- Here is my reaction to Disney's future slate of live-action movies, reboots, sequels, and spinoffs. They are making a Zootopia 2, Frozen 3, and Toy Story 5, along with rebooting The Little Mermaid and Peter Pan. We are also getting spinoffs from Aladdin and The Lion King so a lot is happening.

@Brittney_Reacts_ - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I agree, all these sequels are lazy and unnecessary.
totally agree
Fax
"Unnecessary?" who cares if its unnecessary if it makes us BILLIONS?!! MWAHAHA
@@natesamadhi33 *In the voice of Palpatine*: Unnecessary? No. No!! NOOOOO! *Raises hand for Force lightning *
Yup. There is an entire planet full of stories and they just keep rehashing the same ole same ole.
The one I'm only looking forward to is Zootopia 2. But hopefully, they don't make Judy throw away her dream of finally becoming a police officer because she was bored, run into a forest to become a rabbit spirit leaving Nick behind, and go back to her ex who had their personality erased because modern Hollywood thinks that what makes someone “strong”.
I always felt like the very last scene was suggesting some kind of romance between Nick and Judy. I think it could be interesting to follow up on that, and the "speciesism" that's still in their world. This could be a sequel where the "characters have kids" trope could work. Maybe show how the segregation they lived through still affects lives years later.
@@leonardo.diCATioI just loved seeing Judy and Nick’s dynamic in the first and it’s one of my favorite dynamics from Disney movies in general. I would like to see topics such as those being addressed that could reflect on interracial relationships in real life like the first movie did with racism.
Are you referencing a movie with ur comment? Running into a forest and turning into a spirit along with going back to an ex with an erased personality sounds specific and familiar
@@eldoonirebbackwards7871 Elsa 😂
Zootopia was great because it utilized animal kingdom has a means to utilized segregation, race, social and political issues and dynamics of overcoming trauma and abuse.
I seriously wonder why Disney is not just using the same design style as Detective Pikachu. "live action", yet still very recognizable to the animation.
Probably cause it takes too much effort and they just wanna cut corners and take the easy way out
That would be perfect for their Robin Hood and Bambi live-action movies but sadly, we'll get '' real '' animals with no emotions... yay 😐
Yes.
Dear Disney, No more live action. Just take the old, cartoon movies and put them in whatever software you used to make Frozen 2.
@@milliefleur I mean surely it’s easier to just take the original designs and give them hyper realistic texture? Rather than replicating real animals and making a whole nature documentary
No single animated movie needs a live-action reboot.
Real people cannot compete with animated counterparts in any way. I mean, how can you compete with something that had been designed to embody an ideal version of a character, something whose phisical traits has been created to bring up empathy, antipathy, love, hate and so on in the viewers?
Also... can we stop with the gloomy and dark palettes in everything? Return to good ol' animated originals! It's not like you are out of source material!
Disney, just because you made our childhood it doesn't mean you can also destroy it!
I hate this "everything need alive action remake" attitude because I love animation and absolutely hate that it's shit on as being a "lesser" form of making movies/shows. This goes double coming from a company that built itself on beautifully animated works of art, and the charm of an animated movie CANNOT be translated well into Live Action.
@@nightmarefanatic1819 you are absolutely right.
Disney should either go for completely original live actions UNRELATED from their classics or can the live-action series as a whole.
And this doesn't go just for Disney either, I'm also thinking about Netflix, Amazon & Co making live-action anime and so on!
The right thing to do is to educate the western audience into accepting animation as a cinema medium, not a cinema genre for kids.
I think I once read or heard somewhere that Walt Disney had said that he never wanted any live-action remakes or sequels of his Animated classics (at least certainly not any remake/sequel of Snow White, I believe).
Or why not pull something obscure or forgotten out of the vaults instead? I was watching Ben and Me the other night, and I couldn't help but think it might be fun in live action, although not under this current Disney regime.
@@brotquel1592 Netflix makes their own anime adaptations of things but don't understand that people actually like the animated part of anime. Nobody who watched Cowboy Bebop ever said "It's too bad this is animated, it would be so much better if it were live action."
One prop I'll actually give Amazon Prime is they do animated adaptations of things like Invincible and Vox Machina, and the shows are actually popular enough to prove that there is a market for animation aimed at adults that isn't just a Family Guy clone.
Disney abusing its VFX team yet paid so low. STOP with these live action, give them a rest! Pls give us 2D animation!
Live action Lilo and Stich is going to be horrifying. How is nobody at Disney going, "Yeah, this looks like a bad idea. Let's not do this."??
answer: theyll watch anything so $$$$$$$$$
Because Money
It sounds like a scary movie!
Stitch would give me nightmares if he was made into live action
Disney isn't an animation company anymore, they are a product manufacturer and will keep producing the same shit over and over to keep making money.
I'm excited to see how DreamWorks and Illumenation keep up their momentum.
Edit, I see you use Wondershare Filmora for editing?! I love this software.
Yeah, Dreamworks and Illumination are doing wayyyy better than Disney is. Many can say Illumination can go a bit overboard with the Despicable Me franchise but I would see a new movie from them any day over a modern Disney movie.
I use it to edit all my videos!
@@suspiciousstar7547 I'm not a Disney hater believe me, they were a huge part of my childhood. But as I have grown up, I see less and less of the magic and excitement I got as a kid whenever they put out a new release.
@@Ninjaair64 Same. I loved Disney so much when I was younger but seeing them go for soulless reboots/sequels is so depressing to me. The last Disney movie I enjoyed was Cruella 2021 but probably because it was more of an expansion.
Nah, If I see another Minions movie I may vomit.
You get a reboot, you get a reboot, you get a reboot! And for all who got a reboot, your getting a sequel!!!!!!!!!!!
Lmao
And a special edition, a director’s cut, and an updated special edition too!
If Disney wants to go the gritty real look, they could always do a live action Black Cauldron. Then the desaturated colors and dark lighting would actually feel fitting.
Doubt they'd ever touch that movie ever again though.
Apperantly according to something I read they acquired the rights to the rest of the books so I’m thinking a series or movie will be made!
@@Theravingranter That actually sounds pretty wicked then! Fingers crossed they go with the dark tone of the books if they do make something of it!
They could also tell an original Black mermaid story. Lasirenne is a Hatian SIREN. How fucking BADASS would a siren movie be? Don’t need to race-swap anything there. A Black story a goddamned SIREN. We all need that. And since sirens lure men to their deaths, that would be dark and gritty right off. It can have a ballet-Giselle-spin where a man getting lured one time is the one she loves, and she has to save him, even if they can’t be together. (By the way, the phrase, “that gives me the willies” comes from Gieslle.) It could be a dark, gritty,, heart-wrenching story, AND an original Black mermaid story.
They should have just used their original edgy plans, released it for a teen & adult audience, & sold it under Touchstone on Halloween, it would have faired better.
Speaking of Touchstone, how about a gritty reboot of The Brave Little Toaster?
Nah I'll bet they'll give it bright pastel colors
This is how you know the world is ending...loss of imagination and originality and the fall of disney💀
This is why we have seen quite a few Disney OG directors and writers leaving because of corruption and terrible management and producers.
The fall of Disney is the sign of “the world ending”? They’re liable to make bad investments like any other company. We shouldn’t put so much faith in corporations.
uh disney was never that original... all of their big animated films are based off some folklore fairy tale
Well you know once something peaked it's bound to slide back down and I feel that's Disney rn. How far they'll sink before going back to the old Renaissance days would be left to see
Well, it's not ending since I am there
This seems like a severe case of "Quantity Over Quality".
Zootopia 2 has potential. It would be so awesome if we got to see more districts.
fr, it's like the only disney sequel i'm excited for rn
@@cara_lina Same!😎
You’re not excited for the film, you’re just excited for the visuals. You aren’t excited about what possible random story they can tell but you’re instead excited about how they will lay out the other districts. That’s how you know Disney has become awful and money hungry
@@MaidenOfHusbands bruh I was saying that I would like to see other districts based on different biomes.
@@maninanikittycat4238 yeah…. I know that.. I said that…. wdym?…
> make a sequel to a popular (good) movie
> no one watches it
> "maybe it's time to focus on new characters"
> make a mid original movie
> "nobody must want original movies then"
> rinse and repeat
You know, I almost feel like they did that intentionally with Strange World. How interesting how the first Disney movie with a biracial and openly queer **main** character (not a background character!!!) was barely advertised and given the most generic story ever... hmm, I wonder why that is?
When Disney announces a reboot/sequel, I wonder how they are gonna tarnish the original.
Isn't it sad how that's our first thought nowadays. I remember seeing Mulan for the first time in a theater and being so excited. I haven't had that same experience since big hero 6.
Sequels don’t tarnish the originals for me. They may not add to them, but they can never take away what was already a great story. Sometimes you just have to ignore the sequel lol.
@@mermaidtingzzz Almost sounds like a "We Don't Talk About Bruno" solution but for a good reason
I feel like if they keep this up, they may eventually go bankrupt. I know Disney is a huge corporation, but a lot of people seem opposed to the reboots/live action films and we've already seen their audience numbers dropping.
If that happen, I will Dance on Disney grave.
I hear they make most of their money off the theme parks. They were so desperate to keep them open during the pandemic.
@@LikaLaruku yeah, heard those parks are.... not going well now :/
@@marhawkman303 h o p e f u l l y
@I luv M3gan hell yeah I do
I think Iger knows his days are numbered and he's trying to end on a triumphant note, except he's too bigheaded and tone deaf to realize that we already know that most of the problems with modern Disney stem directly from him and his actions. Chapek's no good guy himself, but he was the fall guy for the most part.
As much as I don’t want to excuse Chapek ignorantly saying animation is more for kids, Iger and his big ego threw Disney into massive debt.
Heck, I think he is to blame for the dismantling of Splash Mountain because Chapek hadn’t touched that ride in 2021 but as soon as Iger slowly weaseled his way back into the main role in 2022, we suddenly hear that Splash Mountain is being dismantled starting in January 2023 with a closure.
@Thomasmemoryscentral Chapek just said what the majority of studio heads are thinking, Warner Bros is almost even worse with their rhetoric. I've had this discussion with a friend regarding puppetry too, which is a very serious art form in many other countries, but it never seems to get taken seriously here in the U.S. It was an uphill battle for Jim Henson and even today I don't think the general public gives him enough credit for the innovations he helped bring to film.
Toy Story 4 already tried to succeed at what Toy Story 3 did and failed, so is Toy Story 5 most likely gonna be a bigger mistake than Toy Story 4? Most likely since I believe they should have ended it at 3.
"Ended it at 3"?! And then what? Miss the oportunity to grab all that cash?! How DARE you?!
@@diegoreckholder945 Yes, that's exactly what I said :D. I rather have my past work remembered fondly and make more cash with original ideas but I'm not cash-hog Disney so...
Toy Story 5 ?? How about frozen 3 ! The 2nd one was good, just a bit late. But a third ??? Ugh. No.
@@diegoreckholder945 I actually think Toy Story 4 was good tbh
@@purpleclaws202 it was good! I enjoyed it!
But the third gave closure to an era. It made me feel dumb for crying so much during the third one 😆😆😆
Stitch is going to be such a BIG challenge, to animate something that is equal parts horrifying and equal parts adorable.... It was already an impact when the character was designed in 2D - his very fluid body was a breakthrough for the time
If Disney make It like In the Detective Pikachu movie style, It could work.
@@venti726 Or they could make him similar to those gremlins in the Gremlins movie. Granted, they should copy the cute version of them, not the ugly monster transformation…
Honestly what they should do is make stitch literally a 2d animation and everyone live action like the Michael looney toon movie.
@@tulip5210 Yes! it also worked well in the Who framed roger rabbit movie
Pokemon: Pikachu Detective is a great example for live action Lilo & Stitch
9:30 I don't see Sword and the Stone working well. Firstly because it's a boy learning how to become a king, and Disney has been less than kind to these kinds of stories and characters in recent years. It's also *very* cartoony, with a lot of wacky transformations that I can already tell would give me vertigo as CGI. And it's another movie with a bright color palate, which is another thing Disney seems to hate now.
As someone who grew up loving the sword in the stone, I'm concerned. There's a lot of fantasy scenes with magic and long periods of time where characters turn themselves and others into animals. There is also an animal companion who sticks around for a long time. It really doesn't lend itself to Disney's trend of taking the magic out of magic.
Archimedes is my favourite of the Disney animals, I really don't need to see him in CGI. I'm hoping he will at least speak, but will probably avoid the whole thing to be safe.
Ya same! I would guess that if they are committing to the Game of Thrones idea, a lot of those fantasy scenes will be cut & replaced with some generic magic
Archimedes is my favorite too, I'm already dead inside after this piece of news. 😢
@@jaimeerindy4573 So basically half the movie? Lol
Remember when disney adapted fairy tales and made it their own little version that was memorable? Yeah those were good times
At this point, I've just given up on Disney. They aren't even trying.
Psst. There's a reason why Japan's Studio Ghibli movies are so insanely successful and well-beloved across the world. It's also why aside from Walt Disney himself, Michael Eizner and Hayao Miyazaki are widely known and regarded as two of the most accomplished and influential CEOs, Creative Directors, and Filmmakers in the history of animation. They were visionaries and masters of storytelling. They excelled in creating exceptional 2D hand-drawn and painted animations that displayed beautiful backgrounds and highly expressive characters, as well as adding phenomenal musical scores and broadway-style musical numbers. This style is representative of The Walt Disney Company's Renaissance Era, 1989 - 1999, and the Post-Renaissance Era, 2000 - 2009. Two eras in which The Walt Disney Company saw its largest growth and saw the biggest boom in movie-going audiences. The most memorable and Iconic Disney movies and IP came from these two eras: The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Pocahontas, Toy Story, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, 101 Dalmatians, Hercules, Mulan, A Bugs Life, Tarzan, The Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Monster's Inc., Lilo & Stitch, Treasure Planet, (Not a movie, but a video game: "Kingdom Hearts"), Finding Nemo, Brother Bear, The Incredibles, Cars, Meet the Robinsons, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Tinkerbell, Up, The Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Brave, and Frozen. When people think of "Disney," most people will recall the Renaissance/Post-Renaissance Era of Disney under Michael Eisner.
Studio Ghibli is like a thousand times better than Disney at this point - no comparison.
JUNGLE BOOK LIVE ACTION REMAKE SEQUEL THATS INSANE
Disney at this point is the kind of company to panic if someone pitches an original idea, and the burns it with a flamethrower.
this is where i draw the line. live action lilo and stitch? not only would that be horrifying but the original is SO GOOD!!! we don’t need a reboot 😭
I can't wait for them to make an animated remake of a sequel of the live action remake of the original animated movie
The sad thing is that there are SO many creative people out there, several hundred if not thousand concepts and original fairytales and stories to make. But they aren’t cool enough, not famous enough, not rich enough to pay for it or not sleeping with enough producers to get their idea made into a film or tv series.
Sad. Hopefully more independent productions come up on the rise as Disney seems to fall.
Disney seems to forget that THEY are the reason those fairy tales became global sensations in the first place. They fleshed out the story and developed groundbreaking animation techniques for Snow White. Now they're scared of taking other fairy tales and adapting them. Either they're afraid of offending other cultures or they don't have enough capable writers on hand, which are both poor, stupid excuses.
Its crazy that Disney is so creatively bankrupt. There are thousands of fables an fairy tales that are yet to be explored, yet Disney wants to play it too safe and make money; which is ridiculous to me because they are loosing money on these bad remakes and they could try to make something original since they are loosing money anyway. Most people don't want remakes or reboots.
If the Mufasa movie was animated I'd be so down.
what I'm realizing is a lot of people are getting tired of these remakes. Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if remakes and sequels are what end disney, OR Dreamworks (or Sony ) becomes the main animation studio. We are already seeing that happening. As for Hunchback the reason I'm not looking forward to it is because I know Disney will ruin Frollo. Lastly I feel like Liz Gillies would be a perfect Meg.
Plus no way can they pull off Frollo singing his villain song because of political correctness.
I was sure that Disney would've left Hunchback in the past and never touch it again because of just how dark it was.
@Thomasmemoryscentral You're kidding right? What's more topical today than a man abusing his political and religious authority to coerce women and enflame racism/ classism for his own desires and twisted ideals? My fear is that Disney will not have the balls to commit.
Looking forward though to Inside Out 2, I hope Riley would be able to encounter eventual different problems in her life and overcome them. Those 12 years old who watched the first film are now about 19-20 year olds, so I think that this movie would definitely appeal to them, especially with what Riley's gonna face in her life.
yup im 18 now
Inside came out in June 2015 I’d say those 12 years old are 19-20 now
@@lovelyflueragreed.
I agree. Inside Out 2 and also Zootopia 2 have some potential to me. However, we just don't need Frozen 3 and Toy Story 5.
Frozen should have never been touched for sequels, period.
And Toy Story (the only PIxar franchise where I actually think the sequels are fine) should have ended at Toy Story 3. Andy went to college, everything ended neatly, but of course Disney saw an opportunity for money and had to make another one. Toy Story 4 was not needed and Toy Story 5 is definitely not needed.
Yep I was 12 when it came out
can we all say officially disney is in a full third dark age that started after moana ,the last movie I considered part of the revival era, and after covid got only worse?
They even have Sydney White, which is a Snow White story based at college. No evil stepmom, just an evil sorority popular “mean girl.”
Oh gosh
I watched that movie, and I didn’t even know it was Disney. It was somewhat enjoyable though
Yeah when I started this video I thought I knew how bad it was, but you are right, it is worse than I imagined. It really does sound like they plan to remake every single one of their Disney Animated Films. What a slap in the face of animators!
This is a scary direction Disney is taking 😭😭😭
It seems Disney didn't learn from Micheal Eisner's days of releasing needless sequels.
A Sword in the Stone live action version could potentially not translate well from it's animated version. There's a whole Wizard's Duel scene (which is kind of the highlight of the whole movie) where Merlin and Madam Mim transform into different animals
That scene in CGI would make me seasick from all the blurry action
They’ll make the characters all black
All these reboots and live action remakes are so funny to me considering Disney rejected the director who made The Princess and The Frog's pitch to make a live action movie . We've never seen tiana in live action but sure, lets remake peter pan and snow white who have had multiple live action adaptations already.
It’s sad but also interesting to see Disney is nolonger THE animation studio. And now studios like Dreamworks and Sony animation have become more respected for their films
Side note, I've always loved how Dreamworks and Sony are always so naturally diverse with their characters
@@LisaF777 yeah same! But ever since Disney shiftet to only 3D animation they don't experiment with new artstyles and all their new characters look like they are from the same universe
I find all the remakes to be liberating. I've found myself not paying attention to anything remotely Marvel, Pixar, Lucas, or Disney for the most part since 2016. With these announcements, I can enjoy the good memories of going to the drive in with my mother. I can go on with my life without needing to acknowledge there is some entity out there pretending to honor a man called Mr. Walt Disney.
I, for one, can't wait for "Wendy: Guest Starring Peter Pan"
Reminds me of Jasmine;feat. Aladdin from a few years ago 😂
Plus we had Once Upon a Time which circled around Snow White & her family lol.
Yes! Once Upon a Time did what so many of these Disney remakes did, but better, or at least with a clear creative vision in mind. When Brittney was talking about how dark Neverland was in the upcoming remake, all I could think of was how OUAT justified their choice with Dark Neverland (and provided contrast with a brighter Neverland in the past), yet I bet this film won’t do that.
Lilo & Stitch is not a live action remake I'm looking forward to.... 😬
Yeah
The trailer of Peter Pan makes it seem like Wonderland is „about to die“ hence the dark tone of the movie, and they gonna make wendy somehow the only one whos able to save it💀
I'll admit, the Aladdin live action sequel kinda intrigued me. The rest (especially Lilo and Stitch,Bambi, and Lion King Ripoff sequel) sound horrible...plus what does "TikTok-ifying" Hercules mean? Dear gods, please no. Prince Anders thing might be funny tho
I miss when Disney made original movies I’m tired of sequels and remakes 😒
Disney is going through the early 2000s again with all their direct-to-video sequels. They made a sequel to almost every Disney movie ever made. The only problem is that back then it was keeping them afloat until pixar came around and changed everything with their innovative stories and animations. Now Disney has consumed pixar and no ones around to save Disney once again from themselves....
Disney has become a joke.
"Sequels typically work for us."
Me looks to their Direct to vhs/dvd sequel trend in the 90s and 2000. "Are you sure...? because pretty sure your bad sequels out weight you good."
I wonder if Disney will give Robinhood the Cats 2019 treatment if they do go live action with the remake. It would honestly be the most cursed movie of all time if they go that route.
Don’t give them ideas
Seeing all these live action remakes makes me feel like i'm eating an endless amount of junk food.
Me toooooo... I feel like eating a bowl of salad for once!
I’m over here thinking how Stitch would look like Sonic’s original movie design. With human eyes and teeth.
Anyhow, Disney is so detached from originality. Even when they do release something originally animated, it feels like their treading old ground and not experimenting. I feel like even if they switch up animation styles they would still feel like a “Disney” movie
Zootopia 2 is the only film out of all of the newly announced ones that a lot of people wanted.
Personally I dont mind live action versions of Beauty and the Beast, The little Mermaid, Aladdin, Snow White etc.
What I dislike is live action remakes. Partly because there is just no reason for them to be, partly because they are cashgrab movies and partly because Del Toro demonstrated you could still do a very profound artistic movie based on any of those.
Also I feel its a slap on the face of any actor and specially the actresses as, being a reboot, and these films being cashgrabs, they will be known as Disney cashgrab remake princesses, and thats just awful. These actresses deserve so much more, they deserve to be immortalized as their own rightful princesses in stories meant to expand and to break new artistic grounds, not to be the princess of a movie thats meant to be easy cash, because you know people will still flock to see it even if it lacks all form of originality.
This is why Im kind of a bit forgiving on the new Peter Pan as it seems to be Peter Pan but it also could be an original story, though the jury is still out on that, and I do agree, its colorless and drab for a place thats supposed to be full of magic and wonder.
They are grasping at straws and do not know what to do period. So now its a matter of throwing everything into the wall and seeing what sticks.
Can we just say that these movies going straight to Disney plus is like saying “straight to dvd.” Bc they don’t even think it’s gonna go well in theaters bc… obviously
I always pictured Elizabeth gillies as Meg more than Ariana grande tbh
I want them to start casting more upcoming actors instead of celebrities
Same here
Ariana Grande is playing Meg?? Please don’t let it be so 😭
That blue Gremlin for Stitch was terrifying
I wanna know who tf is asking for a spinoff for Prince Anders bc I'm pretty sure it was no one. I know the character was meant to be bland and forgettable but I really do not understand how they could make his character interesting enough to warrant an entire spinoff
One of the reasons why Disney keeps remaking old movies or doing sequels is because it helps them keep the copyright. It’s the same reason they’d “bring them out of the vault” to put on blu-ray/DVD. Steamboat Willie (aka the original Mickey Mouse) is a perfect example of this. He will enter public domain Jan 1 of next year (2024) which means anyone can use his EXACT likeness for profit and Disney can’t do anything about it. Disney is scrambling to save especially the older properties/characters (as well as milk them dry for profit) and hold on to them as long as they possibly can so no one else can profit from it. I’m not a copyright lawyer so I can’t speak on the exact details of this but knowing this really gives a different perspective of Disney.
Remember movies like a Never Ending Story? Will there ever be a childhood like that again
there are endless stories and source material all over the world they can pull from if they’re having a hard time writing original movies (cough cough Strange World) but they won’t do it because they don’t want to; it’s easier and more comfortable to bring in old fans. we adored Encanto because it was something different and beautiful so I know the company /can/ do it if they really want to 😪 it’s sad and at this point Disney is a joke, most of us know it by now but with these new remakes and reboots coming out everyone will
If anything, they should reboot The Black Cauldron. That has so much potential!
I think what they meant by “tiktok”ifying hercules is that there’s multiple fan based castings for who should play who in the live action hercules if it were ever to be made because I know it was a very popular topic on tiktok during the pandemic. Hopefully Lizzo doesn’t get casted for Thalia as she’s expressed how much she doesn’t like how their only similarity would be based on their body type.
Weird thing is, they have an original (well, original-ish) animation coming up, Wish. But I barely seen any promotion on it, yet they promote sequels like Ariel months before, even _years_ .
Yeah! The only time when I've heard about that movie was from a personal account of a story artist who works on it. Other than that, it's radio silence all around. It's almost like they want it to flop from the lack of marketing
I don't think The Hunchback of Notre Dame remake will be good, mainly because Judge Frollo might be toned down for being "too dark", and Disney seems afraid to make classic villians.
Yeah. Except in this day and age people would call Disney woke if they kept him like he was in the original.
I'm just waiting for Disney to crumble at this point. The *fan* recommendation of Ariana Grande in Hercules is the only thing in all this news that got me even to the level of "Ok, that's fine."
At one point, I thought they were headed to a '70s/'80s "dark" age again, but since they're also ruining their parks, it's about to be pretty bad.
Brittney: "Heracles could work in live action"
My brain: "hyper-realistic Pain and Panic (Hade's two servile Imps)."
It’s out of control!! 😂
Hey Brittany, the reason why they’re doing live action reboots is because many of these properties original versions are now in the public domain. They only have copyright and trademark rights to the Disney versions that were made in many cases 60 or 70 years ago. So in order to retain the rights to these intellectual properties they have to use them whether even if they lose money at the boxoffice. That’s why they had to do a live action version of Pinocchio at the same time Benicio Del Toro was putting his version out on Netflix. Control of trademark concepts is big business in the entertainment industry. That’s the reason why there is a bad girl, a bad woman, and probably a bad boy that they’re not using right now. Valiant comics put out a character in the 1990s called X-O , man of war. In other words X-Men with a completely different story but very similar name.
Have you watched Del Toro’s Pinocchio by any chance? It’s pretty good!
Wow, this actually adds a lot of context! Thank you. Really explains Pinocchio too.
Disney is going through some hella dark ages rn. This is so bad.
I don’t hate sequels, but I wish people could be able to tell their own original stories more 😔 I still plan on watching a few of these movies, mainly the animated ones because I’ve never really been a big fan or live action movies and shows, but I’d much rather watch more originals than all these reboots.
I was indifferent to the sequels. They were okay and not necessary. But Toy Story 4 came out. And I hate that movie with a passion. It destroyed the character arc of Woody and made him leave him friends without a thought. I completely ignore this movie in the Toy Story franchise. And ever since, I have refused to watch Disney destroy more of my childhood with sequels.
Disney is really getting lazy. They need to stop with the live action remakes, reboots, spin-offs and sequels and focus on what made them Disney. Great creative animated films
Meanwhile Dreamworks is putting genuine effort and creativity into their movies
I am TIRED of live actions, and their sequels… Walt Disney would be rolling in his grave rn 🙃
I'm deeply upset Disney hasn't thought about remaking the master piece that would have been The Black Cauldron
okok one more thing, i fully believe these "live action" remakes just should've been 3D animated (like Frozen or Tangled) if they're insisting on making them so much. the movies are already mostly cgi animation anyways, but at least 3D disney animation is fun to look at
As someone who's favorite Disney movie is hunchback of Notre Dame I really hope that it's good. That is one that I felt could benefit from a live action movie to get more ppl talking abt it. I am glad they are bringing in good people for the music. If they cut any song other than A Guy Like You or The Court Of Miracles. A guy like you is a song that I like because it's fun but if they have the gargoyles be more serious and need to cut that so there aren't any weird tone shifts and it's also not as good as all the other songs. If they cut The Court Of Miracles I will be judging a bit bc it's a good song but I could be okay because it is a shorter song and not quite as important to the plot. You could have that changed to dialog of some of the lyrics to explain things.
I do agree that Hercules could be a better one to change into live action but I am a bit concerned on what Pain, Panic, and Pegasus are going to look like. Same thing with any of the creatures that Hercules fought. I am also a bit concerned what Hades could look like but if they do something similar to what they did in Descendants then that could work. Of course the outfit should be different but if the hair is done in a similar way to Hades in that movie then it can work
Honestly none of the remakes and live action movies would hold up on their own, they rely on you having nostalgia of the originals. So beyond done with their unoriginal BS. And the saddest thing of all is they still make hand over fist in terms of revenue.
I am actually so excited for a live action Hunchback! It’s a super dark story that I don’t mind Disney leaning into the gloominess for. Alan Menken did all the music for the original soundtrack and broadway version so I bet it will be incredible
You know there is already a live action version out? The Hunchback (1997). I remember watching it as a kid. It was scary to me but good 👍
Hercules is gonna be a Buff Tik Tok Teen. Oh No💀
If I had stock in the company, I'd be selling off!
Man, if they're gonna be making "Prince Anders", why the heck CAN'T Varian from the Tangled series have his spinoff series? 🙄
Lol I was just waiting for this comment, and I agree!
Varian deserves his own spinoff maybe even Cassandra too
For Snow White they could put a dark twist on the tale using Neil Gaiman's version 'Snow, Glass, Apples' told from the Queen's perspective. It would lean a bit far into the horror genre though.
Snow White already is a dark tale and believe me the "let's put a dark twist on fairytales" has honestly become cliche and boring
Yea, fairytales started out dark and they've already told this tale in that format. But telling the dark original tale isn't the same as re-imagining it in a way that brings a new perspective. Snow White being pale because she's undead with blood red lips from being a vampire is not the original story nor is it framed as her being the innocent protagonist.
I think we should collectively stop watching Disney movies until they listen to our worries. Also if they're gonna make a spinoff series, they could at least give it to someone who deserves it!? Like, idk...the Tiana series that everyone was talking about a few years ago. But no, someone thought "hey remember white guy that we wrote for the Aladdin movie? Yeah the only white guy in thee whole movie and only got like five minutes of the movie and barely any script! The one who wasn't even in the original film! Lets make a series for him!" Like bffr Disney, bffr.
My biggest fear with the Hunchback remake is that their going to somehow girl-boss Esmerelda and Im not mentally prepared for that roller coaster
Esmeralda is already a girlboss. Confident yet kind-hearted, with a strong moral compass. I'm more worried that they're gonna give her the Mary Sue treatment or turn her into a whiny brat who wants to take down the patriarchy.
Honestly I hope Disney shuts down all this news is just terrible!
At this rate, Im placing my admiration on anime, dreamworks and other studios who care about their audience. I have Disney+ to appreciate the classics/good content and to watch shows like the owl house :/
Oh god if they make a live-action version of Lilo & Stitch: The Series O-O
I'm actually grateful i sort of live under a rock because i was completely oblivious to just how many movies were getting live action reboots and sequels... and honestly that ignorance was bliss
Proof of Disney running out ideas so bad right here
I'm just glad they're doing something different with the live actions with PP&W, Mufasa, and Snow White.
Like, they probably won't be good, but at least there's a reason for them to exist in that they have a new story to tell
The guy who played Prince Anders just had the biggest stroke of luck, ever.
i thought the same thing lol
I feel like he has to have a daddy or mommy with connections…
Sooner see a Prince Anders show than an Aladdin sequel with the same boring main actors. Thought Naomi Scott was such a milquetoast Jasmine. Billy Magnussen is a good actor, I loved him as Rapunzel's Prince in the live action Into the Woods, and I loved him in Game Night.
I'm pretty excited for Zootopia 2 but if it doesn't live up to the original I'm going to be pissed
it probably will live up. the short series was terrific in providing more information about its world and some of the characters. the episode with the girl arguing with her friend about the wedding comes to mind
@@lvn4229 Disney said they will try to make zootopia 2 better than 1
Everytime I see a new advertisement for a live action or Disney sequel, I remember that one quote from Walt, at the end of "Meet the Robinsons". It honestly feels villainous what they are doing to this man and his company.
…I just realized is Sebastian a crab?? I though he was a lobster-
Mufasa's childhood would be nice to see if it's animated. I'm sure it will be exactly like the Lion king remake, boring with characters who have no emotions. I won't watch it! Same for Lilo and Stitch. I hope the plot won't be: Lilo is a teenager and found aliens boring so she go to school to study marine life and abandoned Stitch. That would be very depressing! If she bacome super strong and independant too! This kid was a good dancer with a lot of imagination but she was also cute and her relation with Stitch was adorable! Don't ruin them Disney 😠You already maked Mulan and Simba boring, don't destroy Lilo and Stitch! I won't encourage you and pay to see that abomination!
Prince Anders spinoff? Seriously?
I remember watching a Studio C parody of the future Star Wars movies, where they had made a spinoff for every single Stormtrooper that ever appeared in the movies. And the boss gave them a hard time for missing one Stormtrooper whose leg (or an arm) was visible in the frame.
It's not a parody at this point.
The original James and the Giant Peach was part live action and part claymation, so I don’t see any reason to remake a movie that’s already in live action.
