I forgot they are making a Frozen 2. My god, it can't be any worse than the first one. What a pile of trash that was. So terribly generic. Aladdin and The Lion King were the last great motion pictures from that studio.

You just disregarded 22 years of Disney animated films. Way to go.

The Lion King is one of the most overrated movies in history, and Simba is one of the worst Disney animated leads.

Dear god, Alice 2's theater count.

Secret Life of Pets is the widest launch since The Dark Knight Rises.

And for good reason. PIXAR has had some gems, no question about it.  Walt Disney animation has been lukewarm for two decades. Don't confuse the two.

So you disagree that there has been a resurgence at WDAS? What's your opinion on Big Hero 6 and Zootopia? Even if we just look at box office reciepts, this isn't the same Disney from 10 years ago.

This reads like sarcasm.  Throw in a couple more exclamation points to make it clearer.

Zootopia was awesome. Big Hero 6 was solid. So if we're just going by those two then I wouldn't disagree with you. Maybe they are on the right track. But Frozen, God no.

[Ezen Baklattan]

For previews, I'd guess around IO numbers for Pets and a bit under $1m for Mike and Dave.

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore

Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care
what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on.
The cold never bothered me anyway

Why are so many Disney fans so overprotective of their films. If someone dare says they didn't like one of them... it's World War III

It's like kicking puppies or calling babies ugly in front of their moms. Just refrain from doing so. Personally, I think Frozen is brilliant and can't wait for the live-action version 20 years from now.

Me coming into this thread

 

[Water Bottle]

I've never seen Frozen. I did see the Frozen Once Upon a Time episodes so I feel like I know the story.
