None of them. I am against making live action versions of animated movies.


what if there was a live action before the animated? like the jungle book

Beauty and the Beast too. But it's not really the same thing. Taking a Disney version of a story and making live action is like colorizing black-and-white films.


It's kinda of worse than that. At least colorization techniques try to match what's there. Live action remakes of cartoons will often add or change elements of scenes to the point where the characters are altered, or the point of a scene or overall plot are lost.

The recent live action of Beauty and the Beast? It was heavy-handed in such alterations.

Filming in black-and-white is a specific craft. When you colorize a black-and-white film, you often ruin the cinematography of the movie. For example, It's a Wonderful Life in color is atrocious - replacing the shadows and shadings of Capra's work with garish pink color.

But I get what you're saying about live-action Disney. It's not so much they change things, but they try to be both new and old. I haven't and won't see the new Beauty and the Beast live action cosplay, but The Jungle Book was pretty awful. Depressing as hell, dark... yet it still had the same carefree songs. It just sucked. You can't do both.

The new adaptations are really just separate movies. I wouldn't even call them remakes, other than the fact that they include some characters Disney intro'd to the story
