Downfall of Disney

wagnehay000 Uncategorized , , 0 Comment

The recent movies that Disney has been releasing have been off their usual production theme. The movies that Disney have been releasing have had unusual themes, and normally promote agendas. Their recent films have been “underwhelming” and “boring” according to the community. Since around the last quarter of 2022, Disney has lost 2.4 million Subscribers on Disney+. 

Disney Movies Have Been Underwhelming

“If Disney can learn from their flops and change then maybe they can make a good movie”, said Monte Vista sophomore Guia Shi Bone. 

Disney’s recent movies have not had the attention that they used to. When a new Disney movie would be released, it was all over the place, everyone would talk about it. Now, they are not getting as much recognition, movies will come out and no one even is concerned about it. 

On June 24, 1994, the movie The Lion King was released. It had 112 million views, with over 55 million copies sold worldwide.

Unlike the movie Lion King, Light year, one of Disney’s more recent movies releasing on June 17, 2022, they have “failed to generate much profit and is considered to be a box office failure”. Light-year was also underwhelming and was the start of the movies going down in popularity

New Companies Taking Lead in Production

Other movie companies are also taking the lead, such as Lucasfilm, before it was bought out by Disney, Lucasfilm released the movie The Empire Strikes Back. “The Empire Strikes Back outperformed its predecessor and set a new standard for box office success in the Star Wars franchise.

The movie Avatar is rated the #1 movie of all time, Lightstorm Entertainment released the movie on 2009 and it has been rated the #1 grossing film.  “By the end of today, Avatar 2 at $620.58M flies past Star Wars: The Last Jedi’s domestic take of $620.1M as the 11th-highest grossing movie of all-time in the U.S./Canada .Jan 29, 2023 “”Walt Disney Studios has been criticized for including stereotypical portrayal of non-white characters, sexism, and alleged plagiarism.”

Fox news stated, “In videos posted by journalist Christopher F. Rufo, Disney officials can be seen talking to employees at an “all-hands” meeting about the Florida bill, recently signed into law by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, and saying some teams at Disney have implemented an openly “gay agenda.”

Disney has been struggling lately due to their recent films, such as Turning Red, Elementals, and The Little Mermaid, while other movie companies, such as Lucasfilm and Lightstorm Entertainment are taking the lead.

2020 and 2021 were great years for Star Wars

2020 is said to be one of the worst years ever. Several incidents made people think 2020 was the worst year ever, and the worst one, a pandemic hit, and people were quarantined. However, with all that time to spend at home in that quarantine, came a lot of content for Star Wars fans. The years 2020 and 2021 have seen several releases for the Star Wars universe. There were many releases of novels, comics, movies, TV shows, and even some documentaries. Aside from content people could watch, the video game, Knights of the Old Republic, was recently released on Nintendo switch. In these past 2 years, a lot of Star Wars content has been released, but there is still a lot of scheduled content to come in what is left of this year, as well as 2022 and 2023.

 

Book Releases

Let’s start with the books that were published over these past 2 years. In 2020, There were a couple of novels were released. The first book to be released was Queen’s Peril, a young-adult novel. Queen’s Peril was released on June 2, 2020, and is a prequel to Queen’s Shadow, released in 2019. Queen’s Peril was written by E.K. Johnston and has a page count of 288. The events of this book take place when Padme at the age of 14 is elected to be the queen of her planet, Naboo. The story is mainly centered around her and her handmaidens.

The second book to be released in 2020 was Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising. Chaos Rising was released on September 1 of last year and is the first book of the Thrawn Ascendancy series. Chaos Rising was written by Timothy Zahn and has 336 pages. The book takes place during the Clone Wars and is about Thrawn’s mission as a commander in the Chiss Ascendancy to track down dangerous assailants.

This year, there were a few more canon Star Wars novels released. In 2021, Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy: Greater Good was released. Greater Good was published on April 27, 2021, and is the second book in the Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy. The author of Greater Good is Timothy Zahn, and the book contains 432 pages. Greater Good takes place after Chaos Rising and is about Thrawn and the rest of the Chiss Ascendancy dealing with the aftermath of the events that took place in Chaos Rising.

Star Wars Visions: Ronin was the second novel that was released in 2021. Ronin was released on October 12, 2021, shortly after the show it was based on Star Wars: Visions was released on September 22, 2021. First-time author Emma Mieko Candon wrote Ronin, with the book containing 352 total pages. The book takes place between the third and fourth Star Wars movies, specifically after the first Star Wars: Visions episode, The Duel. The story of Ronin is centered around the aftermath of The Duel, while the main characters struggle to find their place in the universe.

The third Star Wars novel of the year was published as Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy: Lesser Evil. Lesser Evil was just recently published on November 16, 2021. As with the rest of the Ascendancy trilogy, Lesser Evil was written by Timothy Zahn and has a total of 576 pages. Lesser Evil is the third and final book in the Thrawn Ascendancy series and is about Thrawn trying to prevent the 9 leading families of the Chiss Ascendancy from turning on each other and risking everything to do so.

 

Series Releases

There were also quite a few shows released over the last couple of years. The first Star Wars show that came out in 2020 was Star Wars: Resistance, an animated children’s show. Season 2 episodes 14-19 aired at the beginning of 2020 throughout January 5-26. Resistance has a rating of 5/10 on IMDb. This shows that Resistance is less popular among Star Wars fans as the show is mainly aimed at young children and doesn’t add much to the Star Wars universe.

The second show to air in 2020 was Star Wars: The Clone Wars, an animated PG show. The Clone Wars show originally started in 2008, however, in 2020, the show’s final season aired. The 7th season started airing on February 21, 2020, and the final episode of the season and show aired on May 4, 2020. Season 7 of The Clone Wars has a total of 12 episodes, making it the shortest season in the series. The Clone Wars is very popular among Star Wars fans having an 8.3/10 rating on IMDb. The Clone Wars takes place in between the second and third Star Wars movies during the clone war, and some of season 7 overlaps with the events of the third Star Wars movie, Revenge of the Sith.

The third and possibly most popular Star Wars show to air in 2020 was Star Wars: The Mandalorian, a live-action TV-14 series. The first season first aired in 2019, and the second season dropped on Disney+ in 2020. The first episode aired on October 30, 2020, and the season finale aired on December 18 of the same year. The Mandalorian is more popular than most Star Wars shows and is known more widely as it is live-action and therefore seen as more mature. The Mandalorian has an 8.8/10 rating on IMDb, just a little higher than The Clone Wars. The show takes place after the sixth Star Wars movie and after the fall of the empire.

In 2021, we saw fewer shows for Star Wars. The first Star Wars series that streamed in 2021 was Star Wars: The Bad Batch, an animated show for ages 8 and up. The first episode of The Bad Batch titled Aftermath aired on Disney+ on May 4, 2021, a day on which several Star Wars content has been released, seeing as May 4 is known as Star Wars day. The show went until August 14, 2021, when the season finale was released. The Bad Batch has an 8/10 rating on IMDb and is popular among the Star Wars fandom. The Bad Batch Takes place after Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and during order 66, an order that was issued to the entire clone army to execute all the Jedi.

The other Star Wars series that was released this year was Star Wars: Visions, the very first Star Wars anime. All of the Visions was released at once on September 22 earlier this year. Visions are slightly less popular than other Star Wars shows. This is likely because it is a collection of non-canon, stand-alone shorts. Vision’s rating on IMDb is 7.1/10, and the show has many different shorts that take place during different times in Star Wars history.

 

To Be Released

Although 2020 and 2021 were some of the worst years for the world in a very long time, the 2 years were some of the best years Star Wars has had in a while. There were several books, movies, and series released amid everything that gave people entertainment while they were at home. Even though these past couple of years have been great, the next to come will see some more amazing content. The Book of Boba Fett is set to release on December 29, 2021, on Disney+. The final book of the Queen trilogy that was previously mentioned, titled Queen’s Hope is releasing sometime next year. There are also several shows and following seasons of other shows that will be released in 2022 and 2023. These include The Mandalorian season 3, Andor, Acolyte, Rogue Squadron, Bad Batch season 2, Ahsoka, and the long-awaited Kenobi show. There is also some less well-known content that will come out, such as, the animated movie A Droid Story and the book Padawan that will drop on July 26, 2022. 2020 and 2021 were chaotic years, but at least while we were at home trying to stay safe, Star Wars provided escape and distraction through their amazing content.

Why The Owl House Was Canceled

Why The Owl House Was Canceled

On the 4th of October earlier this year, the writer, executive producer, and creator of The Owl House, Dana Terrace announced on Reddit why the third season of The Owl House was shortened and the show canceled.

The third season of The Owl House, or TOH, will consist of three specials as opposed to seasons one and two. Season one has nineteen episodes, and two has ten with the other half of the season releasing later. The specials will be about forty-four minutes long rather than the usual twenty-two minutes. Season three of The Owl House is expected to air on Disney Channel sometime in 2022 and was confirmed to be the show’s final season. Terrace confirmed earlier this year that this was going to happen, but never explained why until recently. She explained that The Owl House “Didn’t fit into Disney’s brand”. Many fans are still upset even though Terrace explained everything.

Some people believe that if The Owl House aired on a different streaming service, the show could have thrived even more than it already has. The statement also left some people to wonder, what fits into the Disney brand if The Owl House doesn’t.

Of course, fans were theorizing why the show was canceled. One theory was that the show got canceled because it got negative backlash from the main character, Luz Noceda voiced by Sarah-Nicole Roberts, being bisexual and many other side characters being LGBTQIA+. Contrary to popular belief, The Owl House was not canceled because of the low budget due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The show also definitely wasn’t canceled due to bad ratings,

The Owl House has a large fanbase, has a rating of 8.2/10 on IMDb, and was in the top five of most successful animated series on Disney channel. Instead, Terrace announced that the show was canceled for the following “SO WHAT WAS IT?! At the end of the day, there are a few business people who oversee what fits into the Disney brand and one day one of those guys decided TOH didn’t fit that ‘brand’. The story is serialized (BARELY compared to any average anime lmao), our audience skews older, and that just didn’t fit this one guy’s tastes. That’s it! Ain’t that wild? Really grinds my guts, boils my brain, kicks my shins, all the things. It sucks but it is what it is.”

Although Terrace’s news brought some closure to fans, many people thought it was odd that the show was canceled because of an older audience. The show is still family-friendly and aimed towards younger viewers. Several fans also argue that Disney shows and other animation shows and movies are not just for children, animation is something people of all ages can enjoy. However, there is one possible role in the show’s cancellation and why other Disney shows with older viewers weren’t canceled. That is on what streaming service which The Owl House aired.

The Owl House aired on Disney channel. The streaming network has a target audience of children of ages six to eleven. If The Owl House aired on Disney+ however, the show could have been saved. Disney+ has shows that have a higher audience rating and have content for all ages. There is a big difference between The Owl House and other Disney shows that are viewed by more mature audiences, and that is that most of these shows are spin-offs of an already incredibly successful saga. Some of these shows include Star Wars: The Bad Batch and What If…? from Marvel. The Owl House, on the other hand, is a new, original animated series. Stand-alone series are significantly easier to cancel because they are not a part of a larger, more popular franchise. Had The Owl House been released Disney+, the show just might have survived. We can see that other original shows, short films, and movies that are or will air on Disney+ are not being canceled. For example, Iwájú, an African science fiction television series coming out next year on Disney+. It is, however, unfortunate that The Owl House just might have been saved had the show been pitched just a little later.

As previously stated, fans of The Owl House were a little skeptical about why the show was canceled. The show was canceled because The Owl House has an older, more mature audience. However, many other Disney shows have more mature audiences have been running for years that will not be canceled anytime soon. Some shows like that include Disney+ shows like The Walking Dead and American Horror Stories. Although an argument can be made that those shows were on Disney+ and not Disney channel as stated before. There are also other shows on Disney channel that are alive and thriving. For example, Amphibia is also a popular show on Disney channel. Amphibia currently has three seasons and 45 episodes and has about as mature an audience as The Owl House. The season finale of season 2 has a warning at the beginning of the episode that some scenes might be too intense for younger viewers. This warning is there for many reasons. There are scenes with fighting sequences, near-death of characters, and most of all, at the very end of the episode, a 13-year-old girl was stabbed on screen. No blood is shown, but the scene is still quite intense. Amphibia, of course, is currently still airing and is streaming season 3. While The Owl House has never had anything that graphic or violent happen or mentioned anywhere in the show. Still, Amphibia, and many other shows like it, fits Disney’s brand, and The Owl House doesn’t. As Terrace said, “It sucks but it is what it is.”

Ultimately, The Owl Houses fanbase is upset that the show will end prematurely. Several trends and hashtags have started on Twitter, Reddit, and other social media platforms to get the show more content. Unfortunately, for now, the show is canceled. However, Terrace said in her Reddit post that there is still a lot of content to look forward to and that The Owl House could have a future with different people in charge. The reason the show was canceled is a little short-sighted, as Disney’s brand is constantly growing along with Disney as a company. Terrace also said in the Reddit post that she wasn’t able to argue or speak on the matter and that she was just told about the decision, so we know she can’t do much about it, which is unfortunate. Many people still question Disney’s motives and reasoning and that The Owl House and shows like it are getting canceled for invalid reasons and the only compensation for the end of the show is Hot Topic merchandise. The Owl House will be missed by many, and the show was great while it was there, but maybe the show could go on. Terrace said in several social media posts that the trends and hashtags do not go unnoticed by Disney’s executives. The Owl House, in the future, could be saved.

Why Do People Like Watching Marvel

Why Do People Like Watching Marvel

Why do people like watching marvel 

 Why people like watching marvel is because they start adding more and more heroes in the movies or making up superheroes but the thing is they just probably already had a superhero sense from the beginning that Stan Lee made a superhero while he was in the war. First, he started with someone that also wanted to go to war but he couldn’t cause he had medical problems his name was Steve rogers but as a superhero, his name was CAPTAIN AMERICA most people or everyone knows him so yeah that’s the first hero Stan Lee started with but after he sold the comics, someone, I forgot about his boss or something like that well that’s not the point is he liked it and told Stan Lee to make another superhero so Stan Lee thought and thought and came up with a teenage superhero Spider-Man after Spider-Man was made a lot of kids loved Spider-Man that they even pretended to be him and sometimes it is fun and maybe I don’t know but like even adults like Spider-Man and you know why it’s because when Stan Lee made him those adults were the kids back then, and it’s fun having parents that play with you superhero’s this is why marvel is awesome.

Why The Marvel Movies or series are Better Than DC’s

I believe DC movies are good but they don’t make movies as fast as marvel and marvel they make movies faster than DC is I could say Good IN my opinion and DC back then had more movies then marvel I think so cause I would watch more movies of DC Back then when we were all little kids we probably watch more DC than marvel but now that marvel has experience of making movies that made ideas for the future so that they can make it like they think of ideas write it down and then they just make it I think cause right now they are making a lot of movies so fast and it is incredible how fast they do it or they do everything and I know that they have a lot of people that are like the minds and what I mean by that is that they are the ones that think, that think of ideas for the next series or the next movie of marvel and also have people that control the lights and all of that stuff that makes it look real and actors you should know the people that make and also help for the movies anyways the point is that they think smarter than DC before starting to make movies all of the kinds of marvel stuff, and after making the movies they started to gain more and more people that can help them in the stuff that they needed to work on and well the thing is that is what I think how they had better movies than DC because they thought of ideas and after having a lot of ideas for the future they made those ideas right here, right now the future and they were smart to do that to make those best, better, awesome ideas that they did. This is what marvel did and they successfully did what they challenged themselves to do.

Lilo and Stitch movies

Lilo and Stitch movies

Lilo and stitch is the first Disney movie based in Hawaii. And it’s a true fan favorite There are 3 movies, have you seen them? But why 3 and are they good? That’s what I am going to tell you. what each movie is about, its purpose, and if you should watch it. We will start with the classic first movie and then stitch the movie and lastly, Stitch has a glitch. There is one more movie but I have not seen it yet. It’s called Leroy and Stitch and I have heard good things about it. All these movies have a special place in my heart. Now let’s start talking about lilo and stitches movies!

 

Lilo and Stitch

Lilo and stitch is a movie about a Hawaiian girl and an Alien. Lilo adopted stitch at the pet store. Stitch, the Alien disguised as a dog, is running away from the other aliens trying to capture him and bring him to the main Alien. Lilo and her sister live by themselves in their family home where their parents died in a tragic car accident as a result of both of their deaths. They both have some behavior problems but stitch has them worse so lilo tries and is successful in making him good. Mr. Bubbles is trying to take Lilo away from her sister because she can’t hold a job and does not have the resources to take good care of her sister. then one of the aliens catches lilo and stitch but stitch escapes and then he and lilo’s sister and the two aliens go rescue lilo from the one bad Alien. You have to watch this amazing movie.

Stitch! The movie.

Is about stitch and his new family lilo and her sister and 2 aliens are living happily and then stitch finds all of his brothers and sisters, which one of the aliens created them. stitch is known as 626 and they all have numbers representing them. then they are being hunted down by galactic forces. The ex-worker of the head Aliens is now working for the galactic forces and has been sent to earth to retrieve all stitches brothers and sisters so stitch and lilo have to help them not get captured. I give this movie an 8/10
Lilo and stitch 2: stitch has a glitch. Stitch woke up from a bad dream about him turning bad again, lilo coaches stitch again and tells him he is good and that won’t happen. then lilo and stitch have to prepare for their hula dance. Lilo’s mom was a hula dancer and she is trying to be good like her but the other girls say that she will never be like her mom and put her down. Stitch starts to glitch and keeps being bad and he can’t help it. Then stitch has to recharge to be good again so he does. and lilo and stitch both do the hula dance amazingly and all the other girls are very surprised. I liked this one. It had a lot of meaning and I just loved it.

In conclusion, these 3 movies are great and all have great meanings. I liked these movies and some people say they want more movies but I think that 4 is a good ending. If you have nothing to binge-watch, these amazing movies are just the right thing for you if you are a true Disney lover. They are all good family movies to have a movie night. Lilo and stitch are the best ones. It’s the original movie and nothing can beat it. The end!

Emma Stone, actress of original Cruella plans to be in sequel

Emma Stone, actress of original Cruella plans to be in sequel

Emma Stone has officially closed a deal to be in the sequel to Cruella. Due to the pandemic, Cruella was released in theaters on May 26. Cruella 2 is a way off though. Cruella got 74% on rotten tomatoes and earned an ‘A’ from the audience. Also, people are comparing Cruella to the Joker and it’s pretty accurate.

When Disney first released the trailer, everyone immediately started comparing it to the Joker. Some of the comparisons included her laugh, her makeup, and some of the expressions she made about society. Many people have been calling her “Disney’s Joker,” but Cruella is not as violent and dark as the Joker.
There have been lots of reviews saying it is a surprisingly entertaining origin story for such an iconic Disney villain. Cruella is the story of how the villain from “101 Dalmatians” became how she is. Cruella had a great cast including award winner, Emma Stone. The amazing cast just brought the whole film together. Emma Stone was able to pull off this role brilliantly and was a fine pick.
But Emma Stone isn’t the only one who did fantastically, Emma Thompson played “an egotistical and downright nasty fashion designer named The Baroness, and she takes the role head-on.” Along with the two Emma’s, you have “fine performances from the secondary roles like Joel Fry as Jasper and Mark Strong as John the Valet, but it’s Paul Walter Hauser as Horace who steals the show.” Many other villain stories from Disney have been harder to love and turn into heroes, but Cruella has a different feel to it. The story has a great hook, and many twists and turns with reveals and surprises.

“The filmmakers of “Cruella” have not turned her into a lovable hero, but rather a misunderstood genius with a mean streak and namesake she has deserved.” One of the best parts of Cruella is how it takes you to their world. You get lost in the world that is being formed before you.
Cruella takes place in 1970’s London but there is some dramatic flair and spunk added to it that is completely fascinating. The sets have been designed to match characters and you can tell that there was a lot of detail and work put into the set of Cruella that truly brings it together. Is Cruella a movie worth watching? “Considering the set pieces, detailed costumes, and moments of action, this is a movie that would be appreciated on the big screen.” This film makes you sympathize with a dog-killing villain.

Even though so many people love Cruella, there are still a lot of people who love 101 Dalmatians more. It is original and classic. In Cruella, it is different because you’ve taken this character and made this entirely new and different story to go with it. It is really interesting because there are many parts where you can make the connection to 101 Dalmatians.
Some of the connections that are in the film are when at her school she meets Anita Darling and becomes her friend. They also meet again when they are older and at the end of the movie, Cruella gives her a Dalmatian named Perdita. Roger Dearling is also in the movie, but Roger and Anita do not meet yet.
“Then, of course, there’s Jasper and Horace, Cruella de Vil’s faithful lackeys.” Although in the movie they aren’t super on-board all the time. At one point they regret taking her in because of the way that she treats them when she is Cruella and not Estella.
This movie is very entertaining and has many good elements that make it that way and affect how the viewers see the film and the characters.

Disney has a ton of secrets that they don’t want you to know, because the more you know they think the less magic you will think there is at Disneyland or Disney World.

Disney Characters

You can only see a few Disney characters in certain places or during certain holidays like the Beast.  You can only see the Beast at one place. The article Showbiz Cheat Sheet says, “You’ll find most Disney characters roaming the streets or attending character breakfasts, but there’s one popular person you’ll only see in one place. Beauty and the Beast fans must head to the Magic Kingdom’s Be Our Guest Restaurant to catch a glimpse of the Beast”.  Also you can only see Flynn Rider typically only shows up during Halloween or Christmas parties. 

Princeses

One thing you don’t typically know about Disney princesses is that when they are on their breaks eating food it is a lot like a highschool cafeteria.  Where the “cooler” princess like Elsa and Anna sit at one side and older characters like Snow White and Mary Poppins sit at the other and usually eye each other.  There are also certain requirements to become a Disney princess like, the article ShowBiz Cheat Sheet says, “Disney Fanatic learned that to get hired as a Disney princess, you also have fit Disney’s height and size requirements. Most princesses have to measure between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 7 inches to preserve “character integrity.” Additionally, anyone who wants one of those roles has to fit into the costumes. According to Disney Fanatic, Disney carries them in up to a size 10. (Fortunately, former Disney princesses have reported that the costumes run true-to-size.)” 

Trashcans

At Disneyland and Disney World you are never more than 30 steps away from a trash can.  The article BestLife says, “Disney really did think of everything—including how annoying it is to have to carry around garbage. To keep guests happy and the parks clean, each space was designed so that visitors are never more than 30 steps away from a trash can.”

Masked Characters

When/if you are a masked character you aren’t allowed to talk ever.  Also if you are a masked character you have to stay in character at all times.  There was a guy who interviewed for water Goofy, said that they told him even if you are drowning you aren’t allowed to take off their mask until out of sight of children.  They also will not perform CPR on the spot until out of sight of children. 

Better Times To Meet The Characters

They say that the best time to meet the characters is in the morning. ShowBiz Cheat Sheet article says, “One surefire way to ensure you get the perfect photo op with your favorite Disney character is to sign up for a dining experience. These meals are kind of pricey, but when you opt for breakfast instead of dinner, you can save a little bit of money and still get the same benefits.” 

Asking For Directions

If you ask a masked character for directions don’t think they are being rude if they don’t respond, because they aren’t allowed to talk to you.  You also shouldn’t ask Cast members (Disney Employees) Because they aren’t allowed to move from where they are stationed. A good person to ask is the custodians they can move around the park, plus they know the park inside and out since they clean it.  But if you do end up asking a cast member then this is what ShowBiz Cheat Sheet article says they will do, “When you ask for directions, Disney cast members are instructed to point you in the right direction using two fingers instead of one. Some believe that’s because certain cultures find it rude to point with one finger. But there’s also another theory.  Legend holds that there are photos of Walt Disney pointing to various areas of the park while holding a cigarette between his two fingers. The cigarette has since been edited out, but the point with two fingers remains. No matter which story is true, the fact remains — the Disney point always includes two fingers, never just one.

Those are some Disney Secrets but there are many more than just those few.  Do you know any more Disney Secrets besides these ones?
