Thank you, Disney for making so many good Captain America films and lots of Duck Tales! Thank you for the SNES Aladdin game (NOT THE MEGA DRIVE ONE IT IS VERY POOR.) and thank you for Recess. Thank you Disney for making Mulan too.

Thank you, Disney, for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977), my son's favourite film. Thank you specifically for the bit where he gets his head stuck in a tree with all honey in, my son's favourite bit.

Thank you, Disney, for revitalizing the moribund Star Wars franchise.

Thank you Disney for those clip shows where there was always one from The Jungle Book, one from 101 Dalmatians and one from Herbie, hosted by a kid-friendly star of the day, which always marked the beginning of the end of a Bank Holiday weekend.

Thank you Disney for flooding the market with superhero movies.  If it weren't for you, I might actually have to grow up and watch real films.

I sincerely hope that this is sarcasm.

Sin Agog

Thank you, Disney, for sticking it to them Commie unionists.

But seriously, thank you, Disney, for the water animation in Pinocchio.  That shit is hauntingly pretty.

Jerzy Bondov

Thank you, Disney, for Feed the Birds.

You are getting these Alanis Morissette lyrics very wrong.

Half and half. You can't tell me that any of the Disney era films are WORSE than the Phantom Menace and their kind.

The Last Jedi is, I reckon.  Appallingly bad movie that's at least as bad as the prequels but in different ways.  For all of the prequels faults (dialogue, acting, CGI), the overarching story itself is decent.  The story in The Last Jedi is the worst of all the mainline movies and is absolutely riddled with plotholes.  It also made a mockery of Luke Skywalker's character and despite what the fanboys insist and their accusations of misogyny, Rey is the very definition of a Mary Sue (I wish that someone would come up with a new name for that trope because it's only the female designation of the title which leads to people to thinking that it's a misogynistic thing.  It's not - it can apply to both female and male characters).

The prequels made my interest in the series wane to a great extent but The Last Jedi is the movie which finally made me completely stop caring about Star Wars at all.  It's genuinely one of the worst movies that I've ever seen, or one of the worst sequels at any rate.

Don't forget 'Everybody Wants To Be A Cat'.

Fair enough, I can't remember much about The Last Jedi AT ALL. I think I've seen it.

I watched Solo and Rogue One recently and they were fine, they were absolutely fine. Which is a massive massive massive improvement on the prequels (which I also watched again recently, and they are dreck).

Thank you heartily Disney for those exceptionally dreary programmes that probably weren't nature programmes but felt like it, maybe the animals had voices added over the top to make them seem cute but they were just awful.  Thanks for those, they always made me feel a bit sick  x

Yes, this. I haven't seen Solo. I thought Rogue One was the closest in spirit to the OT than anything since, Force Awakens made some missteps, but was largely fun (and introduced Kylo Ren, who is arguably and more interesting villain than Darth Vader - certainly a villain more relevant to a modern audience), and the Last Jedi was not my cup of tea, but had few good moments, and I can see why some people like it.

Aside from some good design and (and the time) groundbreaking CGI, the prequels are an unforgivable mess - first drafts at best. Missed opportunities on every level.

BJBMK2

Thank you Disney, for The Emperors New Groove. The single most underrated film (at the time at least) in all of human history.

Mister Six

Thank you Disney for all the Jasmine/Ariel porn you inspired.

Small Man Big Horse

Disney co-own Hulu which created Difficult People, so I'm thankful for that. Plus the first season of The Handmaiden's Tale, though I've not yet watched the second as I heard it wasn't as good.

Thank you Disney for that weird fete or sports day or whatever it was that had someone in a Goofy disguise and loads of SPORTS GOOFY signage and merchandise.

Rogue One had a genuinely good baddie in that Krennic(sp) chap too. Just an arsehole.

I will never understand the love for Rogue One.  Aside from anything else, the characters (aside from K2-SO) are among the blandest and most uninteresting that I've ever seen in a movie.

It also has a laughable misinterpretation of the script by the director within the opening 10 minutes; there's a scene where Jyn is awakened in an Imperial holding cell by liquid dripping on her from above.  She opens her eyes and looks over to the bunk opposite to hers and sees a fellow prisoner (an alien) sleeping.  I pretty much guarantee that moment was written in the script as Jyn being awakened by liquid falling from above, looking up, only to see a sleeping alien in the bunk bed above hers, with the liquid being revealed as being the alien's drool.

Seriously, rewatch that scene.  It's obvious that's what was in the script and the director just fucked up.  Incompetent.

EDIT: I found the video and moment where I first heard the above.  If you can get past the horseshit clickbait title of the video, then I recommend giving it a watch in full.  It does a great job of covering the many and sundry issues with the movie.

Watch the link I put in my edit above.  It's not a citation but perhaps if you watch the accompanying footage from the movie, you'll better understand why this was most likely the case.  Otherwise there's no real credible reason for that shot of Jyn's snoozing fellow prisoner to be in there.  Furthermore, if this wasn't what was intended in the script, then why is there no shot to show the source of the liquid (for example, a leaking pipe)?  I'm fairly sure that it's a fuck up, plain and simple.

"Jyn is sleeping on a prison bed when all of a sudden these green drops fall on h-"

They're plainly not green, closed the tab.

I reopened the tab and carried on a bit.

I actively implore everybody on here to click that link if you want to see an absolute clattering dog shit excuse for criticism.

That's beside the point.  Also, they might be green, kinda hard to tell in a YouTube video.  I'd have to rewatch the movie to check and that's not something I'm in any great hurry to do.
