It has been said this song sounds like a Disney song which gave me an idea.
How would you feel if Disney or Cartoon Network tried to make an direct to video PG-13 level epic fantasy cartoon filled with tragedy, heroism, romance, and politics with the goal of making Western animation's equivalent of LOTR or Game of Thrones?
Or adults still can't take animated characters seriously unless they are comedic characters?
Would that be a bad idea? Would a more lighthearted Final Fantasy like story be better suited for this setting and medium?

Cartoon Network already created an epic fantasy.
It's called: Samurai Jack
Watch out!

As long as they invent and create their own universe/franchise and characters for it, they can do whatever they fucking want!

Cartoon Network already created an epic fantasy. It's called: Samurai Jack Watch out! except it's not epic, it's a procedural about Jack's everyday life, goofy and heavy on cheese.

Disney is too cutesy for anything like that. An opinion shared by Tolkien after he and C.S.Lewis saw Snow White together. The two friends and authors both had a poor opinion of Disney. "Tolkien’s opinion of Disney didn’t get any better over the years. In a number of letters dated after his Snow White date with Lewis, Tolkien refers to Disney’s works as “vulgar.” Tolkien also believed that fairy tales had become hopelessly infantilized, noting in his 1947 essay On Fairy-Stories that “the association of children and fairy-stories is an accident of our domestic history.” "Years later, in a 1964 letter to a Miss J.L. Curry at Stanford University, likely spurred on by the controversy surrounding Disney’s treatment of Mary Poppins, Tolkien further laid bare his true feelings on Disney’s work. He described Disney’s talent as “hopelessly corrupted,” writing, “Though in most of the ‘pictures’ proceeding from his studios there are admirable or charming passages, the effect of all of them is to me disgusting. Some have given me nausea…” He goes on to call Disney a “cheat,” noting that while he too had a profit motive behind his work, he wouldn’t stoop to working with Disney." Taken from Atlas Obscura "The Movie Date That Solidified J.R.R. Tolkien’s Dislike of Walt Disney" ArticleBTW, I also find Disney nauseating. Epic fantasy and Rodent Corp are a bad mix.

I would take Tolkien's dislike of Disney more seriously if it wasn't centred seemingly on Disney's portrayal of dwarves *rolls eyes*

I’m just picturing Tolkien and Lewis sitting in a theater balcony, heckling Snow White like Stalter and Waldorf.
