Take a look at the picture below. If that’s not a sign of desire to take over the world, I don’t know what that is.
There’s a lot of exciting stuff in there, with Star Wars on top1, closely followed by Doctor Strange and Toy Story 4 (OMG Toy Story 4!!!!).
I’m not entirely sure about a new The Jungle Book or The Beauty and the Beast. They are both great and beloved movies and they both represent stepping stones in the early Disney’ success. I’m also aware of the fact that new generations may not be aware of those two movies and so Disney has definitely enough freedom to rethink those stories, still I hold the original very close and dear to me.
Couldn’t really care about Guardians of the Galaxy or another (yes another) Pirate of the Caribbean, but hey it cannot be all good along the way.
The lesson to learn here is that Disney is showing the result of an amazing vision. Everyone was kind of surprised when they bought Marvel first and Lucas Films later.
Now you can see why, can’t you?
- Only the new trilogy gets the exciting treatment. Still not sure how to feel about Rogue One. More on that later. ↩
