Moana 2 got announced. That feels kinda dirty, but that’s what the low cap is for right?

Eh, don't think you can really draft movies if you don't even know what they are. That was probably just a placeholder for whatever Disney decided to dump in that spot at the time we did the draft anyway.

It was Moana 2

And we take “untitled paramount movie” or whatever multiple times this draft

It could have been taken

Moana 2 was not even supposed to be a movie. It was a gonna be a tv series and it was a shock when it was announced as being changed into a movie a couple of weeks ago.

And no, we don't (or at least shouldn't) take untitled movies unless we know what they actually are. "Untitled [director/actor] movie" is a lot different from "untitled [studio] movie", which could really be anything, and are often just placeholders. Dates shift all the time, so unless you can produce an imdb page for the movie you're taking, it shouldn't be draftable.

Untitled Disney animated film was on release calendars like upcomingmovies.net with a date, just no title

It was draftable but was a risk since “experts” said they doubted it would be happening

Thanks for proving what I just said. Those movies both had imdb pages, so it was known what they were.

Moana 2 was not even announced as a movie at the time we did this draft, so it shouldn't be draftable. I might as well be able to draft "upcoming december release not on calendar yet".

I think the rule should be that if a movie is on the calendar then it’s draftable, regardless of title or no title

If not on the calendar (for a date or for tbd year of draft) then it’s not draftable

Again, Moana 2 was never supposed to even be a movie. They bumped what they originally had for that date and replaced it with that. This happens all the time.

You can't draft movies that you don't even know what they are. Untitled is fine, but you have to at least know what it will be once it has a title. Have a look at all the untitled Disney movies in 2025 and tell me how you think they are draftable.

Anything with an imdb page is fair game, the rest aren't. This isn't hard.
