Are we not going to talk about how a Studio Chizu and Sony Pictures Animation movie made a Disney scene better than a Disney movie?

I know Belle came out before Wish, the point still stands

Intro for meeee:3

Hi

[synergysilhouette]

Why don't more major animated studios make original musicals?

By "original," I'm referring to the songs, not the story; most animated films that feature music usually use jukebox musicals. It's odd to me that Disney is pretty much the only studio that's made a business of musicals. There was a point in the 90s when Disney was so big that other animation studios were copying their style, but nowadays Dreamworks and Pixar have proven animated films don't have to be musicals to be wildly successful, so original animated musicals are a bit more sparse than they had been. It's a shame, and I'm curious as to why they aren't bigger. From what I can tell, it's moreso stigma against musicals with the idea of them being childish, particularly from an animated stance. It's a shame; despite Japan being an animated powerhouse, I only know of two original musicals that come from their major film studios, and Sony and Skydance are still new to it (though given Sony making "Vivo" and their "Kpop Demon Hunters" franchise, I imagine they're a bit more open to it). I hope the future of animated musicals is bright. I love Disney--when they're at their peak--but I'd like to hear some variety from other studios as well. Nevermind that "Miraculous Ladybug" being a musical and even hyped by the creator as "Spiderman meets Frozen" made it feel like it was a musical just to be gratuitous, being a rare circumstance where it would've been better without the music--though I'd be interested in seeing Zagtoons do it with an original film rather than connected to a tv show.
