The Rise & Fall of DisneyToon Studios - Disney’s Controversial Animation Sequel Empire

i think the point was that with the right investment and opportunity disneytoon could have been Disney’s quirky cousin that would allow experimentation in animation and storylines; leading to films that might be more cult classics like a goofy movie vs Disneys usual over-commercialization of their movies now. where it’s seems like they try to make movies to make merchandise to sell lol

I really don't get Lasseter. He did an interview on the stigma of 2D movies in the eyes of the public, but then he first shuts down their Australian studio, then he blamed Princess and the Frog's failings on its title, sent Winnie the Pooh 2011 to die against Harry Potter, then claimed 2D was no more. And then decided Disneytoon's Planes was good enough for cinema. For a guy that claimed to be on 2D's side his actions didn't reflect that.

[@YesterworldEntertainment]

Honestly, the whole "ending" of the episode could've been a separate episode in itself...I mean they quite literally shut down DA Australia, and then just outsourced all the CGI animations to Prada Studios...which is kinda the same thing Disney was doing before, which they were so critical of

21:50 -- Regarding Lasseter's disdain for the direct-to-video sequels, I always thought that the Gusteau's frozen TV dinners in "Ratatouille" were supposed to represent the sequel films. You know, the TV dinners that the heroes burn in a bonfire :D.

[@VCJunkie]

I’ve also viewed Ratatouille as a metaphor for the inner-workings of The Walt Disney Company in the mid-2000’s. Gusteau is Walt Disney, inspiring the young artists, Skinner is Eisner, always putting profit over quality, and never wanting to experiment, Linguini is the Pixar leadership, feigning competence, but ultimately clueless without that true creative influence, and Remy represents the artists at Pixar, always eager to display their skills, but never given the opportunity to succeed.

[@cruzcflores]

@@VCJunkie Yeah, but it turned out the inner workings of the company were more like Sunnyville Daycare from Toy Story 3 with Lasseter as Lotso (unwanted) Hugginbear.

[@VCJunkie]

Cruz Flores Lol (it’s “Sunnyside,” btw) All joking aside, the previous era of Pixar (post-Toy Story 3, pre-Incredibles 2) was run in a manner similar to how Lotso ran Sunnyside. John Lasseter controlled nearly every aspect of production, and granted creative freedom to the directors in his inner circle (Pete Docter, Andrew Stanton, Brad Bird, and Lee Unkrich). However, anyone outside of that circle, both veteran and newcomer, would be given very little freedom, and would often be separated from their projects (some examples of this treatment can be seen with Brenda Chapman and Brave, Doug Sweetland and Monsters University, and Bob Peterson and The Good Dinosaur).

One has to wonder just how dark Dopey's backstory was to make that Snow White spinoff TOO dark... I mean, this was based off Snow White, which is so much scarier and intense for children than we all remember because we internalized our collective trauma. -Don't get me wrong. I'm glad that there's a Disney movie that challenges kids and stays pretty true to its dark roots. I just can't go in the woods at night without getting freaked out about trees with demonic faces thanks to that movie (totally normal almost 30 year old behavior, right). What the hell was so dark about Dopey's story that outdid demon trees, attempted assassination/organ harvesting, and horrific transformations?

[@ForeverLaxx]

Well, according to the line shown on screen in the video, Dopey was apparently going to play witness to his own mother's gruesome death. That turns a character from a comedic relief role into one of tragedy I guess.

[@katiebutler9927]

@marianne mccrank Good point. I mean most Disney movies have gotten into dark plot points before but thank God that Seven Dwarfs dark origin story got canned.

[@Attmay]

@@ForeverLaxx There was a stage version at Radio City Music Hall in the late 1970s that actually was taped for TV, aired on HBO and The Disney Channel, and released home video. At the end of it, Dopey actually talks.

[@SwiftFoxProductions]

@@ForeverLaxx They were, apparently, wanting to give a reason for Dopey's muteness. The idea being that he went mute from the trauma of seeing his mother die. This would've been a pretty bad idea, since it actually contradicts the explanation that had already been given for Dopey's muteness in the original film. Dopey couldn't have gone mute for any reason (traumatic or otherwise) because it's specified that he's never spoken a word in his life. Happy states in the original film that Dopey doesn't even know if he can speak or not 'cause he simply has never tried (that being one of the things that makes him "dopey").

Bambi II is seriously one of my favourite Disney films. Im astounded by the quality of animation and storytelling. It’s up in the air whether or not it remains moral to make a sequel to Bambi, but I think it was worth it.

[@YesterworldEntertainment]

Hey all! I hope you enjoy the episode, and if I can just make one request...try to keep it civil in the comment section & be respectful to each others opinions. I tried to be as objective as possible while going through the Disney DTV Sequels, but I understand that many of you (including myself) grew up on quite a few of these. I also understand how hearing anything critical about something you loved as a kid, or even an adult, can incite a bit of a knee jerk response. Heck, I LOVED "The Master of Disguise" as a kid, and was shocked when I saw just how much critics tore it apart upon release. I STILL think "Hook" is a fantastic movie, despite being told time and time again how bad it is. So just keep in mind that the opinions expressed in this episode are simply that...opinions, which are subjective, and there's nothing wrong with taking a critical eye to the things we loved growing up, or even today. My objective wasn't to "hate" on these animated films or Disney, but to explore the history & criticism surrounding their production. And if you Love any of the movies I criticize, that is 100% ok, and no one (including myself) is trying to take that away from you. Unless you liked The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2...just kidding ;) Mark

[@nyanpirethecat2257]

Out of all the cancelled sequel, I been very curious about the cancelled Aristocats sequel. I remember Marie was becoming a very popular character at the time (starting in the early to mid 90s). So according to storyboard and information, she was going to be the film's main protagonist. Voice cast for the sequel: Tara Strong - Marie Cree Summer - Toulouse Nika Futterman - Berlioz Russi Taylor- Duchess Speaking of The Aristocats, Disney planned on creating an animated series called "The Aristocats: the animated series" where Marie, Toulouse, and Berlioz are now teenagers. Just like The Aristocats II, Marie was also going to be the main protagonist. Currently there are three pieces of concept art for "The Aristocats series" that exists online. The series was planned to air on Toon Disney sometime in 2003. Link to The Aristocats: The Series concept art imgur.com/a/3bOG7Zy

I remember like Master of Disguise a lot as a kid to! I think you nailed how all of the Disney direct-to-video sequels were seen as.

9:53 I'm just going to say "The little mermaid 3 Ariel's beginning" is simply beautiful and should be a video all its own. The animation is on par with 'Princess and the frog' and has songs I still remember! It was stuck in animation hell and was first teases on TLM special edition movie DVD as a trailer but was delayed 3 and a half years. Seriously the movie is worth a watch.

[@HydraSpectre1138]

Disney also often used a Filipino animation studio for these sequels. And Walt Disney Animation Japan was originally Pacific Animation Group before Disney bought them, and Pacific Animation Group was originally part of a bigger animation studio called Topcraft. Topcraft was hitting it big in the ‘80s with movies like Macross: Do You Remember Love?, The Last Unicorn and most especially Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, which was one of the highest grossing Japanese films of all time at the time. Because of this, the studio split in three with people deciding whether they want to make anime series geared towards otaku like Macross, making blockbuster arthouse anime films with Hayao Miyazaki (director of Nausicaä and would later direct My Neighbour Totoro) and Isao Takahata (producer of Nausicaä and would later direct Grave of the Fireflies), and then there were people who only want to do contract work for international animation. The first group would become GAINAX, the studio that made Neon Genesis Evangelion, Gurren Lagann, and Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. The second group became the legendary Studio Ghibli. And the third group became Pacific Animation Group, which would later become Walt Disney Animation Japan. So yes, the studio that made some of these cheapquels were related to Studio Ghibli. And there was a funny time when Studio Ghibli, GAINAX and Walt Disney Animation Japan released competing movies in 1997. WDAJ released Pooh’s Grand Adventure, GAINAX released EVANGELION: DEATH (TRUE)^2 and The End of Evangelion while Ghibli released Princess Mononoke. What’s even funnier is that Disney would later distribute and localise Studio Ghibli’s films.

When they tried making more gender neutral movies and cartoons it didn't make as much money. And was also not nearly as popular. Boys like my older brother didn't watch the Disney channel or see 'Atlantas' or 'Treasure Planet' because he thought he was too old and "cool" to he into it. Honestly finding Nemo changed everything. That was the first film my whole family sat down and watched together and loved. It was almost like Disney reset itself.

I'd personally really like to know the story behind that original version of the Tinker Bell movie - both what the actual story was and what happened with it behind the scenes to cause it's scrapping. Cause, like, way back in the day, before the first movie came out, I read a book with the branding that had a completely different cast of characters and version of Pixie Hollow than the movie series would have. There was also a toy line with the characters from it that I had a few of as well as those characters being who was in the end credit for the first movie. Anyway, that book stuck in my head better than the movie series (despite having read it once while I watched the first movie several times) and I've always been curious about what happened to it.

Ah yes, Saturday morning cartoons. Disney's One Saturday Morning/ABC Kids was the best. And I like you included Reuben in the thumbnail Reuben is my favorite Jumba experiment after Stitch

[@tbana2396]

Imagine a Stitch game: -Pokémon- Ham and Tuna.

[@reubenshupe2273]

I like Reuben too. For obvious reasons.

[@Gondarth]

Someone's probably said this by now, but Leroy and Stitch was a sequel to the Lilo and Stitch TV show, but not Lilo and Stitch 2. L&S2 was mostly a side story that has little to no impact on the series and was never brought up or referenced in the TV show or Leroy and Stitch. It was basically as relevant as Fox and the Hound 2 and the Beauty and the Beast sequels.

1:50 Mark Yesterworld’s Bizzarre Adventure: The Eisner Saga Part 6: Toon Disney

[@tomkerruish2982]

A fine example of the trope Colon Cancer.

[@cesarvictoriano8072]

Tom Kerruish True. But I wanted to exemplify both the DIOness Eisner has in the reach of his history with this era of Disney even after he was gone and a quick JoJo part reference.

[@thedevilgoose2482]

You know when a child watches a movie, loves it, and desires a sequel for that very reason, even if the movie they watch doesn't warrant one? They made that concept into DisneyToon Studios.

[@ctermaat]

Another great Yesterworld! Still holding out hope for a straight-to-video Black Cauldron 2.

[@skyd1207]

I worked at Disney Toon Studios on some of the Tinkerbell films. I enjoyed working there but I think its best to not make sequels. Its better to make something original.

[@Kari-fn6th]

Sky D I truly think the Tinkerbell movies are some of the best! I don't know what you did to help make the movies but thank you regardless!

[@ultimatedisneycruiselinefa5112]

You did a great job on those movies. The third one is definitely my favorite in my opinion.

[@otakubullfrog1665]

I'm surprised so many critics actually bothered to review the sequel films since announcing that a movie is going straight to video is basically admitting that it's a low production value affair that probably wouldn't make it at the box office.

[@Igorcastrochucre]

Then again with the rise of internet critics, the sequels are a goldmine of negative reviews that generate revenew.

[@stafonvoncamron]

Disney Plus is the new straight to video format for Disney.

[@rolandwalker327]

Bob Iger hired. “How can I repair our relationship with Steve?” Writes $7.4 bln check. “Done. Now who should I befriend tomorrow?” 😂

[@Revkor]

Geroge Lucas. as much as people hate Esnner I think Iger will go down in history as worse.

[@roycebracket]

Hearing the direct to vhs ads - particularly the Hunchback II one, set off a wave of nostalgia from such a deeply tucked away memory.

[@youprobablyforgotaboutthis7200]

Now that Michael Eisner is gone from the company I would really like to see that dark 7 dwarfs movie series

[@VioletNKisHere]

Pre-1990s NO SEQUELS 1990s-2000s Direct to Video Sequels with half the budget. 2010s-2020s- Why do sequels when we can shoot the thing in live action and call it a remake, even through the charm of them comes form animation. I think we lost the philosophy.

[@Candy-md1uk]

I watched all of the Tinkerbell movies last year and god they are very good! It made me sad to know the studio shut down and there probably won’t be any more of these films. You can really tell the teams working on them actually cared

[@deandremosley9190]

Yea same I love those moives thanks to Lassiter we won't get two more tinkerbell moives man I really wanna see them to Lassiter you sucked go back home you not good with disney.

[@ultimatedisneycruiselinefa5112]

Yeah, I loved the tinkerbell movies as well. Third one the most.

[@grasonoskar7998]

A similar case was the TV movie-pilot "Tangled before ever after" (2017), but it wasn't announced as an official sequel like "The return of Jafar".

[@ryanraymond9664]

A seven dwarves game from obsidion? "Truth is, the house was clean from the start."

[@tyjuarez]

in retrospect, i'd rather be stuck with disney direct-to-video sequels than disney live-action remakes.

[@johnboy4025]

Bambi II also took some of the plot from the story of the original author. And let’s face it, it was actually pretty dang good! Also, a Dwarf origin story!? That would have been awesome!

[@ashcashgamer5770]

Being someone who was born in the early 2000's, Disney made a lot of strange choices back then. I used to have a massive collection of vhs tapes and dvds mostly with Disney films and the home media content. My mom's cousin gave us that collection, and that's how I was introduced to Disney and the home media "films".

[@Attmay]

I'm surprised the *DuckTales* movie was not a moneymaker since that arguably aged better than the more profitable *Jetsons: The Movie* and laid the framework for *Aladdin* since it had a comedian as a genie first. I'm also disappointed we didn't get *Gummi Bears* or *Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers* movies.

[@embermoto]

For those who are interested scripts to some of these unmade moves mostly the Pixar ones, can be found online such as a Finding Nemo sequel where Nemo and his dad meet Remy who turns out to be another son of Marlin that had survived the barracuda attack but some how needed up on the other side of the ocean being raised by a different species of fish. Not mentioned in this video but there is also a script to a unmade Roger Rabbit prequel where Roger is raised by humans and after finding out he is a Toon goes in search of his parents. His dad is revealed to be a well known character.

[@AverageDonaldDuckFan]

I just want epic mickey 3. Or better yet a movie about Oswald and all the other forgotten toons

[@kieranstark7213]

Disney should lose a *TON* of the money it has in 2020 for missing out on making quality content like that in favour of live-action Disney remakes in the very near past (2010s) and as (or even more) near future (2020s).

[@walkerphillips2818]

D;)&, that’s true.

[@steamboatwill3.367]

an Oswald series is in development.

[@AverageDonaldDuckFan]

@@steamboatwill3.367 what is it called? I knew of the Oswald show, but it was cancelled

[@steamboatwill3.367]

@@AverageDonaldDuckFan ) it wasn't cancelled, they just changed the team.

[@FrankDufek]

Mom: "Who wants leftovers?" Disney: "Who wants MovieToons sequels?" Same energy

[@Dani-ff9hr]

*clicks on yesterworld's video* *hits like before even watching it because I know it's gonna be good*

[@hawktalon7890]

Haha, I do that too.

[@NinthShinigami]

Dude everyone does that

[@brentparker7359]

13:06 -- "Mulan II" strikes me as a TV pilot movie without a series to follow it. They set up all these conflicts that could have been left unresolved so a series could address them, (i.e., the "TaleSpin" pilot ends with Baloo losing the Sea Duck, the "Gargoyles" pilot ends with the heroes still living on the villain's property) but instead, they resolve them all in like one minute by having Mushu just command it.
