Yeah the marketing was cute when the original came out and he was invading other Disney properties as a gag but it feels really forced when they're trying to add star wars and marvel to the joke.

disney's MO for the past 8ish years has been "look at all the things we own! look at the thing you recognize! buy buy buy!"

Even classical 'Disneyana' hardcores who gush about everything Walt kind of cringe when someone puts Darth Vader and Spider-Man on the same platform with the mouse.
Though Michael Eisner was heavily criticized by fans and Walt Disney's nephew he was very deliberate about isolating the traditional Disney entities away from his expansions into territories that were unseemly to that image. Disney could both be your gee-willakers content saint as a studio while the corporation quietly makes millions from R-rated films about sex and drugs.

They did the same with Ralph Breaks the Internet. What a terrible sequel to a great film.

Disney doesn't own Pinterest, google or ebay.
Ralph breaks the internet was about...the internet. It wasn't about Disney properties being shown.

Rare case where the 2nd one was better than the first. First one was terrible.

I'd sooner believe this guy watched the films in the wrong order than believe he actually thinks the second film is better.

u/omnipotentmonkey 2d ago
You might find about 0.0001% of people backing you on that one,
original is extremely beloved, second is despised.

u/VancouverMethCoyote 2d ago
In what universe is Ralph Breaks the Internet better than Wreck It Ralph lol
The sequel ruined the character growth for both Vanellope and Ralph from the first film and was just chock full of "look at how much Disney owns!" advertising.

I’m so upset people are eating this up like it’s on the same level as the originals trailers . It’s not. They are just doing posters . The OG had fully animated scenes of stitch in the movies. If they had the budget and brought out the live action cast for these I would of been ecstatic

u/The_Peeping_Peter 1d ago
A clip of Thor calling his hammer only to see stitch riding it, coming at him in full force would be hilarious

u/ThePreciseClimber 2d ago
Yeah, that shit was amazing.
Not doing live-action trailers featuring The Little Mermaid, Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin and The Lion King is so lame.

Counterpoint: I don’t want to see those movies ever again, not even clips of them with Stitch.

THANK YOU!
everyone one keeps gushing about "how disney is doing the tongue and cheek marketing using their existing films thing"
These are tacky, cheap, watered down versions of what we got 20+ years ago.
Disney needs to do better if they want to hit the nostalgic vibes with fans.

While I can see your point, I can also see why they're not doing the exact same thing.
It is much easier to get Disney animators to clone a scene with soundalikes than it is to negotiate stuff with real world actors and re-do expensive live-action-level CGI for the sake of a trailer.

u/compaqdeskpro 1d ago
They are just checking to see if they should keep working on it or just kill it, because for all the marketing efforts in the world they don't know what audiences want.

The original campain had actual new animated footage of Stitch messing up iconic Disney films.
These poster all look like they got a designer to make them at 3pm on Friday.

u/MisogynyisaDisease 2d ago edited 2d ago
And some Disney stans are downvoting anyone who dares say it out loud, this poster is really ugly. Not only is it ugly, but its a really soulless recreation of one of their most successful ad campaigns.

u/ItIsAboutABicycle 2d ago
So they're not only remaking their entire back catalogue, but also remaking their old marketing campaigns. Jesus wept.

u/hanburgundy 2d ago
Disney really pushing to frame their consolidation efforts as a silly little in-joke for the fans.

u/Heavy-Possession2288 2d ago
They’ve been doing that for a while. Multiple Simpsons shorts and Deadpool and Wolverine come to mind.

This is the exact marketing campaign they ran for the original but with all the stuff they own now that they didn't before.

Unpopular opinion but it’d be an even cooler movie if Stitch was hand drawn into live action, Who Framed Roger Rabbit style.

u/Meitantei_Serinox 2d ago
The original animated movie had a poster with the same tagline which showed many older animated Disney movie characters being weirded out by Stitch, so this is a callback.
29
u/AustinTanius 2d ago
But that old one makes sense. It's Disney "created" characters. Heck a lot of animated Disney moves had call backs or references to other Disney Animated movies. The new one is just stuff from different IPs they bought.

u/MysteriousHat14 2d ago
And?
17
u/Ekra_Fleetfoot 2d ago
What do you mean "and"?
The stuff portrayed in the poster are all studios that were bought by Disney, studios that had produced original works of their own beforehand.On the surface, this is a neat callback to the theatrical poster for the version of the film that came out before Disney bought Pixar. And Marvel... and 20th Century Fox... and Lucasfilm.... This poster... it's a perversion of the original. It is a soulless carbon-copy devoid of character.
What purpose does this film serve when the animated film it is based upon still exists??

u/Eject_The_Warp_Core 2d ago
I like a callback in theory, but not with just all the stuff Disney owns. Maybe they could have done something like the original with the live action remake characters? Not sure thats much better tho

There is so much live action in this image. How did they fit it all on one poster?

u/MichaeltheSpikester 1d ago
On May 23rd, I'll be watching the original animated 2002 film just to spite Disney in their faces how pointless these lifeless carbon copies of the original are! :D

Two in mine actually, and they always seem to ruin special occasions.
Why is the tagline a quote from The Lion King?

More like 'Stitch' because I don't see the former in any of these posters yet

Why does that poster give me a weird “communist propaganda” vibe? Like the big red star and the hat and the color selection. Just feels like it should be in Russian abd hanging on the brick wall of an empty bakery somewhere cold.
