Disney is a buy

Today I (32) saw the movie Elemental with my brother (35) two five year olds and a six year old. It was terrible. The first Disney movie I’ve seen in probably a decade that didn’t hold my interest and, more importantly, didn’t make me cry.

The kids, however, LOVED it. It sucked. Rushed plot line, lack of character depth, and seemingly lack of effort overall. But they still loved it. Which means we’ll be watching tons of times on our paid Disney+ app.

I constantly see negative comments and posts about Lucas films and marvel. Adults seem to be unenthusiastic about anything that Disney puts out currently regarding the two brands. BUT still keep tuning in.

I work in the school system and the obsession with marvel, specifically Spiderman, and Star Wars (almost alway baby yoda) is mind blowing. In a class of 20 kindergarten students, five or more will wear tshirts with these brands daily. With most who have yet to even seen the movies or series. And the product usage only gets more abundant with age. Backpacks, lunchboxes, water bottles, plushies, clothing… dominated with Disney brands.

The brand is a pilar in American families regardless of if they want it or not. My own children have never watched a film or show with Mickey or Minnie as a character but can can identify both. We made sensory bottles in class this week. One of the bottles was a nice color blue which immediately became the Elsa bottle (10 years after frozen release, four from second movie) My students weren’t even born for first movie and were babies for second and the obsession is still rampant.

And this is just retail. I know tons of families who are tight bholes about television use in household, but taking kids to Disney isn’t even questioned.

POINT BEING Disney negativity is from adult population which IMO is heavily outweighed by the youth, MADLY obsessed with Disney products and brands (which they have zero knowledge is owned and produced by)

Disney is not going to fail. Even when they fail us before our eyes, the youth loves the fuck out of everything they put out. And seems as if they outnumber us adults. I could say more about the company and such, but my intention is to share a view that isn’t based around adults and how they feel about the products.

And Omg oh yeah… BLUEY.
