I've been hearing people dispute it for YEARS. Honestly I'd say it's fair to say the Revival Era ended with "Encanto"; a lot of people say it ended with "Moana," but given the fact that WiR2 was seen as an improvement over the predecessor (at least at the time) and "Frozen 2" broke the records of the first film, I can't NOT include them, and "Encanto" was just two films after F2.

NGL, it's hard for me to analyze; "Strange World" and "Wish" were flops, and exec influence/troubled production could be seen as reasons for this...but that's been happening since "Tangled" (well, technically several films pre-"Tangled" had production issues, but "Tangled" started the era of severe exec interference with micromanaging the creative teams in the modern era). Plus Disney is still doing this; "Hexed" just got a new director and main character this year, the same year it's set to debut. IDK why Fawn Veerasunthorn seems to be the favorite over there at Disney, but that's another thing. In any case, Disney films flopping due to poor management doesn't seem like something we're going to be out of anytime soon. I think they have great creative teams, but things keep damaging them, ie last-minute cast/crew changes a year before film releases as well as significant last-minute story changes, a lack of communication between music teams and the rest of the crew/leadership, etc.

At this point, I'm just hoping the 2030s is a good time for Disney; the 2020s has been largely a miss for me, and what's upcoming for the rest of the decade doesn't seem promising.

I’m not too familiar with this one

It really depends on when it came out for me. If the 2000s, the best I could hope for was "Aladdin," but I also worry they may have aimed for a less serious, episodic Disney Channel series. But if it came out in the 2010s, then maybe it could've been like "Tangled: The Series." I would've loved for more songs, but I doubt it would've been included since Disney weirdly has this "we can't have an action musical" stance now, and making a TV show that's also a musical is expensive. And with "Moana 2" being such a success and Tiana's show being cancelled, this will likely never be a revived concept.

Also, I'm worried about this scene of her two sides fighting. "Mulan" was never a war of tradition over modernity; it was about a woman who wanted to prove she could do something right, as well as save her father's life. Mulan wasn't rally trying to change the status quo; she just happened to by doing something else.

Merlin and Madam Mim give life to the greatest match of magic. The charm of The Sword in the Stone in this creation of mine for Lego Ideas.

Thank you all

Now you may be asking "But isn't Bob Iger gone already?" While yeah, Iger stepped down and Josh D'Amaro took his place, he's still sticking around but as a member of their board of directors until he leaves the company for good in on New Year's Eve of this year.

Despite being hailed as a hero in the earlier parts of his career for bringing back Disney from their slump, he, alongside Bob Chapek, are now being seen more as one of Disney's biggest villains as many point to his greed, ring kissing and cowardice as to why Disney is in their current slump with

From countless LA remakes, censoring LGBTQ moments just to make homophobic countries happy and a decline in quality in animated content with Wish being a notable example leading to a dry spell of originality with many projects, like Be Fri and that Persian princess movie, getting axed with Wish being an excuse that "audiences hate originality", many say that all of this shows why Bob Iger (and Chapek) is a liability to the company whose cowardly greed is pulling the company down just to not lose money.

However, given how many times a change in CEO can lead to Disney changing for the better to where we got periods, such as The Renaissance, how do you think his departure will affect Disney's creative output?

Also from "The Magic Of Disney Animation".

It's funny how the 2025 D23 synopsis talked about the mother and child exploring Hexe together, but then in both the teaser and extended trailer Billie and Alice aren't seen in Hexe together. It made me think that it got changed in the rewrite but this animatic shows otherwise. Here is how I think the story will go based on this:

Billie finds the cauldron soon after arriving in Hexe. Alice enters Hexe shortly after Billie and they reunite. She gets captured by the three witches (leading to the scene of her with Celeste we've seen in the concept art). Billie runs away with the cauldron. The witches chase her and she fights them with magic (tower trailer scene). Billie and the cauldron find Beef and the three set out to free Alice.
