Disney+ Will Only Thrive If It Starts Capitalizing on Its Most Important Brand

I'd also say that some of the Disney spin-offs they mentioned that are already on the service aren't exactly masterpieces. I think I got halfway through the first season of Monsters at Work, a show I was excited for, and then it just kind of disappeared from my mind, and Sporky Asks a Question was just appalling. There is just a general quality control issue that needs to be addressed, whatever brand we're talking about.
This all to say, it would make me very happy if the Moana and Tiana shows ended up being the salvation of the service.

This certainly captures my wishes and frustrations for how Disney is handling its streaming service. Though, I will be the first to own up to a powerful bias that I can't say for certain would carry to other potential subscribers.Strangely, upon reflecting on all of these points, the thing that Disney+ is missing is original Disney content. Back in the day, the Disney Channel brought in new fans with shows like Lilo & Stitch and House of Mouse, which played with an extended Disney lore. Although there is original Disney Channel programming and Disney Jr. shows still on Disney+, the ambition just isn't there. Disney should perhaps consider returning to 2D animation with larger projects, taking into account the success of series like Phineas and Ferb or films like The Princess and the Frog. This appreciation for classic animation styles would connect the Disney brand back to its roots and encourage those who are longing for a return to the old ways. A new slate of 2D animated projects could certainly help, but the key is utilizing Disney's IP in inventive ways that progress the characters that audiences already love.
Shows based on Moana, Princess and the Frog, and Monsters Inc. are still in development, with Monsters At Work, Zootopia+ and Sporky Asks A Question showing how Disney could elevate the streaming platform. There has to be more focus on actual Disney properties, and with PIXAR's potential Win or Lose showing that original programming from the animation houses is on the cards, there are so many more directions for the studios to go in. When logging into Disney+, fans of the brand aren't getting what they signed up for. There is a lot of content, but very few projects try to emulate the movies that audiences grew up watching and loving.
