Disney Animation Struggles with 'Flop Era', Critics Suggest Return to Fairytales

Company's 2024 release calendar dominated by sequels, raising concerns about lack of original content.

Disney Animation has been struggling with box office blunders and a lack of original content, leading to what many are calling its 'Flop Era'.
Despite announcing several new sequels to successful films such as 'Inside Out' and 'The Lion King', there has been little to no development in the way of new and original material.
Disney aficionado @gavillain suggests that Disney has been trying too hard to reinvent the wheel, and should instead return to telling basic fairytales.
Disney's most successful films, such as 'Frozen II' and 'Moana', have been based on well-known stories and fairytales, adapted with Disney's classic touch.
Disney's release calendar for 2024 is stacked with sequels and follow-ups, leading to concerns that the company is losing its identity by relying on sequels instead of original content.
