Why does Disney hate crossing over their properties? I remember hearing about this from Kingdom Hearts, but apparently it even extends to television shows and theme parks. Apparently, you can't have Disney characters that aren't "neutral" (Mickey and Co.) crossover with other properties unless it's on neutral territory. (To go back to KH as an example, all of the villain scenes were in Hollow Bastion in KH1. Similarly, the princesses also only interacted there.)
My question is why? Why limit the stories you can tell like that? It feels needlessly restrictive.
I mentioned neutral characters. Though, for some reason, this seemed to include Maleficent despite her being from Sleeping Beauty. Jafar is on his home world, at least.

>what is ralph breaks the internet >what is house of mouse
it's probably to avoid brand dilution for the individual trademarks
Carter Reyes
was any of it about how the timelines don't line up?
Asher Murphy
I haven't seen WiR2, admittedly, and can't comment on how they're used there, but House of Mouse is considered neutral territory. It's just a Mickey Mouse club, so they're fine with that.
Jason Nguyen
Phinas and Ferb had a marvel crossover
Jack Williams
In WIR2 they were on the Disney website, which again, is also neutral territory.
Isaac Wright
i always thought it was because each movie takes place in different eras, locations, and some characters are based off of real people that it wouldn't make sense for crossovers.
Jacob Garcia
i ship it
Xavier Morales
Mechanicles exists, so obviously Greece exists so he can call himself "greatest of the great Greek geniuses".
Owen Campbell
I thought he was the "last" of the great greek geniuses.
Parker Clark
Didn't it also have a Star wars crossover?
Thomas Reyes
A few background characters from Gravity Falls were stuck into the Mina Loveberry episode of Star Vs.
Colton Jackson
This was pretty rushed and would've made a great two parter with an episode on each show.
Carter Garcia
The Lilo and Stich show had crossovers with the Proud Family, Kim Possible, Recess, and The American Dragon.
And they really had to push for Recess, because it had been cancelled for years.
John Reyes
Did they fuck?
Juan Stewart
In the case of kingdom hearts I'm sure they felt that was some kind of world building to the Disney universe
Noah Ward
Except Aladdin's show had long since ended by the time Hercules got his.
Tyler Phillips
Lilo & Stitch was Disney trying to ride the Pokemon train.
Jacob Anderson
Wait, what kind of school takes kids on a field trip to Hawaii?
Carson Lewis
Correct me if I'm wrong but there was a series of books where the villains from one of the park rides came to life and a group of teens had to fight them.
I would watch the shit of another House of Mouse if it meant more interactions.
Easton Jackson
Do they mistake Jake Long for an experiment?
Levi Murphy
No that was Rufus
Sebastian Sullivan
Quick post the meme where they used that hentai where White Skinned Aladdin is getting his dick sucked by Hercules
Does anyone remember that fucking episode of Aladdin where their heads come off and float around? All I remember is that it felt weirdly sexual. It felt like some weird fetish or some shit.
>that one episode where Jasmin transformed into naga
Ethan Wright
thank God im not the only one
Jordan Turner
Jafar and Maleficent are a hell of a power couple so much so that in villain get together like House of Mouse they seem to get paired almost immediately. I really dig it honestly.
Juan Gonzalez
I think there is some actual weird internal politics. Disney Infinity also had strict rules that say you can’t play a story campaign with characters that don’t belong in that universe
