Disney somehow managed to frick up their bread and butter, a princess movie.
Domestic collection has nearly flattened already https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Wish-(2023)#tab=box-office
They spent 200 mil on this and they'd be lucky if they make 85.

I'm eager to see if Disney will continue to churn out flops or if there'll be an insane over correction. It'll be great either way

Dustin Hoffman in Midnight Cowboy. He reprised the footjob in Rain Man but it just didn't hit right.

What are the odds that shitty Snow Brown and her diverse posse of definitely not midget magical creatures ever sees the light of day at this point? Its got to be near 0.

I mean an insane overcorrection would mean producing 90s style Disney movies again, in which case cool.

I liked Tangled and Princess and Frog a lot as well

Tangled was traditonal disney slop. Princess and frog was somewhat original disney slop, in that it had a negro princess in a negro setting that made sense, unlike Snow Brown and the seven creaturas
Point is they had redeeming qualities

I hate to be the only to tell you this, but Frozen came out a decade ago. Moana came out 7 years ago.
That's a long butt time for your last memorable film.

90 style musicals meant poaching Broadway talent. Why Disney isn't doing that anyway is beyond me. Wish screams of executive over-involvement and social-media safeguarding. Why is Disney reluctant to do romance ?

"Ugh, Disney thinks girls are only interested in romance, that is this the Middle Ages?"
" Disney only sees women as s*x objects that only exist to please men!"
"That relation is so toxic! This is why we need feminism!!"
You can't make normal movies if you want twitter nutjobs as your main audience

Basically. They don't want to accept most little girls daydream about love stories instead of being CEO.
They equate marriage and love with female weakness, and frankly that's pretty sad. Nor do they understand traditional story structure enough to appreciate (for example) that a princes and princess marrying after a brief time isn't meant to be a literal instruction manual for life, but a narrative technique. Ending a folktale with the prince and princess entering a multi-year courtship process makes for as satisfying an ending as having a young rulers story end with having tax negotiations with his lords instead of a crowning. It's all about completing the story and character arc, not being real world correct.
In other words, there's basically no ability not to look at story through an overly critical and literal modernest lens, which allows no room for magic or earnestness. Which is why it all feels shallow.

girls daydream about love story involving a ceo
It's why young women like kdrama so much

Western cinema need more Broadway and Shakespearian actors, who are managed by old-style Jewish producers who would personally chase down every penny to keep the production costs down and the quality up... none of these diversity hire producers that somehow blow millions on mid garbage

Because they've jettisoned established talent in favor of cheap, young hack writers who design by committee, are obsessed with ‘subverting expectations,' lack a strong foundation in folklore or story theory, and wrongly believe romance is incompatible with active female leads. Any writers with strong enough vision, talent, and power to tell the suits and DEIers to frick off and let them create art appear to have been intentionally isolated as potential rivals. It never occurs to suits you actually need those people and the public won't buy their slop carefully approved by twitter and cheap, newly hired college graduate ideologues until it's too late.
The same thing is happening in publishing and music.

Because romance is basically r*pe and they'd have to show the male in good light.

Even with course correction it will take at least 2 years before we see changes.
The stuff that's already in the production pipeline is guaranteed to be design-by-committee snoozefests.
