How Disney used the Harry Potter Franchise to Sabotage 2D Animation...Twice

[@noahthe0tter]

What do you think of this? Do you miss 2D animation in Disney movies? 🤔 Tell me below 👇

[@maverickhurst-t5f]

i miss 2d animation anime is good with 2d animation

[@orangeslash1667]

@maverickhurst-t5f There's also some 2d films from Europe.

I did not know that Harry Potter was used to disrupt Disney movies not once, but twice! Thank you for the informative video!

[@noahthe0tter]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@DadpoolandPulverine-f1w]

Disney is very much messing up using a literal rival's franchise to sabotage their own films

[@noahthe0tter]

Yes, yes they are. Sadly I doubt Disney will ever return to 2D animation

[@battlemageazulio1019]

Honestly, executive meddling is the bane of MANY a good thing... 2D Animation is apparently no exception. 😔

[@noahthe0tter]

It certainly does suck

[@WallabeeBeatles-lw8sp]

Dang, I can't believe Disney is passing up on bringing back 2D animation twice even - shame on them!

[@noahthe0tter]

Yeah, they really messed up here

[@andrewkful]

I will never stop mentioning this!! Everyone seems to have forgotten this horrible marketing ploy and yet it's important ot remember it!

[@scoutart1508]

fortunately, I have a passion project for Disney with that medium and Alan Menken IS THE HEART, SOUL, AND BACKBONE of that project that I am preparing on, essentially based on a musical japanese Disney attraction

[@noahthe0tter]

I wouldn't pitch it to Disney, ngl. Find a studio that will actually respect your vision more

[@scoutart1508]

@@noahthe0tter In case you didn't notice, it has already been confirmed a while back that the studio was open for future filmmaker to pitch new hand drawn movies, i just hope that nothing goes in vein when i am one of those people that is mostly inspired by the timeless glory of the golden past such as the renaissance, though i kind of wish that the sense of enthusiasm was permanent since the 1990s

[@MidoriNatsume]

The gimmick is getting stale, nowadays every major studio can make a gorgeous looking CGI movie, and Live Action adaptations are being stolen by Video Game movies. So I imagine that Disney wants to open another bottle of nostalgia that they have been carefully aging in their vault, the 2d Animation one. As much as I hate the sentiment of nostalgia, I must admit that I would be excited to see a classic 2d Disney Musical movie come out.

[@noahthe0tter]

@@MidoriNatsume indeed, I definitely would be excited to see that too

[@vaticancitybride7137]

The real reason most animated studios abandoned 2-D animation art form is because of meddling, sabotaging studio heads who believe over inflated budgets equals massive box office success.

[@PichusBlueberryPies]

I’m so glad more people are talking about this film since despite it being one of my favorite films period, no one seems to remember its existence in favor of The Princess and the Frog. Hopefully one day we see the bear again in a major format, but I could be dreaming of a future that will never happen.

[@noahthe0tter]

The Princess and the Frog is criminally underrated

[@PichusBlueberryPies]

@@noahthe0tterpersonally both The Princess and the Frog and Winnie The Pooh 2011 are immensely underrated and both should be considered for watching by the general public.

[@Thegamingtrouge]

Disney Forever love the work not the Company

[@noahthe0tter]

Yes, exactly - the Disney company sure isn't worth rooting for

[@Thegamingtrouge]

Yeah the people are amazing but the higher ups are crazy stupid sometimes ​@@noahthe0tter

[@CalTheHogNosedBat]

Harry Poohter, the original Barbenheimer, lol

[@gasternecross]

dang it disney stop sabotaging good films!

[@noahthe0tter]

They sure messed up yeah

[@dylanfleurentin647]

I feel like Disney didn't really need to resort to sabotage in order to make a 3d movie. They needlessly screwed over everyone who worked on Treasure Planet.

[@noahthe0tter]

@@dylanfleurentin647 yes they did

[@DX47-h3z]

I liked Treasure Planet. I haven't watched any of the more recent live-action remakes, most are even pointless. Probably just a safe bet instead of 'new' stories.

[@noahthe0tter]

Treasure Planet is very underrated imo

[@AntiDarkus]

They need to go back to Disney to the animation so far in the past decade, their Disney live action remake haven’t been going well

[@camjewell7721]

The sweet irony of this is that Treasure Planet features something atypical for the early 2000s, a strong female character, Amelia, paired with a competent male character, Doppler. Amelia is not a strong female character, TM like the central characters in every female reboot ever, and Doppler is actually intelligent and not a complete idiot. Again, atypical for the early 2000s where Jimmy Neutron, boy genius, is regularly outsmarted by regular girl Cindy Vortex. Conversely, one of the things the Harry Potter movies are criticized for is taking Ron’s smart moments from the books and giving them to Hermione for the purposes of creating a strong female character.

[@silveryote1]

I always knew they were purposely shooting themselves in the foot

[@technothefox5427]

Disney is still doing this with their other movies (example being the new Lion King film that's out alongside the new Sonic movie), which is not a good idea for them at all (except some movies).

[@noahthe0tter]

I think the Mufasa movie they were actually hoping to have success with, unlike this

[@CalTheHogNosedBat]

Martin Short was awesome in Treasure Planet though.
