Yeah putting this in streaming this December would just be a dumb idea in a long term business perspective, which should be what Disney is thinking at this point.

I agree on the songs, well everyone just keeps saying to all the Disney musicals that the songs are boring or a step down from “Frozen” but the moment the songs blow up they shut up. The songs for me are on par with Encanto’s and Frozen 2, if I rank the musicals based solely on their songs: Frozen Encanto Frozen 2/Wish Moana Tangled

Yeah I also think the lackluster opening came from the middling reviews and the animation style. I for one am not thoroughly enticed by the animation style Disney tried this time, and I wouldn’t doubt the general audience would really find it “cool”, cause it’s not. WDAS’s CGI style has been excellent ever since, so I’m not sure why did they have to mix it up this time. The ocean in Moana looks GORGEOUS, Encanto had this lush glow, etc.

Well, if Wish flops probably the only good this we’ll see is WDAS shying away to their formulaic musicals. Like I love all their musical films, but I’ve been dying to have a musical with a male protagonist. 90s had those with Aladdin, Hercules and The Lion King. It seems WDAS had greatly constricted their musicals as girl’s film of some sort?! And they’re diluting the market with their “princess”-like formulaic films. I know King of the Elves was something they were working on years ago, maybe a musical of that will work.

This was very good! At All Cost transported me and gave me chills, together with This Wish and Knowing What I Know Now. My only complaint was I’m a Star number was pretty generic, and the animation on that one was pretty clunky. But overall this is extremely great!

This is purely fun and heartwarming, the songs were also great! The critics are just too brutal for whatever reason. if this came out ~2010 after Disney slump then this would be getting rave reviews. I don’t know what’s up with the critics. This Wish, At All Cost, Knowing What I Know Now are just epic!

Indeed, they marketed the hell out of it like their entire holiday bonuses would depend on this. And I hope it pays off.

Best case scenario is this pull a The Greatest Showman and legs out through the holidays like crazyyy despite the middling reviews

Crazyyyy, I guess Disney can kiss that Animated Feature Oscsr goodbye. But I’m thoroughly surprised by the middling reviews. Hope this goes above 70% when all is said and done.

It’s a good movie at its core, but the concept of “internet hopping” and all those apps are just very outdated and very un-universal

I think Moana is 5th place in Domestic, BH6 is 5th for WW gross tho edit: oops, Moana was bigger WW

I wouldn’t go that far…yet. Frozen literally had zero competion until February. Zootopia just resonated to kids and adults alike with its political and relevant theme whereas The Lion King is just a once in a lifetime phenomenon. This has Wonka and Migration pulling the family audience by December, plus Trolls is also there. But this definitely looks primed to succeed, hopefully.

Would’ve loved a premiere where the stars were present. But overly happy with the great reviews this is getting!

They gotta extend this in theatres at this point, too much money left out if they won’t

Nah. Cinderella numbers is the ceiling for this one. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE knows Snow White story just like Cinderella. There’s no reason to really see the movie and see something new. But given all the controversies, this is really just a bomb
