Funny post but that's not really the difference between both studios. One makes movies because they love them while the other (re)makes movies to monetize them. Miyazaki's style and ideas are iconic but that's aslo true of a lot of Disney's movies. It's just corpo greed as always.

Yes, thank you. That is the joke.

It didn't read like this was the joke to me. Disney isn't in a creative rut, they're purposefully not trying new stuff.

I don't even know if they're necessarily in a creative slump on purpose either. They made "Elemental" not too long ago that was fairly original. They just know for a proven fact that if they reach behind their back and grab some random IP from 'The Vault', change one of the characters from white to OTHER, maybe make one of them nebulously gay, and change up the animation style, all of the parents who have nothing bigger to look forward to everyday then what's on their DVR at home, will 100% buy movie tickets to go see Will Smith shit all over the memory of Robin Williams.

Yeah that's pretty much what I meant.
