Chapter 675 Zaboru Presentation for Disney.
🕑 Added 2025-09-28 02:21:25 +0000 UTCTuesday 1 June 1996.
At Disney's U.S. offices, Zaboru is currently in a meeting with the company's creative leadership. The purpose of the meeting is to present three movie ideas that are planned to follow the release of The Little Mermaid.
And for now, Zaboru is already preparing three new movies that will be developed by the Disney team. The Disney Animation division has shown time and time again that they are capable of producing two to three animated features per year when properly structured and resourced. Building on that strength, Zaboru is proposing a long-term strategy to establish three fully dedicated animation teams—each one tasked with developing a different project simultaneously.
This approach isn't just about speed; it's about focus. Each team will have the freedom to explore its unique creative direction while maintaining the high standards expected from Disney productions. Zaboru believes this structure will allow for richer storytelling, stronger visual identity in each film, and a smoother development process. If executed well, Disney could maintain a steady release schedule while still giving each movie the attention and craft it deserves.
Now, inside Disney's offices, several high-ranking executives are gathered in the room. Among them are Walt Disney and Roy Disney themselves, seated and ready to hear what Zaboru has to present.
Zaboru smiled and said, "Hello everyone. As you all know, today I’m here to present ideas for the next Disney movies." He paused briefly, then continued, "Before we begin, I’d like to make a request. I propose that Disney create three separate and dedicated teams, each focused on a different title."
He glanced around the room and added, "When I spoke with Mr. Disney, he confirmed that this kind of expansion is absolutely possible. But of course, the real question is—are my three movie ideas strong enough to justify it? That’s what I’m here to show you today. I’ll walk you through each concept. And just as a reminder, this week marks the premiere of Disney’s first movie under ZAGE."
The other executives nodded in agreement as Zaboru prepared to begin.
“As we all know, my mission has been to bring Disney back to its Golden Era. And while I did request three teams and three movie projects, that doesn’t mean we need to release three films every year. What it really means is that we’ll be capable of developing three movies at the same time. Naturally, the release dates for each film can vary, depending on the pace and needs of each project.”
Zaboru smiled and then handed each participant three specific files, one for each movie. Each file was thoughtfully designed—not just plain documents, but full presentation folders that included working titles, tagline drafts, and vibrant, fully illustrated cover images. The moment the folders touched the table, eyes widened. There was an immediate shift in the room’s energy.
Walt Disney's eyes lit up with surprise and genuine curiosity. He leaned forward to get a better look, clearly impressed. The covers were masterfully crafted, each one evoking a different emotion—adventure, mythology, and mystery—all while feeling distinctly 'Disney'.
The quality of the artwork mesmerized the audience. Some executives exchanged looks of disbelief, while others quietly opened their folders, flipping through pages of character sketches, concept art, and early scene compositions. It was clear Zaboru hadn’t come to the meeting with just ideas—he brought a vision already in motion.
“What you’re holding right now contains my core ideas, concept art, full story outlines, and character lists for all three of my proposed movies,” Zaboru said with a confident smile.
Walt Disney’s eyes lit up as he flipped through the materials. “You went this far? As expected, Zaboy! Hahaha!” he laughed, clearly impressed by the depth and preparation.
Zaboru smiled and said, “Okay, the first movie I want Disney to create is The Lion King.”
He opened the presentation file and revealed the materials for The Lion King, displaying the cover art. “This movie is based on my video game of the same name. It tells the story of a young lion named Simba, who is destined to become king of the Pride Lands. But his journey is derailed when his uncle Scar tricks him into believing he caused the death of his father, Mufasa. Overwhelmed by guilt, Simba runs away and grows up far from home, making new friends and hiding from his past. Eventually, he must return, confront Scar, and reclaim his rightful place as king. It’s a story about courage, loss, responsibility, and the circle of life.”
Walt Disney leaned back, then said with a big grin, “Approved!”
Zaboru blinked, surprised. “That fast, Mr. Disney?”
Walt laughed heartily. “I can smell quality from miles away, Zaboy! And this one is well-prepared and full of heart. It’s a yes for me.”
The other Disney executives chuckled and nodded in agreement, voicing their approval one after another.
Zaboru smiled and continued, “Alright, we can revisit The Lion King later since it’s already approved. Now, let’s move on to the next movie—Hercules. As you all know, this story is rooted in Greek mythology, but I’ve taken some creative liberties to make it better suited for our audience.”
He opened the second folder, revealing dynamic artwork and character sketches. “This version of Hercules centers on the son of Zeus, born a god but turned mortal by Hades. To reclaim his place among the gods, he must prove himself a true hero. Raised on Earth, Hercules struggles to find where he belongs until he meets the satyr Phil, who becomes his trainer. As he performs heroic deeds, he also falls in love with Megara—who has her own complicated past with Hades.”
Zaboru looked around the room. “This is more than just a story of strength. It’s about selflessness, sacrifice, and discovering that real greatness isn’t about fame or power—it’s about heart and the choices we make.”
He set the folder down. “Any questions before we move forward?”
Walt Disney was deep in thought when Mark Renner, one of the lead story writers, suddenly asked, “Why Greek mythology? Doesn’t that usually involve a lot of, you know, mature content?”
Zaboru chuckled and shook his head. “Of course not. We’re still focused on all-ages movies. This won’t follow traditional Greek mythology in that way—it’ll be adapted to fit Disney’s tone and values.”
Walt nodded enthusiastically. “APPROVED! Ahahaha, I already love the main character—just from the image!”
Zaboru laughed, and the other executives joined in, smiling and nodding in agreement.
Zaboru chuckled softly, then continued the presentation. “Alright, the last movie I’ll be presenting today may be the biggest challenge yet for the Disney animation team. This one involves a completely new animation style I’d like to explore. The title of the film is The Iron Giant.”
Zaboru continued, “The Iron Giant is set in 1950s Maine and follows a young boy named Hogarth Hughes, who discovers and befriends a massive metal robot from outer space. As Hogarth secretly shelters the gentle giant from a paranoid government agent named Kent Mansley, he teaches the robot about life, friendship, and the powerful idea that 'you are who you choose to be,' not what you were built for.
As tensions rise and the military misinterprets the Iron Giant as a threat, they launch a full-scale attack. In the film’s emotional climax, the Giant sacrifices himself to save the town, proving that he is a hero—not a weapon. It’s a heartfelt story that explores themes of empathy, identity, fear of the unknown, and the transformative power of choice.”
“And it’s not just the story that’s unique—the animation style for The Iron Giant will stand apart as well. I want the Giant himself to be animated in 3D, while the rest of the world and characters will remain in traditional hand-painted 2D. This deliberate contrast will highlight his otherworldly nature and make him visually distinct without breaking the flow of the film.
I’ve already sketched out techniques and transitions that will make the blending of 2D and 3D animation feel seamless and natural, even during action-heavy scenes. It’s ambitious, I know, but it could push the boundaries of how we tell stories visually.
Because of how technically different this project is from the others, I plan to give the animation team behind The Iron Giant more development time than the other two movies. I want them to have the breathing room to experiment, troubleshoot, and perfect this hybrid style without feeling rushed. This film isn’t just another entry in the lineup—it’s an evolution.”
Walt Disney chuckled and said, “Honestly, this is a brilliant idea. I can’t say anything except—approved! Your ideas are always genius, Zaboy! Now, let’s get to work and figure out how we’re going to bring these movies to life.”
The meeting wrapped up quickly after that. Walt was so energized and eager to begin that he didn’t want to waste a single moment. It was clear to everyone in the room that this meeting wasn’t just about seeking approval—it was more a formality out of respect. Everyone at Disney knew that if Walt gave the green light, then the decision was final.
But more than that, there was a spark in Walt Disney that hadn’t been seen in years. He was grinning like a kid again, inspired and invigorated by Zaboru’s vision. The stories weren’t just good—they reignited the same kind of creative fire that built Disney in the first place. It reminded him of why he started all this. There was magic in the air again.
As the executives left the room, the atmosphere was electric. Notes were already being jotted down, teams were beginning to form in people’s minds, and ideas for casting, music, and design buzzed quietly in the corners of conversations. The future of Disney Animation was shifting—right here, right now—and everyone in that room knew they were at the start of something big.
And with that, the meeting ended—but the next chapter had already begun.
