#2 A spammer all over this land
And a sickle in visible hand:
A mouse on a mission!
His marketing vision?
To dictate supply and demand.

#3 All you have to do is make a film people want to see. Used to not be a problem.

Sadly, it looks like the Current Management would rather burn it to the ground and sow it with salt before admitting error.

#5 Uhem.
Live Action Make of How to Train Your Dragon (Dreamworks, Disney).

The kids who grew up on the trilogy* are not happy. The parents who raised those kids don't care. Those before and after the trilogy aren't interested. The story outline has it starring Astrid, and the casting so far sucks. Predict another girl boss story with heavy exploration of Gobber being gay.

*There was an animated short which was a total failure and blasted by the trilogy generation. They, get this, made it set in make believe real world today and had a diverse set of friends with modern issues and dragons were there every once in a while. The design and animation quality was dog shit too.

It'd be one thing if it was an error. But I'm afraid they're doing it on purpose.

#8 I recall the days where Pixar features would regularly mock Disney animation. Nothing personal I'm sure - just business.
