Disney is banking on a password crackdown and spate of sequels as it pushes to make its streaming business profitable.

The company, which is under pressure as audiences move away from traditional pay-TV and cinema, said it was on track to meet its goals after new subscribers and price rises helped to narrow losses in its streaming business.

    I wouldn’t have minded the references if the movie was good. It wasn’t and the songs were subpar.

    In the past ten years, I thought Big Hero 6, Zootopia, Moana, and Encanto were good. Raya, Strange World, and Wish were not for me… and those were three of the last four Disney animated original movies.

    For Pixar, they’ve been hit or miss for me too. I liked Inside Out, Coco, Soul, Luca, and Elemental. Didn’t care for The Good Dinosaur, Onward, Turning Red, or Lightyear.

    But sequels can be hit or miss too.

    One of the best animated movies I’ve seen in recent years (apart from Spider-Man) is The Mitchells vs. the Machines. It’s completely hyper, but original and funny.

        There is plenty of things Ioved as a kid that I can look at objectively look at now and say if it was good or not. I’m not sure if a kids enjoyment says much about quality; I used to think Gex was better than Mario.

              Your first comment on this thread, after I remarked that the Disney movies that OP didn’t like are the Disney movies my kids liked, and you responded that kids are not a good judge of quality.

              You were speaking on Disney, apparently not knowing what you’re speaking about.

                No, I’m speaking on kids not being the best case for taste, they/you used the Disney example. I did not. That’s how discussions work, you dork. I mean you seem to be able to follow along until you add your own narrative, so I think you can figure it out.

                    Fucking brain rot, you think you’ve made a point but you only made yourself look more foolish. I know what the fuck my own point is. You say my kids like these movies, I say regardless of how you feel about it ‘kids don’t have the best taste’. That’s it. That’s the point. I dunno why people can‘t seem to understand that sometimes people are talking about a certain part of their comments. It’s either being purposefully obtuse or straight up dumb. You can decide.
