News Round Up 2019

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

No. Looks to me like they will win a lot of weekends at the box office! They have something for everyone and almost every month. (Jan & Feb are the worst movie months of the year.)

That's true they have something for everyone but unfortunately if you're the type of person who wants to see a lot of that you may find yourself having to pick and choose not only for a financial reason but also for an availability reason. In that respect I totally get what she's talking about. It is a lot in a short time frame when you consider it all. Not to mention Disney isn't the only company out there so now you've got a person who may want to see movies outside of Disney which could be further limiting.

Disney's movie release schedule for this year is insane.

March 8: Captain Marvel (Marvel)
March 29: Dumbo (Disney Live Action)
April 17: Penguins (DisneyNature)
April 26: Avengers End Game (Marvel)
May 24: Aladdin (Disney Live Action)
June 21: Toy Story 4 (Pixar)
July 5: Spiderman Far From Home (Marvel)
July 19: The Lion King (Disney Live Action)
August 9: Artemis Fowl (Disney Live Action)
November 22: Frozen 2 (Disney Animation)
December 20: Star Wars Episode 9 (Lucasfilm)

Is this even a smart idea? Aren't they just cannibalizing their own box office at this point? Haven't they ever heard about holding anything back?

That is all.

And I want to see 2 of these. Maybe 3. Meh.

What??? There's at least 7 movies I'd kill someone to see right now.

Toy Story 4, Star Wars (mostly because I HAVE to as a lifelong SW fan), and maybe Frozen 2 -- though my kids are at the age where they say they're "too old" for that one.

The live action versions of animated films?? NOPE. Particularly with Will Smith as the genie?! Ugh. And I could not possibly care less about anything Marvel -- same with DH and the kids.

To each his/her own! I'm always glad when anything Disney does well... more $$$ is a good thing. But I am really not interested in most of what they are doing in film.

 

[Farro]

Yeah.

I enjoy the live action and I'll happily watch them...but where is the new Tangled or Moana? No more princess type movies? (Frozen 2 doesn't count, it's a sequel)

 

[wareagle57]

In 80ish years, there have only been about 15 "princess" movies or so. But I agree. Even though I'll see all but 2 or 3 of these most likely, I really want an original Pixar or Disney film.

 

[mom2rtk]

Disney is embarrassed by their princess past. The mere fact that some actresses with Disney ties recently made disparaging comments about some of the older movies confirmed that for me.

I believe a new princess film is slated for 2020 or 2021. We also have the Mulan live action in 2020.

I like the lineup as our family will want to see about half of them.

We’re already looking forward to Mulan in 2020 so are glad that they’re not delaying any of these.

I am similar - or at least only I few I am willing to jump through the hoops and cost it takes to see a film in the theater - others I might see on Blu-ray

We do already have our tickets for Captain Marvel though as my wife is psyched for that one. I also suspect I will see Avengers and Episode IX and probably take the kids to Frozen 2

I don’t care about any of the live action remakes

We’re already looking forward to Milan in 2020 so are glad that they’re not delaying any of these.

That’s exciting you are going to Italy next year!


(He said jokingly as someone who also has had “Mulan” autocorrected to “Milan”)

I’m the opposite. I’ll probably see most if not all. Artemis Fowl is a big question mark for me. I’m very excited to see Dumbo. Lion King I will still see because I love that film but I’m not thrilled with so much of it being the same.

That’s a good question, and I want to say no? I feel like nothing is squeezed next to each other, at least where they have the same demographics, ie not putting Captain Marvel right next to the Avengers. One Q is whether the Dumbo/Aladdin/LK crowd decides to pass on other movies bc it’s too much.

And as far as those movies go, i’m curious if there will be any burnout with the live remakes.

 

[SG131]

I’m with you there are 3 I want to see, I will probably see the 4th cause Avengers comes out a week before my Disney Cruise so if it’s on the ship for free I will go. None of the live actions really excite me.

I'm so not trying to start the next installment of the reusable bag debate but I did want to highlight this aspect of the article: "Otherwise, plastic bags are still being offered to all guests, for now at least." Which is good to know considering the way the previous article was worded and of course we can infer the future they may not be given out at all but at least it's not a hard removal of plastic bags at the moment.

**Ok back on topic **
