When Disney announced in 2013 that there would be a sequel to the Pixar classic, Finding Nemo, I didn’t believe it. I thought that the video I saw on my Facebook timeline was a cruel joke intended to get a rise out of Millennials. But as the trailers began to infiltrate television and movie screens alike, I started to believe it was true. So, three years later, I took one for team Millennial and decided to see Finding Dory with my own eyes … it’s not like I was waiting nearly half of my life for this or anything. Okay, I was. But my experience at the theater kept me more occupied than the film itself. With popcorn and slushie in hand, I sank into the theater seat prepared to relive my childhood. The theater was pretty packed, which was unsurprising considering I was at a venue located near several college campuses that were full of other 20-something-year-olds like me who have waited 13 years for this moment. I went to a 6:30 …show more content…
It is an animated Disney Pixar film so it does not come as a surprise that one of the main demographics of moviegoers are families with children. However, another aspect of the target audience for this film was the Millennial age group (18-34 year olds). Since Finding Nemo came out in 2003, they were the target audience of the original film. So, considering Disney is certainly no stranger to capitalizing on sequels (see Toy Story for reference), they were aware that the now grown up Millennials would definitely pay to see the show. Disney’s executive vice president of distribution Dave Hollis told Moviefone that the success of Dory was in large part thanks to “Generation Nemo,” the 80’s and 90’s kids who saw Finding Nemo in theaters when it was released. A reporter from CinemaScore, between Nemo and Dory, the under 18 crowd’s attendance dropped from 51 percent to 38 percent while the 18-24 population grew from 9 percent to 18 percent, and the 25-34 group rose from 13 percent to 14
To begin, “Finding Nemo” is a very popular film because of its Disney animations and its underwater talking animals that appeal to younger children. An abundance of people were lining up to see “Finding Nemo.” Disney Pixar is a huge company that lots of kids like to watch. When they heard a new animated movie was coming out, a lot of them wanted to see it. Also, the movie was heavily based in an underwater setting with underwater plants and animals. If scientists study those specific areas it could interest them into watching the

Disney’s new movie “Frozen” has caught the eyes of viewers and has surprised us all, reaching No. 1 in the box Office and have pass over $300 million of tickets sold, this movie has no sign of slowing down any time soon. “Frozen’ is one of the few recent Disney films to capture the classic Disney script, like “Cinderella” or “Snow White”, it’s a heart warming and loving story, guaranteed to thaw a frozen heart. Unlike the usual Disney princess story line where the girl has a poor life or things just don’t turn out like there suppose to, they wish upon a star, fall in love, then bibbidi-bobbdi-boo they have a happily ever after. Frozen strayed off from tradition and decided to go for more of a different approach. True love has always been a key concept for Disney films. Sleeping Beauty, true loves kiss broke the spell, Beauty and the Beast, true love broke the curse, Snow White, again true love broke the spell, its the same concept, but in Frozen instead added a twist and showed love between sisters Elsa and Anna. It adds a twist in tradition, so that a reason why older viewers and even critics can enjoy, its something new and different. The movie “Frozen” is based off of “The Snow Queen”, a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. The story is about an evil troll, also known as “the devil”, makes a mirror that when looked into distorts the beauty and good of people and things to the complete opposite, ugly and bad. One day the troll and his friends try to take the mirror to Heaven the make angels and God look like fools, but when they were almost there the mirror falls and shatters into little pieces almost dust. This “dust” travels around the world and gets into peoples eyes and into their hearts freezing them. Years later a girl n...

My hands were clenched tightly around the armrest of my couch, ten minutes in to my first horror movie. I was in middle school as a 7th grader, brand new to the world of sleepovers, late nights, and scary movies. My best friend invited me over for a sleepover on a Friday night to pig out on candy, and watch a movie that would surely leave us with nightmares for a long time. I did not show it and neither did my friend, but I was apprehensive whether or not this was a good idea. I could hear my mom in the back of my head at the time saying, “scary movies are for adults, and you will regret it if you watch one.” We both acted like the movie we were about to watch, wasn’t a bigger deal than it actually was; I was terrified yet excited about the
When I went, I had gotten there just in time. There were three women there that had an extra ticket, and to top it off their tickets/seats were in the front row center. So I had a very good view. As I sat down, I noticed on the stage one of the actors. He was Jack for "Jack in the Bean Stalk." Jack is one of the teachers at Ursuline Academy, Dale Mason. He was not my teacher, but I did know him. I thought that that was pretty cool.
... my sister and I returned to New York. Once again we made the trek to the Nederlander. We took our seats and relished the memories. While the cast was different, the affect was similar. It opened our eyes and renewed our appreciation for those that are different than us. I feel in love with it all over again. Even though I had seen the show in Indianapolis and Chicago, there was something about sitting in that theater that made it special.
His work in modern media was revolutionary. Moreover, he broadened communication and made it easier to learn about new cultures. Disney’s movies play a vital role in children’s development and their productivity when they enter the “real world”.
I chose to analyze Despicable Me, an animated film geared towards a younger audience, because I was interested in examining underlying theories and messages that this film would be relaying to its viewers. Often times, when watching animated films, children are not aware of these messages, as they are absorbed by the characters, special effects, and humor. But as we have learned throughout this semester, our brains are subconsciously primed by the various surroundings we are exposed to. Since we also studied the impacts of entertainment, such as television and video games, on children, I wanted to see how a popular children’s film might also affect them.
Disney has made it his life 's goal to create home entertainment for both young and old. From the creation of Mickey to his work in films, Disney had made it clear that happiness is something that everyone should have. Disney had also know that animations is not just for the imagination of the children. Early movies such as Snow White and Pinocchio have clear messages for the younger views. “In Snow White- the main characters are victims of injustice who are eventually restored to their rightful place. In Pinocchio, the characters Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket and Geppetto are faced with dilemmas, and their own actions result in them becoming victims of ev...

Walt Disney grew up to become a world-renowned animator, but before that he struggled immensely because people did not like his vision. He loved drawing animals that could talk and walk like humans but the media saw that as weird and creepy and did not see the joy in it as Walt did.

“Just keep swimming, just keep swimming,” That is a famous quote to one of the most beloved childhood movies of the 2000s, Finding Nemo. The sequel which just premiered this year, Finding Dory, exceeds expectations of those who patiently waited ten years just to watch the adventures of Dory, Nemo, and Marlin. Finding Dory is directed by Andrew Stanton and features the famous actress Ellen DeGeneres who stars the main star, 'Dory'. Other actors voicing characters are Diane Keaton, Albert Brooks, and Hayden Rolence. This is under Walt Disney Studios and Pixar Animation Studios. Finding Dory is a wonderful film that can be enjoyed by any age group as it features controversial topics such as understanding people with mental and physical abilities,
I search through the movie listings to find a film that will be enjoyable. No assurance, because most films contain offensive scenes and dirty language that are completely unnecessary and rather than improve the film, undermine its enjoyment. Children today have, in my estimation, pitiable role models to try to find. It seems the lower the mentality and the poorer the performance, the higher the admiration is for it.
