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.

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.

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.

• 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)
• The Shaggy Dog (1959)
• Pollyanna (1960)
• The Absent-Minded Professor (1961)
• The Three Lives of Thomasina (1964)
• Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971)
• Escape to Witch Mountain (1975)
• The Cat from Outer Space (1978)
• Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989)
• White Fang (1991)
• The Rocketeer (1991)
• Newsies (1992)
• The Mighty Ducks (1992)
• The Adventures of Huck Finn (1993)
• Cool Runnings (1993)
• Blank Check (1994)
• Heavyweights (1995)
• A Kid in King Arthur's Court (1995)
• George of the Jungle (1997)
• Air Bud (1997)
• RocketMan (1997)
• Inspector Gadget (1999)

• Makes an live-action version
• It's 90-95% CGI

What's the point?

Good

Pray this is the end of this live action shit

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.

Disney: Every one of our animated films requires a half-hearted live-action remake.

Everyone else: No.

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?

Nobody asked for this movie.

Moana is probably my favourite animated movie. I see absolute zero reason to watch the remake.

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

Yes, but at least the intellectual property claim lasts ten years longer.

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?!?!

Good, hopefully this will serve as a message to stop making pointless live action remakes. The fact they didnt cast the original voice actress for the lead role is bewildering, but maybe she read between the lines and didn't want it.

It’s pretty obvious:

• too soon for nostalgia
• half the movie and characters is animated anyways

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.

HA HA

We. Don’t. Need. To. Live. Action. Every. FUCKING. Thing.

So far all their live remakes have flopped, why do they continue this shit

The hierarchy of power in the live-action remake universe is about to change.
