Now tell me you can’t watch this trailer without smiling. Pooh’s Heffalump Movie is coming to a cinema early next year.
See, this traditional animation looks fantastic, and Disney are great at it, they are the experts. You can just feel Disney all over it when you watch it, and it’s fun, and nothing to be ashamed of. So why are Disney off trying to be something they aren’t?
Well, if every company stayed doing what they were good at would there be any real expansion or growth? Would we have been unlucky enough not to have seen such films as Toy Story or Incredibles if not for Disney, or at the beginning of Pixar, a few people standing up and taking a chance, breaking into a new area.
Okay, so unless there are big changes it doesn’t look like Disney could radically change and make such a huge success leaving their traditions behind, but maybe. Maybe they could do it and become something better. Just get some new management!
Perhaps we shouldn’t be so hard on their attempts at branching out, and maybe support them (if it’s a good enough movie to go and see of course) and let them find their way.
Still, it is good to know that they are still remembering where they came from.
