re: Disney's About To Take Yet Another Multi-Million Dollar Loss With Snow White

I mean we have people that have seen it posting on this board. None of them have said it was terrible.

Disney was huge with Pixar movies in the 90s and early 2000s. No one was calling out Disney then but you claim they started to lose it? What movies did they start to lose it?

---

Not the movies; those were still golden. But when you looked at all their shows on the Disney Channel, like I said- everything was snarky and sassy. I had a pre-K kid, there was nothing on that channel I wanted him to watch.

That's why I said they were losing it then... there was a shift in what they were presenting.

I don't know many kids that enjoy WW2 or Western movies for the combat? Adults yes but not kids.

You must be a later generation, or maybe just more pacifist than we were. For us, the kids in my neighborhood, my cousins (who lived out of state), etc-
we had toy guns, squirt guns, we had BB guns. When we went outside in a group, every broken stick with a branch became a pistol or submachine gun (or phaser, or SW stormtrooper blaster).
Cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians, opposing medieval forces, Rebels and stormtroopers, Germans or Japs and Marines or Army...

We set up our 12" GI Joes to shoot, we set up the little green army men to shoot (different sizes just meant longer distance perspective to us). We split into teams to storm/defend somebody's shed or barn, we make-believe shot each other... and would have clear rules on who shot who first. No cheating, if "ya got me", you got me.
With BB guns we actually shot each other, everyone had Levi's denim jackets the BB would bounce off of... you could see the BB coming. No eyes lost. Some people would wear motocross goggles, steal dad's work glasses for grinders, etc.
On hot dry summer days, we knew whose yard had grassless patches under a tree; a packed handful of dust would leave beautiful "smoke trails" when thrown, and would "explode" on impact. Dirt clods left telltale marks on whether "I got you" or not. People's moms would make us hose off before coming back inside.
Bamboo shafts became swords (Zorro, Robin Hood, Sinbad, later lightsabers), we were swordfighting all over. I remember getting up on someone's cinder block wall, we'd duel on top of that, loser would be who got hit or fell first.
Some days we were all running around as pretend fighter craft (Corsairs or Zeros, X Wings or TIE Fighters etc) trying to get on someone's tail.



In short, ABSOLUTELY combat. We playfought all the time, so occasional movies at night were great... more stuff to feed the imagination, sometimes more tactics to employ.

just a disney defender.

Umm. Anyone want to tell her?

What does that have to do with you being a Disney defender? Weirdo.

Link my comments about a movie I didn’t see. Weirdo.

As soon as you link where i said the movie was good

Looks like the audience score is being review bombed into the opposite direction. No chance 75% of the audience liked it

---

I read a few dozen audience reviews and it was a mix of "I took my young kids and they liked it" and reviews from the type of people who love Rachel Zegler and what she stands for.

quote:

I didn’t say you said it was good.

---

you said i was defending the movie. one would think that would entail me giving an opinion on whether i thought the movie was good or not.

I haven’t seen it. Don’t have an opinion about it. But is it really a “win” for you if a movie failed because a single person ruined the promotion tour while the company that made it has such a bad reputation that they couldn’t overcome the disaster created by the lead actor?

There's no whiteness to write out of these, so the live action remakes will likely be close to the original storylines.

Moana 2 was not good. Just watched it this week and I cannot figure out why it wasn't a box office bomb. Story was very disjointed and it felt like we just suddenly "happened on" the ending. Huge drop-off from the original.
