Is Disney lost in our Culture?

Going next week, my 4 year old really wants to meet Minnie mouse, all her clothes have her on and she is the best thing in the world in her mind, so pretty much the best holiday in the world for her. I think it all depends what your kids are into.
 
We live in a very stimulated society, where everything is desperately trying to draw our attention. Back in the day, Disney made amazing movies, that are still amazing today. But these days there's so much high impact media (strong colours everywhere, big sounds, etc) that I don't think kids today will quite feel the magic of the cartoons that we saw when we were young. The fact that "Cars" (an abomination of animation) is so loved by some of your children here only exclamates my point.

This ^

Sure it still has an impact but it's lessened of late because of other media. The fact that we're all waiting on the next Pixer movie not the next Disney movie makes my point

What in your opinion is wrong with cars? Not a huge fan of cars 2 myself but my 2 year old adores them both.

I read an interview the other day where some celeb said he took his son to see cars 2 and went to apologise to his son at the end and his son said "that was awesome dad, can we watch it again" :D

I really like cars 1, even in 2 I love all the reflections and attention to detail.
 
Cars1 is probably at the bottom of the list of Pixar movies but it still better the a majorty of Deamworks crap (How to train your dragon is better through).
It's a grower for sure, it does get better with repeated viewings

But Cars2? One of the worst CGI cartoons ever to be created. Pixar really should hang there heads in shame
 
How many of you replying actually have kids?

My daughter LOVES Disney, especailly Mickey / Minnie Mouse.

Kinda made me ROFL - Look at all the disney TV channels, shops, merchandise etc - Do you really think it would still be going strong, with the stores being FULL of the "classic" charachters, if kids didn't love it.

I think you are just bringing in your OWN preceptions of it because you have grown up. It all changes again once you have a kid......

Only because it's over complicated for a young child I think. I find UP to be a far worse and dull watch. The 5 minute section showing their life together is excellent the rest is dull as it gets.

Exactly, just the same as kids today prefer the star wars prequels and think old ones are dull.
 
I went for a month when i was 6 to Florida, remember loving every day of it but i cannot remember anything i did.

Good job there is over a 1000 photo's what sort of recap my memory of some things. Lot of photos are where my mum has took pictures of fat people because of how fat they are.... lol

The mother said it cost her back then around £5-6k. Bugger nose how much it would cost now for that.

My mrs was on about taking little one who is 6. Im not to fussed on the idea though as kids these days dont even know they are born, I don't think they would appreciate it like we did when we was younger. Therefore Spain with childrens entertainment will do.

If we come into a lot of money, maybe....
 
I really hated Disney stuff as a kid. No idea why. Now I have a wee nipper some of it is truly great. Some. I don't like how their DVDs are packed full of trailers and price fixed.

This is why I bought DVDFAB so annoying when your kid asks to watch a film and you have to sit there trying to skip 45 mins of adds to get to the film.

DVDFAB does away with all that.... straight to movie on load.

I don't have to sit anymore through the THANK YOU for buying this DVD nor through the piracy is wrong MMMMkay"infommercials"

Going to disney on 31st March and can't wait..... nearly 40 btw ;-)
 
Pixar >than all of those.

I prefer Dreamworks to Pixar.

Above all though, I prefer 2D/traditional Disney. Was never really a fan as a kid, but at 16 and into adulthood, I latched onto Aladdin, Jungle Book, Fantasia, Lilo & Stitch and so on.

Disney still seems to be a big thing to kids nowadays. They keep plugging along their princesses and fairies franchises, and they recently rebooted Winnie the Pooh. Think they're rebooting the Muppets this year.
 
Lion King is hugely overrated, it's actually rather dull! Aladdin is where it's at. I also think The Emperors New Groove is the funniest thing they ever produced
 
M. I. CKEY. M. O. U. S. E.

It's the mickey mouse clubhouse fun for you and me..........................

God I hate that program.............. kids love it
