Disney is banking on a password crackdown and spate of sequels as it pushes to make its streaming business profitable.

The company, which is under pressure as audiences move away from traditional pay-TV and cinema, said it was on track to meet its goals after new subscribers and price rises helped to narrow losses in its streaming business.

    How many of those were actually good, though?

    Genuinely asking, I only saw 3 out of the 5 and don’t remember being blown away by any of them. I’m not sure I even remember the plot of some.

    But I can still immediately recall songs from both Encanto and Moana and I haven’t seen either of those in years.

      This guy’s full of it claiming that the only complainers are people who don’t watch the movies. I’ve seen all these movies as I have a kid and a lot of them are “meh”. Frozen was an original property and it blew up big. Same with Moana, Inside Out, Encanto, Big Hero 6, Wreck it Ralph, Brave, etc.

      Furthermore they’re ignoring the rest of the Disney catalog and rehashed sequels outside of animated films “of the last 5 years.” What about all the terrible live-action remakes? What about all the Star Wars and Marvel sequels? Those have all done terrible as well.

      I would personally say all of the movies mentioned range from good to amazing. I think all of them would be worth seeing in theaters (not that they’re all must-see movies though).
