“These are all going to be good, so why do you care?” Yeah, maybe, but the idea of a single company having an increasingly large influence over unquestionably shaping what popular culture is should bother everyone, whether we like their product or not.

Take it from your old pal Jiminy Cricket, “you can love a product, without defending everything it’s parent company does. You can love a brand with all your heart, but that brand won’t love you back.”

Yes, they're too ashamed to admit the REAL best movies of the year are going to be the Aladdin remake or the Dumbo remake! They ASSUME the only animated-to-live-action-remake coming out next year that people could be looking forward to is Lion King.
-
I forgot we were getting three of those in a year...
-
Four, The Lady and the Tramp is getting a live action remake on Disney+.
-
This is too much.
-
Any of them is too much, but most especially since Disney is swimming in cash. If they were going out of business, I could understand if not condone these live-action remakes, but they have ceased to be a film studio & are now just brand management, like Ghibli will be one day.

I thought mulan come out this yr too
-
That's scheduled for 2020

not to take anything away from your point - because I agree with you - but... why are Toy Story, Frozen, and Lion King even on this list? am I that out of touch? surely there are 3 more anticipated movies, Disney or no. not a good look for IGN.
-
I wouldn’t underestimate how huge Frozen is.
-
I still see kids excited about Frozen AND see people cosplaying characters at cons. It was a huge movie & I'm sure no matter what kind of reviews the sequel gets, its gonna bring people back to the theaters.
-
Hell, I’m a grown-ass man who’s still excited about Frozen. The Broadway musical just opened this past year, too—which meant a bunch of TV appearances. (Not to mention there was that 20-minute short they had to pull from Coco because parents didn’t sign up for 20 mins of Olaf...)
-
Wait, they pulled the short from Coco eventually? That's kind of hilarious that parents would have complained that they had to watch more Frozen content.
-
I think it was because it was pretty long for a short? (Like wasn't it 30 mins??) So people complained because they wanted to see Coco, not Frozen XD I thought it was kinda silly too.
-
Clearly the solution is Frozen meets Coco. Disney Cinematic Universe.
-
I mean, they're already halfway there with Ralph Breaks the Internet.

They got 26% of the domestic market in 2018. Not a monopoly
-
And it flips sometimes. In 2015, Universal (Comcast) had the biggest year in history, to that point. In 2014, Fox was first and Universal was fifth. In 2013 it was WB. Disney is on a hot run thanks primarily to two pieces of IP. Calling this a monopoly is absurd.
-
Plus, what are the barriers to entry in the movie market? Anyone can make movies, and anyone can choose what to watch. The great crime here is... one company makes lots of movies people like? 90% of people who complain of monopolies have no idea what a monopoly is.
