>>2

Inside Out 2?

Is the Mickey in the image from a movie or something?

It’s sad that Disney is completely lagging behind in the animated film industry.

I heard that Moana 2 is getting really good reviews.

>>7

It’s not bad, but haven’t they said it’s a movie that forcefully compresses a Disney Plus series?

>>7

Let’s put the plagiarism issue aside for now.

There was a lot of talk about it getting “better” due to the backlash from Wish, but I think its overall rating has settled at around the upper-middle level.

There’s an Oscar emoji…

Why does this come up when I convert it…?

>>13

Recently…?

I thought Haruka Ayase’s robot thing would work out, but it didn’t.

>>15

I couldn’t win against the flow.

>>15

I had quite a bit of fun and the theme was good, but I feel like it was rated similarly to something that also used animals and didn’t have much in terms of dialogue, like FLOW.

What I thought after seeing how Anora and Brutalist are being evaluated is that relatively smaller-scale independent productions are probably good too…

I checked the past award winners, but was “Robot Dreams” a movie from 2023?

It took quite a while to come to Japan, didn’t it?

Moana 2 is just a rehash of the first one, and it hasn’t solved anything; it’s basically Moana 1.5.

What is “Enkant”? Is this the original title?!

Moana 2 is not bad, but… hmm.

The Japanese title is way better than just “Enchant.”

Well, the song was good, and it was an oddly fetishistic movie, so I understand.

Isn’t Moana the one with all the various things that happened in that scenario?

What does it mean to awaken to the call of awakening?

>>28

It’s like the Yankees, right?

From now on, with the death of political correctness and DEI, the entertainment quality and artistic expression of Disney works will greatly improve and become truly amazing, right?

>>30

Rather, it seems that Disney is likely to continue its policy of upholding political correctness and DEI to prove its integrity.

Unfortunately, due to its long history, there are numerous dark pasts.

I think that currently, European animation, especially from France, is getting quite good.

Flow has also been collaborating with Latvia.

>>31

I always thought that France-kun was capable of doing well since the days of Wakfu.

Well, it’s Disney after all.

There must be times in a long history when people grow tired of it.

Strange World

Wish

Moana 2

Hmmmmmm…

After seeing the visuals of Spider-Verse and the Turtles, Disney feels like it hasn’t changed much.

>>39

That’s why we incorporated a 2D look in Wish…

>>39

DreamWorks has also been adopting an oil painting style in works like Puss in Boots and changing the way the screen is presented…

Roz had improved even further in that area.

Past award-winning works

To be honest, the current animation film industry…

Pixar

DreamWorks

Sony

Illumination

Disney

Sky Dance

It feels like a hierarchy like that, doesn’t it?

Somehow, works that win Academy Awards guarantee a level of entertainment that makes popcorn taste better.

>>46

I honestly thought it was crazy that a romantic comedy about a prostitute and the heir of an oligarch won five Oscars.

Is it a reaction to last year’s Oppenheimer?

Disney is steadily declining since Lasseter left.

Pixar is steadily rising after Lasseter left.

Despite having Lasseter, Skydance is not growing at all.

>>47

There is a theory that John Lasseter had nothing to do with Disney’s decline…

>>47

Did SkyDance make an anime…?

>>79

With Apple Originals…

>>79

Welcoming Lasseter, who was exiled from Disney, to revitalize the animation industry.

I thought this was sure to be a big hit! But then it turned out to be exclusively distributed by Apple+, and they only made boring works.

Moreover, Apple also kicked them out, saying, “No one is really watching your work,” and their latest piece is being streamed on Netflix with music by Alan Menken, but it’s just too boring…

>>93

So awkward…

I’ve been hearing a lot about awakening lately.

Anime movies are seriously focused on lobbying activities, right?

I was surprised that Mirai of the Future was nominated.

>>49

Anime movies, or movies in general.

Recently, I’m really amazed at how many good movies DreamWorks is making.

I’m also looking forward to Dogman.

Shrek is somewhat promising.

Compared to Toy Story 3, Frozen, and Coco

In the past few years, the works seem to lack a certain style or vitality.

>>51

Pixar’s Inside Out 2 is selling like crazy, isn’t it?

Disney is, um.

Well, Moana 2 hasn’t even been nominated…

>>52

It’s clear that it’s not about sales since they keep giving awards to indie projects.

Rather, it’s crazy that one studio is surrounding it.

Pixar is really getting better and better, it’s scary.

It feels like there’s not much time gap since it’s been three years.

The BBC was complaining to the Academy, huh?

It’s nice to be new, but it feels like it lacks a sense of formality.

Well, the recent Disney works are boring, so I understand.

Stop-motion animation by director Guillermo.

Hand-drawn animation by director Hayao Miyazaki.

I was thinking that since it was coming, maybe clay animation would come… but I suppose that won’t happen…

>>60

Gurumit was good, but it can’t win against flow, right?

Don’t mind…

>>64

Naso

nin

I wonder… since Roz was quite good, I’m raising strange expectations like it could be even better!? So I want to keep my hopes in check a little more.

To begin with, this Academy Award…

The overly strong adherence to political correctness is excluding major works.

People with voting rights were fed up and declined to participate.

>>62

Well then, isn’t it strange that a Polynesian woman like Moana isn’t even nominated?

>>67

It’s probably a no-go because it’s almost a homogeneous ethnicity.

Last year’s global box office for movies had many of the top entries dominated by Disney.

Rather, Disney’s movie division is in excellent condition.

Firstly, not a single Disney Studios production has been nominated for the Annie Awards…

This is where Roz won the award.

If we’re talking about last year’s anime movie, it has to be Look Back.

>>71

Definitely this.

It was also highly praised overseas.

It’s clear that there’s discrimination against Asians when one is nominated for awards overseas but cannot win.

Is the reason Moana 2 didn’t win an award due to political correctness for people who are all about that?

Isn’t there a place where you can beat Roz and Wallace and Gromit?

Moana 2 was on the same level as those safe sequels from the 90s Disney videos that were neither good nor bad.

Even so, it was merely reevaluated as relatively better because the previous two years were so terrible.

Roz won an Annie Award, so don’t worry!

There are award-winning works even at Disney.

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur won the Annie Award in the children’s category.

Well, it’s an award after being canceled by Disney…

>>76

I would have liked to see the Disney-locked Gatekeeper receive an award and embarrass itself.

It seems that Disney goes through cycles of golden and dark periods every ten years, so there is still a long way to go.

>>77

I want the excitement of the 2010s back…

>>94

I thought about what happened, but I’ve guessed so many completely original ones at this age…

It’s obvious that I don’t care about Disney and just want to talk about political correctness.

So, will Snow White be available next year?

>>80

This is the movie that used the highest production cost in Disney history.

If that’s the case, it must be the highest attendance in history.

>>80

I feel like it will be more successful because they are using a more conventionally attractive character than the Little Mermaid.

Is there already something that’s expected to be nominated for competition in 2026?

It’s said to be three years, but…

Unlike others, Disney releases multiple works in a year.

Doesn’t Nazi Aki, who advocates the theory that people with disabilities are unnecessary, feel complicated emotions when reaching the ending after watching “Awakenings”?

It’s a shallow life.

No, is it a dog life because I’m an unemployed virgin Nazi?

Snow White was quite cute in the commercial.

Apple’s delivered content really feels like nothing in Japan, doesn’t it?

>>86

It’s not anime, but Severance is interesting… I watched it during a time when my mental health was really bad because of my company, so it was a bit dangerous at the beginning of Season 1.

Mirabel is taking the academy.

It was a movie that seemed like it would be super interesting, but it wasn’t.

What does it matter to win an Academy Award?

>>88

Um, can those kinds of people actually compliment me…?

I thought Zootopia was from around 2020, but I can no longer keep up with the world.

I honestly thought I was tired of the theme, but it turned out to be good.

>>95

Coming to break open the tear ducts with violent imagery of the royal road theme.

Anime films of the same kind as Violet Evergarden.

The Walt Disney Studios in the U.S. achieved an annual worldwide box office revenue of $5.46 billion in 2024, becoming the world’s number one studio, far surpassing others. “Inside Out 2” took the number one spot in the U.S. and worldwide for 2024. In second place was “Deadpool & Wolverine,” and “Moana 2” recorded the highest opening box office revenue in history within five days, continuing the trend of big hits, with three of the top four films released in 2024 being Disney titles.

Since 2019, Walt Disney Studios is the first studio to surpass a global box office of 5 billion dollars. Additionally, it has continued to achieve the global No. 1 for 8 out of the last 9 years consecutively.

>>96

I thought how far they’ve fallen because of the anonymous criticism, but they’re overwhelmingly strong…

On the contrary, Pixar has been vibrant and lively to the point of laughter since the expulsion of Lasseter.

What is it really?

>>98

Since there were already many capable personnel from the beginning, it may not have been a problem to expel Lasseter; in fact, it might have even made it easier for others to express their opinions.

>>98

I think it was good that the director’s authorial quality, which had been suppressed by Lasseter, began to come to the forefront.

>>106

Lasseter’s achievement was the establishment of a system for script meetings.

The strength of creativity through a group is said to have been created…

>>98

Because that middle-aged man who hugs anyone regardless of gender has been expelled, right?

>>98

Lasseter was exposed for not only sexual harassment but also for power harassment and constantly interrupting while creating Merida, so it’s probably for the best that he’s gone…

If there were red pandas or Lasseter, it probably wouldn’t have been made.

>>117

It’s like in Inside Out, the representation of Asian characters is really increasing a lot, isn’t it?

I’m looking at the article, and it mentions the first Black person in the costume category, the first Dominican to win Best Supporting Actress, and the most prominent role was that of a stripper.

It doesn’t feel like the exclusion of political correctness.

I want them to make another risqué furry anime like Zootopia.

It was worse back when I was doing Chicken Little.

>>102

It’s better than being a nuisance.

>>102

There were a lot of amazing works in the 2000s, but I wonder what it was all about.

There were some good works, but…

>No.1288881309

I don’t know about the Academy Awards, but Disney has been doing exceptionally well lately.

>>103

On the other hand, what’s really bad is really bad, so I wonder how that balances out.

The current Academy Awards use a politically correct point system.

Isn’t it the case that you won’t even be nominated unless you earn a certain number of points? 💩

>>104

Given the current racial demographics in America, gathering enough people to make a movie using only a specific race would be seen as intentional.

I genuinely think it’s wonderful that anime expressions other than Disney are being accepted.

I’ve heard that Disney is aware of political correctness, but considering the case of “Nimona,” which heavily features the theme of homosexuality, I truly wonder if that’s really the case…

>>111

They’re just conveniently using political correctness to bash Disney in the moment.

Isn’t it just that they’ve been prolonging the inability to make interesting movies with political correctness?

I don’t think that stopping political correctness will lead to the creation of great works again.

What’s the point, the current Academy Awards are pointless anyway.

Disney is in great shape.

>>115

Hollywood has a culture that mocks hit works as sellouts.

The success of award races and box office performance tends to be separate issues.

>>140

Hollywood tends to do well with genres other than genre films, and isn’t New York more strong in that tendency?

The time of Hercules is the dark age, right?

>>116

It’s true that it was the end of the golden age, but it’s still too early to call it a dark age.

The 2010s were at a level where just having Zootopia and Frozen was enough to get a return on investment.

>>118

I don’t understand why I can have hope…

Isn’t it ridiculous that Disney canceled Moon Girl and made the transgender episode banned from airing, yet still keeps winning awards?

>>119

The move after Trump’s reelection is so terrible that I feel like eggs might fly if something happens in the future.

It seems like I’ve earned enough just from Inside Out 2 without having to do anything else.

This is in addition to the big hits of Deadpool and Moana 2.

Regardless of political correctness and so on.

Strange World and Wish aren’t very interesting…

The fake 2D look of Wish is so lame that it’s shocking.

Why are they below the Turtles?

Award ceremonies are basically just for giving prestige to works that don’t sell, so it’s strange that Disney has been winning them almost every year.

I don’t need an award.

>>128

There must have been a place that overlooked anime that much.

People against political correctness only praise Disney at times like this…

It’s better to give up on things that were already in production before changing the policy.

I have hopes for a few years later.

Well, all of Disney’s works are morally right, so that’s good enough, isn’t it?

Someday the world will understand.

The mystery of last year’s catch at the payao is just too much.

I’m not doing any lobbying.

>>136

While it’s Godzilla, I’m also thinking it’s about time to let the Japanese people grab something too.

>>155

It’s been more on the Asian side these past few years.

>>159

It was a flow where they were distributed one after another from the parasite.

The anime division is unusually authoritarian, isn’t it?

>>137

No…?

People who can’t stand political correctness! Do they get angry at Spider-Verse and Soulful World too?

>>138

Sony’s political correctness is good political correctness.

>>143

The anti-PC crowd hates Disney the most, followed by Sony.

I hope you stick to political correctness because it’s more interesting to watch that way.

Management… probably won’t happen, judging by the feel of this thread.

Please evaluate based on the interestingness of the story, not on political correctness or MAGA…

It seems like a return to silly movies, perhaps because the audience is getting tired of the same old stuff.

>>144

I honestly thought there was some kind of conspiracy behind the fact that Everything Everywhere All at Once won instead of Top Gun.

>>161

It’s interesting, but since it’s a sequel aimed at nostalgic old men, I probably won’t take it.

>>161

It looks like you’re wearing a red hat.

>>144

When you market something as “morally right,” the fun tends to disappear somewhere.

Whether it’s interesting or not, it will fall outside of evaluation.

I understand that changing the compensation standards for executives is due to stopping DEI initiatives.

I understand why they stop warnings for old works.

It’s really shocking to delete the transgender story I was working on.

>>145

Moreover, Moon Girl and Win or Lose engage in the forbidden double hit.

Stop dragging down the subsidiaries of Disney, okay? Seriously.

>>145

Wasn’t it okay to leave that part?

In the first place, since Netflix’s Pinocchio won the award two years ago, what does it mean to say it’s authoritarian…?

>>146

It’s changing, that’s why it’s like that.

That’s why I’ve missed it for three consecutive years.

>>146

This year… there is actually a Pinocchio movie from Disney, but… it’s so poorly made that it’s hardly talked about…

Did the cast win a Razzie?

In America, large corporations, even in the entertainment sector, are heavily influenced by government policies, so it’s not just an issue of Disney alone.

I think that for at least the next four years, the level of political correctness will fade to a level that makes you wonder what it was all about.

The Academy awards are, in my personal opinion, completely untrustworthy since last year when they lived up to their name.

I forgot the name, but it’s the one with the four attributes.

“I could already smell that it’s going to be that kind of anime from the preview.”

>>152

My Element is so much fun, it feels like a waste…

>>156

That seems to be the case for today’s Disney fans.

What will happen to DC Comics, which has a self-destructive tendency to thoroughly squash projects that seem likely to be hits, in the context of a perpetual dark age for the copyright owner?

Will Pattinson’s Batman have a proper sequel?

>>153

What are you talking about?

I think Across the Spider-Verse was good last year, but well, it’s fine for you to live too.

By the way, the film that won the Academy Award was made for just 6 million dollars.

I thought I was seeing it wrong.

Both critics and audiences give it high scores, but I can’t tell if it’s what you’d call a “denden.”

It’s totally unrelated, but I found it hilarious when a foreigner said in their impression of Inside Out, “Why doesn’t everyone try to kill the emotion of sadness?”

There has never been a movie where Tom Cruise looks cool like me!

>>168

There is an impression that simple is best entertaining movies are hard to win awards.

Tom Cruise has never won an Academy Award, has he?

What is with the sense of stagnation in recent Walt Disney Studios productions?

Disney has depicted same-sex representations directed by a filmmaker in the MCU.

I have a proven record of cutting without any discussion.

Finally, the director’s intention was realized in the endgame.

What’s amazing about Flow is that it was created entirely with Blender and had a total budget of 600 million yen.

Finally, the Academy Awards and the community are getting excited about Blender.

My Element being written by a Korean has been quite a topic of conversation.

Did Asians have human rights… in that direction?

>>177

Because both black and white treat you as inferior.

Isn’t it that guy named Nata?

There are leaks suggesting that Merida was incredibly boring because Lasseter interfered and harassed the female director heavily… so if Lasseter had been around, the red panda would probably have ended up boring too…

>>179

The red panda is so boring.

>>183

Well, that may be true for you, but at least it’s popular enough to be made into a float for the overseas park…

My Element had a feeling of immigrant parental love, and it was quite good.

“Please stop with the dreams that push me around! Yet, in the end, I still hold respect for my family.”

I have a dream of winning a Japanese Academy Award with an anime made in MMD.

I’m glad that Pixar made a straightforward love romance with My Element.

The theme of immigration is also good.

When Payo was decided, the Black staff from Spider-Verse got really angry…

>>185

The bad labor environment was the problem.

Characters with different backgrounds that have been isolated until now meet each other.

We clash with each other, but we understand one another.

Goodbye to the isolated world until now! From now on, it will be a world where we acknowledge each other’s differences!

It’s like that, right? The recent Disney stuff.

In short, it’s like a lifetime remake of Zootopia.
