Disney drops Fairy Tale Movies .. reason?

[Cyanna]

Disney is also really good at churning out repacks of its movies and direct-to-video tie-ins for decades after the initial thing is created. Nothing new doesn't mean they won't continue to monetize their existing franchises for the next 50 years as much as they have been already.

Naturally.

I really was just referring to the release of new additions to the princess lineup, which seemed to be what the first post was speaking of.

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

Sadly they bought Atlantis from FOX when FOX decided to can their animation staff (Titan AE didn't do too well in the theaters) so I hardly consider Atlantis to be a "Disney movie" as it is in name only. Still love it to pieces though :3

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.

1. Disney isn't giving up on animation, they are giving up on princess/fairy tale movies for a while. I believe another Pooh movie is in the works. They are doing this because Princess and the Frog didn't go over too well and was muddled in controversy. (The first black princess...)

2. Pirates was an awesome movie that had a couple of pretty good sequels, but really that franchise only lives because Johnny Depp keeps coming back. I think it needs to end already, imho, before it goes bad.

Actually Disney has canned that entire staff, and no more shitty Disney direct-to-dvd sequels are going to be made either

That's actually good news since it was the Disney money whoring with shit like Bambi Part XIII: Bambi Takes Manhattan that turned Disney flicks from 'usually worth watching' to 'barely worth being aware they've been released'.

Wait... so they decided they had enough money? That crap was a gold mine - little kids don't care if it's good, they can't tell the difference. They point to the characters and scream "want." Those DVDs sell.

Did they say they won't be doing the "limited" re-release of every movie on a 5-year rotating basis in the format of the day too?

(The first black princess...)

America has got to have the mental age of about 6 years old if that was actually a point of discussion around this movie.

Pathetic.

That movie couldn't do ANYTHING right to satisfy the PC Police.

they are still doing "the vault" thing as far as I know... Maybe the complaints of shitty sequels finally reached them? either that or maybe they just weren't selling as well with the reinvented ponies, barbie, carebears and strawberry shortcake also on the market.
