Zootopia 2 could be another incredibles 2 if they wait the same amount of time.

Does it look like it can hit past 150 million?

I always find it fascinating how the same one thing can have a different effect on different people even though we’re also the same one thing:human.

It seems I went off topic. (but I’ll just leave that quote.)

Film SHOWS life, books TALK about life;so for me film (particularly animation) will always be the most powerful way to tell a story.

When looking at other animated films at this time of year, It’s interesting that the pattern seems to be that at its best Sunday matches Wednesday.

Money is never disappointing,but the context of expectations can sometimes make you feel it is.

Had frozen 2 been live action it probably would have opened to 174+.🙃

True,although frozen 2 was also marketed very well and they both have practically the same audience.

Knowing that Beauty and the beast 2017 opened to 174 million,can make you think it’s disappointing.

Think of the hellfire sequence from “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”.

Who wouldn’t love a BIG EPIC DRAMA MUSICAL;it’s the highest degree of emotion you can feel in filmmaking,especially in animation where reality is turned on an extreme intensified level.

.

One thing I learned from this whole case, is how much people (out of this forum) like to be informed about box office information in a detailed perspective,I always felt like I/we were the only ones.

Just saying/thinking.🙃

The beginning of anything is the process of a pushing point,and a pushing point is started from a beginning motivation;the beginning motivation towards the universe IS the representation of a creator,therefore the question shouldn’t be IF there’s a creator but what TYPE of creator.

Not to mention Paul Briggs the other talented co-director who originally was an animation effects artist, but with his passionate and keen sense of storytelling,he moved up into the story ranks proving to be a vital talent for the Walt Disney Animation Studios.

Dean Wellins the co-director has proven himself to be a really talented storyboard artist with him storyboarding the “let it go” sequence from “Frozen” , baymax and hiro’s first flight scene in “Big Hero 6”and countless other iconic Disney moments with that in mind this can be a really exiting film.

Now when it comes to films that we call “kids movies” they’re not, they’re just films that happen to not have an over abundance of violence,sex,etc. If there’s films that FEEL like it was made for children that’s the filmmakers doing of not accurately portraying life up on the screen.

Sometimes you see films with that superfluous sex scene or characters just swearing so much in an unnatural way. Probably because the filmmaker feels that he’s in the “adult” playground so he CAN put that in there.Instead of approaching a film with “how can I show a feeling of life up on the screen” you see filmmakers approaching it from “what tone am I putting up on the screen”, such a mindset leaves some films feeling like a stereotype rather then real life.

Movies is a piece of life up on the screen presented in story mode, right? So I believe films should be perceived that way regardless of any stereotypical mindset that we were brought up with.So when I write that “Spotlight” and “Schindler’s list” are not just “for adults”, I’m writing what I believe to be a fact that those films and other films with that similar of a tone in its content, is films that may have what we believe is uncomfortable content for children, but it’s still just films that are commenting or showing an aspect of life. So regardless if children like it, or we want them to like it, it’s not a film with “adult” content.One million children were killed in the holocaust regardless if we feel it’s suitable for them or not, so life is life, and films should be understood to be a reflection of that.

Edit

What do you mean? (I genuinely can’t tell what you mean by the wording).

When I wrote “target audience”, I was referring to the fact that movies are either pitched or thought of to be for a certain demographic. “Spotlight” or “Schindler’s list” are not movies just for “Adults”, and “Winnie the Pooh” and “Dumbo” are not “kids movies”, we sometimes assume that based on stereotypes society placed on perception of life

“Let It Go” from Frozen is one of those rare musical moments where if you skip the scene, you truly miss out on plot and character depth.
