Recent disney and pixar movies have felt like movies in the way that monster high movies feel like movies. And I don’t want anyone to see this and go “but at least monster high movies are good!” cuz, sure whatever I don’t care, just listen. What I’m saying is these recent disney movies are so forgettable and I don’t think it’s just because of the rise of streaming services fucking up how the films are marketed and viewed, they also feel unbelievably pointless. They feel like movies made around a plot that would be forced into a ten minute episode if it were a cartoon made by smaller creators rn. The plots are so simple I feel like a toddler like I feel like the stakes have gotten increasingly lower and everything is underwhelming. Toy story 4’s big conflict was woody needs to get the plastic spoon back to the little girl. Inside out 2 was the emotions needing to get back to headquarters while riley is just at hockey camp and they learn their lessons in five minutes. Encanto is just mirabelle talking to her family and then singing songs at her. Strange world was a very basic father/son relationship story with no real stakes. The main thing luca wants in luca is a vespa and the main thing mei wants in turning red is concert tickets. Not even gonna glance at wish or lightyear cuz like who watched those what are those movies even for. I can’t remember any of these movies and even the ones I liked are still underwhelming and I walked out of them trying to justify that to myself like “oh well not every movie has to have a crazy plot, sometimes they can be simple”. But it’s like. All their movies now. And the characters are uh, they’re okay in some of them I guess I dunno. And this isn’t even to say that the more beloved older disney movies never had simple plots cuz like look at Cinderella, half of that movie is just animals getting into shenanigans to fill time. But idk, it felt like people actually wanted to make that movie and put love and attention into it. Now these things are just disney pumping out vague emotions that might get them an award while coating everything with this “look at how much money we have” polish

#the klock keeps ticking #this isnt coherent at all im sooooo tired i havent slept good at all lately ughhh #i used monster high as an example but havent really made the comparison properly huh #basically mh movies are really just there to sell dolls and yeah sometimes the movies are fun #sometimes theyre about something cool even #but theyre also low quality made for tv movies that got pumped out a machine #and some of them are just really really bad #and even the ones that i like like friday night lights i mean its like core message is a pretty basic short thing about misogyny in sports #which is what youd expect from a low quality made for tv movie made to sell dolls #but disney is out here doing like the same writing in 2024 with their ungodly expensive animation #and its just like. seriously? this is seriously what you want?#to make shallow garbage with shiny paint a few times a year just so you can get more money and keep it up?#youre trash disney. utter fucking trash #this is brought to you by me watching inside out 2 for shits and feeling pretty much exactly how i expected to feel lol #i love how not gay riley is obsessed with a girl who is literally the Basic Cool Gay Love Interest #which is a whole other post honesty but its a drinking game for me at this point cuz thats the only gay character corporations know how to #write its just like. they are Cool and Nice and so so Cool and they literally never stop smiling for one second and they are Cool #and thats about it! and if you dont ship them with the quirky anxiety ridden gay youre an ungrateful faggot
