Fantasia 2000. Disney knew from a fairly early stage that this would almost certainly lose them money, yet they made it anyway.

Preparing a movie's disk release involves a lot of time and money well in advance. This release date was probably set internally before the movie even opened in the country, and changing it at this (extremely) late juncture amounts to scrapping huge portions of that investment and potentially angering business partners and investors. A few potential broken records aren't really worth that to Disney.

Eh, for PatF it really depends on how you look at it. As the next in a long line of Disney Princess movies, Princess underperformed. For a movie with a black female lead and mostly black cast, it performed incredibly well. And Emperor's New Groove was totally a brght spot, unless you're soley judging on profitability.

Game of Thrones? No, I don't watch tv, if I think I'll like a show I'll just buy it on disk (still nostalgic for physical media). In this case, I'd rather read the books, but I'm waiting to make sure A Song of Ice and Fire doesn't go the way of Wheel of Time. Jason Statham hasn't been in much (anything, really) that pings my interest.

You most certainly said something about women. Using "pussy" as a derogatory term is inherently misogynistic. It claims that a person is feminine, and that that's a bad thing. It only makes sense in a mindset that places being male as inherently superior to being female. If you truly believe that genders are equal, then implying that a member of one is like another is nonsensical, as derogatory terms only function as such when comparing two things of unequal value. First of all, for someone who doesn't say anything without the data, you've done a wonderful job of assuming what generation I belong to without any data. So good job there. That's not even mentioning the blatant falsehoods about the fall of the Roman Empire, which was not particularly decadent at the time of it's fall, and was brought down by a social and technological equal. Secondly, you've done a nice job moving the goalposts, but let's actually address what we were talking about, not a vaguely related topic that you happen to have information handy for, shall we? Your original complaint was about pampering and feelings of entitlement. Your GG&S quote doesn't actually have anything to say on that. It's all about passive vs. active entertainment (which could be connected to a pampering culture, but isn't inherently so; it's properly a property of a wealthy culture, which is not the same thing), with a side order of New Guinean genetic superiority (which isn't relevant to the topic at hand). Perhaps I should have specified you need relevant data, because the price of tea in China has nothing to do with this.

I'm trivializing nothing. I'm making no statements whatsoever about the relative ease or attitude of the generations in question. I have no data on that. And neither do you. Yet you seem perfectly fine with making wide, sweeping generalisations about how entitled the current generation of kids are based on a handful of cases. That's pathetic. You don't judge how well a movie is doing by listening to colleagues around the water cooler. You use the actual data collected by theatres and distributors. The same principle applies here. And now you're adding some misogyny to the melange. That's just wonderful.

Yes, yes, keep throwing out individual anecdotes and trying to pretend that they compound to actual data. When you hand pick which examples you use for each side, you can construct whatever result you want. This sort of intellectual dishonesty is very unbecoming of you, you're better than that.

Not really. If you want to indicate a connection with ice and snow via a character's design, you have a relatively limited palette of colors to choose from.

Nope. Winnie the Pooh, Fantasia 2000, and The Rescuers Down Under all came first.
