- Makes an live-action version
- It's 90-95% CGI
What's the point?

From that studio that gave you "Live Action" Lion King.
I mean...I already watched this movie like 10 years ago. I know what happens already.
OK, Maui is now The Rock in a muscle suit and a wig. But most of the new movie is CGI. The original movie was also animated. Why do I need to watch the new one?
Also, The Rock's acting in the trailers looked... stiff as a rock
But seriously, he doesn't have the charisma of the original Maui
Which is funny because he voiced the original Maui too. I guess the animators did a lot of work to sell his voice acting.
Honestly I didn't even realize it had been that long till you said it.
10 years is still to early for a "live action" (even though it's basically just animation) remake.
They would have made more money doing frozen

The CinemaSins video on the trailers suggested making a live action remake of Atlantis. That would sell like gangbusters, but Disney has spent the last 20 years pretending it didn't exist
Feels pretty disrespectful to the audience of the original, like “you watched an animation but it’s a real movie now!”, except the real movie is just as much an animation.
I didn't even know it was coming out and even after seeing this post I still don't care enough to click the article
Feels fucking good leaving this nasty-ass comment though haha
The hierarchy of power in the live-action remake universe is about to change.
Teal and orange color scheme. It's the symptom of the disease. It's always teal and orange. Since years none of large studio ever tried anything different. And that issue spreads far and wide well beyond color pallette. Every movie is the same bland garbage repeating things that were done before.
There is a beautiful version of Moana already. I can't imagine needing to see this. I don't hate these remakes for existing, but I just don't see the point.
Studios don't like risks nowadays. So they'd rather remake successful past movies.
No one does... any why should they? The classic disney films are great, they don't need remakes...
I wish someone re-mastered the Donald duck and Goofy driving instructional/documentary videos/movies
Here's my pitch: Let's animate the live action Disney movies. They have these properties to draw from, and instead of making a live-action remake of them like Freaky Friday or Herbie, or a sequel like Hocus Pocus or Mary Poppins Returns, reinvent it as an animated feature.
Remake any Disney owned movie with The Muppets. Slam dunk.
The Rocketeer (1991)
As much as I love good animation, nothing can possibly replace 1991 Jennifer Connely.
Honestly, I would watch animated adaptations of most of these.
Bedknobs and Broomsticks but the animated parts are live action…
Incidentally Bedknobs and Broomsticks is the better Mary Poppins, I know I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I stand by it.
Thats just because of how awesome Angela Lansbury is in everything she ever did.
I agree! As a kid I was obsessed by the final battle between the Nazis and the animated armors!
ah, but would Di$ney risk possibly alienating a few movie goers by depicting Nazis as bad and incompetent today?
Blank Check
Disney really wants everyone to forget this movie, wherein a thirty-something adult falls in love and makes out with a child, exists.
But Disney loves groomers. They produce all their live-action teen content.
The real question is if these still hold copyright value for Disney.
That is why they are remaking the movies. To keep their rights on the more successful versions.
My daughter loves the Moana movies. I've told her about this one - and the anti-excitement of "the same movie but with actual persons" is quite obvious. I can only conclude that no actual parents were involved in its inception.
Let’s dump all the charm and character of the famously last major hand-drawn animation and cover it in slop.
Wait, why aren’t people fighting to give us their money?!?!
Moana was hand drawn??
I’m an idiot. And/or didn’t have my coffee yet.
I was thinking of Lilo And Stitch.
That's still not the last handrawn movie, that would be the Princess and the Frog (although technically one of the Winnie the Pooh movies)
Hand-drawn moana is an excellent idea actually
THAT is a way to get me to watch Disney remakes.
Disney can afford the loss
One, maybe. Hopefully this is just the start
Disney: Every one of our animated films requires a half-hearted live-action remake.
Everyone else: No.
Really proves how simple-minded these people were. They were creating cashgrab nostalgia remakes in a manner that snubs royalties to original crews who worked on the original films, but they couldn't even tell remaking a modern film with no nostalgia value was a bad idea.
I prefer the Italian version of the live action. It came out in the 80s and is much more entertaining
That one is not a family film😅
Its more of a family making film
