Disney is banking on a password crackdown and spate of sequels as it pushes to make its streaming business profitable.
The company, which is under pressure as audiences move away from traditional pay-TV and cinema, said it was on track to meet its goals after new subscribers and price rises helped to narrow losses in its streaming business.
I assume they mean “Wish”, also known as “how many Disney references do I need to make for them to count as a movie”
I wouldn’t have minded the references if the movie was good. It wasn’t and the songs were subpar.
In the past ten years, I thought Big Hero 6, Zootopia, Moana, and Encanto were good. Raya, Strange World, and Wish were not for me… and those were three of the last four Disney animated original movies.
For Pixar, they’ve been hit or miss for me too. I liked Inside Out, Coco, Soul, Luca, and Elemental. Didn’t care for The Good Dinosaur, Onward, Turning Red, or Lightyear.
But sequels can be hit or miss too.
One of the best animated movies I’ve seen in recent years (apart from Spider-Man) is The Mitchells vs. the Machines. It’s completely hyper, but original and funny.
The ones you didn’t like my kids loved, so maybe you’re just not the target audience anymore?
