Disney announces Zoopotia 2, Frozen 3, and Toy Story 5 (with Tim Allen back)

[Rabulias]

Not like every toy is unique or every character is a one-off. What happens when two toy versions of the same character meet? Or just two of the same toy?

Not sure if you're alluding to this, but this was part of Toy Story 2.

Or -- and this would freak a lot of people out -- do a time jump and have Elsa be a mythical figure, the long-lost Snow Queen (which is where all of this began originally with Disney) and have young heroes redeem her, after a heartbroken Elsa has fallen into darkness. (What would Elsa do if something happened to Anna? It probably wouldn't be great.)

I presume this would involve a cursed mirror that visually shows the worst parts of your inner self and said mirror getting shattered when demons try to fly the mirror to Heaven and make God look in the mirror.

Uh, almost every kid in America loves Encanto.

Looks at ID, 50+. Looks at wife, also over 50....
Yah "kids" love Encanto.
It is just a wonderful movie. I am sure they are out there but I haven't met anyone regardless of age who has seen it and disliked it.
(I understand you were not bagging on the movie, just sharing my experiences.)

As far as Zootopia, I swear I could watch an entire movie set in the BMV, lol

love how there's no link to an article Disney Announces New ‘Toy Story’ and ‘Frozen’ Sequels on the Way, ‘Avatar’ Experience Coming to Disneyland

EDIT: My friends all seem to like that the stories are going from princess fairy tales to dealing with different kind of actual life experiences/issues like trauma etc

Honestly, they need to bring in some DMs to help them with their world building. They've got interesting stuff with elementals,

I felt the elementals in Frozen 2 where already very D&D-ish. If anything, too much so. That movie felt like someone wrote a D&D module based on the first movie.

Raises hand.

The singing, it grated.

The singing, it grated.

Hey. We don't talk smack about Bruno.

Hey. We don't talk smack about Bruno.

I finally watched that this past week and I love it

Frozen 2 was weird. They clearly had big epic ambitions, and then had all of it take place in one small forest glade and a single cave.

It is hilarious that Disney refused to acknowledge all of the discussions about Elsa being LGBT and then lit up the caverns in Frozen 2 with bisexual lighting coding and had her singing about the voice inside her urging her toward forbidden-to-society desires. (That said, she doesn't need to be gay or bi for Frozen to have tried to reject the idea that little girls should spend all their time thinking about being wives.)

Honestly, they need to bring in some DMs to help them with their world building. They've got interesting stuff with elementals, a gorgeous faux-Nordic/Sami setting, some information about other realms across the sea. Good D&D campaigns have been built with a lot less.

I think they could do more with Anna.

Or -- and this would freak a lot of people out -- do a time jump and have Elsa be a mythical figure, the long-lost Snow Queen (which is where all of this began originally with Disney) and have young heroes redeem her, after a heartbroken Elsa has fallen into darkness. (What would Elsa do if something happened to Anna? It probably wouldn't be great.)

I've never seen Frozen, but I'm curious.
