this miiiight be premature, but i feel like we are entering a new and worse age for walt disney animation studios, similar to the early 2000s when they began efforts to smother their traditionally animated movies in favor of their new cg movies. that era from 2000-2010 had a few really good movies, including my personal favorite lilo and stitch, but also contained the lows of dinosaur, home on the range, chicken little, and bolt. it was also the time of churning out unnecessary sequels via their television animation studio.
except now the unnecessary sequels are an endless parade of planned remakes, which i guess are making enough money for them to keep doing them?? and the giant corporate overlord disney (not to be confused with the animation studio itself) is letting marketing and execs dictate both what wdas makes as well as pixar’s offerings. that rough patch in the aughts was also reflected in the rest of the industry at the time—everyone was racing to get a handle on how to make new pipelines for cg and the stories told definitely suffered for it. but now, those other studios are turning out new and better and groundbreaking animated films that leave disney in the dust in so many ways.
i guess the question is—will more disney movies underperform like wish? and if so, will that loss be enough for them to trust their artists over those in marketing? or will they continue down the path of profit over everything and decide animation isn’t worth it?
in so many ways, every area of our media landscape feels like it’s cannibalizing itself as companies buy each other up and destroy whole studios, but disney above all has become an ouroboros—constantly feeding off of its past successes, all the while stripping any deeper meaning or resonance from those stories to be left with the husk that is the Marketable Intellectual Property. “here’s Nostalgia for you, served up on a silver (enameled) platter, please don’t try to remember why you actually liked this movie originally, just buy the doll or the tshirt or the theme park ticket with this character’s face slapped on it. it’s all we know how to do now.”

Videos and propaganda/info dumping under cut
IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth: Epcot (1999-2019)
Propaganda:
Oh boy, here we gooooo. I could go on for hours about this show. It was one of the most unique nighttime shows Disney had, it was so unique to Epcot and didn't have any songs from disney films, which is what the park was suppose to be! Its all original and is so uniting and powerful. The soundtrack is absolutely gorgeous and fully original and gives me goosebumps everytime. Nothing can compare to how powerful it is. And yes, the middle section was a bit slow, especially if you couldnt see the globe well, but I think they should have just updated that part and kept the rest instead of forcing IP into Epcot like the replacement shows. This show was all about nations uniting and every culture being beautiful. From the torches that 'blow out', to all the fire in the middle, to the iconic globe opening with one united torch, to the different countries lighting up, to the jaw dropping finale of huge canon like fireworks coming out of each country area to finish with the brightest finale you will ever see, to the iconic song afterwards (from the Millennium Celebration Tapestry of Nations Parade!). And then Spaceship earth all lite up in purple with the song from Tapestry of Nations parade playing as you exit the park, nothing will beat the magic of that, and I cry every time I remember I will never experience that again. I kid you not, half the reason I did the DCP when I did, was so that I could see the last showing of this! Ill have to find video of me afterwards later xD This was my absolute fav show as a kid and remains so to this day. IN THIS ESSAY I WILL
Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular: Hollywood Studios (2016-2020)
Propaganda:
Okay so I actually really loved it! It is so much better than the simple animation projection show with like 2 fireworks they have going on now. The darth vader part where all the lights go out and you just hear the breathing, so chilling! Also, if you timed it right, going on Slinky Dog right as this was starting was the coolest thing ever. Being in the air while the iconic songs blasts everywhere with sparkle of fireworks, is something ill always remember. I think i have video of that too, ill have to find later
