What if jaws was a disney movie

With more focus being placed on protecting the world's oceans than ever before, a new Jaws sequel about the dangers of ruining the environment would probably play well with audiences.

Of course, this so-called "plot" of the film was actually written in the real , rather than back in for Back to the Future II itself, which only makes the likelihood that a real Jaws 19 would've used an environmental theme all the more likely. Perhaps Chief Brody's grandson could've been a conservationist or biologist fighting to save the seas, placing him in harm's way from both invading sharks and humans intent on destroying the animals before they reach the shore.

Given Hollywood's track record of producing sequels, it's easy to assume that a franchise like Jaws could continue to receive new, increasingly silly follow-ups. However, instances of film series reaching 19 installments are rare, and usually require a number of very specific behind-the-scenes factors to occur. Long-running franchises like James Bond 25 films and Godzilla a record 36 films survived by going through periods of silliness and seriousness, throwing in new concepts while maintaining an overall sense of consistency, and rebooting multiple times for new generations.

The film-strong Star Wars franchise has continued thanks to new film trilogies being produced every few decades, and horror franchises like Friday the 13th and Halloween both of which are sitting at 12 installments as of Halloween Kills have become cult favorites where diehard viewers will show up to support every new installment.

In order for Jaws to reach 19 films while still remaining a viable, financially successful franchise, it's likely that the series would've needed at least one prolonged hiatus, multiple tonal shifts, a cult following, and likely a reboot or two. The Godzilla franchise remains the best example of this model; after 21 years and 15 films, the series ran out of steam in and took a nine-year break before coming back in to an audience starved for more monster mayhem.

This rebooted series continued until , and after a four-year break, a new series ran until Today, the franchise is still going strong after multiple reboots and continuing experimentations with tone and style. If Jaws were to follow this formula, it's entirely possible that a 19th film could be successful in Assuming the series took a brief break sometime during the 90s, a hypothetical Jaws 5 could've released roughly a decade after 's Jaws: The Revenge to a cult audience who were excited to see the shark back in action.

After several further sequels, the series might've even dipped into direct-to-video territory a tradition of Universal with franchises like Tremors and Dragonheart before reviving via the patented Hollywood reboot. The Jaws 19 parody trailer even confirmed that Jaws 18 was a reboot of the franchise, implying that the 19th film could've been a sequel to this reboot.

If every star aligned perfectly and audiences were willing to bite, could very well have seen Jaws 19 released to big box office numbers, proving Back to the Future right and, of course, making Jaws 20 an inevitability.
