From the creators of Frozen comes: Frozen 1.5

Looks alright but very much in line with Disney’s recent movies.

    Between this stuff and marvel content, Disney is pretty set on taking no risks. Hopefully this opens up space for smaller studios to make new and better things

      You know what I think would be cool? If Pixar was the taking-risks-branch, while Disney proper released low-risk content based on their main IPs like Mickey, Star Wars, etc. But Disney seems set on making “new” IPs/universes which are half-baked copies of past successes (looking at you, Elemental)

      • I enjoyed elemental as a piece about first generation immigrants. Also found it refreshing that Disney allowed it to be a love story, and that drove the plot. But yes, the scene where they all get to element city or whatever was a total retread of zootopia

      It’s fairly subtle on my monitor, but I can definitely see some cell-shading, almost resembled Don Bluth rotoscoping.

      Gotta admit, it felt like a half measure, and I didn’t love what little I saw. Looked more like saving money than innovating. Willing to be convinced otherwise though.

    Basing this solely on the trailer, the King is not wrong. Not everyone’s wishes should be granted. As the ruler / government of the country, choosing the wishes that have the best impact on the well-being of the kingdom is kind of his job. Catching the person who is granting wishes randomly, or just all wishes is a reasonable course of action for the King. Of course, he’s probably a baby-eater or something equally villainous to make the audience hate him.

    Stupid question, are these Disney movies still good? It feels like there’s just so many every year now, I can’t keep up with new releases and the quantity makes me question the quality.
