Everyone knows Disney's newest shows and movies can't compare to the originial. I think I found some key problems to help them out.
1) There is no rule that says you have to make a sequal for everything. Sequals can ruin the original. Really, I mean sometimes there's nothing more you can do with a story. Perfect example: High School Musical. Really? Do you need two sequals? No. Of course, most people who would like the original High School Musical wouldn't care about sequals, but it's enough to annoy those of us who don't even like the movies! Don't risk ruining everything with a sequal!
2) Marketing is important, sure, but I want to be able to go into Target or Wal Mart or Macy's or any other story without seeing Hannah Montana, Camp Rock, High School Musical, Wizards of Waverly Place, etc. It gets annoying and people get so sick of the stuff, they want to stop watching. Please give us a break from seeing the Jonas Brothers in every store.
3) Miley Cyrus. She's not a perfect little angle. She doesn't have music most people want to hear. Kids may like Hannah Montana, but they outgrow her quickly. I don't think anybody likes Miley Cyrus. Maybe a few kids. Maybe.
So Disney, get back to the good classics. Please don't over sell everything. Don't overuse or make a sequal for something just because you think you have a hit. Please, for the sake of all of us who remember the classics. Callie

Commercials that sell?
Am I the only one who notices some weird things that really shouldn't be happening in our commercials? For example, an anti-depresant which can increase suicidal thoughts. Or that medicines seem to have many side effects that the guy at the end of the commercial is saying so fast nobody can keep up? How about the fact that the Dreamie is a super-long blanket and nothing special? Or what about how people know if I really saw their commercial and am calling in time for that special offer "Call in the next 10 minutes and we'll send you..." I mean, really. Can't people sell it to us straight? How do I know it works if you have a paid actor telling me it does. They're actors! They say what they're paid to and convincingly. And why do those guys on the commercials always have to have lound annoying voices? Does shouting make it a better product? "Call now! But wait, there's more!" Give me a break! If you have such a great product, pitch it to me plan and simple so I know it works. Callie
