Franchises and sequels dominated the 2024 box office. The only movie in the top 15 not based on an existing film was "Wicked," which was based on a Broadway musical.
People shit on the lack of original movies, then a studio like Disney releases a bunch of new original movies and nobody watches them. Just about every original film released by big studios bombs, then people wonder why they don’t do em.
They don’t do them because they do poorly, and they do poorly because they suck at doing original (the majority of all Disney films aren’t original all the way back to snow white)
Could’ve sworn “Inside Out” was original and a huge hit. But then Disney will beat that dead horse with multiple sequels and direct to video releases and spin offs like they do with anything that is successful.
And it still isn’t very good. Family is important yay here’s some music. All painted on a brilliant background tapestry of “it’s cool to not be special” and “Latinos are magical”.
If we are just cycling through cultures not represented in Disney yet and I ended up getting an encanto equivalent I’d be honestly pretty let down.

Disney released a new and original movie?
When? Back in 2000?

Inside Out that was released in 2015? I guess the clock is right once a decade.
Encanto was like 2/3 years ago at best

Yes, if the movies suck then it’s still a problem. We want good original movies, not shitty ones.
