It used to be when it came to the best movie production companies for animated movies the two successful companies were Warner Bros and Disney because when it came to creating successful movie hits Disney used to be king. But lately I've noticed that Disney has been losing touch with their movies and people cannot figure it out. Because Disney used to be known for successful animated movies such as The Little Mermaid in 1989 Beauty And The Beast in 1991 and Aladdin in 1992. But if you look at Disney today it seems that all they are focusing on are live-action versions of animated movies such as Cinderella Alice In Wonderland Aladdin The Lion King The Little Mermaid The Jungle Book and Mulan and with the live-action Snow White movie a failure I seem to think that Disney is now thinking that they want to make live-action movies rather than animated movies because more people want to watch live-action movies than animated movies. I think for Disney the troubles began when Oliver And Company was released in theaters in 1988 and how Oliver And Company became a hit in theaters is beyond me? But beginning with Oliver And Company it began a tradition of Disney releasing new films every year. But it was The Little Mermaid that became a smash hit for Disney in 1989 that made Disney the successful movie company. But if you look at Disney now every single movie they have high hopes for but the movie fails for no reason. Take for instance 2023's Wish was proven to be a monster hit but for some reason it failed in theaters while Moana 2 was an alright hit but the failure of Strange World hurt Disney a lot but movies like Raya And The Last Dragon received mixed reviews. I also think Disney has had better successes with their Pixar movies like Elemental and Inside Out 2 but Soul and Onward received mixed reviews upon their release on Disney+. I think Disney needs to make another successful animated film that will make them king of animated movies again because not since Frozen has Disney had a successful animated film aside from Encanto and if they returned to making great animated movies again people would watch them time and time again

I think Disney needs to realize that you cannot live on live-action movies alone and they need to return to making animated movies again. Because ever since Frozen was released Disney had hoped for another animated movie to become a solid hit but when the live-action Cinderella began the obsession with live-action remakes of classic films Disney saw the live-action movies as successful moneymakers. So they hoped to do it with Beauty And The Beast and Aladdin and The Lion King and once Mulan was released as a Disney+ exclusive due to the pandemic Disney collapsed and the same thing happened with Cruella. But once Encanto debuted in 2022 Encanto was a smash hit. But why Raya And The Last Dragon failed was because it simply didn't match the successes of other Disney movies. But I think Pixar has taken some of Disney's glory away because they have had hits and misses like The Good Dinosaur Onward and Soul and Lightyear and the only movies that have made franchises are Cars Toy Story and Inside Out. I am hoping that with the new upcoming Elio debuting June 20th Disney and Pixar will score a monster hit. But I think what Disney needs is another fairy-tale movie that is animated because since The Princess And The Frog in 2009 Disney was desperate for a return to hand-drawn animation but with Tangled people were disappointed that the animation was computer-animated and not hand-drawn which gave Tangled stellar reviews. But if Disney would score another home run it would save them and make them great movies once again

I can't figure out Disney's obsession with live-action movies but that's one of the reasons why Disney has lost touch with their movies. Because they haven't had a hit animated movie since Encanto and Frozen and they need another animated movie to return to full form again. Because in the 90's Disney had live-action movie hits like The Mighty Ducks series White Fang Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken Angels In The Outfield Air Bud and other live-action movies. But on the animated movie side not since The Princess And The Frog have we not seen a hand drawn animated Disney movie because beginning with Tangled they started using computer animation in their movies. But with the new Elio released today in theaters Disney will get back on top. But they need to quit releasing so much live-action remakes of classic films

What I think Disney is trying to do is trying to make their future movies Disney+ exclusives because when you look at it families are rarely taking their kids to the movie theaters and focusing on streaming movies. But this new movie Elio has taken the cake for Disney and Pixar because people had high hopes for it but it somehow has become a failure in theaters and there has been little promotion on this movie whatsoever. But I think what Disney needs to do is create an original animated movie that will get them back on top. Because I think the reason why Disney focuses so much on live-action movies as I mentioned before in my opening post is because Disney sees these live-action remakes of movies as a huge profit for them. When you look at the general picture the last Disney movie that was a smash blockbuster hit was Frozen and Frozen was the most successful movie of 2013 and you can see how successful Frozen became with the mini-movie Olaf's Frozen Adventure and it still ranks as a successful movie second to Beauty And The Beast from 1991. But why Frozen II was made I can't figure out why? But starting with Zootopia in 2015 Disney made Zootopia a smash hit mainly because of the big celebrity talent from Jason Bateman to Ginnifer Goodwin but Shakira made the film a monster hit and now a Zootopia II will be released in the future. But why Disney made Wish in 2023 is a mystery because it was supposed to be about the origin of the famous Disney wishing star but instead turned Wish into a musical fairy tale and the only reason why Wish became a small hit was because the character Valentino the goat was added for comic relief by Alan Tudyk from Resident Alien and when you stick Alan Tudyk in a Disney movie voicing a character the movie becomes a hit. But I think Disney needs to realize that animated movies are their strongest links and return to creating hand-drawn animated movies once again

I think why Disney is losing it's touch with it's movies is because they simply don't come up with any good ideas for movies and I think they're focusing on their Pixar movies and Marvel movies and their live-action reboots of classic animated movies. Take for instance why the Pixar movie Elio is doing so weak in theaters is because not many people watched it in theaters and the storyline is unoriginal and Pixar and Disney could've done a better movie. Another thing that Disney and Marvel did was for the newest Fantastic Four movie that's out in theaters now is cast Robert Downey Jr. in the role of Doctor Doom. And I discovered the answer today why they did this. The original Doctor Doom actor Julian McMahon had cancer and passed away last week and Marvel gave the role to Robert Downey Jr. because Julian was still sick with cancer and they knew he couldn't be able to play Doctor Doom anymore but how Robert Downey Jr. got the Doctor Doom role when he is playing Iron Man is odd to me. But in animated movies I think Disney was wrong to make Wish and they should've come up with a better fairy tale-like animated movie instead. But since Strange World failed in 2022 Disney has been hurt and lost it's creative touch and they need another hit animated movie to get back in the game soon

Why have Disney movies suddenly started feeling so… bad (https://www.google.com/search?q=Why+Are+Disney+Movies+So+Bad+Now%3F!&oq=Why+Are+Disney+Movies+So+Bad+Now%3F!&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQRRg90gEINTQ3ajFqMTWoAgqwAgHxBS_PjrLJ3hU1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)?

In this deep dive, we uncover how Disney went from the golden age of storytelling and innovation to a company churning out sequels, remakes, and cash grabs with little respect for fans or original stories.

I think with the Freaky Friday sequel Freakier Friday debuting in theaters August 8th Disney will start making good quality movies again because I think the main problem why Disney hasn't had a successful movie is due to the fact that the movies that Disney has put out in years have lacked success. Because if Disney would create another animated hand-drawn movie like a new Princess movie it would be a smart hit. But with upcoming releases like Tron Ares in October I think Disney is begging for a return to animated movies and with Zootopia 2 this will prove it

Disney is begging Hollywood for original IP’s that will win over Gen Z boys again (https://variety.com/2025/film/news/disney-marvel-lucasfilm-gen-z-1236494681/)

Leadership at Disney is pressing Hollywood creatives for movies that will bring young men (ages 13-28, aka Gen Z) back to the brand in a meaningful way, specifically original concepts.

Sources say Disney has been seeking new IP and pitches such as splashy global adventures and treasure hunts, as well as seasonal fare like films for the Halloween corridor. The calls come as the Star Wars machine struggles to produce any film project and the superhero genre sheds audiences by the minute.

Lilo & Stitch changed everything for Disney. It's wildly successful in a way many other remakes (like Snow White) have not been, how will that change how they view their remakes?

For 100 years, the Disney empire was built on a simple promise: magic. But the company Walt Disney built on storytelling is now a machine driven by something else: greed. And it's systematically destroying everything.

This is the definitive story of how Disney's greed is destroying its 100-year empire.

We expose the full, unfiltered story of a creative powerhouse in collapse. We reveal how an $11 billion failed bet on Disney+, a slate of disastrous box office bombs, and an endless pipeline of soulless remakes are the direct result of a corporate culture that chose profits over passion. This isn't just a story of a bad year; it's the story of a great betrayal.

The House of Mouse has made some questionable calls lately! Join us as we count down the most controversial Disney decisions in recent years. From shutting down beloved studios to filming in problematic locations, these choices left fans and critics alike scratching their heads. Our countdown includes filming "Mulan" in Xinjiang, shutting down Blue Sky Studios, suspending Jimmy Kimmel, charging extra for Disney Premier Access, and using AI in "Secret Invasion." We also look at Gal Gadot's casting as the Evil Queen, the Galactic Starcruiser's $4,800 price tag, and the lack of marketing for "Strange World." Which Disney blunder do you think was the worst? Let us know in the comments below!

Only a few years ago, Hollywood deemed Disney to be an unstoppable juggernaut, armed with the likes of Star Wars (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKoVqCG0T_E), Marvel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YwjjrOnKYw), Avatar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HQghy9ZtY4&pp=ugUEEgJlbg%3D%3D) and more … but now, Fire and Ash (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2iq3fe8NcI&pp=ugUEEgJlbg%3D%3D) is underperforming, Avengers Doomsday trailer aren’t getting any reaction, and Star Wars is already written off. Let’s see how this went so very wrong, and where the Bob Iger company will pivot from here!

I think Disney's movie troubles began with the death of Roy E. Disney and when Roy E. Disney was alive Disney movies were hits and they made a lot of money but as soon as Roy E. Disney died it caused Disney a lot of hurting and soon movies began flopping big time. But since Frozen was released in 2013 it still ranks as the highest grossing Disney movie since Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs in 1937. But with Zootopia 2 a huge hit it is the movie that has brought Disney out of their shell because Disney needed a hit badly after Wish failed and Zootopia 2 has proven it. But there are some movies that weren't actually needed like Mary Poppins Returns and why they made a sequel to Mary Poppins is a mystery

Disney (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G2NQALUvhs) once ruled Hollywood with Magic, Money, and Trust. 🏰

But somewhere along the way… something broke.

From Snow White to Lion King, Disney built an empire on risk and bold storytelling. Now? The numbers tell a very different story.

📉 Billion-dollar losses
📉 Franchise fatigue
📉 Fans turning away
📉 And a creative collapse no one saw coming

Stick around—because the truth behind Disney’s fall is far uglier than you think.

Disney names Josh D’Amaro as its next CEO, succeeding Bob Iger (https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/business/disney-damaro-ceo.html)

The 54-year-old D’Amaro, a 28-year Disney veteran who has overseen Disney Experiences division, will assume his new role on March 18. D’Amaro won the job over Dana Walden, Disney’s top TV executive who served as co-chairman of Disney Entertainment. Walden was Jimmy Kimmel’s personal pick to succeed Iger (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/jimmy-kimmel-interview-suspension-disney-donald-trump-1236396433/).

How did Disney go from the Internet most beloved animation studio to currently one of the most hated. In the last 30 days alone, Disney has lost over 7 million subscribers from its streaming service.

Their assets are growing but their value is getting worse. There’s never been a year like 2025 for Disney.

Snow White was a mess, and Captain America could not retain its fanbase. They tried releasing originals through Pixar but even Elio could not restore their lost audience, leaving Disney with no other option than to blame fans for their failure. Disney is dying and dragging innocent studios with them. From controversy to controversy to taking the record for the biggest fall from grace of an entertainment giant within a decade.

Once decade plus into the Disney era, the Star Wars (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT7EYtwH1iU) franchise is in the weakest position it has ever been at any point in its entire history, curtesy of Kathleen Kennedy and Bob Iger, and the upcoming Masters of the Universe is about to make that even more plain than Michael and Backrooms already has.

Lucasfilm spent years fracturing the Star Wars fan base by refusing to focus on making content that all audiences can enjoy and prioritizing merchandising over storytelling while slowly drifting away from the fans who kept Star Wars alive for decades. Now the box office for The Mandalorian & Grogu has revealed that this IP is weaker than ever. Turns out this is what happens when a franchise stops appealing to its core audience.

From Snow White and Pinocchio to Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and Mulan, and more... Disney built its reputation on innovation and unforgettable storytelling.

So why is everything they do now either a crummy sequel or a lackluster live-action remake?

In this video, we're taking a deep dive through nearly 90 years of Disney history to figure out how in the halibut the studio that practically created the magic became obsessed with cheaply remaking it.
