What do you think of Disney now? Best or Worst?

Judge on many levels of what Disney has done in the past years so far. What's your thoughts on what Disney has done?

ninja storm i felt was on par with most saban seasons. dino thunder was RAD. SPD I enjoyed...

...but have not felt impressed with mystic-Jungle Fury. At all.

they went IMO from worthy of the brand to nothing at all.

More than just PR in general. What are they doing with movies and rest of it. Like Narnia.

Disney's at their worst with PR. NS and DT were rather blah, SPD was okay, but the rest -- the less said the better. Although Disney does deserve big kudos for allowing PMC to happen 2 years ago.

As for their other output, they've lost their touch. Nothing spells apocalypse better than the likes of HSM and the Jonas Brothers being some of the hottest "in" things right now. They're in a rut right now IMO.

The only two Disney series worth watching were Dino Thunder and SPD, after that it went all down hill.

NS (<3), DT, SPD and JF were all fandabbydosey. OO was alright, MF was a master disaster.

Just like any other company, they have their hits and misses


As for PR only, I gotta say they've done ok with it. Love, Jungle Fury and Dino Thunder =p

They need a better aim, because they tend to miss more than hit.

As a company overall, I feel like they're struggling with trying to keep with the times/their identity and with Nickelodeon...they've had a lot of different franchises, some good and some bad...but nothing that really defined them like it has in the past..

The only Disney brand I'm really into right now is the Disney Princesses. But I'm a girl and things like pretty princesses and prince charming appeal to me. As far as Disney Channel crap like HSM, Jonas Brothers, etc...it's lame. Hannah Montana was good until Miley got a big head and went all diva. And as for PR, NS was the best ever and DT was amazing too but that wasn't due to Disney, that was due to Doug Sloan...then Doug left and Disney hired Kalish and it was all down hill. SPD writing sucked but the cast made it watchable. MF was crap and OO was even worse than crap. JF would have been as bad but David De Lautour make that watchable just because he's awesome and made RJ awesome. All in all I'm not an over all Disney fan...except, as I said, for the Princesses.

i think they are going downhill in quality, they did better when they made entertainment for the whole family, but they are sellouts now, only focusing on certain demographics like teens. i bet walt is turning in his grave.

I'm not a fan of Disney. A company that prides itself in family entertainment and "creating memories" for generations... that scares me. By influencing children you can change how they think and feel, quite a dangerous responsibility. They always came off as a shady company to me.

Some of their movies I enjoyed, such as Aladdin or The Lion King. However, Disney by themselves, I somewhat fear them and their infinite power they have on the entertainment industry.

I know power rangers was really big when it first came out, because it was new and different. what if disney dropped PR then brought it back years later, would it still have the same affect as when it first came here?

Dug their films until some time in the late '90s, I think... don't think much of them otherwise.

In regard to PR in specific, they're a trainwreck; Doug kept it up during NS and DT and SPD wasn't too bad, back when Bruce still seemed to have a fresh approach, but otherwise a train wreck, indeed.
