I don't know what they expect at this point. Disney has stopped chasing after quality a long time ago and is just pushing out content for their streaming services based on nostalgia or current "trends". Both the innovation and passion projects are no longer there. You could tell the team at Illumination had a lot of fun making the Mario movie as they had to navigate Miyamoto's demands and somehow make a modern movie work without long expositions and lore explanations, focusing purely on the characters and world building. Making it almost a $100 million CG slapstick film.
Even if Disney has a whiff of brilliance they can't seem to hold onto it for more than a single season or half a movie.
