All they've done is milked their previous series dry:

Animated:
Little Mermaid 2
Beauty and the Beast 2
Sleeping Beauty 2
101 Dalmations 2
Pocahontas 2
Jungle Book 2
Tarzan & Jane

Live Action:
George of the Jungle
George of the Jungle 2
Inspector Gadget
Inspector Gadget 2
Santa Clause 2
Air Bud
Air Bud: Golden Reciever
Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch
Air Bud: Spikes Back
Air Bud: World Pup

All of which sold like the big, steaming lumps of poo that they were.


Coming soon: Lion King 1 1/2.
And Pirates of the Caribbean 2.

Lets look at what Disney has sold that's done well lately.

Animated:
Mononoke Hime/Princess Mononoke - Awesome movie. They didn't make it. (Studio Ghibli)
Spirited Away - Awesome movie. They didn't make it. (Studio Ghibli)
Kiki's Delivery Service - They didn't make it. (Studio Ghibli)
Castle in the Sky - They didn't make it. (Studio Ghibli)
Toy Story - They didn't make it. (Pixar)
Bug's Life - They didn't make it. (Pixar)
Monster's Inc - They didn't make it. (Pixar)
Finding Nemo - They didn't make it. (Pixar)

Live Action:
Pirates of the Caribbean - All they did was supply the $. The only reason this movie didn't blow all day long was because it was directed by Gore Verbinski, who also directed The Ring :eh: and The Mexican :eh: :eh:

Thank you very much.

Disney didn't release Princess Mononoke though, Miramax did.
Disney didn't want to take Any of Studio Ghibli films cause they felt they weren't going to be strong sellers in the states. When it did release Spirited Away it wanted all of Stuio Ghibli's films also.

Miyazaki only agreed if they wouldn't alter the context.

I had to get a Region 3 of Spirited Away so I could watch it, then get the Dinsey release. Only a year later did Disney release it.

Spritied Away was released in the states in theatres but very select theatres.

I do have to admit the older Disney stuff, I enjoy. I like art they had in the 50s. I personally think Aladdin was the last good disney film made.

New stuff is too CGIish.

Disney = crapola.
