(October 27, 2011) — Disney, over the past few years you’ve been making some pretty uncreative, conventional business choices. Strike one: creating juvenile pop stars for children to have their ears wired to became extremely popular — the Jonas Brothers, for example, making thirteen-year-old girls squeal and swoon . That’s definitely one of them. Taking out loads of cartoons on the different Disney Channels, such as Kim Possible , and replacing them with shallow tween sitcoms Wizards of Waverly Place and Shake It Up sure did portray “the magic” of the company’s history and soul. Strike two. To some extent, those were tolerable — at least That’s So Raven and Even Stevens had some character to them. But with the lack of imagination with television shows, did that aspect really have to carry over to your films too? Honestly, Disney, what’s the actual point in creating 3-D versions of your classics? The fact that The Lion King is the most popular cartoon movie created by your establishment should make it almost untouchable. But then that’s the thing when it comes to the best-of-the-best: top dogs truly do have a thing for taking the finest of their pack and trying to make them better. And there goes strike three — Disney, you’re out. It is as though this new release in theaters for The Lion King just came out of the blue. There are 10, 15, 25-year anniversaries for movies, but this was made in 1994 and was just randomly re-released late this summer. Disney’s obvious reason can’t help but make me shake my head a little bit; what other actual purpose is there than to just make countless dollars with barely any effort in the 3-D version? It’s as though the heads of the department are thinking, “We’re not coming up with any good ideas here… why not just make the old ones into 3-D? Perfect!” Nice capitalism there, Disney. The short-term cinema showing did not disappoint with pulling in people — and their wallets — of all ages to enjoy the fad of third dimension animation. And, of course, The Walt Disney Company is now planning on taking other animated classics like Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid and re-releasing those in theaters with the same visual effects. Why not just actually create new movies with fresh plots and ideas? At the same time, I have to at least give a small applause with respect to Disney for paying homage to The Lion King by making it a 3-D short-term box office special . There could have been a poor decision: say, if Lilo & Stitch had been re-released into theaters in 3-D instead, rather than any other animated feature film by Disney and Pixar.
