I guess this indirectly explains why all top music sounds the same, as well as any media format for that matter.
This is like congratulating a stupid person for saying something smart. Yes, it's surprising, but they're still an idiot.
This also explains why I completely lost all interest in their movies. It's all too safe, familiar and simply gets boring over the years.
[QUOTE=AntonioR;52569839]This also explains why I completely lost all interest in their movies. It's all too safe, familiar and simply gets boring over the years.[/QUOTE] Disney has always been safe. You're acting like this is some new thing but they've always made extremely safe and familiar movies, they just have a knack for doing them well a lot of the time. Pretty much any production company that makes movies over 100 mil is going to be extremely cautious with what it makes. You need to look to smaller budget movies for more interesting and out there work.
Safe and familiar is a viable demographic to target. No reason that every film released by every producer has to be experimental with its content, it's acceptable to have a company release dependable albeit derivative work for its audience, especially when that target audience, small children, is not likely to have seen the previous work that the film is derived from. Even if we assume Moana is literally a retelling of an older Disney movie, or a combination of older Disney movies, like Pocahontas, Hercules, etc., it's not exactly a guarantee that target demographic children going to see Moana will have ever been exposed to Pocahontas, Hercules, etc., especially since they're not very merchandised anymore compared to Frozen and the original Disney princesses. While Disney's animated features are relatively stale and comfortable, I'm far more upset at the stagnation of Disney's Marvel properties, to which they've applied a similar formula. Unfortunately, in the case of Marvel films, the target audience is much older and the stories are connect, so franchise fatigue is more significant. The audience will obviously remember these plot lines are motifs, and because these films are all very connected, the repetition is far more obvious than throwbacks between Moana and Pocahontas, which don't exist in the same "cinematic universe."

Where are the Aliens, Terminators, Robocops, Starship Troopers, Total Recalls, Independence Days, Basic Instincts, Die Hards of today ? Those were all brand new IPs(except ST) by big companies, some of them had big budgets for the time and were high risk titles. Today if it isn't already an established IP companies wont even think about making a movie, instead they do a reboot of a 30 year old film.
