What I understand about art is that there are certain levels to it ranging from very simple to extremely complex. Disney used to exemplify the latter, forgoing the easy simple stuff for incredible levels of excellence that would stand above all other forms in their field. This began with animation, but then extended to live action, and then every other aspect of disney's empire as it grew over time. Even their worst projects were lightyears ahead of the competition. If it was disney it was guaranteed to be worth your time.
Not anymore. Disney's become a whore like, honestly, like a lot of former disney-girls who have sold their bodies after their contract with disney expired. Now of course i know that girls do that anyway, that's nature, but the analogy still works. Look at Lohan. I love her, she's gorgeous, I'd marry that girl because there's good person in there, I tell you, but she's definitely turned to the dark side of late sullying her once clean disney rep. Same with that cyrus chick. well my point is that Disney's lost its way, becoming nothing but a hollowed out shell of its former self.
I say this now because I'm watching old disney movies for fun and they're unbelievable. You can see how utterly bored with regular cartoons disney was, so he made things interesting, created musicals more than films, simply letting the visuals be a companion to the music, which is the best way to go. There's no illusion about when and where a cut was made as every movie features cut after cut after cut, you're really watching a bunch of clips, but when they sync with the music, it feels right.
But hey ho, who cares about that now. Money money money, that's all that matters. Is it the lack of religion at the heart of this lowering of standards, I wonder? Let's face facts, disney has always catered to the fundamentalist mindset of sugary sweetness and flowers. Still disney himself said that he didn't just make movies for any one group, but for everyone, and didn't sugar coat the cruel world in them, and of course didn't water-down his genius either, going all-out with the artistic brilliance when he felt like it... such a shame things have changed so much... :(
Thanks god for pixar, keeping the original disney spirit alive. Hopefully, their films will embarrass disney so much that they get their act together and start shooting for the stars again. And I hope personally that Lohan remembers who she was when she made parent trap and stop acting like a slutty ho. there must be a sadness in girls who abandon all the dignity they once had. Like, I know porn stars think they're making a statement on feminine freedoms or whatever by taking a dick in their ass, but really all they're doing is giving up on trying to be classy and dignified, much like disney has.
