Despite celebrating its monumental 100th year of existence, all is not well at the house of mouse. Disney has faced setbacks, including box office flops, lawsuits, and challenges within its once unbeatable cash cow, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Even the usually reliable Disney Animation department has hit a rough patch, with films like Elemental and Wish failing to set the world ablaze. As we reflect on the challenges of the past year, the question arises: can Disney Animation bounce back in 2024? Continue below for written version. The Downfall of Elemental and WishBoth Elemental and Wish, the latest offerings from Disney Animation, struggled to make a mark. Wish, in particular, fell behind the opening weekend gross of numerous other films produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. Surpassing only a few flops like Strange World and Raya and the Last Dragon, Wish failed to reach the heights achieved by its predecessors in the 2010s, which opened with more than $45,000,000. It seems that the once-great Disney Animation has been missing its familiar magic lately. Looking Ahead to 2024As the saying goes, there is always next year. In 2024, Disney Animation has two films slated for release: Elio in March and the highly anticipated Inside Out 2 in June. The big question now is whether these two films can save Disney from its current woes. Elio's Lackluster First ImpressionA closer look at Elio's first trailer left some unimpressed, raising concerns about its potential success. While there is hope that the film will surprise audiences, the initial lukewarm reception raises doubts about its ability to bring back the Disney magic. Inside Out 2: A Beacon of Hope?The real spotlight, however, is on Inside Out 2, the sequel to one of Disney's modern classics. With the bar set high, can this film revive the studio's fortunes? As the most anticipated release of the year, all eyes will be on Inside Out 2 to see if it can recapture the essence of what makes Disney Animation special. In the face of challenges, Disney Animation stands at a crossroads in its 100th year. While recent films have faltered, the hope is that Elio and Inside Out 2 will usher in a new era of success for the studio. As we eagerly await the release of these animated features, the question lingers: Will Disney Animation bounce back in 2024? Share your thoughts in the comments below. -YOU MAY ALSO BE INTERESTED IN
