Part of the reason Wish isn’t in 2D like how a lot of Disney fans wanted for Disney 100 is because of the direct effects of the downfall aftermath of Treasure Planet, Atlantis, Brother Bear, and Home on the Range. All except for the last one (which was just a flop, period) mentioned here were criminally undervalued. With the obvious exceptions of The Princess and The Frog and Winnie the Pooh, which acted as animated placeholders, Disney effectively abandoned 2D Animation altogether simply because it is and was no longer profitable compared to its 3D counterparts, and by extension, not a priority for them. Tangled and Frozen then served to solidify (no pun intended) and reinforce that attitude Disney already had towards traditional 2D methodologies. They doubled down on 3D CG for the next decade, which brings us to the storytelling issues and tropes plaguing Walt Disney Pictures / Animation today. Had the Walt Disney Company stuck by 2D after 2011, or even kept 2D projects going into the late 2000’s, instead of the full pivot into Pixar and the 3D in-between movies (Chicken Little and Meet The Robinsons), then backtracking to PATF in ‘09, traditional 2D would have lasted a little longer and would have garnered much more respect by the story creators and the executive directors at Disney.

Eisner did not believe in Disney magic and went looking for new magic. He then treated any new magic he did find( Pirates of the Caribbean, Pixar) like trash. Bob Iger on the other hand believes in no magic at all. Only the corporate machine and the political game both corporate and otherwise. He thinks with the right story formula and character templates he can just mass produce product for the unwashed masses to gobble down while he makes Disney his own personal kingdom. He has mismanaged everything he bought, revitalized nothing that fell apart, and has spent Disney deep into debt. He and his minions need to go and that includes his hand picked board to be replaced with people that will be a check on the new CEO like they are supposed to be instead of cheerleaders.

Fun fact: during Frozen 2 production Chris Buck wanted Elsa to die at the end of the movie just because his own son died in a car crush. Not because that would be a logical plot point, not because that would make sense for the characters. No, he just wanted her dead for his own selfish personal reasons. Because he wanted the audience to feel the same pain as he felt when his son died. As you can see, it's not only Bob Iger's or Chapek's fault. That whole company is rotten to the core, with talentless moronic people at the top of the hierarchy. People who can't make good movies or right decisions even if they lives depended on it.

Chris Buck's reasoning somewhat reminded me of Toy Story 4's director explaining the reason why Bonnie wasn't interested playing with Woody in the start of the movie was inspired by his own daughter losing interest playing with her own Woody doll. It wasn't because it could makes sense or seem like a logical plot point within the series' continuation, but because the director's daugther got bored playing with toys. It's one thing to add something from your personal experiences to a piece of media you're working on, especially if it's those real life experiences that inspired said creation. But it's another to add something to a story in a way JUST because of personal experience. Didn't even try to weave it in naturally within the existing plot, but because they want to show what and how they felt. That's not good storytelling, that's just sharing your experiences in a place that doesn't necesseraly need it. One shouldn't be ashamed experiencing grief and such, but there's the proper time, place, and outlet of showcasing it...and it's not always.

I do like that they tried to (and did accomplish) doing their own thing, but they could’ve done more.

Disney is creatively bankrupt, for about 5 years they have had a drought, this has damaged the future more then the present, the parks are filled with Disney Adults, alcohol is served and childless adults. Families are attaching to other companies IPs and going to their parks. The mSNBC story tells the story that of an Iger that never left his offices and was in charge of the creative side, most of the failings are on the creative side, even the Scarlet Johansson debacle could fall under Iger’s preview. The movies take years to make, the trash coming out this year and early next year was green lit under Iger, the stuff later in the year is Cheapeks. Dumping the junk on D+ has been an epic failure and undermining their value. The Florida debacle will cost them Hundreds of Billions over a 50 year scope, the new CFTOD special district will level the playing field with their competitors.

I try to convince myself the same attitude of hatred and glee at Disney’s daily but then I catch one of the classic Disney films and all I feel is sadness because those classics are so good and their company and creators names have been tarnished and even smeared by the current leadership. I was rewatching Song of the South on Laserdisc and broke down crying realizing what was done to Splash Mountain was wrong and that movie is misunderstood. That movie is NOT racist; it’s actually quite the opposite. Especially if you “Dig a little deeper” to quote The Princess and the Frog.

As a customer I like to feel like my time is being well spent when I engage with my entertainment, I would rather creators take risks and fall flat on their faces then for them to just recycles the same things over and over. Disney with their soulless live-action remakes and uninspired animation in their animated movies just comes across like they aren't trying anymore, they are taking me as a customer for granted.

Disney lost the magic of why their creator Walt Disney made his name in the first place. These recent live action remakes are just soulless and bland. And their actors are just toxic and don’t give two sh!ts of the characters they portray in. Like I said, I want Disney to go overboard.

@@dadaaxel3189 The reason why people find the Disney remakes soulless is because, for one thing, they defeat the purpose of why a remake should be made in the first place. A remake or reboot should only be made if the source material had flaws that needed improvement. Most of the original Disney films that have remakes were fine the way they were, but Disney doesn’t seem to understand that “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” That alone doesn’t even go into the other blatant problems people have with these remakes, like the awful CGI, unnecessary altering of songs/poor singing performances by the actors, wooden acting, plot changes that end up creating plot holes, etc. Also, if you’re trying to prove that Disney is not bleeding returns on investment by making these remakes, Marvel is a terrible comparison because some of their recent films did not do so great critically and/or financially.

I kinda think that the grey time that Disney experienced at middle 2000s when they got rid of Michael Eisner´s CEO direction was a failure and he actually was doing pretty nice expanding the company work at other parts, maybe the animated-films were a bit downgraded but actually were doing great at live-action movies as the Pirates of the Caribbean & The Chronicles of Narnia first movies which were issued to be done just before Eisner left over (also National Treasure) so there weren´t actually low-quality films in all, the Muppets franchise was just recently adquired and the Pixar company will be too very soon, regardless on whoever was rulling Disney on, so there wasn´t actually a big issue there as it really had happened at middle 80s when Ron Miller actually did clever changes but had very short time to make them look profitable in a short-time needed to make more acceptable his role as CEO of the company (He was on second-in-command throught most of the decade before at the 70s just after Roy Disney´s decease, under Don Tatumm and Card Walker leaderships as CEOs at their respective times and he kinda was working better then than when he adquired full power responsabilities at the first half of the 80s when a lot of pressure was set upon him to get better results in a short time, and well overall the whole 80s decade era was a very murky dark-depressing time with rampant echonomical crisis most of it, the conservative right-party leadership throught the whole Western world, the tensions with URSS rising up and new menances as the AIDS high peak of epidemics, so it wasn´t such a pleasant time in all, and Miller felt like a victim of that pressure of his surrounding environment) Michael Eisner did an amazing role through his time as CEO, yet maybe he had been kinda worn out and tired of running the business the same way or at least others made it to look as if that was the situation - interestingly it´s since the 2001 when Bob Iger takes role as President at the company - henceforth the second-in-command under the CEO - that things start to get awry so it isn´t much so missed to guess the idea that he was also responsible of the downfall of Eisner being actually a closer foe in pursuit his own ideas and ambitions. (He kinda looked this as sort of payback after Disney company bought ABC where he worked at some 10 years before at early 90s, when he stopped to be a boss on his own to work under the command of someone else.) Anyways the situation on the middle 2000s was no way the same crisis level than what´s going on 20 years later on, neither on what was 20 years before (which still kinda remains the darkest time of Disney but by effect of outer situations, and may be no longer the darkest one as this later 2020s downfall comes on the very INSIDE of Disney´s own responsibilities). Anyways there is also no interest on the remaining Disney family to get invested or interested on saving the company as Roy E. Disney actually did twice before, regardless if he was well informed about it, but at least he was well intended, and since he passed away on early 2010s, there is NONE acting as sort of self-counsciouness standard for the megalomaniac of Bob Iger overall or his egoistic ideas for the company: he kinda got also worn out before his first dimiss as CEO at 2020, and kinda just seens wants to end up this company as he felt it´s useless to keep it working on the same on itself 100 years and more, so seems want´s to sell it to someone bigger and profitable but needs to low-down the prize of it henceforth after getting it to its peak at 2018 seems to be working on backwards.

It’s funny, because what you just said reminds me of a speech from Samwise Gamgee from Lord of the Rings. “It’s like in the great stories Mister Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think Mister Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding onto something. That there’s some good in this world Mister Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.”

Regardless of age, Disney created a magical, beloved place in the hearts of so many…then did everything possible to callously destroy it. Over and over again. Creativity and risks have repeatedly been destroyed and replaced with corporate greed…in a cycle so frequent, it’s impacted every generation of fans still alive at this point. Walt would likely be BEYOND devastated & appalled at the desecration and destruction of his once-epic empire…especially at the loss of his incredible vision & creativity that made Disney truly invaluable.

I am holding out for Disney to return to their original form of what made them so beloved in the first because Disney really means a lot to me since there particularly the reason why I became a Movie Buff and why I love both cinema and animation as an artform so this film studio really does mean a lot to me.

I'm with you. I boycott Disney now, but not even 10 years ago, they were probably my favorite company, and Walt Disney is one of my personal heroes - right up there with Abraham Lincoln and William Shakespeare. Unfortunately for you, I don't think they're going to pick a CEO based on you being a superfan, a historian, an analyst, or even a creative content producer, although if you demonstrate that you have a creative side, it might help. What they want is someone who can manage billions of dollars. Disney really shouldn't have a CEO. It needs to have a three person council that only acts with a two-thirds majority or maybe even a full consensus: 1. A financial person, 2. a creative person, 3. a customer experience person. Yeah, I know Disney has people in charge of those other things, but the decisions from the top have a much stronger bias towards short-term income revenue, and have neglected creative content and the customer experience. Disney has killed it's brand for short-term gains, and the failure to invest in our hearts and souls is turning formerly loyal customers into neutrals or even adversaries. And the trend is only getting worse. And instead of looking to DEI and ESG for investors, they should look to their customers for money. Satisfy us and they'll be rolling in the money. Focusing on DEI & ESG is causing a giant rift between customers and Disney's legacy.

One of the aspects about Disney that I find fascinating is the company's relationship to labor, both in the modern day and historically. Disney was always incredibly anti union, not just disney the company but also Walt Disney the man. Disney always had a very....odd relationship with his employees. He massively played favorites which is one of the major things that lead to the OG strike in 1941. They always rode the line of production vs art. How hard can you push the artists before the art noticeably suffers? The difference was that Disney cared a lot about the final product, even if he was a true Capitalist at the same time. If you've ever wondered why American animation companies fully phased out 2d animation in the late 90's it's not because it's cheaper or easier to do CGI, but because traditional animators finally unionized and they didn't want to pay them. So today to see how far Disney has fallen, often because they don't respect the craft or the people making it is a bit sickly sweet to me. I love Disney IP, but Disney is a company. The decision makers genuinely don't or can't care about the art because profit and shareholders HAS to come first. Anyways support SAG-AFTRA and the Disney CGI artists trying to unionize. This has been a looooong time coming for Disney.

Disney is in a strange position. Frankly, I believe there are three directions this can go. 1) A massive (and badly needed) purge followed by a great comeback. 2) One of the greatest stories of corporate self sabotage in history. 3) A baffling case of a company that continues to make trash products and still manages to continue making massive profits. In any case, it's going to be a case study in future business courses.
