Disney Properties 2024 - Rumors & Discussion

[hikouki]

Looking at the minidoll Maleficent dragon set, I was thinking it would have been a perfect companion to the Aurora CMF/ mini castle. Has lego released any torso or legs that would approximate that minidoll figure into minifigure form?

Great to see another Disney fan who knows how to appreciate classics.

Some literary pieces have to be taken in the context of its history or the time in which it was written. Classics are indeed classics. And it takes scholarly reading in order completely digest the beauty of these timeless tales.

I think indeed, it is a big gamble for Lego to release sets based on an upcoming or recently released movie, regardless of how it will do. The material is untested.

Again, I agree with them releasing the Snow White cottage ahead of the movie. But I hope they continue releasing classic-based sets regardless of whether movies are coming or not.

Absolutely agree! I feel we're in such a highly critical climate nowadays that people are far too eager to criticise art and other things that require the effort to understand, but will easily approve and wave superficial trends and ideas. It's a shame really. I also hope that with what's going on with the live-actions that Lego will take priority in the classics a bit more.

I love Disney classics and I would love to get a Jungle Book temple set and the maleficent dragon diorama. However, I also like modern Disney films and I would love to get Rapunzel's tower or the floating lantern scene as a diorama, Tiana's bayou or Palace sets, San Fransokyo set, sugar rush set and, of course, Zootopia sets.

With the huge success of Zootopia 1, I hope we get several sets in 2025 for Zootopia 2:

- A small set for the elephant ice cream shop

-A small set for Gazelle's concert 

-A large size set for the police department 

 

Rapunzel and Tiana are my exceptions for modern films (Zootopia and Big Hero 6 too, but I put it in it's own category in my head). Rapunzel was the start for a trend of the adorkable and quirky, but at the time it was just her. Tiana is perfection, honestly - she makes me think more of the renaissance than modern films. Their films both stuck to more traditional values of Disney in my opinion; well-established dream, a protagonist who the audience relates with and not so much is a representation of the audience, and a clear and fleshed out villain.

I think DC might have a chance with Superman's new movie. But then again maybe not. I can see Lego holding back and not making as many sets for that film. It's the same even with Marvel, where Lego seems more interested in making sets for the Phase 1-3 movies than the new ones. 

Sorry, just to clarify because I think my comments were too confusing. Sally's new minifigure does have side leg printing and the original does too. So on both minifigs she does have printing on the sides of her legs. What the new Sally minifig is lacking is printing on her arms to depict her stitches and her legs are no longer dual molded. 

I use minifigs in the Ice Palace and thankfully the minifigs work just as well as the minidolls do. Since it's the only other unique Disney castle we have besides the Disney Parks Cinderella castle, it particularly stands out. The Oz minifigures would work better in this setting if we had an actual Glinda minifig though.

That's an interesting theory and quite believable. I think Lego is hoping that certain submissions they approve of can be popular enough to start a new theme. Like the Winnie the Pooh and Sesame Street sets, which were given a lot of new molds. We know the Lego designers talked about wanting to make more Winnie the Pooh sets and Sesame Street even had a place where the set could potentially connect to a future one. I was under the impression both sold well but the lack of any new extension sets makes me think otherwise. I guess not everything can end up as popular as the Friends set which did get a second set.

Jungle Book also has some of the original songs that are sung. Some people didn't like that because they felt it was rather jarring in the live-action format. But this was also before Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King, as the remakes at this point all didn't feature songs (Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent, Cinderella) so it might be less off-putting to watch it now after exposure to those films.

I completely agree with you on everything you said. Tbh, I didn't really like Encanto either. I watched it on Disney+ to see what all the hype was about and the songs didn't register with me, and nor did the characters. Especially the lead heroine who I felt was incredibly annoying and cut from the same mold as Rapunzel/Anna/Moana as being adorkable, which seems to be the only template Disney knows now for their heroines. Only the visuals were nice. Even from a story point of view, just when I thought the movie was really starting to pick up and would start the conflict is when the movie ended.

Agree with you entirely on all this too. Sadly the media only gives exposure to articles like "Cinderella Ate My Daughter" and Disney responds to that, rather than the defense from fans who point out that the classic princesses were much stronger than given credit for (and emotionally were much tougher than the new lot imo). How Ariel was already interested in the human world before meeting Eric, he was just the catalyst. How Snow White was orphaned and reduced from princess to scullery maid. At age 14, of course she'd be dreaming of a prince because having lost her family, her only hope at being raised back to her previous station in life and having someone to love her would be to marry. Even Walt Disney made the choice of making Snow White and the prince meet and fall in love before she falls asleep, but we still have some people claiming that Snow White's kiss is an act of assault because there's no consent. I suppose leaving her dead would be the best thing to do in that case, according to these critics. After The Lion King, I've stopped watching the remakes altogether.

We'll see if they do anything with Superman for DC - I also feel they may not do much with it. I've accepted it at this point.

So sorry for my confusion - it wasn't you, it was me. I'm pretty ill at the moment, so I definitely jumbled what you said in my head from being so out of it. Thank you for making the effort to clarify - you've still kept me interested in getting one!!! 😊

Sounds like I missed out on a cool set at this point by overlooking the ice palace, haha. Would love if they made a classic Glinda!

With what you've said about the ideas sets, it's quite similar to what the video said. A lot of set lines have the capability to be established, but Lego seems to not push the continuation. The video, in their opinion, theorised they're just there to bridge new fans into Lego; when there's profit to gain by introducing continuation, they will.

While I prefer no singing, I don't mind singing in the live-actions at the same time - I'm 50/50. I do find it odd, but I can adjust to it if songs are integrated well and meaningfully.

While I did like Enchanto, I do in fact agree with you and picked up on those things. I gave it a pass I guess for some reason. For me, it was just good - I didn't consider it to be a brilliant masterpiece, it was just an easy watch and less in my face about superficial notions/digs at classic films. I also wish they did more with the peak of the conflict - I think there was a lot of potential to confront Abuela about matters beyond just Mirabelle and unpack why someone might act like Abuela in a less glossed over way.

I'd say that the hate on the notion on princesses is more in line with more recent portrayals than the classic, as well as how Disney chooses to market all of them. While the classic princess are in some ways the 'epitome' of beauty, they are given genuine flaws and genuine troubles that the average person can experience - that they are not entirely perfect and, regardless of their status, are human. Elsa, Anna, so forth and so on, have this heavy emphasis on being pretty and princesses that I just never felt with the classics - not to mention, their flaws are superficial and draw on fantasy than reality. For example, Ariel who is not accepted for what she loves and wants to be has to conceal herself but actually lacks the control to do so for being so hurt and shunned to the point of being stubborn (in a good way, we all can be a bit stubborn) vs... Elsa, who shuns herself because of magical powers in fear of hurting others by getting out of control - yet, she willy-nilly doesn't see the damage of isolating family, especially people who want to understand, and hypocritically takes digs at people who blow their feelings on something/someone out of proportion???

As for people hating on the kiss to revive Snow White, likewise Aurora, they weren't solely romantic in intent. Yes a kiss itself is affection, but they were tied to the idea of pure love and genuine care in wanting to help them - TRUE love's kiss. And in being true love, a one-sided desire to kiss some one would not equate this - it would have to be a mutual experience that both parties have for one another for the kiss to work. Yes, neither princess could not sit up for a split second to consent, but true love can be both romantic or not and for the magic to work the kiss could not be based in taking advantage of someone.

The confusion with Snow White is semi Disney's fault - Florian was in fact meant to be locked in the dungeon by the Queen and, I believe, was meant to find out the cure for the sleeping death there. The idea was scrapped and instead used for Sleeping Beauty. So, from the get go, the kiss was not intended for him to be a creep but out of duty, but even without this explanation, I interpreted it as a kiss of reverence. Don't know about other cultures and other Italian families but, in my own, some people kiss the person whom has passed on the cheek, forehead, etc as a farewell. For this reason, I saw Florian's actions as an innocent farewell kiss. As for Aurora, Philip is outright told by Maleficient in her twisted plan that Aurora would only wake if they truly loved each other - why bother the kiss if he wasn't fairly certain they had something genuine?

Not sure which minidoll you are referring to, but I'm assuming Philip. I was trying to replicate him at some point but got caught up with other things. However, my attempts to replicate him were based off his design in the diorama leak. Either way, I believe I screenshotted various parts that would be suitable for replicating either the leaked version or the minidoll version. I can attach them if that is something you would like.

Lego seems wary of new properties in general now. Marvel sets for new movies get only a minimum of characters and sets. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was completely snubbed. 

I'm sorry to hear you've been ill. Hope you feel better soon! And you're welcome, I just wanted to make sure you knew what the Sally minifigs were like so you don't get one accidentally if it's not what you were expecting. I'm really not a big fan of TNBC but I think the dearth of Disney sets since last year (even with Snow White this year and both the Target and Lilo & Stich sets coming out later this year) has me more interested in this one. Also I played the Kingdom Hearts games for the first time this year and TNBC frequently pops up in those games, so it's fresh on my mind.

I was somewhat unsure about whether or not to get the Frozen castle but knowing it had only about a year left before it retired convinced me to get it. The original price was $200 I think and from what I can see online, even retired, you can find it for a little more than $200 on Ebay and other places. So if you ever decide you do want it, you might still be able to find it for a similar or at least decent price.

That's really a pity then that Lego introduces these new franchises or themes but then drops them beyond the initial set. I guess that marketing strategy works though but I heard the BTS set didn't sell as well as they thought so maybe it's not foolproof. I know the upcoming Twilight set got a lot of attention in the Twilight fandom though so that might be a winner for Lego. I'm still holding out hope that Winnie the Pooh gets more sets and minifigs but I think the original set is already retired now.

Good to know how you feel about singing in the live-action films. Most people felt The Jungle Book songs were out of place so you may feel similarly then. That reminds me that I've found it odd we haven't gotten Mowgli and Baloo as minifigs yet. Mowgli especially would be rather simple.

I think in my case because Encanto was hyped up so much online, I had very high expectations for it and they really didn't get met at all. I think also my fondness for Frozen is because I came in with very low expectations after hearing that Elsa was more or less a supporting character rather than the lead and that the film didn't follow The Snow Queen fairy tale at all. The script for Frozen was also released online about a month before release so I had read that and had a very bad impression of the movie so there was nowhere to go other than up when I actually saw it.

Interestingly enough, Kristen Bell, who plays Anna, said she couldn't relate to the classic princesses growing up and felt they were too perfect. That inspired her characterization of Anna to make her more clumsy and "relatable," although personally I think she gets more annoying especially in Frozen II. I guess different types of characters appeal to different people but I never had a problem connecting to the classic princesses. And I think while they still feel very human, they also fit the image of the archetypal fairy tale princesses with their beauty and grace, something which is lacking in the newer heroines. The newer ones come across as maybe too ordinary, like I could meet the average person on the street just like them. These new Disney characters feel lacking in magic as a result. I saw even on the comments for the Target Disney set that was just leaked that many felt there should have been more classic Disney representation over something like Encanto, so I don't think it's an entirely uncommon feeling.

Yes, good point that Snow White and Aurora both required true love's kiss and a regular kiss from just anyone else wouldn't have worked. With all the controversy over the kiss (there were people pushing for the Snow White ride at the Disney Parks to remove the kissing scene because it's apparently offensive), I'm just glad Lego didn't have a problem including Snow White's glass coffin in the cottage set. It's too bad we couldn't get something similar for Aurora in the dragon set with a proper bed for her.

Personally I think even without the abandoned subplot of Florian being held captive in the dungeon, the film still works. Like you said, it's a cultural thing to kiss a loved one goodbye after they've died. I don't know how people can find that offensive especially since I've heard of that in most cultures. Although that does remind me that Joanne Woodward won her Oscar for the film The Three Faces of Eve where she plays a woman with a multiple personality disorder. I think the movie was based on a real story and apparently the real life woman developed this personality disorder from the trauma of being forced by her mother to kiss her dead grandmother goodbye. So perhaps people should feel more concerned about Florian and Phillip's well-beings lol.

I would say that Lego is very timid nowadays on newer properties - either not engaging with them at all or cutting them off where they thing the success might dive for the worst. I think it's such a mindset that's stopping us from getting another Winnie The Pooh set, which I would love too as I missed out on the first.

Thank you for the well wishes! I do love TNBC but the set itself hasn't intrigued me beyond other sets not my style by comparison - and having Sally just in case I decide to ge TNBC set will save me quite a few dollars if she ever sky rockets.

For $200 retired, I'd say that's a decent price to get Elsa's castle. I'll have to think about it in addition to TNBC because it does look nice having actually given it a good look at 🤔 

I'll still give the new Jungle Book ago - I think having a more solid retelling than the later live-actions will be enough to forgive any awkward musicals (I'm sure they won't be that bad). And yes, where is Lego Mowgli and Baloo!!!???

That makes sense with your experiences. I think the over hype often kills it for me too with recent Disney films. Now that I think about it, I think I excused Enchanto because I watched it during covid and figured the hype was a mix of the very recent rise of Disney+ and knowing everyone was bored out of their witts ends. Had it come out today, I think the same amount hype would have felt more on the unwarranted side.

Looking at the original concept art of Frozen, I actually think a take on the Snow Queen was more intriguing. I honestly don't have much of an issue with Anna apart from being the "adorkable" prototype, but Elsa just annoyed me not just for over exposure but she just strayed too far into being markettable. Like yes there's all sorts of princess merch, but her dress felt more like something ready to be a modern day costume than the classic princess who had something I'd see as closer to actual princess attire that later gets an adapted outfit for kids. And as you said with recent princesses, she felt like any other person but given a crown and a royal title. Yes we shouldn't idealise and value people for titles, but it left me not admiring her for having her one overwhelming trait being pretty. She has other qualities, don't get me wrong, but to me the physical beauty aspect is in your face with how they designed her. Everyone else is great, I like Olaf, I like Kristoff - yeah Hans was a weird twist villain, but he was okay - and Anna was a bit more of the voice of reason in comparison to Elsa. Songs were good too, just over played.

It's sad that people get offended by small things that are just there as a sign of hope and happiness between two fictional people. Oh well - very happy that Lego still stuck to the kiss at least, which was an absolute yet happy shock for me. I agree it would be nice to have the same for Aurora.

Yes maybe we should be concerned for Florian and Philip haha (kidding of course). I totally get Joanne Woodward's experience - I think I've heard this as it rings a bell, but not sure. It is a very daunting experience, even for me despite being brought up around it. But hey, in Snow White and Sleeping Beauty they made sure that everyone got a happy ending out of it haha.

Maybe I‘m reading too much into it, but in his latest teaser, @TandNbricks hints at several things (donuts -> Simpsons, a fellowship -> LOTR, a man trying to find his way in the universe -> Jango Fett), one of which is „a tale as old as time“. Hmmmmmmm

I hope that's a reference towards a full Beauty and the Beast set and not just a nod to the recent leak... Though it sounds like those are mostly 2025 leaks (and I think it would be odd for both Lego and Disney to want one of their most popular princesses to permanently stay as a retail exclusive)

Those are all hints towards 2025 sets. Referencing a set that gets released in a few weeks wouldn‘t make any sense

The family hint is also interesting. F4 or F&F? ^^

Or - since this is the Disney thread - the Madrigal Family? Again, it'd be weird if Bruno was the only minifig from Encanto, and Gaston eventually is getting Belle so he's not alone.

[BacktoBricks]

I know we've already heard about the Lilo house, but the family hint could be Lilo and Stitch? Ohana means family. Or the Madrigals would make sense with the Bruno minifigure. Probably too soon to be seeing sets based on the Parr family seeing as we don't have a release date for Incredibles 3 yet.

I think you might have solved it!  It already being a known rumour doesn‘t matter since we‘ve known about the Simpsons set for a while now too, same as Jango‘s helmet.

[Aramar]

It's interesting to hear about the tale as old as time thing. Beauty and the Beast is my favourite film, so I can't wait to hear more. What kind of set would you like to get? 

Beast's castle seems to me the only option for a set to include all characters, but I'm afraid such a set would be too large and therefore expensive. All other sets that I can think of would miss someone:

-Gaston's tavern (Gaston, Lefou, Maurice)

-Belle's cottage (Belle, Maurice, Gaston, Lefou)

-Ballroom (Belle, Beast and maybe Maurice if the Beast comes in his human form too)

-Library (Belle, Beast)

-Be our guest (Belle)

Also, I hope that if we get a Beauty and the Beast set, we get a good Lumiere and Cogsworth too. I don't like any of their iterations in the minidoll sets.

The Ballroom is easily the most iconic scene from the movie, and should make for an interesting display set. Yes, it would be missing Gaston, but besides Snow White, every Disney set has been missing someone or something. Plus, if we are assuming that the yellow dress is going to be reused, that's the only scene she wears it besides the very end (but that doesn't make any sense for a scene). If she was in her regular peasant wear, it would open up more doors, but that's what I'd put my money on for now.

I am not sure abou Belle and Maurice’s cottage with Gastron and LeFou. But we do need the Beast and the gang, such as lumbered, cogsworth, ms. Potts and chip.

Hi all. 1st time poster here, long time reader! 

So, I'm a minifigure collector and I'm very keen to get the Disney 100 celebration when it comes out

 I've read that it's a Target set. Does this mean that it'll only be available in Target stores or will it be widely available in Lego stores or online globally? Could be a bit of a trek to get to a Target store! 

Thanks!

It will be available on s@h and in LEGO stores as well  All the Target-exclusivity means is that it's the only retailer to carry it ^^

I would say that Lego is very timid nowadays on newer properties - either not engaging with them at all or cutting them off where they thing the success might dive for the worst. I think it's such a mindset that's stopping us from getting another Winnie The Pooh set, which I would love too as I missed out on the first.

Thank you for the well wishes! I do love TNBC but the set itself hasn't intrigued me beyond other sets not my style by comparison - and having Sally just in case I decide to ge TNBC set will save me quite a few dollars if she ever sky rockets.

For $200 retired, I'd say that's a decent price to get Elsa's castle. I'll have to think about it in addition to TNBC because it does look nice having actually given it a good look at 🤔 

I'll still give the new Jungle Book ago - I think having a more solid retelling than the later live-actions will be enough to forgive any awkward musicals (I'm sure they won't be that bad). And yes, where is Lego Mowgli and Baloo!!!???

That makes sense with your experiences. I think the over hype often kills it for me too with recent Disney films. Now that I think about it, I think I excused Enchanto because I watched it during covid and figured the hype was a mix of the very recent rise of Disney+ and knowing everyone was bored out of their witts ends. Had it come out today, I think the same amount hype would have felt more on the unwarranted side.

Looking at the original concept art of Frozen, I actually think a take on the Snow Queen was more intriguing. I honestly don't have much of an issue with Anna apart from being the "adorkable" prototype, but Elsa just annoyed me not just for over exposure but she just strayed too far into being markettable. Like yes there's all sorts of princess merch, but her dress felt more like something ready to be a modern day costume than the classic princess who had something I'd see as closer to actual princess attire that later gets an adapted outfit for kids. And as you said with recent princesses, she felt like any other person but given a crown and a royal title. Yes we shouldn't idealise and value people for titles, but it left me not admiring her for having her one overwhelming trait being pretty. She has other qualities, don't get me wrong, but to me the physical beauty aspect is in your face with how they designed her. Everyone else is great, I like Olaf, I like Kristoff - yeah Hans was a weird twist villain, but he was okay - and Anna was a bit more of the voice of reason in comparison to Elsa. Songs were good too, just over played.

It's sad that people get offended by small things that are just there as a sign of hope and happiness between two fictional people. Oh well - very happy that Lego still stuck to the kiss at least, which was an absolute yet happy shock for me. I agree it would be nice to have the same for Aurora.

Yes maybe we should be concerned for Florian and Philip haha (kidding of course). I totally get Joanne Woodward's experience - I think I've heard this as it rings a bell, but not sure. It is a very daunting experience, even for me despite being brought up around it. But hey, in Snow White and Sleeping Beauty they made sure that everyone got a happy ending out of it haha.

 

Your take on Lego's policy now sounds very accurate. And that's a shame you missed out on the Winnie the Pooh set. I'm seeing that on Ebay prices for it go from $125-150 which isn't too bad since the original price was $100. Between that and Frozen, I don't know which property you have a closer personal attachment to, but my personal recommendation would be for the Winnie the Pooh set. It looks excellent next to the Snow White cottage. The trees at the top are also a nice place to put Pocahontas, if you don't mind mixing movies, as a throwback to her "strange clouds" scene when she first sees John Smith's ship from the top of Grandmother Willow.

Yes, I'm with you there and definitely recommend grabbing Sally while she's still cheap in case you ever change your mind. I wish I had done that for Jack years ago because he used to be quite cheap but I didn't think I would ever want him.

I will say that the Frozen Castle looks excellent in person. Especially since I love light blue and white so those colors in particular appeal to me. The lack of any real Frozen minifigs to populate the castle (outside of the CMF Elsa and Anna) is a drawback though. Although the brick-built Olaf works with both minidolls and minifigs.

If you ever get around to watching the live-action Jungle Book, I'd love to read your thoughts!

Maybe if it hadn't been for COVID and TikTok, Encanto would have ended up more like Raya and the Last Dragon. Completely forgotten and glossed over.

I've always loved The Snow Queen fairy tale so I would have preferred a more accurate adaptation rather than one barely even inspired by it. I liked Anna's wardrobe especially since her clothes were mainly historically and culturally accurate. Elsa's dress really looks like something off the fashion runway. But I guess there's a reason Elsa merchandise sells exponentially more. I think they made Elsa more stunning beautiful because she was originally the villain and only rehauled into being good after Let It Go was written. It started off as a villain song before the filmmakers felt it was more of an empowering anthem. After that, she became more of a plot device than character so to contrast her with Anna, the more relatable and quirky heroine, they needed Elsa to look more gorgeous and act more graceful and regal. That being said, a lot of the things I liked from the first movie were terribly treated in the second one. I enjoyed Olaf, liked Anna, and tolerated Kristoff in the first movie. In Frozen II, I found Olaf wasn't funny anymore, Anna was plain annoying, and Kristoff just there for the sake of being there. I don't think it's a coincidence that we haven't gotten any Frozen II minifigs either because it seems like the sequel's merch never sold as well as the first movie's.

The funny thing is that for several months before the Snow White set was revealed, there was some speculation on whether or not the glass coffin might be included. Most people were absolutely convinced Lego wouldn't go in that direction to depict a "dead" character.

100% agree!

It's interesting to hear about the tale as old as time thing. Beauty and the Beast is my favourite film, so I can't wait to hear more. What kind of set would you like to get? 

Beast's castle seems to me the only option for a set to include all characters, but I'm afraid such a set would be too large and therefore expensive. All other sets that I can think of would miss someone:

I always wanted a village set, sorta like the Diagon Alley Harry Potter sets. A D2C set featuring all the major buildings and shops. The baker's, the bookshop, Gaston's tavern, the fountain where Belle reads to the sheep, and of course Maurice's cottage with his inventions. And minifig wise, we could get Belle in her blue dress, Gaston again, LeFou, Maurice, the Bimbettes, and maybe some of the villagers like the baker and librarian.

Not sure which minidoll you are referring to, but I'm assuming Philip. I was trying to replicate him at some point but got caught up with other things. However, my attempts to replicate him were based off his design in the diorama leak. Either way, I believe I screenshotted various parts that would be suitable for replicating either the leaked version or the minidoll version. I can attach them if that is something you would like.

Yes, mainly Prince Philip. But perhaps Hans and Kristoff from Frozen as well. Any ideas?

I hope that's a reference towards a full Beauty and the Beast set and not just a nod to the recent leak... Though it sounds like those are mostly 2025 leaks (and I think it would be odd for both Lego and Disney to want one of their most popular princesses to permanently stay as a retail exclusive)

I feel like Beauty and the Beast is a low-hanging fruit after they release that Disney 100 set. Gaston in the Villains set, then now Belle by herself in a 'generic' set. Where is Beast? B&B is a major fairy tale in the Disney collection but so far, it has had incremental representation in Lego form. It think this is one theme Lego could successfully exploit in the next few sets. (I would qualify however, that if Lego does go this pathway, Sleeping Beauty will be the one left out since they canceled the Maleficent Dragon set.)

Or - since this is the Disney thread - the Madrigal Family? Again, it'd be weird if Bruno was the only minifig from Encanto, and Gaston eventually is getting Belle so he's not alone.

It would be great for both Beauty and the Beast and Encanto to complete their main character minifig rosters!

To be fair, I think Beauty and the Beast has an easier roster to complete.

Belle in blue dress, Beast in ballroom outfit, Beast in cape, Maurice, Lefou, (Beast in human form if the ballroom version isn't able to switch)

The Madrigal Family only has 1/12 so far. While not every family member is popular, it begs to question of who makes the cut or not. Mirabel, Luisa, Isabella, and Abuela come to mind as ones we definately need but Antonio, Dolores, Peppa, and Camillo are fan favorites in their won rights as well.

Well, I was thinking that B&B only needed one more character at a minimum to meet a milestone: Beast. We are getting Belle in her yellow dress, then Lumiere, Mrs. Pots, etc can just be the brick built ones from the Friends line.

They can offer human versions of the enchanted objects as well. Since we see Lumiere, Cogsworth, Fifi, Mrs. Potts, and Chip as humans by the end. Plus Sultan in dog form.

100% agree!

I might do exactly that and get the Winnie The Pooh set before Elsa's palace. I'd love both, but I think currently I might be able to get away with the tree house with the small space I have left over the castle. I'd also be having to place it with Snow White's cottage, so it definitely would be better suited. I'd love to pose Pocahontas in the trees for that very scene!!! That is such a clever little nod - thank you! Currently have Snow White's cottage right next to the colours of the wind easter egg area, and I'll probably be putting the treehouse there and shuffling the cottage over - so it will definitely work!

I have the minifigures ready to go for the ice castle, so I'm more than happy to get it - just definitely a case of finding the space. Ideally, I would love to put it on the otherside of the castle (currently can't) and create a little MOC of a frozen lake/bridge from the water of Cinderella's castle.

I'll certainly let you know when I watch it. I might give it a go tonight depending on if my partner is willing to watch it with me, or I will watch it on my own tomorrow morning while still home recovering. I also agree that I think Enchanto could have likely dipped out of everyone's attention like Raya if it weren't for covid - a movie which I haven't watched so I completely get your point.

I do like the story of the Snow Queen. There was a live-action non-Disney movie that I watched, probably of the same name of the tale, and I actually remember loving the concept. I didn't realise Frozen drew on it until much later after watching it, and do wish they took a bit more inspiration. I do absolutely adore Anna's outfit - they also strike me as a princess attire even when it comes to her simple winter outfit. It's just a clean and sensical design. Elsa is very much runway vibes haha - I do love the ice-centric design, I applaud that, but it just doesn't scream princess to me. It does however make sense now why there's such attention put on Elsa's beauty when drawing back to her being originally a villain - also considering that the Snow Queen is a symbol of temptation. 

I haven't watched the sequel to be honest. Quite scared of anything with a sequel nowadays 😆 I just want to preserve what I remember enjoying. Overall I did like Frozen. My only major-ish issue was Elsa's "motives" and the amount of praise she was getting in terms of being more complex than existing princess. Now, if I were to watch the sequel and experience firsthand what you felt, which I think I would, it would change Frozen for me in a bad way which I don't want. I'm grateful for the warnings, but I'm also sorry that the sequel was what it was for you.

I don't know about the Frozen characters at this point in time, but with Philip here are a few pieces you can use but you will need to make adjustments to them.

As I said earlier, I drew on the leaked diorama version, where he is clearly using Shaggy's hair with a dark grey torso, dark grey legs with dual molded black boots - and of course, his red cape. At the moment I've used Venkman's head, but I might change this to Jim Halpert. I've picked out a torso the closest to what Philip wears, but you will need to use a clean eraser to remove certain details - I've included edited photos to show you what to remove. If this doesn't work for you, I've included a custom drawing of mine as to how I think the minifigure Philip might have looked in my opinion. You might be able to use this a guide to find other pieces.

I also very much adore this!! Honestly, I would love having these sub-iconic locations in addition to Beast's castle. I can imagine laying them out to have a mini world, and it would be amazing to be able to do this for every film if it was all possible and I had the space.

...Or maybe I'm just a little Disney-crazed for thinking that 😆

Yes, thankfully Pooh's house doesn't take up much space at all so it's an easy fit. And I'm a major Pooh fan so in fact, it's the set that got me into Lego Disney. I have the original castle over the new one. I'm happy with that since I prefer the original castle but one thing I do wish it had from the new one is the foliage area dedicated to Pocahontas. I liked that a bit of greenery was included in the castle to provide a forest area that could also work for a character like Bambi. As of now, I have no place to put characters like Bambi and Pocahontas which is why I stuck her at the top of the treehouse lol. Your arrangement sounds like a perfect fit!

The ice castle is definitely worth it and I think you'll be a big fan whenever you do get it. I love the idea of a frozen lake/bridge leading from Cinderella castle to the ice palace! Please post pics if you ever get that made! 

Glad to hear you're recovering. At least it gives you the excuse to be able to lay down and watch some entertainment. I saw Raya once it was free on Disney+ but even then, it took me a few months to get around to it because I was in no hurry. I did enjoy it but it's a very rushed film. If you've ever seen Game of Thrones or Avatar: The Last Airbender, imagine all those seasons worth of episodes and all that story but now crammed into a 1.5 hour film. That's basically Raya. I liked it more than most, and that's coming from someone who generally hasn't cared for Disney's output since Bob Iger took over, but I agree it's a very messy film and most people could not connect to it. The theme in particular was rather polarizing with people feeling it was a rather dangerous lesson to impart. I can see why the film hasn't had much of a legacy and I'd be more surprised if Lego ever made a Raya minifigure than if they didn't. One pro for her as a character is that she's a least a departure from Disney's recent mold for princesses...that being said, she's basically a MCU heroine like Black Widow or Gamora 2.0.

If I hadn't been following the production of Frozen, I wouldn't have had any idea it was based on The Snow Queen either. The final film basically takes nothing from the movie. There's a lot of Russian adaptations for The Snow Queen since it's very popular there, including a classic animated movie from the 50s which was also an inspiration for Hayao Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli films. I've seen some live-action Snow Queen films as well, including a TV one with Bridget Fonda. I also really like Anna's winter outfit which is basically a peasant outfit but is so nice and colorful with the fuchsia pink and blue. Elsa's dress design has gotten a bit old though since every Frozen spinoff basically gives us a recolored version of it.

I don't blame you for avoiding the sequel. The fact it didn't get an Oscar nomination is another red flag. It was very divisive when it comes to critics but also the fandom. I won't spoil anything beyond that but the main thing the film does is give Elsa the spotlight (at the cost of the other characters), which some people felt was making up for the original film's lack of focus on her as a protagonist. However, if you already have issues with how Elsa was hailed as being better than the other princesses, then Frozen II's treatment of her vs Anna will not appeal to you. The music is just okay but not nearly as good as the first film's songs, outside of Elsa's two solo songs. Since you favor Anna, then I definitely don't recommend it because this film was clearly not made to boost her character and in fact, the movie made me outright dislike her so that's how bad her character assassination was. You should stay clear from it at all costs lol.

Your custom Phillip has a great design! Thanks for sharing! I do wish Shaggy's hair came in reddish brown rather than just nougat since I think nougat is a little too light for Phillip's hair. Maybe one day we'll get that piece in the right color.

Yes, I'd love an idea like that where you could have sets that create each Disney movie world! Although between the price and space, maybe it's better Lego holds off on those extra sets lol. There are some Disney map books that feature maps from each movie's world and your idea sounds very similar to that, case in point this BATB example below.

Nice to see official pics. I still have some gripes though.

Geppetto's legs could have used printing to portray his shoes and stockings. Not happy they went with plain black legs. Would have preferred they waited to make him in a CMF series.

Lilo needed dual molded arms to portray her sleeves. She doesn't wear a sleeveless dress. 

Simba feels like he comes straight out of a Friends set. A lot like the Lucifer from the Disney Princess sets. Way too cartoony.

Belle's minifigure looks good and thankfully doesn't have the annoying sparkles they put on all the princesses last year. But the recycled head is annoying.

I don't know why Mickey is missing a mouth. At least they didn't throw sparkles on him like they did on his CMF minifigure.
