He had a thing for butt jokes. Ward Kimball said as much.

Ron was literally what Baymax was created to be like, but Baymax's novelty wore off pretty quickly because Hiro wasn't a good character/foil for him. Ron works because Barney was his perfect equal, much like how Toothless works because Hiccup was his perfect equal, and vice-versa, something that Big Hero 6 didn't get.
Seriously, I still believe Big Hero 6 doesn't feel like a Disney movie. It felt like a HTTYD ripoff, it being a Marvel-lite movie doesn't help.

Call me crazy and it’s probably unlikely, but I could very well see Pixar spinning off from Disney and become a independent studio again if this intensifies.

Also I'm still pissed at Big Hero 6 for diverging from the illegal underground robot battle rings very quickly to become Teenage Superhero Team #X.

Agreed. I remember seeing some of the concept art and thinking how great the movie could be and yet it turned into a very basic superhero flick. (Though killing off Tadashi like that was pretty bold).
It seems a lot of these well hand drawn concept arts for these films just end up losing their magic once they get made into 3d...

Yeah, I can agree that the expressions weren't pushed enough. Tangled had the advantage of Glen Keane.
2D has the advantage where it's faster to shit out a quick sketch that shows more emotion. 2D animators basically need more skills since they have to know posing and anatomy. You basically need less people to the same job that 3D animation needs.

It is interesting to hear what others think of modern-Disney. Personally, I would say my favorites came from this era. Tangled and Ralph were easily some of Disney’s best to me, and Frozen had Anna who was a strong protagonist in a film with a lot of issues.
I honestly feel like Disney gave up on animation half-way through the decade. They started out strong, but I believe they shifted once Marvel and Star Wars were acquired and making money. Why try with the animation division when soy shit sells way better? After Big Hero 6, it felt hard to remember what Disney animation came out in a year, if any, with exception to Moana and Zootopia. Then again, I feel like animated pictures got sidelined hard in general post-2015. I used to be able to list them, now I can maybe name one new feature from a year.

I wonder if Disney is going to have 20th Century reissue their Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures catalogs now or not.

Considering what they did to Splash, I'd rather not have them reissue anything.
For context, this is the original scene:
Can't show a few seconds of a woman's raw booty to the kiddies!
'The Owl House' Is an Unapologetically LGBTQ-Friendly Children's Show That We Need More Of
Even despite its ongoing hiatus, 'The Owl House' has the kind of LGBTQ representation we need more of in today's Disney cartoons.
NO, you dirty Rat, you can't have it both ways. Either both are OK to show, or neither are.

Why are they still kissing it's ass the show has been cancelled. Disney probably doesn't want to make any.ore stinkers like that againConsidering what they did to Splash, I'd rather not have them reissue anything.

Honestly, it's probably because 3D animation isn't made for the squash and stretching traditional animation can bring since they're models being rigged. And traditional animations actually benefits from imperfection.
The best examples I can think of come from the old Simpsons (done cel-shaded) compared to the new Simpsons. And Sailor Moon.
old vs new.
Notice how stiff the new looks? With the pacing deliberately made so that it saves as few animation frames as possible? This is the problem of the modern. Everything looks prettier and cleaner, but at the expense of the actual animation and character.
The allowance to go off-model (and animate fully) makes for more dynamic poses which we can understand and relate to because of the extremity. It doesn't matter if the inbetweens are ugly or distorted because the final animation puts the point across. The newer one, while cleaner to look at, has stiffer proportions. But it makes prettier gifs.
Do you believe Belle's disgust more over Elsa's laugh? They each have the appropriate moving parts, but does one seem stiffer than the other? Elsa sure looks prettier and cleaner, you can tell she's "giggling", but there's also a definite uncannyness about it. Without any imperfections due to the natural human nature of animation (lines wiggle, pencil scratches show up for split seconds, the body distorts), it comes off as stiff because it's almost too perfect.
Of course, some people aren't bothered by this in the slightest, but if you'd wondering why you feel 3D has this fake plasticity to it, it could be because you're noticing it's without imperfections, dynamic expressions/poses, and the rigging has confined it into never exceeding itself lest it break. Whereas traditional animation...
I doubt we'll every see the extreme poses Gaston has made again, but you sure do feel them sometimes. Just like the concept art of 3D films. You feel and relate to them more because it's imperfect but also dynamic. But as @cactus has pointed out, it's way cheaper to do 3D films than traditional animation. Despite the introduction of the Cintiq, you still need some talent to be able to keep your characters somewhat on model, lest you end up with the Steven Universe problem.
3D you can copy the rigging on the model for multiple animators to work on, so it's not as big of a deal. So why pay for traditional animation anymore when you can get some college level kids to do the work and have the budget be significantly less for a faster product. After all, this is the age of Consoom. Just Consoom movie and movie products and get excited for next movie project by Company. Instead of waiting years between projects because animation takes time.

The Omicron variant will have probably peaked long before the film releases. I get why they're doing this, but I don't see why they couldn't have just pushed the release date to April instead.
