Después de haber largado a gente el año pasado, ahora se van 175 más. Un fiasco y me extraña que no hagan lo propio en Disney Animation Studios.
Estos artículos (un poco coñazo de leer porque van por partes) son maravillosos.

As exposed in part one of The D-Files, the removal of John Lasseter was never about removing a "bad man," but more that his personal demons were used as an excuse/weapon to remove him from creative power at the Walt Disney Company. The next step should have been replacing Lasseter with someone...

Disney's Animation's Slow Descent to Obscurity It all began with Wish...for the D-Files, that is. After I attended an early press screening of the feature, it was clear to me that Disney's Wish was the worst animated feature in the 100 year history of the Walt Disney Company and, ironically, was...

Para quien no tenga tiempo para leerlos, el resumen es lo comentado en el foro en más de una ocasión:
- Forzaron el despido de Lasseter. Lo tuvieron fácil, porque el tío tenía sus defectos gordos. El problema es que era el sustituto natural de Walt Disney. Todo lo que es Pixar y Disney Animation Studios en las últimas décadas es gracias a él. Disney Animation Studios estaba en la miseria y fue él quien rescató ese departamento de la compañía al mismo tiempo que dirigía Pixar. Todo mezclado con una necesidad imperiosa de que todo fuese perfecto, detalle de su carácter que no gustaba a todo el mundo.
- En cuanto se lo quitaron de encima, en Pixar pusieron a Docter, que quitando sus propias películas, no ha sabido parir una buena película. Coco todavía es de Lasseter. Desde entonces, la nada más absoluta. Tristísimo que Docter haya tenido que salir en público a decir que la gente quiere secuelas en lugar de reconocer que sus películas son una mierda. Pero claro, el de Coco se fue, Brad Bird se fue... la gente importante se largó cuando despidieron a Lasseter viendo el panorama que se venía en la compañía.
- En Disney pusieron a Jennifer Lee, una escritora novata con muchas ganas de poder, que consiguió fama por Frozen. Habría que ver qué sería de la película sin los compositores que contrataron.
- Bajo su mando, se contrató a gente de diversas culturas como codirectores o cooescritores, para dar la imagen de que abrazan todas las culturas.
- Se echó a todos los animadores buenos y se contrató a gente de todo el mundo para, además, igualar la cuota de trabajadores al 50% de mujeres y de hombres. Toda la gente que entró ya no viene de CalArts, es gente de Asia y otros lugares, sin formación. Los animadores de Disney que quedaban intentaban formar a los nuevos, pero se les veía como los viejos del lugar y acabaron marchándose todos. Los últimos, los directores de Vaiana/Moana, leyendas de Disney que tuvieron que irse. Antes tuvo que marcharse el mejor animador de Disney de las últimas décadas, Glen Keane, que acabó haciendo una película para Netflix.
- Desde que está esta mujer, las películas han sido un fracaso. Raya y el dragón, Strange World y Wish. De esta última se comenta la mala calidad de todo, desde la composición, las texturas, la animación... Hecha de cualquier manera y, lo que es peor, a propósito intentando imitar cosas de las películas clásicas, sin conseguirlo. Sólo con Wish han perdido muchísimo dinero.
- Como próximas películas, han rescatado una serie que iba para Disney+, hecha por gente externa al estudio, para transformarla en unos meses en película, porque no tienen nada que estrenar. A partir de ahí, alguna secuela y esperar a una hipotética Frozen 3. En Pixar han apostado por la quinta película de Toy Story, a la desesperada para intentar estrenar algo sin dar pérdidas.
Se han cargado dos estudios al mismo tiempo, hay que reconocer que es digno de estudio. A ver quien tiene huevos a coger a estos dos y echarlos de sus puestos. Pero mal futuro se les presenta a estas compañías.
