I just don't like them because there's no point to them but to make money off of dumbasses. The new Beauty and the Beast looks good but other than that should not have been made, especially with Emma Watson. Terrible singer compared to the original woman who voiced Belle.

The talking objects in the new beauty and the beast looked creepy af and had none of their charm from the original. The talking closet in particular looked like something out of a horror movie

Christ I didn't even want to think about how the cgi would look for the objects, I was already upset at what they did with the Beast, when the original look was my childhood. I was the Beast.

Yeah it was pretty bad.

I guess I shouldn't have joined the "you are over-reacting" side too much, it's not that it's like good what they are doing it's just expected enough that many people are indifferent.

The issue with the remakes is that they're taking something that was originally 2D and trying to convert it into 3D and it just does not work without looking creepy or dumb ass hell. Take Lion King for instance, how the hell are they going to do this without it looking incredibly fake and ugly? Try to imagine Timon and Pumba in CGI.

I hope the live action Lion King gives Nala a father just so that we can do away with the whole "incest" thing.

Yes, if they were real lions, they would be cousins and/or siblings. But then real lions don't have musical numbers or monarchical rule.

The Jungle Book remake only worked because the original had no plot anyway. The rest are the most celebrated films of all time and doing a shot for shot remake of movies we've already seen is not only a waste of time and money, but an insult to the audience's intelligence.

Yeah 2016's Jungle Book even had a good thematic element to it, which I found particularly inspired all things considered. It's interesting how fire and the jungle and man's influence on nature was portrayed in this movie, contrasting with how Rudyard Kipling portrayed those things over a century ago (back then, nature was something to be overcome by man, something that man wanted to best. But today nature is precious and precariously balanced, something fragile to be protected, as seen by the destruction of forests and habitat destruction and whatnot)

I've really come to despise the whole "ruined childhood" garbage mentality.

Something new coming out doesn't make the original go away. It doesn't erase the memories of your childhood.

If you're not interested in the new one, you literally don't have to watch it (unless someone is actually forcing you to for whatever reason).

Haven't most of their live-action adaptions been good though?

only The Jungle Book was worth anything.
Beauty and the Beast was okay, but nothing worthwhile is added or changed. it's almost the same movie.

Worse than that, it's Same movie but with creepy cgi... I wasn't a fan of Cinderella's either. You can't have the whole "Disney princess with birds tweeting while dressing her in the morning" in live action instead of animated, it just looks unnatural and creepy.

Those aren't the same thing.

Movies like Hook are different adaptions of old properties by different people.
The movies being discussed in this topic are specifically remakes of the Disney adaptions of the old properties.

They're still adaptations none the less.

Disney was in a bit of a slump in the mid to late 90's. How many direct to video sequels did they do for their animated movies then? How many crappy sequels did they make for Air Bud? The 90's live action Jungle Book was from Disney too. If anything their stuff today is better. They still banked on the their old and popular stuff but it was solely aimed at kids who didn't know any better.

Their animation studios are working on new stuff and they're overall good so it's not like that can really be complained about either.

Yeah I was trying to be nice, although to be fair the 70s and 80s weren't the best time for Disney and even their animation quality dipped. Black Cauldron was so so bad...

The live action for the Jungle Book was great, my only complaint is that they chose actors that couldn't sing to well you know... sing.

Yeah 2016's Favreau's Jungle Book was really good, I enjoyed it a lot, really liked it. And not only because the original was rather mediocre for the most part, the movie was fun and beautiful and I thought the actors were fine... it wasn't a musical so the singing isn't really singing in that sense, just two pals goofing off.

ehh, that doesn't really work for king louie though, it sounds like he was trying to imitate the classic song exactly, but it just sounds... strange...

the ost version sounds much better though, both Walken so idk what they were going for

Speaking of which, they are in the process of once again remaking 101 Dalmatians with Emma Stone as Cruella. Here's to hoping they don't try to "redeem" her like they did with Maleficent. And I would be pissed about that movie except that it came and went. Maleficent (the villain) still appears in a lot of merchandise whereas the good girl movie counterpart was just a cash grab that came and went.

And getting back to The Jungle Book, I've heard that it was good. But I haven't heard anything about it since. The classics are still there and will still still be there. These are just passing films which will make Disney a bunch of money and then become a matter of trivia. The Disney Wiki page will note that 101 Dalmatians has two live action versions, a cartoon series, etc. And the Lion King page will read much the same way.

I heard Maleficent was meh

John Carter was completely wasted potential. It wasn't even bad, they just clearly didn't believe in it and sent it out to die.

Lone Ranger was also bad

Pirates after the first one was bad

Star Wars 7 is really bad

Their older live action shit was really good, though. Hook, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, original Tron, etc were all top tier movies, IMO. Used to be the live action was better than the cartoons. Then the Disney Revival happened and it's the reverse, their animated shit is way better than live action shit. (See, for example, Big Hero 6, aka the best Marvel Movie they made)

The Lone Ranger is one of those films where the only good thing about the movie is the villain. Michael Fichtner does a great job as Butch Cavendish. The rest of the film is agonizingly dull and goes out of its way to disrespect the Lone Ranger as a character.

That one does get under my skin.
