Tangled (Repunzel), Moana (uses and remixes actual Polynesian myths), Frozen (based on the snow queen), Peter Pan, Little Mermaid - a stack of recent Disney movies have been based on existing IP. You just don't notice because they culturally steamroll the originals.
The most recent movie Wish - is just callbacks to other Disney movies, so does it count as original IP?
And this excludes their reboots - but also excludes Pixar which has done some original albeit lacklustre stuff recently.
- selimthegrim 3y agoAs far as Frozen goes, at least they got something new to replace the Norway exhibit at Epcot, because it got so old and stale, that Norway disowned it, and refused to pay for the renewal
- bombcar 3y agoFrozen is just Norwegian propaganda and you’ll not convince me otherwise. I wonder if anyone has worked out the actual dollar effect it is has had on Norwegian tourism.
- giancarlostoro 3y agoI was a little upset, I had no idea it had anything there till after they replaced it, after years of going there... Edit: Apparently the pavillion was only partially funded by the Norwegian government. Your comment made me curious. https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2021/08/13/who-actually-owns-the-world-showcase-pavilions-in-epcot/ https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2021/08/13/who-actually-owns-...
- mynameisvlad 3y agoPeter Pan is a 70-year old movie. Little Mermaid is 25 years old. There have also been many, many original movies released in that time: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Walt_Disney_Pictures_films https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Walt_Disney_Pictures... The vast majority of recent Disney content is original.
- thaumasiotes 3y ago> Little Mermaid is 25 years old. You're thinking of Mulan, not The Little Mermaid.
- mynameisvlad 3y agoOh god I misread 89 as 99. Even I didn’t realize it was that old.
