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)

        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.
