Poor Walt Disney. One of his famous quotes was, “I make money to make movies, not make movies to make money.” Or something like that.
I swear that if Walt Disney came back to life today and saw what his beloved company was up to, he’d have a heart attack and die again! I feel so bad for him :(
Me too, man. So sad what one of the greatest media companies has become.
Why doesn't anyone just talk to the shareholders and ask them what's wrong with them?
Mostly I hope that the shareholders
Can get their head out of their asses
And the remakes are 💩
I mean, I bet he'd appreciate the money they make with these movies. But I don't think he'd be fond of the idea :P

Reminder that someday Disney will run out of animated movies and be left with no choice but to do a live-action remake of Chicken Little.
Tyranogre That sounds more terrifying then actual horror movies.
Tyranogre they should do animated remakes of live action properties, imagine an animated version of "Sky High"
Can you say,
“TV show whose pilot is a theatrical release (e.g. Clone Wars)”?
Or, they’ll just move on from the whole idea of live action remakes once they’ve become too dated…kinda like the animated sequel trend from the 90’s and 2000’s.
Tyranogre, well, there’s always Victory through Air Power.

I don't think alice in wonderland or maleficent were "remakes", more like interpretations and a different take to the originals... they did something different than the more recent Disney films, and I liked that
Jesus Christ, it tells a lot about the remakes that we consider the Alice and Maleficent movies as "the better ones". Not that I don't agree with you, but still.
@@MaylocBrittinorum i mean, not that it's "better", just that different from the original... and I kind of wish these new remakes did the same, like show the film from a different perspective. but then again Disney's probably just playing it safe without putting much creativity into it
I would say Alice in Wonderland isn't even a remake, it's more a sequel - the story takes part after the original events. Like everybody know her already, she mentions that she dreamed this once (surpressed memories) and remembers that it's real in the last act.
@@TotallyNotAFox well.... interest theory but also it seems far too different from the original story and far too different from the first disney film for it to be a sequel.
It is simply just Tim Burton's version
@@Mizu-AM I don't mean like a direct sequel, at least not to the first movie. But through the remake it's mentioned that the now grown up Alice was in Wonderland as child before --> events in the first movie / in the original story
Oh my god that animation at the beginning
Pikapetey Animations it was killer
I wasn't definitely expecting that. Caught me completly off guard.
It wasn't even animation
I KNOW! IT WAS HILARIOUS! 😂
It was lovely.
Stop cashing in on nostalgia,
MAKE nostalgia.
Disney's Live Action My Little Pony Movie
K O K O couldn’t have said it better myself the 90s kids always complain about never having remakes for their nostalgia and when that happens all the time they say today’s tv shows aren’t original 🙄
Let's not kid ourselves...Disney will own Hasbro too within years.
Word.
Yeah, they're going to run out eventually... I hope...
Recent Disney doesn’t even feel like Disney. It doesn’t have that Disney charm that old 2ad movies had. And I’m so sick of the live version remakes. They’re not good
The lion king was by far worst of them all I think
Alex right they just keep making Disney remakes they should make some new original movie movies
Maybe a new Disney princess like maybe a Italian,Hispanic,Greek or other ideas Disney princess
Or maybe a movie about a dog that goes on adventure to Paris or somewhere else
I feel like there running out of ideas so they’re just going back to what made them popular in the first place
@Oof TvT Elena doesn't really count, i'm a hispanic and she's kinda there and is more for the money (because shes for disney jr)
Agree. Just pail lifless copies of what Disney used to be!😪
At this point I just want Pixar to become independent already Disney takes over everything

@@joeyjerry1586 Well that and that other fun line: "Every word of what you just said, was wrong."
I mean they kind of already did that by getting rid of what made those movies good in the first place…
See, if they made more remakes such as Malificient and Alice in Wonderland, either stories that continue from where the animated film left off or told a different view of the same story, I'd be more okay with these remakes. At least they'd offer something original.
Exactly! Remakes can be done justice if you give them a new perspective, or fix mistakes in the original movies. If the movie had absolutely no mistakes, there should be no reason to remake it (unless it's from a different perspective) because theres no way it could possibly live up to the original. The only exception I could think of would be live musicals, but that is an entirely different format. I also wouldnt find the remakes too annoying if they would have one come out every few years and release some original movies too, so people who do love original Disney movies can have something to see, and people who want to watch remakes can go see a remake. Releasing the remakes back to back to back is overwhelming and I'm finding it hard to like the company in it's current state. I dont want to go watch any new Disney movies because they arent new and they will certainly not live up to the original because they're only used for money.
I'm also okay with the ideas to remake the Jungle Book and Dumbo for a similar reason. The original Jungle Book feels more like a few episodes of a tv show than a coherent film, for instance. Not bad, but not Beauty and the Beast, either.
QuillPenMonster, well, good news. Mulan is going to be different. I believe it’s more based off the original story
@@joeyjerry1586 Sadly, Mulan was absolute garbage. Maleficent is the only recent remake I've enjoyed.
Alice in Wonderland was even more better than the animated bc it was a Tim Burton film and I loved Tim Burton's style so he made Alice in Wonderland better than the animated, in my opinion at least. Maleficent was also better bc it was very very very different than Sleeping Beauty, I actually grown to like Maleficent

Walt Disney would be so disappointed of what Disney has become
Yeah greedy untalented prudes.
Real talent doesn't have a price. It's privileged.
To be fair, Disney would be more upset with the fact that there are Jewish executives and female workers.
@@azrieldawson7377 I know that people said he was sexist and a Semite, but on those Disney documentaries, a lot of his non-white, non-Christian animators said he wasn't racist. So I guess his true nature is unknown unless you're willing to dig deep. 🤔
@Saanvi Srivastava To an extent there is a necessity to dig deep for some stuff since he’d never be too open about that kinda stuff on camera, but even then there have been instances of him and animators/writers by extension making racist cartoon characters or blackface. Beyond all of the racism and sexism though he was also unapologetically a supporter of McCarthyism and condemned many of his striking workers to imprisonment while maintaining a relation with the FBI...and his political sympathies with monarchists/monarchy was sorta overt.
@@azrieldawson7377 Wow...I absolutely did not know about the other things...thanks for sharing that info.
Funny thing is I was born in 2010 and I have seen more of Disney's animated movies than live-action remakes.
Either your parents are doing a good job or you were born with good taste. Those remakes should be consumed by hellfire!
Stick to the originals. The live action remakes add nothing. But, if you do decide to see the remakes (I'd say that The Jungle Book is the best of the lot) be sure to watch the original version first. Your parents are doing a great job!
holy shit dude. I was born in '08, and even I find it disorienting when I realize people born after the end of the 2000s are walking around and having opinions n' shit. Time is fucking wild.
oh, also. I know it's 2 years later, but stick to the originals. Disney is not the same company they used to be, I'd even consider them evil tbh. Sacrificing artistry for a quick buck when they already have all the money in the world, disgraceful.
I can't believe your people are muddying up the internet now.
Disney's 40 year plan
1. Make live action versions of their cartoons
2. Make cartoon versions of their live action movies
3. Make CG versions of their cartoons
4. Make CG version of their live action movies
5. Make live action versions of their CG movies
6. Ruin all of the above
7.Rinse & repeat
CGI can age.
2D animation is timeless.
Point made.
SAW Yet another useless comparison of these type of animations, Seriously animation style doesn’t matter
@SAW
Potent.
Very, very true. I love Toy story 1, but looking back... it's almost hard to watch graphically speaking. Very good point.
Inside out is CGI and it looks good and is also great
Good 2D animation is years work
SAW You know, 2D can age poorly as well. And if you don't believe me, take a look at the cartoon that were released in 70s and 80s.
I would hate a lilo and stitch remake. It's such a perfect movie, it hasn't aged at all, the original watercolor visuals are sooo good, please Disney, let this movie be
Don’t ever look for the Japanese or Chinese versions of Stitch in that case... Because trust me when I say the Stitch ship sold out years ago... Lilo was in one episode... in the entirety of both shows... for a few minutes at most... and Stitch chose to stay with his “new family” instead...
(Admittedly, I haven’t seen every ep - for obvious reasons - but I really wasn’t comfortable with Stitch forgetting Lilo’s very existence...)
Trini Fernandez it’s already been announced. It’s coming
NoArtisticLimitation he didn’t “forget”. My understanding is Lilo grew up, got a boyfriend and Stitch thought she didn’t need him anymore. I’m not pleased about it, but there IS at least a logical reason
Trini Fernandez Lilo and stitch honestly saved me from a dark, dark place in my life. That movie I owe so much of myself to. When I heard it being done live action, I had a giant pit in my stomach
You can’t beat perfection. Ever
I wouldn't mind a Lilo and Stitch remake, just don't make it live action with CGI because that would be nightmare fuel.
Lighting McQueen

If the do a live action cars I will leave all of Disney lmao ((No not really XD
Who's here at the end of 2019 that knows the outcome of all these remakes?
The bad thing is that they are doing even more money, The Lion King and Alladin made loads of money (although the critics are already arguing about it). And If It gives money, why don't make lazy remakes that just want use nostalgia? It's not just Disney though, most of companies are using nostalgia to atract people
The Lion King made me vomit.
And that they do have a few originals down the pipe, too.
My Verdict for 2019:
Dumbo - poor execution but had an interesting plot
Aladdin - decent, I like most of it
Lion King - NO!
Kim Possible - nothing felt natural for the characters
Lady and the Tramp - Worst remake so far!
Recent Disney feels more evil and corporate than the Disney we know and love.

Best song ever!
Oh thank god
It was live at first view for ne. That intro is perfect!
My main issues:
1) Making a remake when you don't add anything to the movie (Meleficent is a good example of how to make it well)
2) CGI animals are never as expressive as the originals, and therefore you miss out on quite a lot of emotional connection.
3) Characters lose their charm very often. Jafar for example. What happened.
4) CGI + live action somehow looks and feels less realistic than animation.
If only their was a live action movie that was good.
CGI animals CAN be good, Disney just picked the worst style for them by focusing too much on making them look real instead of compromising with stylization.
@@cassualtea2040 They also seem to think that animals are blank slates that do not have any way of expressing their feelings or opinions when that's absolutely not the case. Anyone who's ever been around an animal, especially a mammal, would know that.
Simba just stands there blankly during the stampede. Now...for a real animal you'd be seeing 'fret/fidget' going into 'fight or flight'.
He would probably start by crouching low to the ground with his tail held super close. His ears would pull back, his pupils would get wide. He might take a few steps back while staring intently at the threat. Once it was clear that danger was still coming he would turn to run. His hair would be standing up straight. His mouth would probably be open, as this would give him better ability to pick up smells and pheromone cues but also allow him to breathe more to power his run.
4 years later and this is more applicable than ever - not only that, all the big studios have followed suit to create terrible movies and ruining legacy characters.
My main problem with live action remakes is the loss of expression, color, and creativity from the original animation. Animated lions are more expressive than a real ones. There are many painstaking techniques to make body language and feelings "felt" and conveyed to audiences of all ages. Most of that effort is thrown away when live actors "go through the motions" and real animals try to imitate the original movie...
Yeah, the live action movies don't know how to adjust light and have the same lighting for the whole of the movies, making it seem dull and drab.
snailgirl6 when someone told me there would be a loin kind live action remake my first response was "like the broadway version? I could be down for that"
The response was "no it will be like the jungle book"
"But there are no people in the lion king, it would just be animated to look more lifelike"
@@deplorablemecoptera3024 Yeah, I thought it was going to be the theatre version too.
This is exactly what I was trying to tell my friend but i just GIHSEOGH worDS and you just captured it perfectly
This, so much of this. The live action, realistic lions will NOT be able to express as much. Just simple facts - most predatory animals do not have face muscles apart from those used to open their jaws and snarl. Only primates have such facial expressions like us. Making Simba a real life lion will severely limit how he can look. Andy Serkis chose the right path by making the animals in Mowgli cartoony on purpose

I think my main problem with the remakes is how dingy everything looks. Even in the animated versions, a darker colored scene did not look unpleasant to look at. All the originals have a such a diverse range in atmosphere but when I watch a remake, to me they all give off the same vibes. The Lion King is probably one of Disney's most vibrant works and they're just going to make all these memorable scenes gross to watch.
I agree.
Alice In wonderland and Christopher Robin's color palette is fucking ugly
@@whodatninja439I can forgive Christopher Robin, because England is quite often like that. A magical world found through a portal underground however, should never be that dull looking.
3d animation, very much so whit Photorealistic animation, has more shadows, making the whole scenes seem darker compared. The reason for that has to do whit, in 2d animations, shadows are made by creating a illusion of shadows whit darker colors, but the same saturation. Whit 3d you now have "real" shadows casting darker shadows. There is nothing else to do. If the shadows did not behave or look like shadows, it will freak our mines out. 2d gets away whit it, because again, its creating the illusion of shadows. Sorry this was a bit long.

I wish Disney would go back to their roots with 2D hand drawn animation again. They are missing the captivating charm and emotion that their old movies had. Some of the movies they are remaking are pointless. They should focus on remaking movies that were underwhelming and deserve a second chance, such as The Sword In The Stone, The Black Cauldron, Atlantis and Treasure Planet.
Treasure Planet would be so bad ass in 3D
And so do I wish too!
Basically the only one of that list I see the public having any appetite for is Atlantis. Which I'd be so down for. We need an Atlantis remake now.
Well, nowadays, very few people will watch that style of film. Not just Disney but other companies, since 2D animation in 2000 or later has already killed kill Fox Animation (another Saberspark video).
@@jamesgrettoons414
Good luck with a 2D animated film being Marvel levels of popularity like back then.
People:animation is for kids
Me: oh so I guess I can take some children to sausage party, cool.
I love the Alice in Wonderland movie, it's the only live-action Disney movie that I truly loved. Mostly because it was its own story, not a bland remake with a bunch of PC cultural thrown in to make it "modern". I truly can't stand the other live-action rubbish.
It was a sequel of sorts (a good one mind you) or a where are they now movie, plus it was dark like actually pushing its PG rating dark.
That's sadly something we really haven't seen from Disney in a very long time and this was a kind of darkness of which you truly didn't know if Alice was going to live or die, plus there was a moat of blood and chopped off heads. You wouldn't see that in a modern animated movie today, you would see that in the early to near first ones but not now.
Also, Tim Burton was behind this dark, beautiful cocktail of madness, need I say more?
I feel like the movie should not have been made by Burton. Alice in Wonderland only works if it's surreal and nonsensical, but Burton tried to make it more logical and dark. In the 1951 movie, part of the charm was how unclear it was if the residents of Wonderland were helping Alice or threatening her, because they're not driven by logical thinking. Like, why does the Cheshire Cat constantly tease and mess with Alice only to take a 180 and give her helpful directions?
That whole segment with Mickey Mouse singing was really impressive and disturbing at the same time
Too accurate

"The Lion King" without Jeremy Irons: No.
"Aladdin" without Robin Williams: Blasphemy.
Humbug...
Exactly. No Robin Williams means it won’t be half as good.
James Earl is still in the lion King, it's the only thing preventing me from burning the heratics!
And they cut out Scar's song :(
@@Begeru I'm sorry WHAT. There's no way they'd cut out their best villain song! James Earl Jones my ass, I'm gonna go rip out some director guts
I think Disney has officially lost its magic unfortunately 😔
I'd really like to create movies when I'm older. When doing so, I'd more focus on making a good story and pleasing the audience rather than making money, like Diseny
I just assumed they started doing reboots to extend their copyright for another 100 years.
To be honest I think that's just a product of their plan, I've recently noticed that Disney is weird schemes are starting to get a lot more scummier, they're coming close to their 100th year and their trust trying pretty damn hard to pump out as many remakes as possible. I'm not certain if it's going to extend there animated properties though, I think they're just trying to cash in on the titles before anything happens. However, I do hope that one day they will lose most of their properties, I'm getting a bad feeling that have Disney expands any further than how they are, there's going to be a really weird dystopian Monopoly on most of the products in America.
Disney is the worst company in the world with their copyfucks
or like Hollywood, they have run out of ideas
Remakes you mean not reboot! reboots are for when you tell a completely different story to start a new franchise like Batman Begins, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Casino Royale, Star Trek and Man of Steel and Spider-Man Homecoming are true reboots.
Now Disney live action films, Elm Street, Robocop, Rob Zombie's Halloween, Suspiria etc. are remakes, plain and simple because they tell the same story as their original films. Remakes and reboots are two different things
Plausible but I think it is because of their up coming streaming service as making a remakes is easy way to add more content.
What's funny to me is that the remakes don't make me nostalgic at all. Just looking at 2016 alone, I didn't get thrilled when King Louie started singing I Wanna Be Like You. It is out of place and completely random. What made me feel nostalgic? You're Welcome from Moana. It is catchy and animated beautifully that feels like a callback to numbers like Be Our Guest, Friend Like Me, and Just Can't Wait to be King.
This
Totally agree!
I see Disney as a little kid afraid to even step in the cold pool of *ORIGINALITY*
I avoid the remakes since they never look good. The only ones I’ve seen and liked are Alice, Cinderella, Maleficent and Beauty. I did not like Aladdin nor Mary Poppins Returns. I listened to the soundtrack of Lion King and hated it so much. I might see Mulan though.
Don't watch it
This comment aged 😭😭
The Mulan one is actually good. Not better obviously, but still good enough to watch. And honestly, the beauty and the beast live-action movie is the best one in my opinion. Since they fix some problems from the animated movie and add some new things. Like what happened to bells mom and the people who lived in the castle
There's another point to these remakes that I'm surprised more people don't bring up: Copyright.
It's a well-known fact that _most_ Disney movies aren't original IP's, and are instead based upon older stories that (at the time) were in the public domain. However, after releasing their versions, Disney has continuously pushed for stricter copyright laws so that no one else could make adaptations of Alice in Wonderland, The Little Mermaid, etc. the way they did. Notably, Disney pushed to extend copyright protection to _"lifetime of the author + 70 years"_ back in 1994. These live action remakes, in addition to being veritable cash cows, also act as legal walls against other aspiring creators who may want to make their own adaptations of classic stories that _should_ be in the public domain, such as Peter Pan or The Hunckback of Notre Dame.
Didn't even think about that, but it doesn't surprise me. Most (if not all) companies would love to own every conceivable intellectual property, just so they could charge people to experience them.
Does not work for those stories since they are considered Public Domain now. How many iterations of Cinderella are out there now?
Didn't stop Andy Serkis from making his own spin on the Jungle Book that was actually closer to the original source material
@@bratticuss I think it's harder to enforce with a property like Cinderella than it is for say Mulan. Cinderella was a popular story to tell for way too many years. With things like Mermaid they like own Ariel, no one called her Ariel before Disney.
How to snuff out any possible competition 101
The fact they are remaking the lion king makes me appreciate their animated lion king more
And at least people stop treating my like a traitor for watching the Lion Guard. The live action is the enemy now! XD
Kick Saunders lion guard? It's ok watching the lion guard . I loved theme song in the episode s
Kick Saunders You're no traitor it's a show that still uses the style of animation that the animated lion king had
DItto, but with Beauty and the Beast
@@Ranstone yeah your no traitor. I also like Lion Guard. I mean look at the fan content from that show.
This is so great. The intro alone deserves a 10/10
Mickey: *shows his collection* later:*holds lightsaber* general grievous:’a fine addiction to MY collection’
Beginning was spectacular bro, great to see it finally finished and the whole video was A+ great work mah dude.
JaxBlade, I think the Lion King remake will be at least decent
Personally, I do not get any of this live-action remake craze. I actually despise this trend. With the live actions, I just cannot get the same life out of the remakes as the hand-drawn originals. All I can feel is a internal screaming of “Cash grab!” With hand-drawn however, I feel the soul and passion of the artists that they invested in, and it just makes me feel great at the end of every movie, even if the plot is less than desirable. I guess that’s why I have grown an appreciation for anime, though it’s questionable at times (and we all know what I mean by that). I hope sometime Disney will go back to drawn animations and abandon this trend.
I couldn't agree more. I haven't watched any of them since Maleficient.. I didn't like that one and at the time it didn't feel like it would be a one time thing. You got the feeling of them settling into a new era. And I'm sad to see that the company seems to have gotten so lazy and uncreative and don't dare to go out of their comfort zone and try new ideas. :(
Money is their main goal now...
I agree although I'm honestly hyped for the live-action Mulan remake
CoCola Hoff And people are _still_ shilling and praising the Lion King remake! The marketing screams shameless, lazy, nostalgia pandering!
@Lady Noire Who tf cares about kids. If they want to watch an old movie they will just pirate it or smh. Disney is making this for the suck ass nolstalgia 90's kids from whom they will get a lot and I mean A LOT OF M.O.N.E.Y.
@CoCola Hoff Disney will NEVER go back to traditional animation or abandon the live action reboot trend as long as the current leadership is in charge. They no longer care about making good art, only about maximizing profits for shareholders.
Mickey's expressions are fucking beautiful 🤣🤣
And his vocals are outstanding
Can’t believe I’m just now seeing this video 4 years late. That intro was fucking incredible
That beginning song is painfully true. Disney DOES have everything!
*except for originality....*
Originality is their kryptonite.
That roast, and his name is *Internet//Rumiya*
Not everything.
@@Mr.DiughGames There was a time were it wasn't kryptonite. The some of the current folks running the company are the problem. To me that is.
Moana and Lilo and Stitch?
Avatar: *becomes the highest-grossing film of all time*
Endgame 10 years later: "I'm inevitable".
Joker : hold my bear
Titanic : *chuckles* I'm in danger....
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron: Wait, you guys are getting watched?
Jacques Lackmeds what that Dreamworks movie with the horse
@@IcyDiamond yes
Can we just appreciate how neutral Saber was on this essay? Like, besides the intro, it's surprisingly objective.
So sad that this was FOUR years ago, and it's only gotten worse.
You know what stuck out to me in Princes and the Frog? when that creepy grandma was singing and said something like "money ain't got no soul" and was like WOWW SHE IS RIGHT!
"Money aint got no heart"
What about a live-action Tarzan and a animated version of Cadet Kelly
Mama odey
That movie is an underrated gem filled with good values.
Lemon Z HEY SHES NOT CREEPY
I will never stop watching animations, they have a certain charm than no live action remake will ever have. if you wanted realism you'd go to the zoo, and honestly I find realistic cartoons a bit unsettling..the pots and living items in beauty and the beast just gave me the creeps..
What about a live-action Monsters Inc. and a animated version of The Lizzie McGuire Movie
i so agree i think these live actions take the magic away the spark they ruining that
The uncanny valley- when something not alive is given live characteristics and our brain can’t quite comprehend what’s happening so we get a creeped out or uneasy feeling

Best intro + song. Truly amazing.
props to the writer/singer

They have Mickey on puppet strings and manipulating him into green lighting reboots!
*This is why they should've kept the hand drawn animation.*
I agree
What about a live-action Coco and a animated version of Twitches
“Agh, I’m butchering it!”
-Disney when the reboots backfire (????)
It must have taken a long time to do the beginning! It looks so great and the music is hilarious. Keep doing what your doing, because it’s amazing.
_That Intro sums up Disney in a Nutshell_ 😂😂😂
true
That "The Rock" as Lightning McQueen got me...
I would rather have a movie about Scar (mufasa's brother), than the real live lion king
What a fantastic idea!
@Nightcor ultimate queen Tiaga, I had that idea for years and I love the idea, and Disney really should do that and it could be 2d animation.
I want a sequel to lion King
That sounds so cool
@@daeganislegit ........They did that though
That opening was just WOW. LOL I feel like should've known Mikey was voiced by Black Gryph0n.😭😂
Watching this now and dying of laughter. Lion king being their biggest disaster and wishing it would just stop while the worst (little mermaid and Snow White) is coming and 20 more are planned.

Ok now I really need to see that movie
@@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761 better question would be, was is green?
so uncivilized
Is Disney selling out? The answer is yes and everyone realizes it. That's why these remakes aren't built to last. Disney is releasing way too many of them and they're also not picking the right ones to remake. We don't really need a Dumbo remake nor do we need to remake Aladdin. And the thing is nostalgia can only being a selling point for so long. Disney is probably going to learn that the hard way
I agree, eventually people will be burned too many times (being excited about their favorite Disney movie done only for it to suck) and people will stop going to any of them. They'll see it soon enough just sad they don't put this effort on maybe a brand new original live action something
Mulan would be an intresting remake than lion king imo. I think they aren't picking the right movies for the general audience for the purpose of children
I disagree. I think most (I'd not all) of these will make a big profit. People that grew up with the animated flims will want to revisit their childhood in a new interesting way.
@@evanrussell9946 unfortunately I think you're right. These lazy remakes won't flop hard enough for disney to stop. Too many people are indocrinated into Disney.
And the sad part is, is that they don't have to keep making these remakes if they're running out of ideas. There are plenty of other amazing fairy tales/old stories/mythology from around the world that they could reimagine as a family friendly animated/all CGI film. Or more suitable for them, a live action version of those stories. But at least it'd be something different instead of another remake or sequel. I'd love to see them do something with Sinbad's adventures. There's a lot of material they can get from there. All of those incredible stories out there, with so much potential to be reimagined by Disney. But yet they'd rather just play it safe with the fairy tales they've already used over and over again.
Beautifully done with the song lol the voice acting was great, Disney should hire you.
I love the intro so much big props Saberspark!
I feel a big part of the problem is they are making the remakes/reboots WAY TOO SOON. I think it's okay to remake movies so newer generations can connect with them, but launching over 3 movies in one year is simply a lot, especially if we also consider they have other 3 Marvel and 1 Lucas or Pixar film as well, making it around 7-8 movies a year. If they only made one live action remake and one animated film a year, or 2 live actions until the next animated feature launched, things would be better and easier for the audience to consume.
Also, many live action films lack of a real style. When you see an animated Disney film, you can see how they play so much with the color pallette, the character's faces and shapes, and the movie's physics. They make musical scenes and talking animals feel really nice and enjoyable. When translating all of this into hyper realistic CGI and real people, things don't go exactly well, and most of the times they go into the uncanny valley and some undesired color pallettes. This doesn't mean Disney can't make good-looking live action films because hell they can, but not everything will work with live action; it simply can't happen.
Another reason why Disney keeps making these reboots and not applying to more original stuff is because their originals mostly fail. I've seen Disney trying to make more serious adult movies like "The Black Hole", "Tron", "The Rocketeer", and recently "John Carter", "A Wrinkle in Time" (twice) become big let downs for the company. So Disney does give a chance to other ideas and properties but because of the audience , more into the geek and nostalgic communities, that let these movies crumble. Its a big risk.
I will scream of they don't make a third TRON.
I agree, Disney has tried some very interesting experiments, and the audience just didn't go along with them, so they did what is basically the smart thing . Probably their most successful recent gamble was the original Pirates of the Caribbean which they then proceeded to run into the ground.
Maybe bc their originals are equivalent to what a twelve year old wrote on wattpad trying to prove that they're 'grown up'? Disney's originals always try to cater to an adult audience like a teenager would. Maybe if they tried ACTUALLy writing instead of saying "this what they like, right?" then they might produce something good.
Tron was popular in the 80s from my understanding until they made a sequel and a reboot. John Carter was a mistake. A Wrinkle in Time the original shouldn’t count because it’s a made for TV movie and the second one flopped because they had to change the plot in order to extricate it from religion and not alienate audiences. Problem is that book is HEAVILY reliant on Christianity. They’re just picking the wrong things
"Tried" might be an overstatement. They might have thrown money at it, but the problem is that no one making those movies has passion for it. You can always tell when people are passionate about the movies they make, because that feeling bleeds over into their work. Movies like Lord of the Rings and the Secret Life of Walter Mitty clearly have loads of passion, but the majority of these remakes are heartless and performances fall flat aside from one or two stand-outs per movie
Haha, love the intro to this!
You should make an update to this video, now adding all the new remakes that came out since 2018... Cruella, Pinocchio, Little Mermaid (once it's out)
That intro was just perfect, I love it, I’m in love thank you this made me so happy, it was so true it was funny.
When It comes to remakes (from any studio), I've always fallen into the camp of, "if you can genuinely improve on the original, then go for it." The problem I see with the Disney"s live-action remakes is that they either make changes that don't actually improve it or they do shot-for-shot remakes which leave me wondering why they bothered.
Gail Bull what about a live-action Toy Story 2 and a animated version of Gotta Kick It Up!
I prefer Toy Story as it is personally
@@chelseacavanaugh278 I'd rather see an animated version of Black Hole...
Kevin Sullivan ok
@@chelseacavanaugh278 That's an early 70s Dizknee live action movie.
I wish they would stop listing Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland on the "remake" list because it's not. It's a whole separate ,standalone adaptation. Burton's film has NO connection to the beloved 1951 animated classic. Disney RELEASED both movies but that's it.
I know I was thinking that too. Nothing about the live action version of alice in wonderland was a word for word, scene for scene adaptation.
@@ZachlyGaming Well even in the animated classic Alice is older than in the book. In Lewis Carroll's novel she is approximately 5 to 7 years of age. In the animated classic, she appears to be a 10 to 13 year old, a pre teen. That could be because she was drawn to look like Kathryn Beaumont who voiced her, herself a "tween'
@@ZachlyGaming Alice is also of high school age in the 1972 British movie starring Fiona Fullerton,, who was 15 when she did it, but looked more like 18. Despite Alice being older this adaptation is said to be the most faithful to the original story. Watch it sometime if you can find it. It feels like a "head" film.
That what i hate about disney live action (not their animation , except frozen 1 and 2 , chicken little) , They Have Rarely Connection
@@m.syauqiabdurahman2798 Yes, the 1943 short was closer to the original fable, including the dark ending where everybody dies. The 2005 feature is Chicken Little in name only
A great video! The song you did in the beginning you shud do more off those!
