It looks like, according to a new piece by Variety, both Lucasfilm and Marvel are starting to falter for Disney when it comes to making movies targeted towards Gen Z men, so they’re looking to make new, original IP targeted to that demographic, whether it be via Walt Disney Pictures or 20th Century Studios.

Regarding that, I did have an idea for an animated Disney film based on Momotaro, the Japanese folk legend. I also had an idea for an animated Disney feature that is set in Australia, features native Australians, and involves the Dreaming (aka the Dreamtime).

They have gotten too reliant on Marvel, Star Wars and decades old IP that really turned off Gen Z.
