Disney has had to deal with waves of competitors in animation and eras where they were the only game in town. If anything, now is one of the more competitive eras.
I would also note that a large part of building Anime as an industry was a combination of crunch time and using methods to reduce the cost of animation.
That's basic economic theory to prices. For prices to down in an elastic market, either supply needs to increase or demand needs to decrease.
Answering the can everyone do this question, the dip usually implies that everyone cannot do this.
The dip implies a drop in demand that is causing prices to dip.
Something that I can wear everyday but trust for activities that require more durability.
I do like Dickies.
I like Uniqlo shirts, but I've found their pants to be more hit or miss.
A decent brand. It doesn't need overpriced fabrics.
But would a cover require the original score?
There was a famous remix of Jay-Z's Black Album called the Gray Album that used Jay-Z's vocals against samples from the Beatles' White Album. It is possible that a full cover could include both new vocals and a new set of samples.
There are also cases where the sampled track can be played by live musicians. A lot of work produced by Dr. Dre can be performed by a live funk band; this was shown in his Super Bowl Halftime show. Some Beastie Boys songs had the group play as a band.
Yeah. There isn't a tradition of covering someone else's rap because the rapper was originally supposed to be both writer and performer. A lot of Beastie Boys songs are written in that perspective.
That being said, not all of their songs are like that and there is some cross genre mixing with rock. I can see Fight For Your Right or Sabotage getting easily covered.
Yeah, but you also put together an argument that addressed the key issue.
That's pretty horrific.
