I think the reason why this movie was not in theaters is because well the sad thing is people or Disney don’t think that it is interested for a disability character to struggle with normal people. But to me this sounds like an underdog movie and I would definitely love it if that was in a movie theater.
I get what you’re saying but I work at a movie theater and movies like this come to the theater but no one goes to see them. Champions was probably the most successful but only older people were going to see it. Disney is just playing to the market🤷♂️
I think it's because it goes against their branding to the larger public of animations and fantasy, I haven't watched the movie, but from the sounds of it the movie is more grounded and less fantastical
Theater worthy movie? This is a cute movie, that is heart warming, but it's one that I would expect to see on the Hallmark channel not one to see in a theater. And what direct to dvd movie are you speaking of? Moana 2? Yeah, you're right, Disney should have done that direct to Disney+ they don't need that $300+ million it made the opening holiday weekend.
Because the movies at the theaters actually make money. Disney isn’t stupid, they know what they are doing and that’s why when they put out movies they are going to make money whether the movie is good or bad. For example Moana 2, it’s most likely making a billion dollars and it’s not a good movie.
You really think they would rather put a movie that no one has any idea about rather than a Moana 2? No, the first movie was a huge success and the second movie was almost guaranteed to make loads of money. Plus Moana is one of disneys biggest brands
Dude, this was one of our old book club books and we all loved it! It's insane to see it got adapted into a movie and it did so well. Hopefully they finally get around to adapting Cinder into a movie series.
As someone with Cerebral palsy I’ve got to respect them for it. (Mine is mild as in weaker arm strength and leg strength )but I have to respect them for making things
Spoiler warning Oh, you’re still here this will be your second warning OK, seriously this is your last warning before I put my thoughts up there I really like this movie because at the end of the day it just felt real. Let me elaborate. When Melody had her speech at the end. This was around the end of the movie. I like the fact that no one instantly got up to apologize right away because with most movies at the end, the characters would apologize to the main character for their behavior, Throughout the movie but that didn’t happen at the end and that’s the part I like because it just felt real. But anyhow, that’s all I have to say.
All the people in this comment section know that they would not have seen this in theaters lol. I see Independent films like this get promoted all the time on social media in the comment section is always "who asked for this?"
Disney need to acquired more Sundance movies, it's what they needed right now. The huge positive buzz from Sundance convinced Disney to acquire the rights
I've never heard of this film but any Disney film with praise gets an automatic watch for me but probably in January because my watchlist this month is pretty tight plus Christmas
I'm acoustic so there and Holy fuck people will absolutely bully you to shreds if you are in the wrong classroom so might watch this cause I can relate a bit
@pennywisethedancingclown2246 tf I can hear and also I am not that acoustic if I was without a classroom assistant I would probably pass as a normal guy and I am in a class that isn't absolutely filled with assholes anymore so I'm doing good
@@beedlesnicesofa4189 Also its funny you mention how people bullied you to shreds yet when I extended my hand in solidarity to you and you respond with venomous spite.
I remember audibly reading this in 5th grade for our class reading book thing. I enjoyed it especially after reading and then watching "Wonder" in class.
This is actually a movie adaptation of a book- and it’s great my school book club read the book and it was a phenomenal, wonderful experience, my toes tingled at the thought of being in a world such as this; I was stunned, the read made my heart skip 67,890 beats every second. :D
I agree with you wholeheartedly as a person with Cerebral Palsy. It reminds me of older DCOM movies they used to put out that had good lessons about physical differences. I think they need to go back to that because of how the world is going…
My GF and I both have CP, and hers is much closer to Melody's condition. We absolutely loved this movie! I found myself getting so invested in it while watching that I was yelling at the teacher and rooting for her the whole way through. It's such an amazing movie.
when my class was reading out of my mind, almost all the boys would make fun of melody, call her weird names, and mock her. it was honestly such a relief to see you talk shit about meldoy’s new classmates instead of her. i’m so used to them mocking her you genuinely don’t understand how happy i am 😭 people are terrible.
I think disney just doesn’t want to take risks on new stuff, and just do the easy thing of making money off of things that they know people will definitely respond to, like sequels or spinoffs to films that are already very popular and new stuff from well known cinematic universes like marvel or star wars
Thanks for acknowledging that Disney still makes really good original movies but only releases them on their streaming service. We need more people to know about this so Disney can start releasing them in theaters!
It's because of Revenue Potential and Risk. If it is a new original movie, it need to be a potential multi-movie/series so that they can make more of it such as sequels, spin-offs, etc..., bonus points if its an existing media that has pre-established fan base. For example Harry Potter, Marvel Comics, Lord of the Rings, etc.... If not, just make [Insert IP name] sequel. How can they make the movie/series appealing to international audience, more importantly China. So that many can watch it. In the end its the higher ups get to say what's going to be given priority to, damn creativity of its not going to payback in dividends.
then thats a real pathetic way they have of seeing a new IP being made not everything needs to be in a big universe or needs 30 movies planned out ahead of time
If Disney wants to make a good movie with originality why bother showing it on a streaming service 😔😔😔.It should be on the big screen with proper marketing and promotion.But NOPE, it has to be on a streaming service forgotten because its original and it doesn't make money.But sequels and remakes do 🙄🙄🙄
Bro this movie was my secondary school experience. I had to go to school where everyone had adhd and I was put in the class with the girl who is 15 and likes Mickey Mouse clubhouse and tried to sugarcoat one of the teachers having an chronic illness. So then I told mom about it and now I am in a class where there are actually likeable people but lessons that I’ve already learned and them not caring what, but how.
I had to read the book for school a while back, and it was fucking stellar. I didn't like the movie that much because it was so oversimplified compared to the book. In the book, Melody cannot move her head, arms, or hands. Only her thumbs. This made the story way more compelling because she was so much more limited. She didn't have an electric wheelchair or her talking thingy until like halfway through the book. Still solid though.
I love book adaptations, and this movie is no exception. I havent seen the movie yet, but the book was a masterpiece. Disney has yet again fumbled the bag. Anyway, spoilers from the book: Penny, the young sister, gets hit by a car backing up. Holy shit.
Young woman and the sea was out in theaters but the release window was very short. I think they're trying to do what Netflix and Apple do when showing a film in theaters before putting it on streaming but I don't think they are committing hard enough to make it affective.
I really wished Disney made these movies like Out of my Mind instead of Toy Story 4, Ralph Breaks the Internet, Moana 2, Frozen 2, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and movies no one want to see!
i have a theory as to why, simply put - disney doesnt care enough about it to be a overly saturated franchise that they planned for the next 10 years they can try to spin a tale that they do by greenlighting movies like this - but they'd rather go bankrupt than to heavily promote its existence if they dont think it deserves a sequel, let alone a franchise
Honestly with how most movies from this year and the next two are mostly remakes and sequels, the public clearly prefer those over good films like the northman and tf one, makes sense why Disney made this movie streaming only. Less chance of it flopping. It sucks but the public chose it
I'm guessing the reason it was dropped on streaming instead of theaters is because Moana 2 was originally meant to be tv show, but after failures like Wish they really needed a win again so they Frankensteined Moana 2 from a tv into a movie sequel in under a year so they can create the same success as the 1st movie (unfortunately it was successful) rather than take a chance with this one.
How is Disney supposed to sell a ton of merch and theme park tickets with this? even if Marvel, Star Wars stuff get shredded online, little kids still buy toys and go to Disneyland with their parents. That is where the real money is. Low budget movies are there just to fill the Disney Plus slate 😅😅😅
I saw the trailer for this movie. It seemed fantastic and I'm glad it's true. *But why wasn't it in theaters?!?!?!?!?!* There's a reason Disney is now known for unserious family films and nowadays, there's a great chance of them being *just okay.* We don't always want fantastical animated movies that might turn into flops or the 100th sequel that'll make or break the franchise. Remember when Disney didn't make sequels???? "Wall-E," "Ratatouille," and "A Bug's Life."
In elementary we were all forced to read really long books together as a class, the teacher always had 4,000 copies of the same 20 to 30 year old books that have been there for ages, the teacher would read a paragraph, then someone would read a paragraph, then another, then another ect. im pretty sure you know what im talking about. I hated being the next person to read a paragraph cause i wasnt able to read some of the friggen 16th centry wording! So in the 5th grade we read the book out of my mind, and i thoughy it was pretty cool that it was a Book about a disabled kid! Cause i'm autistic. Years later i was on Disney + and i saw it was a movie now. Honestly i wasnt surprised when i saw there was a movie about it. And i do wonder if theres an autistic character in any book, cause during elementary school we read an absurd amount of books and not once have we read a book with the main character who was autistic like i am. ☹️
Toy story 5 will definitely make over a billion dollars even if we didn't need it they know people will still be watching it so that is why they are making a toy story 5
Forcing a direct to streaming show into a theatrical movie but banished Disney’s Wonder to streaming… HOW ARE THEY SELLING THIS HARD?! ONLY WB CAN FUMBLE LIKE THIS!

If this movie had have been released in theaters, it would’ve dominated the box office and critics
it's already dominating the critics with 100% in rotten tomatoes
Most critics seemed to like this movie especially the ones that came out of Sundance
This movie would have dominated against Wicked and Moana 2? Movies like this always bomb at the box office.
I don't think you know how the box office works
@@thefoxcritic1did u even read their comment LMAO
If Disney is giving theater worthy movies on streaming and direct to dvd movies to theaters?
Yep, Disney has LOST IT!
I'm pretty sure they are aware that this movie wouldn't have made any money. You know for sure that you would not have seen this in theaters

Nah that sounds like a DCOM at best
They really saw that movie and the at the time TV Moana show and was like “Obviously the TV show is going to theaters”
You really think they would rather put a movie that no one has any idea about rather than a Moana 2? No, the first movie was a huge success and the second movie was almost guaranteed to make loads of money. Plus Moana is one of disneys biggest brands

I blame the audience, not Disney. People keep going to see that sludge. If Toy Story 5 and Moana 2 really flop, it won't take long for them to change.
Maybe you should check out some news articles about how Moana 2 did at the box office the opening weekend before making a comment about it flopping.

this movie was based on the amazing book by the same name. That might be one reason why it was such a great movie
Read the book this movie is based on in middle school. I loved it and it holds up as a fantastic read today as well. ❤
Also I wouldn’t call it “original.” It’s an adaptation of a book. Just goes to show that Disney really can’t come out with original ideas anymore
Explanation: Disney is allergic to money
Put yourself in Disneys shoes, which movie would you rather have go to theaters in a money standpoint, Moana 2, or this.
rare moment of disney not depending on their image and actually gives us a great film
I think disney just doesn’t want to take risks on new stuff, and just do the easy thing of making money off of things that they know people will definitely respond to, like sequels or spinoffs to films that are already very popular and new stuff from well known cinematic universes like marvel or star wars
I read the book, it’s fantastic. Disney’s work was cut out for them
Thanks for acknowledging that Disney still makes really good original movies but only releases them on their streaming service. We need more people to know about this so Disney can start releasing them in theaters!
Wonder is a great mental disability film based on a book
Clouds, too, was a movie released a few years ago. Great movie, but it went straight to Disney + and didn't get the love it deserved.
This movie is also based off of a book. The book is amazing, highly recommend
First? Also, I've never actually heard of the movie, so it definitely needs more advertising.
This would've skyrocketed in the box office
This is Disney's answer to the Owen Wilson and Julia Roberts film "Wonder"
This is a great addition to Disney's live-action movies outside the terrible remakes. I can't believe they didn't put this movie in theaters.
It's because of Revenue Potential and Risk.
If it is a new original movie, it need to be a potential multi-movie/series so that they can make more of it such as sequels, spin-offs, etc..., bonus points if its an existing media that has pre-established fan base.

That’s why I just don’t care to watch Disney films nowadays.
Anybody else read this book? I just got a rush of nostalgia
This is better than those live action remakes ngl
This is how Disney was in the 90s and 2000s. It’s such a shame Disney cares more about promoting the message, and not coming up with original ideas.

Soo, this movie is just a high-budget Dhar Mann video
Maybe because Disney wants to merchandise? Thats where major profits comes selling children and adults toys
omg I read this book!!! I need to see this the book was so good
i have a theory as to why, simply put - disney doesnt care enough about it to be a overly saturated franchise that they planned for the next 10 years
they can try to spin a tale that they do by greenlighting movies like this - but they'd rather go bankrupt than to heavily promote its existence if they dont think it deserves a sequel, let alone a franchise
Honestly with how most movies from this year and the next two are mostly remakes and sequels, the public clearly prefer those over good films like the northman and tf one, makes sense why Disney made this movie streaming only. Less chance of it flopping. It sucks but the public chose it
Well I guess we know where the priorities for Disney lies in.
Disney's version of wonder, remember that film?
DISNEY: Brooo this movie is actually fire 🔥
Don’t release it in Theaters.
I'm guessing the reason it was dropped on streaming instead of theaters is because Moana 2 was originally meant to be tv show, but after failures like Wish they really needed a win again so they Frankensteined Moana 2 from a tv into a movie sequel in under a year so they can create the same success as the 1st movie (unfortunately it was successful) rather than take a chance with this one.
It goes to show that Disney can make great things, they just won’t for someone fathomable reason
If it won't make a billion dollars, why bother
-Disney
Disney doesn't want a full feature full of representation in theaters. Only a few seconds of it so that they can edit it out for foreign markets
what is it with your a24 glaze? like no hate, (i love em to) but like damn
Tgere actually alot of movies this good on Disney plus and Hulu it just doesn't get the same level of marketing
I have CP too, but instead of making me quadriplegic, it made me hemiplegic, meaning it only affects the right side of my body.

Cant wait for a certain group of people to call this movie "woke"...whatever the hell that means.
Maybe things like a 5th toy story gives them a budget for these movies.
I felt the ending was a bit stupid to be honest
Now, talk about the Disney movie, Young woman and the sea please!
