a few more years. You are right, Disney has been a shadow of its former self for decades. It isn't a new phenomena, it's not just about original stories, it's about original stories that truly touch us. I don't think the current team at Disney can do this.

Ok, Disney isn't dying per se, but it does have an infection that if left untreated will kill them eventually. A healthy company isn't going to win every time, take a punch every now and then but get back up and keep going like it didn't happen. Disney right now has had a lot of punches recently, with some breaking the skin with the area turning red and hot to the touch, and others are starting to fester and ooze. Sure, these aren't anything serious like cancer or heart failure, but if they don't stop and properly treat their wounds eventually it will become gangrenous and the only option becomes amputation or ignoring until it kills you. They may be a multi-billion dollar company, but if all they do is lose millions of dollars a year after after all the balance sheet stuff eventually they will run out of money and fail; it might take 1000 years (hence my "small infections" analogy), but that's still not "never."

For real, *THANK YOU* for this (👏)! As a longtime Disney fan, it legit *_pisses me off_* that in this heavily politicized social media age we're all currently living in, I can't go _anywhere_ online without seeing some _"Death of Disney"_ or _"WOKE Disney is DYING"_ fear-mongering *BS (🤬)!* What you did here is bring forth the BIGGER picture about Disney as a whole, one that many I feel _sadly_ overlook or just don't think about. Heck, I genuinely believe Disney _will_ turn itself around for the better and ultimately rise above this climate, and be around for as long as any of us will be; I'm genuinely optimistic like that (😊).

I think it is just a separate era. Like what were people saying in the Disney dark ages what came after that the rennicance. This just happens every ten years or so and they will come back in the 2030s I know they will

I just want 2D animation to come back.

No, those of us who grew up have children and grandchildren who will never grow up on anything Disney.

I think Disney's current day problem is that they're remaking a bunch of old stuff and they need to stop that. Nobody wants to see something we already seen a thousand times. They also heavily sprinkle in politics into their newest films. I feel like for a (mostly) child audience that is unnecessary. Even adults that love Disney don't want to see that in movies. Some of their newer projects that isn't a remake or live action is somewhat good. Although, I didn't particularly like Wish that much. I think most people didn't care for it tho. I liked Elemental, Turning Red, Encanto, and Luca. I am just going to talk about Disney/Pixar movies in this comment. I have my own issues with the Marvel universe. I believe that's its own category lol.

No, It isn't the fact that the hundreds of millions of disney fans suddenly reached some age at which you no longer like disney....not that at all. It is due to the direction they have taken in the past 7-8 years or so.

Honestly, I feel like the reason why Disney is in this situation because maybe to put simply Disney doesn't want us anymore. I might sound like a moron, but considering that Disney no longer cares about original movies (as seen for their "marketing" on their newer animated movies) and also considering that Disney no longer wants to listen to us and what we want (as shown in the many sequels and live-action remakes that no one asked for) but also to the fact that Disney is just making bad movies that are literally just flops after flops after flops for like, what, 2 - 3 years at this point?, Seriously though, how many flops can Disney actually take at this point?, I honestly starting to believe that Disney is starting to slowly die. P.S: Please don't reply to this comment saying about my profile picture, I am a autistic teenager by the way.

In my honest opinion, while you are right about this. I do believe that the remakes will be better received in the future, just like those Tinker Bell movies are these days. The Snow White remake is gonna be the last remake I'll plan to see. I want that movie to succeed the way Apocalypse Now did, because even THAT went over budget. I do say the live action remakes are at least thousand times better than the corporate non-Disney animations from the 90s. Looking at you troll in Central Park. But really, let me put it this way. If the world was 100 percent original ideas and no sequels or remakes, the world would be boring. I want Disney to be 50/25/25. 50 percent originals 50 precent sequels and remakes.

Right on the dot. A very perfect explanation of the Disney company. I'm sure we all have our fair share of criticisms regarding Disney, and sure not every movie and show they make is gonna be great, but these anti-Disney folks are just pushing some narrative that is far from the truth. Even if the projects are good, this anti-Disney crowd would always nitpick something to make the project look bad. I'm sure that Disney will get their magic back again, and Once Upon a Studio pretty much proves that they still have the magic. All in all, this viewpoint is such a refreshing take on Disney

I think it's partially from growing up and partially because Disney's movies are worse off because instead of making family oriented movies they used to, It's mostly all kids oriented so now only little kids might enjoy it but the parents can't enjoy it with their kids. Once the kids grow up they aren't going to like the movie anymore, some might only cuz of nostalgia, some kids may even find the movie boring as a kid compared to older disney films. I mean alot of kids living in technological era are a lot smarter than people realize and don't just watch movie cuz pretty colors fart joke lol. And idk I feel like it's so fullfilling when you watch a movie you saw as a kid and catch on adult and dark humor in the movie that you didn't understand or catch on when you were a kid. I'm a bit fed up when people get mad or shocked about hidden adult/dark humor and subtle dark topics in family oriented films when these things don't really mess with kids unless it was explicit. And just because something might give a kid nightmares like Coraline for instance, doesn't make it bad, some kids actually like getting scared and on their edge of their seats watching a movie. Also just cuz you understand subtle dark things in movies more as an adult doesn't mean a child would and if the child did they probably learned about it somewhere else. For instance in "The Incredibles" when there was a suicide scene in the beginning, as a kid I didn't catch that on, I thought he just accidentally fell off the building and got mad at mr incredible for being injured. A Disney movie today would never have a dark scene like that in a movie now. I have to say I was blown out of the park by the movie elemental because it actually was something adults could watch without feeling insanely bored. Sure there were some cringe disney moments but it was actually entertaining unlike strangeworld. I really hope this new wish movie will not be horrible like the raya and the last dragon movie which blatant lesson on trust made no sense. I'm hoping the villian in it will be really evil and not end up being a redeemable character. Also the more recent disney stories are just not that well written as the older disney films possibly because there is a lot on their shoulders about what they think is appropriate for kids and not going to get them cancelled on the Internet. And they are trying to get movies out faster and so they aren't really giving the writers much time. The Incredibles is such a good and intising well written story meanwhile strangeworld's story is just so bland.

It's very easy to get frustrated and jaded over a corporatioin that all or most followers except to do better.It's not that simple and never was. There are other ramificationsa more pressing than trying to get back what Uncle Walt's dreams were suppose to be. Other companies go through this. They go forward and move on. This is no different.

As someone who doesn’t really care for the modern CGI era of Disney animation, I was somewhat optimistic for Wish, but I’ve just not been impressed with anything they’ve shown so far. I’m not gonna call it bad before it releases of course but what I’ve seen hasn’t grabbed me. I don’t like the live action remakes either and wish people would stop going to see them, but not every original is going to be amazing either. “You don’t think this looks good? Well then you clearly just want more live action remakes!” Nope.

I think Disney is falling down a lot but they won’t die unless the investors stop investing.

Great Video! I‘m excited for Wish actually ❤

Nah incredibles 2 came out and had a stay at home dad and breadwinner mom and that movie made over a billion easy Disney just got wack as hell as times gone on they keep pandering remaking or trying to revive old shit

I don't usually comment or watch stuff like this because it's almost always a cesspool of negativity and I'm staying away from that,(I can't even watch reviews of Once Upon a Studio unfortunately because it's all just this kind of nonsense) but I wanted to watch this and now I have a long comment so brave yourself lol You absolutely hit the nail on the head with this. I have been saying to people for years that Disney has been through numerous peaks and valleys, it's just their thing, and in the eighties and 2000's people said the same thing. They thought they'd never go back to 2D in the 2000's and turned to studios like DreamWorks which they felt were producing more original and heartfelt content. When The Black Cauldron came out in the eighties, everyone said the studio was dead and to give up on it. I am a huge Disney nut and follow their history as I find it fascinating and literally nothing new is happening in terms of their failures. Disney can and will bounce back. In fact the Renaissance is the reason so many people fondly look back at Disney because it's a newer generation of movies people have grown up with. And I honestly kinda blame those movies for this new thought process lol Anyway, I don't have anything to add. The fact you're getting so many in the comments who can't actually debate and just want to say 'their movies suck because they're woke now' or 'yeah well they're bad and you suck' proves they don't actually have the ability to properly debate or discuss. Don't listen to those haters, they're just upset you spoke the truth. And for those who say Disney isn't listening to fans, yes they are. They are scaling back on Marvel movies. They're canning the live-action remakes. They're pulling money from Disney+. They're making a 2D movie and have plans for new fairytale adaptations. They ARE listening to fans, they always have, you guys just don't actually care about the studio enough to follow them. Also they've always been a business making money. A lot of these beloved movies were made solely for money. Walt Disney was a businessman first and foremost and we shouldn't act like he wasn't. He pioneered tons of stuff just for money. Not just his movies and the parks, but he was also one of the first to cash in on TV, AND color TV at that. Who remembers Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color? I study the history extensively as I said, this stuff is fascinating and I'm so glad I finally have a video agreeing with me on this. You can absolutely criticize Disney, I hate how they treat their animators and workers at the theme parks, but that's also kinda just par for the course with huge companies. I wanted to give you a positive comment you could engage with instead of having to deal with haters constantly because you deserve it for speaking the truth. And another thing, everyone needs to shut up about Strange World and Lightyear. Oh no, one bad movie! What about Encanto? Soul? That shows that these people likely don't even care about the output, they just want to complain and focus on the negative side of things. They have assets elsewhere, even if one area goes down, it's not their end. Maybe one day, but it's not imminent. A lot of their loss is in stocks anyway. I'm fascinated by people my age saying this stuff. I am very excited for Wish :) And thanks for the video and reading this super long thing.

Random but your voice is very soothing

I do find it funny that all the anti disney KZfaq videos can barely get above 1000 views like this is only a small amount of haters trying to change the corporation and they are failing because KZfaq is also failing

I’m Glad to Be A Looney Tunes Fan and I Have Nothing To Do With Disney

Nelson Peltz is our only hope to save disney. The movie Wish is also our only hope. I will support wish. I'm sure that disney will be save again like in the mid-late 1980s and early 1990s(with the great mouee detective and the little mermaid saved disney in the 1980s.) I belive in disney him-self(without bob iger and bob cheapk). Bob iger must be out of his job. We need a new lead that will respect walt's legeacy without woke politic movies and series.

🧢 I hate Frozen and mostly everything that came after it except for Encanto. They have declined in quality, my enjoyment of Encanto is proof of that. They just need to do better

Not when Disney goes and changes a whole tv Channel to something else and changes it’s content to stuff no one cares about and lies to our face about it. For Pete’s Sake Iger somehow thought Toon Disney was only for girls. I’m like hold up so Gargoyles, Goof Troop,Aladdin ta, Beyblade,Buzz lightyear of star command,Bonkers,Chipndale rescue rangers,Darkwing Duck,Duck tales etc etc etc so on so forth was somehow meant for Girls only an idiot would buy that idea.

This is the best video ever finally someone understands

As an actor I agree with all of this!!!!

More people need to see this

I dont think so....nintendo always releasing kid friendly goods or shonen jump always have something to release for kids to young teens.....what matters is content and good storywriting

I really appreciate this video

I feel like you have the same number of likes on a lot of your videos I’ve noticed binging your channel

I agree but I’m still a child and I’m a nerd too

I do think Disney is dying from a creative & quality standpoint. I can't a imagine a future for the company that doesn't involve them pumping out MCU , Star Wars & Live Action Remake content non stop every year. For the past decade they've been relying on those three to make them profits and after 2016 I feel like Disney has seemingling given up on trying to do anything original with them only occasionally making original films and even when they do something new often times it either fails or it isn't good or it both fails and it isn't good. I know both Marvel and Star Wars are also struggling but whenever Disney does have a hit it usually comes from one of those franchises their remakes on the other hand as of recently have either flopped at the box office like Mulan & Little Mermaid or were sent straight to Disney + with the films Pinocchio & Peter Pan & Wendy. The only recent expectation I can think of when it comes to a non mcu or star wars film doing well is Encanto which also flopped in theatres and only became a success on Disney +. You are right when you say that Disney has struggled financially before and managed to make a comeback so they'll probably bounce back from this as well but if their films continue to flop like they are now I think they will either have to downsize their company (which is what I hope happens) or they'll crash and burn. The last thing I have to say is that one thing I've never heard people criticize Disney for nearly as much as they do now is the companies attempts to insert themselves into politics whether it be race swapping characters, focusing too much on the gender of some of their female characters like She-Hulk & Captain Marvel or films like Mulan being propaganda etc.

Absolutely not. Disagree with the title of this video right off the bat. The caliber of films disney creates has declined. Surely they’ve had rough patches before but their greed has far exceeded anything experienced in their history and it has wholly affected the creative output of the brand in a way it never has before.

If it’s just people grew up then how come I can go back and enjoy the classic Disney films including ones that I previously hadn’t watched such as Treasure Planet but I haven’t enjoyed much other content outside of Encanto and Bluey and Disney doesn’t make Bluey. I think Disney IS on the decline and those who deny it aren’t paying attention. Besides the Marvel and Star Wars content is declining and that’s supposed to be for the older crowd and nerds.

The reason ITS DIFFERENT this time is because disney is making decisions IN SPITE of bad stories and movies, its not just that the movies are bad its that this is the first time in history that not just disney but collectively companies have insentives to be OVERTLY POLITICAL and PREACHY, AND CATER to a small group of investors like blackrock etc. which have a score based on how "inclusive" you are, This is the first age of THEY DON'T CARE TO LOSE MONEY! Money is not the point right now, THERE SCORE IS! And there is a huge reason for that even if it sounds counter productive, This is a very unique time in history and its the first time this what you can call a social experiment has been run on a massive coorperate scale and people are so sick of it , its starting to effect the globe, South parks panderverse being released is a great example on how a problem is getting so out of hand and the SAME PROBLEM that people needed to act! See in the past, Disney succeded and failed becuase of their OWN problems, Now its not just disney IT IS GLOBAL COORPERATIONS across the WEST! Agenda driven, not story driven!

Disney has good ideas but terrible execution

While your video has many things right, it has the many key factors wrong. Let divide Disney into 4 eras: OG, Post-OG (after Walt's Death), Renaissance, and Recent. One, as Ebert said, classic movies always feel new whenever you rewatch it. That's the mark of quality between the OG Disney and their Renaissance, compared to recent Disney. One key misunderstanding you have, is that while money is always a factor, ART is a far more prominent motivation in the past. This is I repeat is Key. In the OG era, Disney was pushing animations in all front, while the films are deeply personal. Instead of jokes and gags like Ted Avery and other pioneers, Disney focused on childhood dreams. Sleeping Beauty is his magnum opus, all the elements that this union-buster made. No matter how much profit is made, Disney is proud and deeply in love with that one. The slump post-OG are also full of personal films too. My favorite being "The Fox and the Hound". They don't make money, but they are great in their own right. The Renaissance came because of Hollywood taking control of this art studio, and bring in Broadway writers. It is a collaboration of art and business, with Katzenberg focused entirely on audience response, and Harold or Howard (forgot his name) in artistic direction. Throughout these 3 eras, male protagonists are about the same or outnumber the female ones. (Dumbo, Bambi, Aladdin, Simba,..etc) Not everything they made are classics. But most are looked at fondly. Business hated risk, Katzenberg, Eisner and Iger are the same type, but Katzenberg are better in making better risk-averse decisions. Today Disney movies are classic examples of designed-by-committee, made to pander to social critics and market research. This behavior began when Andy Mooney saw how much merchandise Disney Princesses are selling and made the princesses the main icons of Disney animations, and building the entire Disney brand around what made the princesses successful. The demands of Disney Princess being role models increased, and Disney respond to it by having more princesses portraying traits of independence. That made all the princesses the same, losing their uniqueness. It made entirely to satisfy customer demands. What cost this recent massive decline, is that the audience are bored to death with the same protagonists and messages repeated a dozen times a minute. With Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, Aurora, Ariel, I can see their difference in personality. With the new ones, they are all the same, I could not remember their names if it is not in the movie title. The movies are fine, or below average, while the messages are boring, or didactic. It is like having Liza Simpson constantly nagging at you in every animated films. I would really enjoy the death of Disney. I always hated the idea of being lectured in basic morality by an immoral multi-billion corporation. In traditional animations, after the year 2000, the crown and throne belong to Asian studios especially the Japanese. In term of CGI animations, Dreamworks and Illuminations, had surprise me greatly in the last 20 years. Disney can go, and the stranglehold of copyright can go with it.

rest in peace disney studio anytime soon

No, they are chasing to die. Specifically, they are choosing Black Rock, and they DEI and ESG scores over good storytelling. If they are not careful, the entire entertainment industry will go down in one big bang, and get replaced by more talented, more interesting new( or old) comers.

Agree

Very right you are. Disney is making more money NOW than they ever did in the past.

Walt Disney was not saint but not a devil either Rip Walt Disney 😢

Nah disney is dying

Disney won't actually die, but they are heading into another long winter.

Yep, literally happens every decade haha

I knew it.

DISNEY Declined because they went Woke and even then.Anime and other Animators evolved thier Art styles,while Disney just keeps lacking and can't keep up.

I just love ❤️ Disney❤️ so much, I love Disneyland ,I like song ,I love Star Wars and marvel , i love pirates C ,I don’t know why toxic people doing this that hateful need to stop

Uh yeah, disney is dying

Very beautiful analysis ❤

Artistically speaking they are dying (ignoring money).

Please spread awareness about this video and we need to help Disney in making the right decision in future projects. #spreadawareness. FRICK DISNEY HATERS!

You just keep telling that to yourself, maybe it'll become true one day. As the social justice facists hope their shit will be more than a niche thing.

Amazing explanation. These anti Disney people just do stuff that is far from true. They try to ruin everythings potential without even realizing its potential. Once upon a studio showed us they still have the magic. These people just spread bullcrap thats only hate and has no truth. Theyre just hate groups. Oh, and people think that Disney isnt listening to fans, but they actually are. Theyve cut back on marvel movies and returned to that fairytale vibe of wish!

Really im 10 and think disney fell off

Disney is dying because they are focusing in putting Lgbtq couples in movies and forgetting about everything else, plot doesn't matter. Their movies aren't even for kids anymore.

As someone who didn't have access to any classic animated Disney movies until late teenhood - Disney stories were never that good, most of them are extremely boring and bland, especially the princess stories, the animal ones where they let themselves a bit more loose were more appealing to me. And I ADORE animation, but Dreamworks or indie studios' storytelling is much better. It's really the artistry that pulled you in, and now that they're doing what everybody else is doing (their cgi animation is good, but not at all unique compared to other studios), it's lost its charm to many, aside from growing up and society/culture changing (which Disney refuses to acknowledge).

Nope, Disneynis very much dying bud

Disney still lives and it’s here to stay.

This video aged poorly... Disney had two massive bombs since this video was published.

I think you have to be devoid of cinematic taste if you can’t see the difference of what Walt did to right now. The company started out making films that every age could enjoy… that’s not the case anymore.
