the fact that disney is more determined to give us "amazing" visuals rather than good stories and songs anymore is insulting

like they act like they cant have it all. youre the biggest studio ever, you own more companies than anything ever should, you have more money than i can even concieve of.

YOU ARE FULLY CAPABLE OF GIVING US MOVIES THAT ARE AMAZING IN EVERY ASPECT. SO FUCKING SHOW IT

#my post #i watched a video the other day about what mightve been the cause of disneys failure at making musicals in the last decade or so #and it started with. of all movies. tangled! and im still stuck on that #like it was specifically about the 'i see the light' scene when theyre on the water surrounded by the lanterns #the song writers were made to write like 40 songs they had to scrap UNTIL they were finally told the issue #that the team wanted the visuals to come first and for the song to come second. which meant they wanted the song TONED DOWN??#THEY COULD BOTH BE EQUALLY AMAZING HELLO??#it hurts me deeply inside to know. with how much i love that song. THAT THERE COULDVE BEEN AN EVEN BETTER ONE?#and then disney in general is just completely fumbling their songwriters which is why the songs suck #songwriters not given the ability to have a say in the story despite being part of telling the story? being scared to say anything-#-when the whole reason theyre there is to contribute! being told that they arent supposed to add anything new. only execute the plans made!#i have to imagine the storywriters are also being fucked over but the video was specifically about songwriters #my favorite moment in any movie EVER is a moment where the visuals AND the song come together EQUALLY to make the most beautiful moment ever #when moana and te ka are meeting in the middle of the parted sea. the way you can FEEL its the culmination of the movie #the way that te ka is frantically crawling toward and screaming at moana. the way that moana is calmly and confidently walking toward te ka #moana singing this peaceful beautiful song despite the danger. because she knows the truth. she sees te fiti beneath her unwilling disguise #the way that te ka hears her words and reacts by matching that calmness and letting her get close #and everything that that moment is meant to represent and *can* represent even if unintended #its just. its my favorite moment ok. AND IT WOULDNT WORK IF THE SONG WAS TONED DOWN FUCK YOU #i have crossed the horizon to find you. i know your name. and they have stolen the heart from inside you. but this does not define you.#this is not you who are. you know who you are. who you truly are <3 #INSERT MEME IMAGE OF GUY CRYING WITH EARBUDS IN #disney #disney criticism #I LITERALLY LOVE DISNEY MOVIES OK THIS IS NOT A HATE POST ABOUT THE MOVIES ITS A HATE POST ABOUT THE COMPANY #btw the video i watched. i recommend! its 'the downfall of the disney movie musical' by calxiyn cares too much on youtube!#disney critical #this especially isnt a tangled hate post btw i adore that movie and i was so sad that it was likely the start of all of this
