The main thing I took away from the Panderverse= Disney should create new diverse characters. Moana was good, Coco was good, Encanto was good. Do more of that and less making old movies with slight changes and

They’re remaking those old movies to retain the IPs. It’s purely a business decision.

[–] lovelychoom@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I don't think so, if you want to just make something for that purpose there are cheaper and better ways than spending 300 million to make a mediocre movie.

There's some fantastical mythology to play with if they did an Inuit/Eskimo movie, plus you get to use husky's, wolves, foxes and polar bears, which are all marketable animals that people love.

Coco and Encanto were amazing.

Agreed. The problem with the Little Mermaid remake wasn't that Ariel was black. It is that it was a bad movie. They remade a movie that didnt need to be remade in order to cash in on people's nostalgia.

It isn't as if they remade the movie as-is but made Ariel white that it would have been a blockbuster

the issues was the live action wasn’t screen accurate to the animation

It sucked ass. When I realized I was looking at my phone during “under the sea” because it was so boring, I knew it was all downhill from there.

So true! They did make a live action Beauty and the Beast featuring white actors and we fucking hated it! We also hated the live action Lion King movie, and all the main characters were blondes in that film!

That said, the live action Cinderella ended up accidentally being quite good.

Yes - its a no brainer lol. Coco, Encanto, & Moana are all great movies and those characters are well liked. Idk why they dont just keep going with that formula, its working efficiently

why pay a decent writer to make a new story when you can get a hack and the producer's neice to ~~ruin~~ adapt a classic.

[–] taco_roco@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

There's a good chance they're counting on the fact that getting people to drum up controversy and/or hate watch it is factored in too

Those new diverse Disney movies keep bombing mostly though
