As if to make up for the financial losses of the past few feature films, the company appears to be learning from its mistakes and box office bombs.
As Disney recovers from the blows dealt by projects like Strange World, Quantumania, and Elemental, their fanbase has been begging for things to revert “back to how they used to be.” As many fans are longing for the days of classic Disney movies, the studio is giving them exactly what they asked for.

- Toy Story (July 21 – August 3)
- Frozen (August 4 – August 7)

Although this is exciting news for Disney fans, it’s also a brilliant move for the company. Walt Disney Studios will rake in the profits and give audiences what they’ve been asking for in the process. While some might see it as pandering, it’s a solid reminder of why fans love Disney in the first place.

While their recent releases might not have won the acclaim of their classic films, the audience for them stayed. In the spirit of Walt Disney himself, the company is giving the people what they want, but only for a limited time.
