I do in fact specifically have a problem with Ariel being black actually. Additionally all of those live action versions are absolute shit. Fuck Burton Alice in Wonderland specifically.
There's such a goldmine for animated shows generally that Hollywood and Disney is ignoring in terms of content. I don't understand why they don't do more cartoon work and 3D animation rather than less. My working theories on this are that they want to keep inserting famous actors into everything for the sake of branding or they don't want to pay the amount of money it would take to hire skilled people to do the work to a decent standard.
The fired all the 2D animators in 2011 I think. Only one is left. He is the only person allowed to design or color anything for animated characters at theme parks or posters.
Worse even. Disney SOLD all their equipment. The stuff magic was drawn on got sold. They not only would need to train up a new division but also buy new equipment, too.
The "do good shit to earn money while inserting subliminal propaganda when possible" phase is over. Now it's "indoctrinate as many people as possible even if it's losing money" phase.
Burton obviously has a visual talent. But doesn't want to do his own stories. It's kind of a shame because it ends up with him basically ruining animated stuff vs enhancing whatever original story he could get the rights to.

Woah, did they really?
Oh, that explains so much.
I thought they were still pumping out like, mickey n friends morning cartoons or something. But it's all sold? Talk about eating your seed corn.
There's no one left at Disney who knows how to do cartoons.

Couldn't agree more. Those fucking movies are an abomination. So is black Jimminy Cricket there with the red hair.
