I hate modern Disney.

I think Disney knows. As a child I got excited by the castle opening of their movies. Classic Disney was great. If Disney was still held in such regard, it would have been proud to start TFA and TLJ with its Disney castle in lieu of the necessarily omitted Fox fanfare.

I was initially surprised by this but it makes sense as a branding decision. Marvel doesn’t have the Disney logo either, and I figure Pixar wouldn’t too if they didn’t already and if the Pixar/Disney Animation confusion wasn’t mutually beneficial.

Being a horrifying, monopolistic nightmare isn’t thought of as a good thing these days. If Disney put its logo on everything it owned, our world would be like Demolition Man and Taco Bell.

I’ll go with when they acquired Marvel. That’s when they got incredibly obnoxious to me, but I suppose they’ve been evil for longer than that.

I place the birth of modern Disney after the end of the Disney Renaissance, when they stopped making traditionally animated films and started producing pop tarts like Miley Cyrus.

That is an insult to Pop Tarts, my breakfast of choice for decades.

That’s at about the same time, isn’t it? She was in the late 2000s, wasn’t she?

I think the Marvel acquisition happened a couple years after her big debut, but yeah, essentially around the same time.

Weird, almost like the same time you guys became adults. But there definitely isn’t a connection there.

Disney shoving revolting products into my face every which way I turn isn’t connected with me becoming an adult.

EDIT: I also hate how they’ve handled Star Wars and I hate how they handle their classic movies and I hate how they’re remaking all of their animated features into boring CGI and live-action films.

Exactly. Plus it isn’t as if I’m blind to classic Disney’s sins. Ol’ Walt himself helped make modern copyright law what it is today.

I don’t see how what they’re doing now is much different than what they’ve always done.

The handling of Star Wars lies in LFL, not Disney. I’m not sure what they’ve done to their classic movies? Remaking their animated features isn’t entirely new (101 Dalmatians, Jungle Book), and CGI is pretty much the only way to tackle some of those stories.

Basically, who gives a fuck.

We might as well have a 1% Disney Tax taken out of paychecks that gives free admission for all Americans.

I would support that!

Hell yeah man.

If i create a petition, will you sign it?

This is my idea! Not yours!

Keep Circulating the Tapes.

Disney may annoy and irritate you, but I’d hardly call them “evil.”

Slathering their animated classics with DNR and questionable color correction to the point they don’t look like vintage animation anymore? And don’t get me started on Fantasia’s last so called restoration.
I can ignore the pointless remakes, but treat the the originals like the crown jewels they are.
If they did a live action The Black Cauldron I might be slightly interested in that though.

I don’t own any of their animated classics on BD so that was a legitimate question.

I was actually thinking recently that I’d like to get Fantasia, is there any good release of that?
