Random Thread & The Philosopher's Stone

If I correctly understood your subject, then I agree.

This is what I wrote:

A lot of Disney Channel shows these days have little to no relatability. Sure, a lot of girls want to be a pop sensation, but how many can say they are? Or an average Midwestern girl who moved to Hollywood for a starring role in a hit TV show?

I think that Disney started to decline when they stopped showing us television characters that we could relate to. Think about it, kids today [generally speaking] are a lot more pretentious and self-centered, expecting fame and fortune to be handed to them like it was handed to these characters. I can relate to Lizzie McGuire, a normal girl who tries to do the right thing. You even got a hint of the character change in the LM movie.

Also, when Shrek was released, it seemed like Disney had to compete with a company that not only mocked them, but thrived on what was essentially the same Disney formula plot. The difference: Classic Disney fairytales were well-executed, had heart, and fun songs. But now, Disney had to compete with the addition of cheap toilet jokes and fractured fairytales.
Think about it, the last "real" fairytale Disney gave us before Princess and the Frog was Beauty and the Beast. I think that the Walt Disney Company began to sit on the enormous success that Pixar was gaining, I mean really, look at the films they put out during that time. And critics call P&tF "the greatest Disney movie since 'The Lion King.'" LK was released in '94, a year before Toy Story took over.
I also think that TS had a hand in bringing down traditional Disney movies. It was new, flashy, three-dimensional. While many like the films that were put out after Pixar made its huge debut, do you really think people were impressed? I'm sure they were, but they had all seen the future of animation. And it wasn't the classic Disney method we loved.
But I digress. I'm pretty sure I just spoke in circles. Make of it what you want, those were just the thought processes I had while contemplating this.
And I also think the Disney-owned TV channels have lost respect for what got them there in the first place. When was the last time a classic Disney film was shown on prime time? Or when you didn't have to wake up at 4 A.M. to watch the Little Mermaid cartoon?Pt. 2 of this later.

Yeah, I think that was my stronger point.

But I also don't feel newer 2D releases are up to par with the classics.

Eh, maybe I'm just a jaded teenager bitter about growing up.
