Originally Posted By dagobert Honestly most live action movies branded with Disney weren't that good in the last 20 years. There were some really cheap movies like Prince of Persia or that silly family movies like Snow Dogs and stuff. I don't miss that. Disney released some great movies under the Touchstone and Miramax banners, but that's Marvel and Lucasfilm now. However I wish that Disney would do another National Treasure movie.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I think that Disney really messed up when they got rid of Touchstone, Miramax, and Hollywood Pictures. It allowed them to make lower-cost movies that had the potential for huge success, and not much risk of failure. When I think of the best movies from the mid-80's through the mid-00's, most of them are from those "studios" that no longer exist. They were mostly simple affairs, but done very well For the most part, I'm really not especially excited about the upcoming slate. Tomorrowland looks neat, and I feel obligated to get excited for Star Wars even though I only have a passing interest in it. But the Marvel sequels and fairy tale redos don't excite me at all, and I was really disappointed by the last Pirates movie Supposedly Tron 3 has also started production, so it should probably be ready some time in that timeframe. There's a lot of potential there, but I've learned the hard way to not get too excited for that franchise

Originally Posted By FerretAfros >>How dare you.<< Meh. The Star Wars movies that I first saw in theaters are the prequels, so I'm going in with tempered expectations. I haven't seen any of the films since the prequels were in theaters, so it's not like I have a particularly strong affinity for the franchise (though I enjoyed the original trilogy during my several viewings of it, way back when)
