Disney drops Fairy Tale Movies .. reason?

Postby post-it » Thu Feb 17, 2011 4:39 pm

Disney has decided not to do any more animated fairy tale movies for awhile,
a 73-year tradition that made it the top children’s and family studio in Hollywood.
Thus, TANGLED will be the last animated fairy tale movie for a long time.
The biggest reason cited for this change is that girls no longer view princesses and getting married to be the idea

Source: Los Angeles Times, 11/21/10.

.. It is not that far from the truth; even Anime has pushed itself away from the main stream.
Most series today no longer consider Marriage as part of any tradition suitable for anyone;
and who can blame them! I' mean, come-on guys ( you know this to be true from what I've seen )
would you rather be dating someone light as a feather or so heavy that you need a ForkLift
to carry her across the threshold?? .. .. come-on -- be honest .. .. .. ... ....

Well it was a dumb bullshit lie to sell to little girls in the first place.

Time to R&D up another gimmick to keep the masses pacified!

Absolutely nothing wrong with wanting be a princess or wanting to get married. The problem is that has always been presented as the ONLY option, rather than one of several options available to girls AND boys.

Maybe now Disney could give steampunk/sci-fi adventures (Like Atantis and Treasure Planet) another try? :awesome:

Just like Cartoon Network showing live action shows or MTV not playing music videos anymore...I'll never understand this stupidity.

Cartoon Network has redeemed itself to some extent tho. Atleast they're broadcasting old cartoons again.

PS. Im glad Disney stopped their animated movies. They should focus on making the Pirates of the Caribbeans 4th movie a decent one// like its previous entries.

The recent fairy Tale movies in disney have been a little different than their older ones. I absolutely love the movies and you could tell that they were changing a little. The focus of Tangled wasn't to get married and while I havent watched The Princess Frog, I heard that the main character was actually hardworking and didn't automatically fall in love with the guy. Also think about Lilo & Stitch. That wasn't about princesses getting married either. They really haven't been constantly producing princess-marriage movies for a while.

Also, let's think about the fairy-tale marriage movies they made. It was literally about girls who did nothing else with their lives, but got married. Cinderella's life was all better because she was pretty and danced with a prince at a ball D= Ariel was 15 and got married. Sleeping Beauty was about getting married and snow white. The list goes on.

Mulan was awesome, but the point of that movie wasn't to get married. They probably saw the success of Pixar and Miyazaki and thought that it was time to take influence from that.

I would like to see the rest of the article though to see if it says anything else about what they're doing with their Animation as a whole.

Too bad, Tangled was one of the first non-Pixar Disney movies I liked in a long long time.

Coincidentally, Tangled was one of the first non-Pixar Disney movies where both her parents were alive, she didn't have tits even bigger than Barbie's, and where the female lead really had a personality and development as the movie progressed. Usually Disney princess = brainless bimbo with *HUGE* knockers who's sole job is to get wet when hero boy came around.
