This may be obvious, but it just occurred to me today that the real reason 80% of Disney productions in the last 10+ years have been sequels, spin-offs, and live-action remakes (I actually calculated it and its closer to 53%, but still) is that they are afraid of failure. I always knew it was about money which makes sense given that they are business and they would rather invest in something that has a track record of success, but just never connected that to them being so afraid of a flop that they forgo creativity. It’s just a bit ironic coming from a company that is supposed to represent magic and imagination, that’s all.
