    A matter which is never mentioned or even hinted at in the movie. If that's what you saw, you need to watch again, and pay attention to what's actually on the screen rather than what's in your head.

    I saw the film 2 1/2 years ago in December, so my memory of the film is a bit fuzzy. All I can remember is a princess falls in love, the many sing alongs, comic relief supporting characters like the reindeer and snowman, and a generic good defeats evil story= a generic Disney princess movie. I have no intention of seeing Frozen again when I can enjoy "better" animated flicks with popcorn like Inside Out, Zootopia, Big Hero 6, Wreck-it Ralph and Despicable me 1 & 2.

    Maybe cause isn't a "generic Princess movie", it is the "new Princess movie" and nothing of similar have been done over the past 80 years of Disney.

    It follows the same generic formula: forbidden love story and a lousy sing along. The film's plot at times resembles Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. The only difference is Frozen cashed in on its popular song "Let It Go" and had better marketing like a McDonald's commercial. It's the "new business strategy" for Disney to maximize profits from a movie.

    China can eats Up $200M now.Nothing is impossible.$150M is almost locked in China.Zootopia will be huge in Mainland.

     

    Most people expect that number for SW7.even Disney think so.Disney had the biggest promotion ever for SW7.They don't pay much attention to Zootopia.

    it's interesting.You can never know how large a sleep hit will be.How large China can hit?Who knows

    I think Disney picked a good release date for Zootopia, where there is less competition. Bad release dates for SW7 and KFP 3, notable big hits were released shortly afterwards and attracted moviegoers from SW7 AND KFP 3.

  4. You have to look at the entire filmography of WDA vs Pixar. WDA is better in my opinion, Pixar only surpassed WDA in the 2000s and made a steady decline in the early 2010s. During the 90s and early 2010s, WDA made better animated films.

    1990s

    WDA: Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Hercules, Aladdin, Mulan, Pocahontas, Dinosaurs, Tarzan, Fantasia 2000

    Pixar: A Bug's life, Toy Story, Toy Story 2

    Early 2010s

    WDA: Tangled, Zootopia, Big Hero 6, Frozen, Wreck-it Ralph, Winnie the Pooh

    Pixar: Monster's University, Cars 2, Brave, The Good Dinosaur, Inside Out, Toy Story 3
