5 Things Disneys New I Want Songs Are MISSING @CalxiynCaresTooMuch

Calxiyn Cares Too Much Between 'This Wish' from Wish, 'Beyond' from Moana 2, and 'Waiting On A Wish' from the new live action Snow White - Disney CANNOT make a good 'I Want' song lately. But why? What does an 'I Want' song need in order to work not only for the plot, but also for the viewer to get emotionally invested? By comparing old Disney to New Disney, we are covering 5 questions every 'I Want' song must answer, and 5 tools that writers use to do it (or... not do it 💀)! This video is all about character building and storytelling as we dive into why Disney was so magical and how they've lost their magic!

00:00 - Why make a musical anyway?
02:12 - Tool 1. Every (compelling) Disney lead has THIS in common
07:46 - Tool 2. We always see characters DO THIS
13:00 - Tool 3. Characters must express a willingness to...
17:25 - Tool 4. What makes us care?
21:46 - Secret Tool 5. What new Disney movies FAIL to do
24:48 - NEVER Make this mistake

Everyone is WRONG About Disney’s Princess Problem

Calxiyn Cares Too Much 2025-09-30 | EVERYONE is WRONG about Disney's Princess Problem - it's not an Adorkable or 'Quirky Heroine' problem at all! And for Calxiyn Cares Too Much, KPop Demon Hunters was the key to figuring out what the actual problem with Disney's new princesses really is. We will reveal what the REAL problem is with Disney's Heroines, and how this ruins not just the characters, but the movies in three huge ways. What makes Rumi so different compared to Asha, Moana, Anna, and even Elsa and Tiana? Let's unpack all of that in this Disney video essay!

Calxiyn Cares Too Much is a professional musical theatre performer and songwriter who makes video essays about Disney Animated Movies. This video talks about movies such as KPop Demon Hunters, Wish, Moana 2, Frozen 2, Frozen, Tiana, and Tangled, but it also discusses The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame from the Disney Renaissance. This video will cover the villain and hero dynamic written about in the Disney Villain Bible written by Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas, as well as three huge ways that the disruption of this dynamic ends up sucking the magic out of Disney's movies. Through comparing the new heroines to Rumi in KPop Demon Hunters, we will reveal how the problem goes deeper than just 'Adorkable', and that Disney does not have an 'Adorkable' problem, but a VICTIM problem!

Calxiyn Cares Too Much 2025-08-17 | Disney and Pixar WILL NOT learn from the success of KPop Demon Hunters... because they can't! Because the secret to KPop Demon Hunters' success is more complicated than you think. With KPop Demon Hunters becoming a global hit, Disney fans are hoping that Disney will learn an important lesson, their excuses about audiences no longer wanting original stories proving to be completely false. But Calxiyn Cares Too Much will reveal why Disney can't, why their own art form of the animated movie musical has been experiencing a slow, soulless, painful downfall, and what KPop Demon Hunters did so differently that goes beyond what we saw on screen.

00:00 - No one is talking about the SECRET to KPDH's Success
01:46 - Why Pixar and Elio are completely Irrelevant
05:32 - Why Disney Cannot Re-Create KPDH's Success
06:57 - Production Hell: Why Disney's Musicals are flopping
16:14 - How Pixar Ruined The Disney Formula
28:02 - KPop Demon Hunters' Production SECRETS

This video will cover the soulless death of the Disney movie musical, what is happening to Disney movies in the present day, why Disney songs suck so bad lately, and who is responsible for this downfall. This video will also dive into why KPop Demon Hunters was so successful from the standpoint of creating a good musical, and their creative process compared to Disney's. It goes beyond Disney's musical reluctance or Hollywood's musical problem - it is much worse than you think! And I hope this video will finally be able to expose it all!

The Problem With Pixar Is Bigger Than Elio...

Calxiyn Cares Too Much 2025-07-07 | Is Pixar dying? Did Disney ruin the Pixar brand? Or did Pixar ruin Disney? Calxiyn and Hunter discuss why they think Pixar is struggling, and Cal explains her shocking hot-take: that Pixar was doomed from the very beginning. The news about Elio's production sheds light on Pixar's problems in a way that is very similar to the Calxiyn Cares Too Much exposé about the Downfall of Disney's Movie Musicals. And in a similar way to the Lilo and Stitch remake, higher-ups seemed to prioritize audience 'comfort' over telling a sincere, heartfelt story.

0:00 - Elio's Production Was A Disaster
1:15 - How Elio's Femininity and Softness got erased
5:14 - You can't have a movie that is afraid to say anything
10:32 - How Disney and Pixar make films that are about 'totally nothing'
13:22 - Here's what Pixar and Disney don't understand about their business...
15:12 - Hunter's theory about why Pixar is dying
25:42 - Calxiyn's theory: Pixar was doomed from the start, here's why
37:11 - Did Disney ruin Pixar? Or did Pixar ruin Disney?

Calxiyn Cares Too Much is a professional musical theatre performer and songwriter who makes video essays about Disney Movies. This is NOT a review of the Lilo and Stitch 2025 Remake, rather, it is a video essay discussing the moral failure of the movie, how it is a sanitized, cinematic lobotomy, how it betrays the source material and devalues the meaning of Ohana, and how Disney's fake 'girlboss' era has now gone beyond just the Disney Princess Franchise. This video will break down the controversy, the changes that were made to the movie, and why so many fans are upset. It will also discuss the erasure and sanitization of key character traits and cultural themes. It is MUCH worse than you think, making movies like Wish and the Snow White Remake look good by comparison. So let's talk about everything wrong with the Lilo and Stitch Remake together!

I Regret Believing This Lie For So Long As An Artist

How The Snow White Live Action Ruined Her Prince

Calxiyn Cares Too Much 2025-04-11 | 'Princess Problems' from the new live-action Snow White is now my most hated Disney song - shallow, vapid, and bordering on cruel, Disney will pat themselves on the back for making a Princess who "doesn't dream of true love" and "won't be saved by the man", but in the same movie, create a male love interest who takes huge steps backwards compared to the 1930s animated prince. This Video Essay will break down the problems with Jonathan's characterization from multiple angles (promise/progress/payoff, likeability/competence/initiative) and explain the problem with Disney's Leading Men beyond just this movie.

04:21 - How Jonathan Wastes Our Time (Storytelling/Lyric Issues)
09:00 - Why Jonathan Is So Easy To Hate (Storytelling/Lyric Issues)
12:13 - Snow White Won't Be "Saved By The Prince" But Her Abuse Will Be Minimized By This Chronic Mansplainer

Are we hating or are you just mindlessly consuming? #Moana2 #Mufasa #Wish

Calxiyn Cares Too Much 2025-03-28 | In honour of Moana 2 and Mufasa being out on Disney Plus - and people who didn't even pay for the movie trying to tell me how I should feel about it - I'm bringing this out of the vault. "Y'all are just being negative nancys" "everyone was hating for no reason", some people need to hear this... again.

Join Calxiyn Cares Too Much for a breakdown of the news as well as an in-depth discussion and analysis about how Disney's own 'creative philosophies' and methods of production are sabotaging itself, the erasure of age-appropriate media for ages 7-14, why the direct-to-dvd era was so important - and how this is all not only going to impact musical theatre songwriters, but you, the audience!

How Disney Betrayed Snow Whites Vocal Identity

Calxiyn Cares Too Much 2025-02-07 | EVERYONE has made videos about Disney's New Live Action Snow White (2025) - but no one is actually talking about the movie's biggest problem. This is something that goes beyond bad hair styling, ugly costumes and terrible acting. This is about how the music in musical theatre is a manifestation of the heart and soul of a character - and how through this new music, Disney is perpetuating the harmful messages to young girls they are claiming they are progressing past. Join Calxiyn Cares Too Much for this Video Essay about Disney's failed attempts to "fix" the Disney Princesses, the extinction of the ingénue, and through that, the death of the sincerity that made Disney magical.

00:00 - What actually makes the Snow White remake so bad?
1:26 - How Disney ruins their own morals and messages
7:54 - Why is Snow White's music like this?
13:46 - Are ingénues not 'strong female characters'?
18:26 - Why can't we be Heroes AND Princesses?

What's really shocking to me is that there actually aren't any articles exploring the topic of legit sopranos becoming scarce or if the Elphabization of belting is intertwined with how women in musical theatre are written. If you look this up you'll find some interesting conversations on Reddit and Broadway World to read through, you'll also find threads titled things like "Is there still a place for sopranos in MT?" on other websites. I can't link to those websites because I can't vouch for the content on them, but I feel like this needs to be researched. We can't let the Coloratura Soprano's be abandoned to the past when we can bring them into the future instead!

Calxiyn Cares Too Much is a professional musical theatre performer and songwriter who makes video essays about Disney Animated Movies. This video talks about movies such as Wish, Moana 2, Frozen 2, Frozen, and Tangled, but it also discusses The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame from the Disney Reinassance. This video will cover the soulless death of the Disney movie musical, what is happening to Disney movies in the present day, why Disney songs suck so bad lately, and who is responsible for this downfall. If you would like to watch a video about why Disney's 'I Want' songs suck, I have a video about that in particular on this channel. This video is not just about the songs themselves, but how the changes to the creative process at Disney is causing the movies to become worse. It goes beyond Disney's musical reluctance or Hollywood's musical problem - it is much worse than you think! And I hope this video will finally be able to expose it all!

No, Spellbound Is NOT Brainwashing Children | Reading ONE STAR Reviews

Calxiyn Cares Too Much 2024-12-15 | In this video, we are looking at why these One-Star Reviewers think NOT just that Spellbound is bad, but that Spellbound is "exactly what's wrong with the world today"... apparently. In a hopefully informative and humourous video about fairytales, media literacy, musical theatre history and ✨ themes ✨, Calxiyn Cares Too Much is going to unpack all of that™️.

00:00 - Spellbound "Controversy" (getting slammed by irresponsible parents everywhere)
3:30 - "BuT mEH FaIRYTaLeS" (Fairytale themes, Consumption vs Art + More)
20:09 - "This traumatized my children" (Bad Parents)
32:27 - "This movie my children saw exactly one time brainwashed them and impacted their beliefs more than my parenting I guess" (Aka 'everything is part of a conspiracy against me personally')

Moana 2 is WORSE than WISH & im NOT Joking: A Songwriters Review & Discussion

Calxiyn Cares Too Much 2024-11-28 | Moana 2 Is WORSE Than Wish and it's so shocking that Calxiyn brought Hunter on to help her discuss this forgettable, cringe, "nothing" movie. We are going to discuss everything from the animation, pacing, plot, characterization, and songs in as much detail as we can remember... which is a very daunting task considering how forgettable this movie is. What went so wrong with Moana 2? Why is it such a bland, mediocre sequel to the original? Calxiyn Cares Too Much is on the case!
