I want a Life and Times of Scrooge Mc Duck movie. What would that count as?

I'm not fond of the song and dance either.
I want to see a Disney movie set in Mongolia. Actually, two - one during the rise of Genghis Khan, and the other during the Qing Dynasty (which technically makes it set in China, but hey).
Also, they should make one in the nation of the Huns. And one in Vatican City (it's a country!), any time period.

This reminds me...
Canada FUCK YEAH. It needs love.
I'm trying to think of more places, but now that i think about it Disney used up a lot of time periods already. Was Renaissance used? That'd be cool.

I'm fairly certain Brother Bear takes place in Canada. Geographically speaking, that is. It probably doesn't count for a number of reasons.
Stuff what I do.
New Jersey. In the 90s.

I also would like a Disney film set in Japan. No not ancient Japan, but modern day technology infused Japan set in animé style. Seriously, John Lasseter is a mega huge fan of Studio Ghibli and I think this would be an awesome way to celebrate their culture. I can imagine them having a lot of fun creating something like a modern day A:TLA and I'm sure they could find or at least teach a bunch of their animators to draw in that style.
Plus, c'mon. If they are going to do Japan, that means one thing. Humongous Disney Mecha!

For some reason I have always thought Doña Barbara, (a novel set in Venezuela in the early XX Century) would be a decent enough Disney film with some Adaptation Decay...

^^ Honestly I'd rather not get Animesque in my Disney. The rest of the industry has that covered.
Someplace in Africa. It's a pretty big country, or a pretty big continent if you're a geographer.
I'd love to see them take another crack at one of the Tales Of 1001 Nights, or a West African folktale (or a Middle, East, or North, or South African folktale, for that matter).

^wasn't that already the setting for The Lion King? Or would you prefer that they featured humans instead?

Sure, why not.
Again, Africa's a pretty big place. If they can have movies in who knows how many European countries, they can have another in Africa.

Mmmm, I think I'd rather have them try and explore a completely different continent though. If not Japan, something like Canada or India would be pretty cool.

They did Canada already... technically.
They haven't done Australia or South America yet, I don't think, and while it's still in a continent they've already done to death, I'd love to see them tackle an Irish folktale or something.

They haven't done Australia or South America yet,They've also done a second one set in Africa. How can you remember Brother freakin' Bear but not those three?
I'd love to see them tackle an Irish folktale or something.Ditto. *is Irish*

Jamaica.
Animated reboot of Cool Runnings.
Something involving Annie Palmer for some High Octane Nightmare Fuel
^^ D'oh!
Wait, wasn't The Emperor's New Groove in Mexico? Or at least Central America. I can't remember if they were intended to be Mayans or Aztecs.

The word "Mesoamerican" occurs in the opening song, but everything else about the movie (that isn't purely for comic effect) screams Peru. Protip: the Mayans and Aztecs didn't have llamas.
Stuff what I do.
^ Isn't protip a gaming thing?

RussiaDon Bluth beat them. Besides, it's normally confused for a Disney movie anyway.
Also. New Zealand.
The scenery draws itself and they all have a penchant for animals so something like a Humpback Whale or a Kakapo
for the obligatory Non-Human Sidekick isn't a problem. Infact the Kākāpō were considered very affectionate pets by the Māori and the Europeans who owned them said "they act more like a dog than a bird" making All Animals Are Dogs not a problem.

... ooh, Irish mythology. That has an extremely low penetration into Western pop culture despite having a fairly large literary corpus to draw from.

You want an Indian myth that could do with some Disneyfication? The Abduction of Sita, from the Ramayana. I can already hear people Completely Missing The Point and accusing Hanuman of being a retread of Rafiki.
