From the creators of Frozen comes: Frozen 1.5

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

    The story of a woman who tries to find something, ANYTHING worth buying from a discount Chinese mail order company.

    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)

        That’s roughly how Dreamworks came up. The core team working on The Prince of Egypt sent their scrubs and/or co-workers being punished to work on Shrek

        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

      Not so different from the Michael Eisner era of the late 90’s to early aughts where everything got multiple direct to video sequels.

    Alan Tudyk as the Animal Companion. Yup not treading any new ground here.

      Disney can piss away their money, but Wash is the man.

    Maybe I just can’t see it on my phone screen, but didn’t they have a different art style in the teasers? Like a more paper-y look?

      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.

    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.

    Milking that IP like they’re Mattel with a Barbie home video franchise.

      It’s Alan Tudyk. He only makes things better
