Wow…not but the day after I post this and Iger is back and Chapek is gone…well, looks like change is coming and fast!
It’s almost like they saw your video (or even had access to the making of the video with the elemental trailer) because of how fast they fixed the issues after you pointed them out lol
I wouldn’t really say that Disney is totally dying. I would say more that it’s evolving.
I only hope that maybe iger will tone down the wokeNess
@@mariobrony1396 Let's hope
I was gonna ask your opinion on that
Not going to lie, I really do miss the old 2D animation films. I catch myself wanting to re-watch the old animation films because I really just miss that aspect. Nothing wrong with their 3DCG films, just really miss the old style of animation films.
I said this for a while. I think 3D films ruin the emersion of an animated film because it goes into reality for the sake of visuals. I know 2D animation is expensive and that the last couple 2D films weren't the greatest (besides Treasure Planet, Princess and the Frog and Emperor's New Groove). They didn't fall off cause they weren't 3D, they fell off cause they were really average or boring films and were terribly marketed, which 3D animation won't solve. 3D animation can definitely work, but for a company like Disney, 2D was their niche and that shows when you compare it to Pixar. I'm personally more of a Disney guy admittedly, but Pixar is amazing at what they do. Point being, the two can intertwine and experiment with the latter's animation, but I fully believe that Disney was at its prime with the 2D animation and Pixar is great with 3D. It got to the point where I still get Disney and Pixar movies confused cause they've done so many 3D films. As for story and plot, they need to look at the Renaissance films (The Little Mermaid through Tarzan) and the other scattered gems like Treasure Planet, Fox and the Hound, Robin Hood, etc,.
Same. I also feel like 3D animation ages much faster. Watching something really new like Encanto, and then Tangled or Frozen right after is so jarring because there’s so much improvement over the ten-ish years. Not that the 2D animation has never improved, but the 80 year old 2D stuff doesn’t look quite as obviously dated as the 10 year old 3D stuff. Maybe because 2D doesn’t have to look realistic and stuff, idk.
Same!!!! I was so excited when The Princess and the Frog came out and thought more would follow....and then...😢
Disney destroyed itself by getting away from what made them special.
Truest comment. Disney forgot what made it special in the first place.
Was it them trying to make something for everybody or always making something original
@@csquared84 It was a bit of both, I think.
I feel, disney animation is taking a setback is the magic of Disney. And I belive that streaming service has force Disney to change. To a normal movie studio. I am sick of Marvel Star Wars over and over. Give me Disney back.
@@disneyplusfan8112 Disney animated studios still consistantly put out an animated movie every year or two. That's about as fast as you can reasonably expect / isn't a decreased rate. Pixar is also still doing the same.
Given that Disney is the biggest entertainment studio in the world I don’t necessarily think it’s dying but I do think people are starting to see their true colors and how greedy the company can be. Especially the shows they crap out on Disney plus since a majority feel like they come out of an algorithm
Sooo true. Disney is showing its true self.
@@chasehedges6775
They really are a filthole full of rats festering on their filth, and by filth, I mean PAper, like money cash cash cash cash.
If Walt is alive he would have been furious in how the company being soooo greedy.
@@christiandacanay3086 I definitely agree. His children and grandchildren as well.
@@chasehedges6775 I can see Walt being back from the grave and pulling a Matthew 21:12-13, but with his own company.
Disney has the possibility to recover, so easily. But they need to choose a side. To me; it seems like they’re torn between doing original, new inventive things, and being forever stuck in the past.
The 90s and early 2000s were amazing years. The mouse could not be stopped. The Renaissance, Princess and the Frog, Wreck-it-Ralph. All of them absolutely fantastic movies.
The problem came quite ironically with their most popular villain. Maleficent was a success. And Disney kept going. That’s when all the nostalgia-bait movies got churned out like no tomorrow.
Disney has made absolutely fantastic movies since then; but you’ll notice one thing most of them have in common. They’re all original. Zootopia, Moana, Soul; all absolutely fantastic. Ralph breaks the internet, Toy story 4; all barely passable.
Disney is torn between money and creators, and it’s strategies of appealing to both is not working. Main example: Lightyear and Owl House. They find it fine when they can simply remove the ‘controversial’ scene for China and Russia, but for owl house they cancel the entire thing.
They need to get their priorities straight, or their own company is going to fall like Mufasa, and their own hands will be Scar.
You put it best right there!
Disney definitely needs to get their act together or else people everywhere are gonna forget what made it a great company to begin with! 😔
Owl house wasn’t cancelled. Shortened yes, but according to some, that just made Season 2 and 3 better than before. Yes Disney was stupid in that regard and they themselves have admitted it, but be accurate in the words you’re using, shortened (not cancelled).
Lightyear wasn’t good because it was appeasing to the people who liked the “controversial” scene which shouldn’t be for kids because kids don’t need to think about that stuff and the theme of the movie of trying to save the planet is exactly what you guys want but is absolutely not Buzz Lightyear and is a terrible story. It’s Superman 2, Ferngully and so many other propaganda before it. It’s the same sh!t of history repeating itself you guys never learn because you guys obviously don’t care about or pay attention to movie history. I wonder why Snow White, Cinderella, Little Mermaid, The Lion King etc we’re super successful and still loved till this day. Hmmmm… because they’re just great films and stories NOT trying to push an agenda or be political etcetera, etcetera. Learn from history or get out of the way.
I don’t want Disney to die, they just need a complete overhaul in ownership.
Like get a new ceo that doesn’t think animation is just for kids
Chapek clearly doesn’t know the hard work that goes into animation!! 😡
Totally agree
They need to go back to Walt Disney's vision of creating content that is made for both kids and adults.
I still love to watch their classic movies and cartoons because they feel that i can keep watching them no matter what, and I am 38!
They just need a complete overhaul and changing of leadership.
Well it was just announced that bob chapek is replaced with bob iger
@@douglasmitchum1488 well I guess that’s a start.
I agree with what you say here Brian. I am getting tired of all these live action remakes and over-saturation of products on Disney+. I think something that needs to happen is use the vault principle for theatres. Stop giving us 'live action' remakes of beloved movies, and just re-release the original beloved animated film with (if necessary) updated animation. I would much sooner go see the original Treasure Planet or Hunchback of Notre Dame on the big screen multiple times than having to sit through a remake of it. Disney knows that people love these movies, so just re-release those to theatres and i think that would be far more effective and loved than these bad live-action remakes. I will always love Disney products and will continue to watch, but they need to make changes if they want me to get genuinely excited again.
Or simply release the original theatrical versions on home media like the signature collections or Disney+. I want to see stuff like Beast's original dark and gloomy silouette from B & the B.
@@benceszarvas5464 Releasing on home media also would be a good choice. The problem with that for me is less and less people have DVD/ BluRay players, and it is rare to find a fully functional VHS player. A way that we can fix Disney+ is allowing the viewer to choose the version of the movie they want to watch. For example, I would choose the 2001 re-release of B+B so that I can watch the Human Again sequence.
That would be also great. Every release of B + B is different. The original theatrical version never had a physical release. The VHS version's screen ratio butchered and the colors are different. The Laser Disc is what I heard the most faithful version to the original but still the colors are slightly different. Then the 2001 release drastically changed the colors and added the Human Again and Cogsworth's different expression. 2011 onward used this version but once again changed the colors. And now the Disney+ version once again different becausr they cut out the human again but kept the door closing scene. It merges with the bath scene better for sure but still different. I wish Disney would allow all version to be reachable espically the theatrical because that's diiferent from the physical "theatrical version"
One thing I miss about Disney is the early 2010 when the crowds were low. And the parks were just perfect I don’t know how but it was the best! Like old Epcot and old Hollywood studios or MGM, they need to bring that back and need to stop adding IP in the parks.
Honestly this is how I have been feeling like this for a long time about Disney for a long time, especially with a lot of content which I found very underwhelming, I found myself unable to encanto in theaters because of how underwhelming raya however I do wish for Disney to do better in the future. And I agree about Pinocchio being a pain to get through. Encanto is probably like a step in the right direction and I hope they stay in the direction.
Oof Encanto kick Raya a thousand times
@@ivanelugo definitely I really misjudged encanto and I wish I saw it in theaters.
@@gilramanujan8826OMG Me and my mates saw Encanto in the cinema twice way before it became popular!!! 😂😂😂
But seriously though,I wish Disney was all that and not the other crap they’re pumping out! Plus,put Pixar back in cinemas again! I’m sick and tired of seeing their movies on Disney plus all the time!
Disney’s CEO is to blame. He’s RUINING Disney. I swear he needs to be replaced by someone who RESPECTS Walt Disney’s legacy.
Edit: WOW. I GOT MY WISH. SO LONG, CHAPEK. Man, it’s funny how the universe works. Now with Iger back, I’m comfortable with potentially celebrating my graduation in two years at Disney World!
I absolutely adore Disney, but I was feeling this way about their movies until Encanto and Turning Red came out. It felt so good to be really into new Disney and Pixar movies again!
Thank you, Brian. You gave me the words I wanted to say about the current Disney is going through.
It hurts me lately of how they are lacking creativity they are dealing with.
Especially from an early age, Disney has always been a safety net for me whenever I was going through the
hardest & worse moments of my life.
Sure, there were other Entertaiment's like Warner Brothers, Cartoon Network, Hanna Barbara, & Dreamworks.
But they never made me feel secured the same way as Disney did.
(Which by the way everyone, was the original intent that Walt had in mind when he started this whole
thing! Making fun and enjoyable shows & movies to bring family & friends of all ages together through our hardest times)
I'm still holding on to the hope that Disney will turn things around & bring back that same magic that they had before Walt died.
But with how things still stand, if they don't change soon, they WILL bring down everything that Walt has made over the centuries.
It may sound dramatic, but that is the reality we must face.
I don't even know if Pixar & Disney need to change stories much. As long as they focus on family, friendships, and genuinely get us in the "feels." Like Encanto, and more so, Coco and Inside Out. This 60 year old grandma, can't get through those two without turning into a puddle of tears 😢. Also Moana is such a gem! But I agree with you Brian, most of the recent offerings have been at best, meh or so-so, and at their worst groan inducing and forgettable. I really loved Wandavision, Loki, and Moon Knight, but the rest of the Marvel series (though cute, and sometimes comical,) all could have been given the "Werewolf by Night," long-single episode-special treatment in my opinion.
Unfortunately, Disney no longer feels like Walt's dream come alive. It feels like a corporate entity with only it's own interest's in mind...it's no longer about the consumer and families...it's all about the profit margin. It's a sad era for Disney and my dearest hope is that it will bounce back from this.
Disney, as a company, died when they started bringing real world issues into movies.
I'm going to be completely honest but ever since they started buying other companies with Marvel and fox and all that Disney has not exactly been the best it's not exactly the Disney that I remember and I'm a little disappointed in them
It’s on them for not marketing their films properly. Strange World’s marketing has been awful.
Glad somebody else noticed. Like it’s funny how the whole company was built on animation and yet they neglect this movie a lot
@@Nightlizard1564
Indeed.
At least Pixar care about animation.
What marketing? There’s only been like two commercials
@@Bluesharky38
That’s my point.
I totally agree with that. Actually, I didn't even know this movie was coming out let alone existed until the other day. I'm usually on the pulse of what's new with Disney, but it seems like I don't know anything anymore.
I agree… was so looking forward to Disenchanted and was so underwhelmed by it. It was like they wanted it to exceed the original but it didn’t. Oh Elements looks like it maybe a cute animated movie!!!! I’m excited for that to come to Disney+ Also thought Zoomtopia+ was going to be good… it’s a meh.
I love Walt Disney Animation Studios’ movies and want to see them continually succeed.
Here's my personal opinion on the action plan Disney needs to take to (hopefully) return to form:
1. Stop making live action remakes. After the Pinocchio disaster, that should be obvious.
2. Return to hand drawn. I know, computer animation is more manageable and less time consuming. But look at all the popular CZcamsrs who hand draw animations. It's a popular art form because it's far more impressive.
3. Return to the adaptation plan. True, original stories are nice but their greatest works were adaptations of classic stories like Snow White or Shakespeare. Maybe try a couple more Hans Christian Anderson stories or Phantom of the Opera.
4. Show their other projects like marvel and star wars mote care rather than just trying to adapt them into what's popular.
5. STOP ATTACKING FAN MADE PROJECTS. You don't build your brand by lashing out at your fans. As long as they're not outright stealing from you or affecting your profits, leave them alone.
Great list
I don't like hand drawn or cgi is harder then one or the other, but I wish they would do some 2d.
Either doing a mix of 2d and 3d movies (maybe the 3d more with pixar?) or even trying to blend the two styles together for a movie would be nice. Considering how 2d is rarely done now, they could probably make more money off it as its more 'unique', so its good for their greedy hands.
Well said about everything you said Brian. I don't think Disney is dying, but it needs a good shot in the arm to keep it going to keep moving forward.
To be honest, Brian, Disney needs to be saved. ❤😢 #savedisney
Same with Warner Brothers
We're all here for disney but in this situation i think it's disney that needs to save themselves
I agree. Saved by the blood of Jesus!🙏
@@Mrcrawly2021 Cool
@@Mrcrawly2021 I love your response 🥰
Not just their storytelling is set for a certain audience, but they don't have want to breach out to everyone.
SFX is the main issue. It's disgusting right now. They have burned their bridges with companies and we are left with awful special effects now. Remember Davy Jones? Revolutionary special effects. We would never get that now.
He’s looks really hurt
I consider myself to be an extremely optimistic person when it comes to media. I'm always the person going "The movie isn't as bad as the internet/critics/reviewers say", but it's getting harder for me to keep saying that with the recent stuff Disney has put out. While I'm still probably more optimistic and generous than the internet ratings, the new stuff is far from my favorites in all studios. I think one big problem that needs to change is Disney's obsession with live action stuff. I feel like Disney is pushing live action so heavily because the kids who grew up with the Renaissance are now adults, and animation is "for kids". I love animation, and I really wish Disney spent more time marketing and advertising their animated features.
I also feel like Disney doesn't really know how to "update" the classic Disney formula now that they've adapted pretty much every well known Western European fairytale, but like, there's tons of different cultural stories and mythologies that can serve as inspiration from the rest of the world. There's so much potential for storytelling, and it would be a good way to introduce the Western audience to the cultural richness of so many different countries. I personally, want to learn the mythologies of various African cultures, but I just don't have the time to dig through the internet for each country's stories. I think Disney has gotten so used to producing stuff familiar to the Wealthy, Western world, that they forget it's okay to make your main audience not the main culture of the film. Yes, some people will feel ostracized, but I think that's a huge part of getting introduced to a different culture.
Thanks for giving credit and disclaimers once you found more up to date info. It makes me feel like I can trust your findings when you make calls, even if I find something out myself just before or after the video premiere. Well Made Brian!
Agree with this on most fronts. We need stuff to be excited about
Lion king and Pinocchio are the worst live action films ever, because of the lack of expressions, the computer cgi is not good, and they’re boring... and the live action Aladdin is bad because of the actor for Jafar is boring and less menacing
Disney doesn’t care about everyone, all they care about is money, I assume their hack their devices so that you won’t go in for free after you bought a pass to go there any day you want... so that way they will have your money
Disney has recently lost my trust and my family's trust for trying to make movies "woke" and not "magical" like the original classic movies did. I am feeling really bummed with the company's choices. But I am holding out hope for Elemental and Wish and I hope these movies will bring back the magic that Disney once had.
For me it's still the greed within the company that's killing it. Why do you think I'm still angry at them for killing the Disney Store and making Disneyland hard to even visit (due to high prices and that stupid park reservation system)? Greed. DAD GUM YOU CHAPEK!
@@christiandacanay3086 Yea the greed is also a big no no.
@@christiandacanay3086that’s exactly how I feel, I miss Disneyland 😔 I come from a low income family so it is hard to purchase tickets
@@andiflores4638 ironically I myself can't even afford Disneyland. This is why I wish to be rich so I can go there anytime I want and also end up a DisneyTuber too like Brian.
@@christiandacanay3086 same here, and I rlly miss the Disney store😔
BRIAN! I just saw a few minutes ago that Disney just changed CEO. You may wanna look into it. I don't know much about the guy but you said change is needed. Maybe this is the change?
Yesterday: Brian posts a video implying that Disney needs to change their leadership
Today: Chapek steps down as CEO.
COINCIDENCE?!
Disney needs to take a step back and ask themselves "am I trying much too hard~?"
Given the fact that Bob Chapek is cutting costs, I’d personally blame him for the ordeal.
THIS
Iger is also to blame for poor company decisions as well. I will not let him get out of this Scott free either just because he decided to step down and insert Chapek as the company’s scapegoat.
@@WouldntWeather it’s just announced that iger is back in the CEO spot
@@douglasmitchum1488 Amazing.
It's really nice to hear your honest feelings on all of this, props to you for making this video! At the end of the day, Disney is just a brand and they don't control you or your content. I'm sure all of us will continue to support you whether you make Disney related content or not. If Disney isn't going to be creative and innovate, you still can!
I appreciate your honestly Brian. As a WDW passholder I've been very unhappy with the company and have been debating canceling my pass. I see announcements of other theme parks giving their pass holders incredible discounts and perks while Disney is slowly taking them away. I grew up on Disney and visited the parks a bunch when I was in high school, but now I'm not excited about much that they're doing to the parks and I feel like these price increases and fastpass alterations are making parks less affordable and less accessible to families and it is all very disheartening and unfortunate. I too do not think the company is dying, however I think they need to stop what they're doing, rebuild from the ground up, and truly listen to the public.
Personally I think that they need to find their magic again. They need to take a big look at what made them Disney. Which was the magic that brought people together and made us forget about the real world and enjoy the parks and movies that they made. The magic is what people want and the innovations that made Disney special to keep coming back.
It’s sad what is happening to the creator of our childhoods and adulthoods. Maybe it was kind of inevitable but still, it’s just depressing and saddening.
I quite agree with you chase
You need to write to Disney about this, this is perfectly example they need to listen.
hi brian. i definitely agree that disney’s recent works have been underwhelming. i don’t wanna say that i haven’t enjoyed most of the new projects, but as you say, a lot of things are unfortunately quite forgettable. i absolutely adore Soul as a film as well as it’s meaning, and i also very much enjoyed Luca, but things like Raya and Turning Red are things i’ve only watched once since they’ve come out because although the animation was beautiful, i think myself and probably many other fans are craving this excitement you described. the feeling of joy from newness. however, there has not been any real change!! i think you are correct in saying “innovate”, because i think something revolutionary or something that we haven’t seen before is definitely needed on the feature film side of things. i can’t personally speak on the parks, as i live in the uk and haven’t ever been to any (though i’d love to!) , but what you described about paying for a pass and being blocked out must have been really frustrating for you and i don’t blame you for not renewing!! as far as disney+ goes, some of the content i have loved (such as Dug Days), and things like Baymax! and Zootropolis/topia+ have been okay, but most of the time i use the service to watch the classics, as well as some tv shows. i’m quite young, so i wasn’t around for the releases of most of my favourite disney movies, but i am really craving the excitement i felt when putting a disney movie on, or even like in the 2010s, when movies like Tangled or Wreck it Ralph came out! the live action movies recently have not been good, im not a huge fan of them anyway but as you said, Pinocchio was very difficult to sit through! this is a very long comment but what i’m trying to say is i agree with you, but at the same time i’m trying to be positive, the Elemental trailer has given me a hint of that joyful feeling so hopefully as we learn more about that project it will become very exciting. this video was great, thanks!
isla
I totally agree with you about Raya and about Strange World. Thankfully Awkwafina was so spectacular in Raya I remember Sisu and then remember the rest but for Strange World I was driving into SF and saw a billboard for it and realized I hadn’t thought about it for three months. At least with Encanto I was excited about it a little bit before it came out (and I still love it)
Onward and Soul got screwed over by the pandemic
Soul and Luca were awesome Pixar movies. It would've been great to see them in theaters.
@@Qeuix yes. Onward too. It had the capabilities.
I honestly think the current CEO is killing the Disney company! A lot of his decisions and his comments he made is just infuriating! I hope this is just another dark age for the company and they can get their feet back up to the top!
Well, good news he’s gone.
Well now Bob Iger is the new CEO!
Disney needs to go back to the Family owning it. Decisions approved by them, not CEOs or advertisers.
Happy Thanksgiving Brian! So thankful for your love of Disney
Personally, I think that most, if not all, of Disney’s current problems are related to how Bob Chapek is running the company. I remember reading an online article about how Bob Iger regrets putting Chapek in charge of the company, as well as the company’s late response to Florida’s controversial Don’t Say Gay bill, which also didn’t help matters. Possibly the biggest slap to the face was when I saw a Twitter video of Chapek claiming that animation was for kids. That got me so angry that I was like, “yeah, Disney needs new management. Animation is for everyone!” I seriously hope that Disney gets back on track with producing mind blowing content, just like they’ve done in the past. That’s something that got me into being a Disney fan in the first place. And, again, animation is for everyone, not just kids.
Considering that was what Disney was mostly about a while back, that sounds like Bob Chapek telling everyone the forbidden words to a Disney fan… “Grow up.” 😔
That statement was a huge slap in the face to even Walt himself.
Agreed.
Exactly.
Them pushing liberal propaganda is the problem and Iger heavily pushed it.
That’s sad😢 you have no info no one really knows what’s happening other than the people who are higher up
I think that Disney is losing their creative spark 😢
So... as a Christian man, I'm not interested in seeing movies with LBGTQ situations. I don't hate people in that lifestyle, it's just not in my beliefs and choosing to not see movies and shows . I think Disney is losing what Walt Disney has visioned . It's just too politically woke. If they want to separate LBGTQ on Disney plus that would probably help people choose what they want to watch. I do feel this direction is going to hurt their stock with go down due to less viewers and sales.
I agree with ya Brain that the company isn't necessarily "dying" but more or less oversaturated the market at the moment. Like you said, this is thier "dip period" where they are not at thier top prime at the moment or if something happened that can affect the company and eventually thier product negatively like Walts death or the pandemic. I've always been a big fan of Disney, always watching behind the scenes content, getting inspired, loving what they put out and to one day work for them to create that same magic. But now, I'm not really excited anymore nor any drive to work for them (can't anyways cause of hiring freeze lol). They feel so all over the place like instead of me reaching out to them to buy products or go to the parks, they are branching to me so much as a consumer and I feel so exploited and overwhelmed. I do think as well they are really heavy handing thier overuse of successful IPs to keep the company "afloat". For example: "Hey since the Lion King was successful when it first came out, let's do it again but put half as much work in! It doesn't matter how bad we blunder it cause it will always be a tickted success!!" Then Bing bada boom, no surprise here, the LA version made a billion dollars in box office. All nostalgia bait.
I do hopefully they grow out of this slump and let artistic people take charge! I want to be excited again Disney! Show me that same spirit, that drive of storytelling, to inspire people like me to make visual magic.
Hi Brian, love all of your videos 😊.
Disney desperately needs to bring back the magic, lately it feels like they aren’t trying and it really feels like Pixar is almost overshadowing them. Disney needs to know that the classic Disney will get attention, if they announced next week that they’ve been working on a new fully 2D animated film about whatever they come up with people will be interested, people will be excited and love the idea, they need to know that the woke modernized films aren’t getting as much attention as they hope because they aren’t addressing the problems, the old Disney was bold and not afraid to try something new
I know what you mean about being underwhelmed by the parks… I would love to have an annual pass, but the magic key system is so broken, it’s just not worth it. If we had the old annual passes back, and we didn’t need to make reservations ahead of time, I would have one. Now that Iger is back, I’m hoping that we’ll get a revamp of the system! 🙏🏻
Disney: treads old ground with sequels and remakes
People: WE WANT SOMETHING NEW
Disney: Makes something new and original
People: THE OLD STUFF WAS BETTER
It's a no-win scenario.
Thanks for your honest opinions Brian. Hardcore fans need to speak out to change thing’s! Btw love your stuffed Banjo on the shelf behind you.❤
Thank you so much for sharing this, Brian! I'm studying media and production in university right now, and I feel the same way as you.
That's why screenwriting class makes me so excited: I love learning and working with future storytellers who want to create films that are fresh and powerful and exciting.
Totally agree with you @Brian
I really hope things improve; if not, this may be my last year in having a park pass.
They need to go back to Walt Disney's vision of creating content that is made for both kids and adults.
I still love to watch their classic movies and cartoons because they feel that i can keep watching them no matter what, and I am 38!
Warner Bros. can somewhat relate to this right now because I think they are sort of going through the same issue since they merged with Discovery (which I like it better when Warner Bros. didn't have to collab or merge with Discovery) just like what Disney is sort of going through right now.
Well, you're right about WB Discovery going down in flames, but Disney is still awesome!
@@googamp32 I know
WB, Disney and Twitter
@@ivanelugo Well, WB and Twitter, at least.
@@googamp32
Eggman: and if Twitter destroys itself, I'm going to miss you all
I absolutely love your content and videos.
I disagree with some of your comments about the animation department. I still think that both studios are trying their best to push the medium in new directions. And please continue to watch Andor. It's legit one of the best written Disney owned pieces of media ever
Finally caught up with this video. Props to you for giving your honest opinion, Brian! I agree with a lot of your points. And aside from your adendum, this also happened to come out just on time for the news of Chapek stepping down. 😅 I hope Iger and whoever comes after him listen to fans like you and takes action in changing things for the better. You're right about a slump being due, but that doesn't mean the company can't step up their game to give us the best content possible as it did not too long ago.
I never knew this was going on great your talking about it Brian
Im looking for Elemental and Strange World.
I like that Disney and Pixar are still making original movies, but i get your point.
Great video Brian and take care and stay safe 👍.
Even though I enjoy some of the newer stuff like Andor, Mighty Ducks, Sulphur Springs and especially the TV Animation like Big City Greens and Molly McGee (even though I'm nearly 30 xD), I totally unterstand you regarding Raya, Soul, etc. They did not feel like Moana/Vaiana and Coco, they felt forgettable. As a German, I always felt that Disney has a weird relationship with Disneyland Paris. Every D23, we see how Orlando and Anaheim gets so much great NEW stuff and Paris gets a refurbishment for Hotel New York with over night prices now +50%, new parades and clothing for the 30th birthday and copies of Avengers Campus, Arendelle and MAYBE a Star Wars Land. The last new attraction was Ratatouille in 2014 (!) which now was copied to Orlando. I understand that Paris might be expensive because of working rights and unions here in Europe and much better rights and welware than in U.S.A, but come on, we are still birthplace of nearly every story a Disney Film was made off. My big wish was always to go to Orlando or Anaheim, but when I see the prices, it really feels that Disney is not for everyone any more (even though Universal is as expensive). I also don't understand why Disney had cancelled the McGuire reboot. Yes, it is a reboot, but Paramount with iCarly shows how good a reboot can be. Chapek makes Mickey more greedy at the moment. :(
Disney is dying because Disney won’t be the same as it was in the 90’s and because Walt is dead Disney can’t beat the old Disney
I loved Raya and the Last Dragon though. Sisu was adorable
The main reason is probably because of it not returning to 2d animation and of course, MONEY.
Aren't most of their TV Shows mostly 2D Animation on Disney+?
Most of the TV Shows they produced were 2D Animated
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941
Disenchanted is 2D.

Time to address the Elephant in the Room right now
Which is?

They are dying from self-inflected wounds. The woke strategy that they are using in storytelling is not resonating with the public, and for some reason, they are staying the course, despite slowly destroying the brand. This is not the same old good years and bad years: this is something very different.
They don't have a "Woke" strategy, and what they're doing IS resonating with the public!
I don’t think it’s a problem of “wokeness” I think it has more to do with over saturation of product (especially IP based product) and a lack of new material and ideas.
@@februaryschneck I believe that wokeness is definitely a factor, as I hear so, so many people talking about it. This tells me that at the very least, it’s on peoples minds. The cost-cutting is becoming very obvious in the parks as well, as I am am seeing trash on the ground, and structures and rides visibly in disrepair. It’s just bad all around.
@@celluloidtherapy5003 No, it's not a factor. Only pissed off conservatives actually think "Wokeness" is an actual thing.
@@celluloidtherapy5003 I agree. I feel like with the Little Mermaid Remake for example, I personally do not care who plays Ariel. Like it could be anyone if any race and it won’t bother me. Heck even the actress they did get sounds great!
The thing that does bother me is that Disney is using this race swap of Ariel to lure in people. Kinda like they’re screaming “SEE? SEE? We get you guys! We’re with you guys! See how with you we are? Look! We’re with the times!” That’s how it came across to me when the initial casting had been announced
And people are actually falling for it. Disney literally isn’t hiding how subtle they are. They’re only “woke” for profit. They just want money. They don’t care.
I love the honesty here.
You know, when you really think about Disney’s current dilemma, it’s kinda like what happened in Ratatouille.
It’s kind of creepy when a Pixar movie about rats, food, and restaurants sort of foreshadowed the downfall of a company.
The true dilemma is... Where is Mcqueen
I have been a subscriber for ages I love your channel so much! I do miss the disney adventures.
I think in regards to the animation stuff, I’ve still really enjoyed their films from Ralph 2-Encanto and Onward-Lightyear to varying degrees. I think with them, they’re still in a transitioning period since both Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios are now under different heads with Pete Doctor and Jennifer Lee having both replaced John Lasseter since he was ousted. I’m fine with the stuff they put out, but I’m sure we’ll be getting back to the pure top-tier level films at some point.
Im still on board with the MCU even though again, it has been a bit up and down, though that could be down to how much quantity of films and shows they’ve been putting out since coming back from COVID. And again, it’s clear that they’re trying to figure out what to do in a post-Infinity Saga era.
As for the other stuff like live-action films and D+ content, yeah a lot of it needs a big overhaul.
I’m positive that whatever issues there are will get sorted out in all due course. I don’t know and I don’t know how, but I’m optimistic that sooner than later they’ll be positive changes at some point.
I don’t think everything they’ve put out recently is solid gold but not everything has been bad or terrible, not everything is gonna work for us, but I always think that perhaps the next thing will be better.
I fully understand the points you’re making and I agree with a lot. Even with some points I disagree with, I do wanna see an overall stronger slate that works more and hopefully less live-action remakes.
As you said, this isn’t new for them and I’m sure we’ll enter another golden age for Disney hopefully later in the decade.
Thanks for all the stuff that you do Brian, have been a great fan of yours since 2018. Keep up the great work
I think recently, and especially since Covid, Disney has been staying in battery-saver mode- they're still making stuff, and some of it is good. But the stuff that's good almost seems like it was good on accident? I know the teams behind this stuff are capable of better, it's just a matter of everyone deciding to do that cool stuff even though it's a financial risk
Brian, I wasn't able to follow Andor very well for the first few episodes and I was getting really frustrated but I stuck with it, and I'm so glad I did, because it is GOOD. I'd put it up there with the Mandalorian in quality, maybe slightly better. To whoever's on the fence about this show I say give it watch at least up until the 5th episode. This show is a hidden gem.
4:56 made me laugh so hard and then 5:15 nearly killed me because your screaming reminded me of SpongeBob screaming after Squidward told him about the Hash Slinging Slasher!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree with you. And the new Disenchanted was was underwhelming. Like, it was good, the music was good, the talent was good, but not super memorable. But the animation parts did make me yearn for yesteryear of Disney’s era of hand drawn animation. Like, I would love nothing more than a movie full of hand drawn animations!
I agree 100% Thanks Brian ❤
and just like that - CEO Bob Chapek is OUT! Iger is back in (at least for the time being)
Well…. This is oddly profound. Bless you, Brian!
Same. Love this video.
Brian,
I have always enjoyed your impressions. The work you do has always made me smile. I have another comment that is not so positive but I, at the very least, wanted you to know how much joy you bring to many of us that find it soooo very hard to get through the day. Even with all the negativity surrounding Disney right now please don't become a victim of their new and tragic business model.
I literally just right after ur vid got a Disney ad saying good times to visit Disney lol
We still don't have a Zootopia sequel, but I am excited for Elemental, Inside Out 2 and Mufasa
I'm completely with you here. I grew up being so inspired by disney and used to idolize Disney and you can say what you want about Walt, but in my opinion from the day walt passed away
It kinda just went downhill from there.
I love Disney+ but for the reruns of the early 2000 movies and shows. I haven’t seen any of the newer movies other than Encanto I think the newest movie I’ve seen many have been Aladdin Live Action
I wish Disney would stop with the remakes and making spin-offs to their remakes (The upcoming Mufasa movie for example). I feel that everyone is completely tired of them.
I’ve been saying it but I wish Disney would just look into their vault of movies that never came to be made past the concept art and planning and try to bring those back. But no. They just stick to the making remakes and spin-offs to those remakes.
I feel that it just spits on the faces of those who worked so hard making those original animated movies.
That so sad
Seeing what's happening with Disney kind of hurts me inside knowing what it has been. I still have hope things could start improving sooner rather than later. I'm still going to find enjoyment with what they are making but they need to add some of the magic back into the content that use to be there but that kind of seems like Hollywood as a whole.
Disney's actions right now kind of reminds me of that Arthur said in Shrek 3. "If you want to do something better than this, than the only one standing in your way is yourself" and that's Disney, the poor unfortunate souls.
They're too busy trying to stick to the status quo and what money by the pound by using every little piece of their old stuff, that they can't even step into the unknown and see how far they'll go with a project. "Why should I worry?" is something Chapek constantly says, he ends up counting his eggs before they hatch as he takes one jump ahead of his own company and things go down faster than a spoon full of sugar on medicine. Be prepared to see Disney shill out more of what they think is going to be making them big buck-buck-bucks only to realize too little too late that it's all burning down in Hellfire.
As for the parks? They've overlooked the bare necessities of what makes a park supercalifragilisticexpialidocious enough to feel like you're riding on a Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride. As I'm typing this, I'm listening to Brian and realizing that he truly has done his homework. Singing a happy little working song as he makes his points clear and strong. But who knows, Disney might finally know the way, find the spirit again, and do the next right thing. If so, then we'll stop trashing the camp as Disney manages to go from zero to hero. They've only got one last hope and it's up to them to give a little whistle and find that magic that they once had.
And if not, they'll be in our heart as the ones who brought us a dream, a wish that our hearts made, and we'll turn to them and say: "You're Welcome."
Disney has taken on too much and lost its focus, which inevitably means their outgoings are so ludicrously expensive that everything has become mediocre.
the reason why that disney dying is,
1.) Too much political pandering
2.) Rushing out movies and TV shows to Disney+
3.) Lack of passion
So basically; focus on the QUALITY, not QUANTITY.
I think what you said makes sense & many Disney fans like you are also calling it out. Even non-Disney fans who just like an aspect of Disney that fits their sphere of interest, (Animation, Theme Parks, whatever), are also pointing it out to.
I completely agree with you on that
I’ve been noticing a lack of hype building for almost every animated Disney movie for the past few years. Ever since Frozen, the hype building for most animated movies have been slowly declining. Hell, most of the recent Pixar movies were reduced to Disney+ releases only, with the only one actually getting a theatrical release being Lightyear, and I’m sure that’s only because of Toy Story’s legacy. And then there’s Encanto. It may be well beloved by audiences, but it sure as hell isn’t well beloved by Disney. I mean, why would it be? It bombed at the box office after all and only found new life on Disney+, and we all know Disney’s only motivation is money, so they’d see Encanto as another failure. Meanwhile their live action remakes are getting released in mass with mass publicity each time, and all of them are making money. The 2010s got 14 live action releases with 13 of them being released in the span of six years and five of them being released in a single year, all the while the animated side of things only had 9 releases during that decade, with two years having no releases at all and the most releases we got in a single year is 2. If you asked me years ago, I’d say Disney knows they are best known for their amazing animated features and would never abandon them as doing so would be financial suicide, but now I’m not so sure. They clearly don’t care as much about their animated stuff as they used to, putting much more value on their live action remakes. I mean, why not? Money for cheap. I’m very afraid that if this keeps up, we’ll eventually see nothing but live action stuff released theatrically while all of their animated stuff is put onto Disney+ and forgotten about. I’ll never hate Disney. I just want them to get better.
I feel there’s more going on behind the scenes we don’t know about which isn’t good the prices are ridiculous but I’m told by others the parks are more overwhelmed and more. We need to get certain people out and bring back in people like what we had in the 80s and eps the 90s I don’t feel the same magic like I use to which breaks my heart
I feel the same as Brian. I haven't been excited about anything they have put out for a while now. My family usually tries to go to Disneyland every 2 years since we live pretty far away, this year should have been our trip since we went in 2020 but we don't have any desire to, so we are skipping for a while.
Disney was peaked in 2010-2016, then 2017-now, hasn’t been great
Strange World is also unique and will be a strange new Film so it will be the wildest Disney Animated one yet and will be worth to see like Elemental will be possible a new Hit for Pixar like Inside out 2 in few years. But yeah things could be much better.
For me, 2022 has pretty much been the start of a whole new decline for Disney. The stuff that was released by them in 2021 was incredibly exciting, but afterwards…things seemed to be going pretty downhill with them.
They’ve become too reliant on frequent LGBT incorporations that don’t even contribute to the overall stories, and something about their current atmosphere seems to be less than friendly for Christians like myself. Then again, that’s how I’ve been feeling with what every motion picture company in Hollywood has been doing nowadays.
Disney won't be dying if they make a proper Zootopia sequel
I'd pay money to see that.
