The Problem With Modern Disney Remakes

- I am reacting to Saberspark's video, "The Disney Remakes Problem (Is Disney Selling Out?)" to discuss if Disney's live-action remakes are any good. With The Little Mermaid coming out soon, I thought this was relevant.

I love Saberspark 💜💜💜
That video was hilarious lol.
I like that guy too
As a woman of color, I hate how many people are rallying behind the race-swapping in Disney’s remakes. Instead of giving us original stories with the same love and care that went into their previous movies, Disney is throwing us their table scraps, and we’re defending it. Disney is a multimillion dollar company. They need to do better
Same thing with Amazon and Rings of Power
I agree. I mean, they pat themselves on the back for race-swapping Ariel, but yet there's still no live-action remake of Princess and the Frog to bring Tiana into the spotlight. I believe she's getting a tv-series, but that's not the same. Also, it's been 14 years since that movie came out and Disney hasn't given us another (original) black princess. That shows how much they really care about 'representation'.
Some new originals with people of color would be great and is very needed. That said, I might just be ignorant but I don't like to assume that Ariel is black for representation reasons. I like to think it's because she was the best actress for the job, and I'd hate for a good actor to be denied this fun role just because they're not white. It's stupid to me that her skin color is even an issue to so many people. I don't see why race swapping is a bad thing unless the film is centered around the experience of a particular group of people, which The Little Mermaid is not. For that reason I defend the choice of a black actress, pending when I actually get to see the movie and develop my final opinion on if the movie is actually good and if the actress is actually good in the role. I could be overlooking something though. That's just my opinion as a white person.
@@cat0fp0rtals39 I totally respect your opinion, but I truly don't think that's the case. Surely, Hailey is extremely talented and her voice is great for the role (I don't know anything about her acting). But there are other factors at play here: The movie has Lin Manuel Miranda working on the music, a man who is famous for Hamilton, where they race-swap real people in history who were white. Before this, Disney worked with Beyonce (as the voice of Nala) in the CGI version of the Lion King. Hailey and her sister are musicians under Beyonce's label. Surely there is a connection there. It is only an assumption of mine, but I don't think Hailey had to audition and compete with white girls for the role. I think they knew from the beginning that they wanted to do this. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I doubt it.
@@Mitsu2040 Ah, I didn't know that. That is sus.
You wanna know what happened to Disney? They began pushing identity politics rather than quality storytelling.
Fr
I wouldn’t even say “identity politics” exactly. What they’re doing is worse, it’s pandering. You can have discourse around identity politics and it’s done well. What Disney and a lot of their media companies are doing is pandering to queer communities and POC in hopes of getting more money out of them. I wish more people would take note of that. Disney doesn’t care about queers or POC, they just want queers and POC’s hard earned money and they’ll manipulate the hell out of people to do so
Gay Men of a certain age will
LOVE Ursula…. Non of us will remember that frumpy kid from Strange World ….
Yes! Diversity for the sake of diversity!! They seem to focus more so on being inclusive rather than making lovable, relatable characters, who just so happen to be POC.
Princess And the Frog is a great example of being inclusive, but also staying true to the classic Disney princess way of story telling. I wish Disney would revert to this time. New and inclusive story and characters, great soundtrack, historical-but graceful, and fun.
For originality, Encanto was BOSS. And I completely agree. Atlantis would actually be AMAZING as a real life movie over things like classic Disney cartoons.
Yessss. If done right and cast well, Atlantis would be SO good!
@@Nani.101 I actually disagree. I think Atlantis is pretty bad
I would love to see an Atlantis live action movie, but it's going to require an Avatar budget to make
@@jussieb7244Avatar is already an Atlantis remake in many ways.
Disney could save themselves if they decided to expand the Encanto universe. People already want a sequel and each character is worthy of a movie. If done correctly, audiences would not grow bored swiftly.
But nope, instead of exploring the abundant possibilities with the Family Madrigal, they continue to dump out crap.
Can we please address the horrible CGI in many of these new remakes? I feel like this is also an issue for many new films, including marvel movies, but these remakes are going to age like rancid milk because they already look mediocre. The original versions have a timeless look that is still beautiful today.
Yes! Visually they usually don’t look that great
Bruh don't even get me started on the Beauty and the Beast remake. Belle's dress was so underwhelming
@@babygirrrl5147 Belle's gown wasn't the CGI's fault. It was the costume designers as well as Emma Watson's preference, thinking it was great but ultimately falling short and underwhelming. You can compare it to the gown in Cinderella (2015). Even Lady Tremaine had more gorgeous gowns compared to Belle.
I Saw a really good video about the issue of cgi/animator/special effects and how those people are overworked and underpaid and get no recognition or credit. It can take months of work to make a short scene and then a director can decide to do it differently and demands a redo in a week. People have to go without sleep or family to make a lousy version of somethinhg they put heart and soul into. Everyone involved in a movie can get credit, recognition, and royalties except the cgi/special effects people that do much of of the work on modern movies.
@@Andreamom001 That's it exactly. Add into it an unreasonable time table to finish projects and you get bad CGI.
2D animators I think have gone through similar issues in the past of being overworked. Unfortunately I think the movie industry has a habit of taking their artists for granted.
I actually liked the Cinderella live action movie. It stays true to Cinderella's approach on feminism without making it too woke, they actually managed to give Prince Charming a personality, they established more plot that was both relevant to the story and to Cinderella's character, and the costume designs were amazing. Also, Cate Blanchett steals every scene she's in-her acting and her gowns are just stunning. The only problem I had with it is how slow-paced it was.
I agree, but I still don't like it because I saw it done better in Ever After which Disney already owned through Fox.
@@PoeticProse7 Ever After is an adapted story not a live action of the Disney Cinderella story. Those are two different stories and cannot be compared. Ever After isn't a fairy tale it was more like a historical fictional movie.
I actually think the pacing is better because it wasn't a musical. It's so stunning and gorgeous and I think that it's better than the original
Out of all the nostalgic Disney movies, Cinderella definitely deserved the reboot treatment the most. The original Cinderella is so bland, and the reboot does the story so much better.
@@Evening2458 Live action Cinderella wasn't bad or anything... It was pretty good as *A* Cinderella movie... But as a remake... I really prefer the original.
Animated Cinderella was _so_ strong. She was a young woman trapped in an abusive home since she was a child. But she was still sassy, and proactive, and hopeful. She worked hard in all the ways she could to make her life better.
Live action Ella was kinda... Passive and dreamy tbh.
Like, there's one scene that says so much about the differences between the two movies imo. When she gets locked in the attic by the Stepmom while the Sisters are trying on the glass slipper at the end of the movie.
Cinderella screams and shouts and bangs on the door, and then when it seems hopeless, she hears her animal friends and begs them for help, and with that help she gets out, and runs down just in time.
Ella... Sings a cute song while sitting by the windowsill... And the only reason the Prince and servants hear her and realize there's another girl in the house, is cause the animal friends decide to open the _unlocked_ window all on their own. (And if the attic is so far down they can hear her singing to herself, I'm pretty sure they'd have heard a "Excuse me! I've been locked in the attic! Could someone get me out? I'd like to try the shoe too please!")
Disney Should've rebooted their past poorly Performed movies to redeem themselves, but they chose not to. Movies Like Treasure planet and Atlantis the lost Empire deserve the reboot treatment.
I think live action of those would be fun, like Pirates of the Caribbean.
Treasure Planet has a huge following now- it may have had a hard start but I think it's one of the top favorites of more people than most realize!
Not treasure planet. That only flopped because Disney tried to make it flop.
Disney Intentionally fucked over Treasure Planet. They released the film in the middle of November with barely any marketing and it released against The Santa Clause 2, a massive Disney hit. Because it was a Christmas movie released at Christmas time. If Treasure Planet had released in the spring, it would’ve likely been a hit.
or they could create a sequel/spinoff for them instead of rebooting. It has a cult following so it makes sense for them to capitalize on it.
“Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin good forces have invented or made”
- JRR Tolkien
The problem with 'dont fix what is not broken' is that they actually change everything but the names about the ips. Race swapping, weird morality swap, complete change of the story to be female centric. Dont get me wrong, female lead movies can be great, but changing a known story for it just isnt doing it.
I am still moving about the line in "Beauty and the Beast" where LeFou tries to calm down Gaston saying that he's like this because he's become addicted to the horrors of the war... stop trying to justify him!
The greatness of the OG Gaston was that he was an horrible person that could lead a whole village into cruelty just "thanks" to ignorance, mob logic and toxic masculinity. No justification, he is just a horrible person in a society that enables it. That was a far stronger message.
And don’t forgot all the lgbt added randomly.
@@brotquel1592 yeh Gaston is a garbage human being. I cringed so hard at that
@@charity9660 as someone who is in the LGBTQ community, it has gotten waaayyy too preachy which is annoying
In Aladdin where Jasmine sings speechless was cringy
I think Disney missed a massive opportunity to make Aladdin a Baliwood type movie.
Can you imagine the colors, the dancing, the MUSIC! Will Smith is good as the genie, but he knew he couldn't replace Robin Williams; and he was only comfortable with the role when he stopped trying to. He achieved what he needed to do and he's fun to watch!
Yes! That would’ve been great.
But of course, Disney knows that nobody wants something different.
Being another interpretation of something, even if it’s from preexisting material, is just as important.
They sure did and the Prince Ali and Harvest Dance weren’t enough nor the ending dance?
I mean to be fair, Will admitted up front he was never trying to replace Robin Williams and that he would be doing his own thing.
I disagree with this. That would hammer it in even more that south asia and the middle east are just interchangeable to Disney and to Hollywood in general apparently. The fact that Jasmine is not played by an Arab is bad enough. That's one of the reasons that people complaining about Ariel being black in the live action pissed me off so much because I don't remember a single complaint about Jasmine's casting but that was fine because all brown people are the same right? Apparently "accuracy" only matters when it concerns white characters. I love Naomi Scott but she should not have played Jasmine. She is the only Arab princess we have and the role should have went to an Arab actress. Bollywood has nothing to do with Arabs and the middle east, Aladdin is not an indian character but after watching the movie you wouldn't know the difference because it treats us as interchangeable. This is why a lot of Arabs refused to watch the movie, it's erasure and frankly insulting.
Bollywood films are horrible dude ! Ever five minutes they break plot for a dancing number that makes no sense . It’s not even specific to genre most Bollywood films have then
Saberspark and Brittney is the crossover we all needed in our lives.
Love it!
@@Brittney_Reacts_So do we!
Yes please!!!
Frr!
Out of all the remakes, Christopher Robin was really well done and it actually moved me to tears. It was so cute.
Maleficent was very good too loved CR
Yes it was adorable
Yes! My mom loves this movie!
I forgot that existed. So that and Aladdin are the two I enjoyed only.
Yes! I feel Christopher Robin was the only one that really saved the charm of the original characters. Making all the characters look like actual children's toys saved the movie from that forced CGI look!
I’ve shown my younger sister all the Disney movies. We did a marathon that started when she was a small child where we went in order. She’s now in her teens and we’ve seen the more original movies in theaters, like Tangled and Frozen, but none of the Live-action, those we watch on DVDs from the library. She kind of grew up watching what I did growing up in the 90s.
A lot of her friends though, did get inspired to watch the originals because of the Live-action. A common opinion was that the animated ones were better and that they wished they’d seen those in theaters. Which makes me wonder if what Disney wants is money, why not rerelease the animated ones in theaters every 10 years or so. Market it using that nostalgia “Now you can take your kids to experience the classics of your childhood!” They’d make so much money from that.
Yes, THIS would’ve been the true answer.
They could cash in on nostalgia without having to spend so much money trying to recreate what was already there. From what I've heard, Disney doesn't have as much money as it once did. Gobbling up IP's left and right has caught up with them, along with other issues that I don't need to get into. If Disney still wants to make money off of nostalgia, that's the route to take.
They could even clean up any animation that hasn't aged well so that it'll still look good in something like 4K. I imagine that would still be cheaper than having to hire new actors, rewrite the script, build sets, abuse CGI artists, etc.
Honestly this makes so much sense. Sure do the new stuff but this is guaranteeds money.
Odd thing is, Disney USED to re-release their movies to theaters. The original Pinnochio was re-released to theaters as late as the early 90s. But then the home video boom happened and they found more money through that avenue.
As comfortable as it is to watch a movie from the comfort of one's home, nothing beats experiencing a movie on the big screen.
My local theater does this with cult horror films and its always fun
I really did like Maleficent, taking it from the villains perspective is interesting...like Wicked a retelling from the Wicked Witches perspective in Wizard of Oz. I think those are far more creative when it comes to remakes because it comes from a very different perspective which makes it feel fresh...rather than a remake of the same old thing...takes care of the nostalgia backlash and gives the audience a fresh take on the same tales.
I like them too because, technically, those aren't remakes, the whole principle is "You know that tale you already head about a million times? Let's try this again, but completely different!"
And it works wonders! (especially when they are complete retellings and not prequels)
i love starkids twisted for the same reason tbh! i love these sorts of stories
edit; spelling
With maleficent, it worked for me because of the original fairytale - the fairy that curses sleeping beauty was the only one out of 13 to be not invited to the baptism of the baby, which was a huge insult.
Some movie fairytale versions also make the King be even more insulting - in the story, the reason he doesn't invite the fairy is because they were going to let the faes eat from golden plates, but one was missing and their creator was dead. No one else could remake them like this.
The King in the movie fairytale version doesn't invite the fairy of diligence, saying it's an unnecessary trait for princess. It's this added resulted of diligence being called useless that she curses the kid. She goes through a redemption arc later by guarding sleeping beauty and letting a prince in who she tests and knows is worthy.
The other fae also agreed with the 13th fairy, saying the King was a fool in angering her and arrogant
Mulan is my fave Disney movie of all time. I was absolutely heartbroken by the live action. I was excited when they announced it because I thought this would be a slam dunk for Disney. There weren't many animals to cgi, the songs would've been AMAZING, but they just... It was an abomination. I hadn't really had a strong opinion about most of them I mean I recognize a cash grab. The Lion King wasnt great, but Mulan had me ready to flip tables at Disney headquarters!!!
Mulan basically flipped the whole message of the story.
It went to "No matter of how small or different you are, with motivation, inventiveness and heart, you can achieve anything you want" to "You can do anything, as long as you are the choosen one above anyone else!".
How can you get it so wrong?
It went from a woman empowering movie to women can only get ahead if they're born with super powers
@@manfellafellaman omg right. I was pissed!
@@brotquel1592 right!
Seriously you're better off just watching the actual live action movies made from china about mula from 2009 rather than watch the disney live action mulan if you want a movie more faithful to the mulan poem/myth.
My favorite live action remake has to be the Once Upon a Time series, it’s Disney inspired, with ridiculous campy plots, and one heck of a family tree, and incredibly fun to rewatch. Robert Carlyle is a gem
Yes! I used to LOVE that series!
Honestly a great series, It's got so much charm 🤍
Omg I love that series so much :)
I loved the first couple seasons! But I stopped watching once I realized that they’d never get back to the fairytale realm 😢 I didn’t like them in the real world lol.
I love campy fun Pre 2015!
Another point would be Disney embedding political talking points in their movies in terms of casting, plots, etc., which take you out of the movie. No matter if you agree with a political point or not, nobody wants a lecture from a corporation.
"You see how inclusive we are, putting up pride flags and rainbow colored merch in our stores for a month a year?"
@@brotquel1592 "Ironheart Is the First MCU Series to Cast Not Only One, but Two Non-Binary Actors", CBR, August, 2022. I'd prefer the once-a-year schedule.
@@guygadbois3010 They waited 2022 for this? Wow... they're spoiling us...
If you think they didn't do that in their older movies then you're a fool. Like, you don't think "The Little Mermaid" was trying to say something??
true, it's gotten preachy
What hurts the most is growing up disney always talked about imagination being so important, now imagination doesn’t matter.
This reminded me when the live action Mulan came out. Disney made Mulan “more serious” by removing all of the good songs to make it “more realistic” but added a witch and a phoenix😐 My mom said she liked the live action better and I’m standing there confused like, how??? Not to mention Mulan’s motive to go to war. In the remake it’s bc of her chi, but in the original Mulan goes instead of her father to keep him safe, showing her that she deeply cares about her family. Idk it’s just weird how the remake would be better, it just didn’t work. Just wanted to rant lol
Dads and men in general are being viewed as stupid, dim, and worthless, so of course nu-Disney wouldn't have her fight to protect him.
@@jackpijjin4088 I mean that in a way she wanted to bring honor to her family and make them proud yk
Your mom? She pretty much grew up with the original, why would she think the live action was better? Does she think animation is childish?
@@lovelycloudyskies yeah my mom. Idk maybe she thinks it’s childish bc it’s Disney. I know she enjoys some of them. She said when she was pregnant with me she’d watch the Lion King. But she does enjoy animated movies like Brave. It’s her favorite movie
I think I still hold so much love for the first Alice in Wonderland live action because of the dark fantasy aesthetic. It tickles my inner pre-teen who was in their emo phase when it came out lol
Oh the first Alice was veeeery Emo 🖤
That was the movie me & my husband saw on our first date 13 years ago cuz we're both Tim Burton & Alice fans so that first movie is a special one for me
are you referring to the 2010 jhonny depp version?
@@Shalayah2010 Yeah.
literally same 😂
As a parent of a 4-year-old, she has my old VHS player attached to the TV and has her own selection of hand me down VHS Disney movies. We also have Disney+ for all of the other movies that we don't have. I personally won't let her watch the remake movies until she has seen the originals. Gotta appreciate where it was to where it is now. Funny thing too, she prefers the originals so far to the remakes. She does *not* like the lion king remake at ALL and I don't blame her.
The problem isn’t necessarily remakes themselves. It’s changing everything about the original (or the original we all remember and love) or politicizing what shouldn’t be and turning it into something else. They commandeer a classic to mold into their garbage and think no one will notice or care. It’s lazy.
Yup! We want to see our classic favorites come to life, not have them be ruined by using what we loved as a tool to bludgeon us into compliance with GroupThink.
I agree. And if we oppose the remake people assume we don't want to see "anything new" or "anything change" which is just untrue🤨 we just want the originals to be left alone. I would rather see new STORIES. New stories matter
Exactly. Create a new character and story however you like but don’t steal a beloved character and turn it into something entirely different.
@@conservativesavage1076 right. Then it doesn't feel genuine. Like it somehow feels like it's being forced to be something else. Like I heard that Snow White is getting a remake but apparently she will be Latina? Which I genuinely don't understand? Like they would have to make MANY changes for that to work for SNOW WHITE 😕 I want inclusivity but this is not the way to do it because it makes changes to something that exists plus it throws out a new idea that could have been made! 😞
@@internetclown904 exactly! Snow White got her name from very specific physical characteristics. Making her Latina just throws it all off from the start. They don’t care what they do or how little sense their bs makes. And then forget the fact that a black Ariel doesn’t make sense considering where the story originated from but apparently in this new version she doesn’t need a man…Ariel literally gave up her voice for legs and her man. Even other versions she sacrifices herself for the prince. Then if that wasn’t bad enough the one song I’ve heard part of do not sound the same. The words match but the tune is different and I wasn’t a fan. I’m also gonna assume one of my favorite Disney songs is probably not included (poor u fortunate soul). The funny thing is my favorite Disney songs from childhood wouldn’t exist today if the original was made now rather than the time it was. It’s ridiculous
I don't consider Alice in Wonderland a remake because not only is it a princess formula where the original was not but also this was a completely unique story. I think that was the reason for its massive success. Now it's basically fanfiction rehashed of old material with the very same plot and plot points. (Britney, adore your videos, but the Disney Renaissance was in the 90s, not the 2000s. It started in 1989 with The Little Mermaid and ended in 1999 with Tarzan.)
Yea definitely liked the first Alice and felt it was unique and based on my age at the time it came out.
I was never influenced anything about 3d movies like Avatar as I didn't even want to see it or care to.
@@gucciguy3408 It's a gimmick and gimmick flicks are rarely all that good.
The Alice in Wonderland live action is in my eyes more of a sequel to the animated movie than a remake of it. There are also hints in the movie for that, like with the scene where she enters wonderland and they say something like "she should know", "she was here before", "did you bring the wrong Alice?" (I can't remember the correct words. Haven't watched it in a while) and because it's a sequel, not a remake, it has this unique Story and works really good.
there is also a scene in the movie depicting a younger Alice in the same age-range and clothing as the animated one, painting white roses red - so yeah, the first rl 'Alice in Wonderland' is basically a sequel to the animated one, where Alice had forgotten all about Wonderland because, back then, it was all nothing but a dream for her - hence why it worked, which can't be said about the second rl movie
Yess, I agree with everyone!
Alice is more of a retelling than a remake.
It has 7 of the highest grossing movies in the last 8 years. It had 8 of the 10 highest grossing in 2019. It is the monopoly of the film industry. On the same day that he announces more sequels and franchises, he lays off 7,000 employees to boost profits. That's Disney.
Let's not forget, with releasing Disney+, the company owns literally every phase of the process in the movie industry. It is a monopoly in the truest sense.
The funniest crap I’ve ever seen about this was when I found an article about how Disney is “a pioneer of representation!” And the article said, “Disney has been doing great with representation, from making the cyclops in ‘onward’ a lesbian, to casting real life Asians in Mulan 2020!” Real life Asians. Wow.
The live-action 101 Dalmations, with Glenn Close as Cruella, is phenomenal. It also would be a crime not to mention the other actors Hugh Laurie, Jeff Daniels, Joely Richardson, Joan Plowright, and Mark Williams.
One I wish they would do a live-action remake for would be Treasure Planet. That movie came out at the wrong time and is sorely underrated
I’m honestly surprised it wasn’t talked about.
And now there's news that The Little Mermaid remake isn't even done with their CGI despite the May release date. What could possibly go wrong? 😂
A lot of movies though work on CG till the very last minute, it's not really a bad sign
Tbh,I think the main reason is that Disney has just kinda run out of ideas
Oh, I bet you there are a TON of people working for Disney who have some truly stunning ideas for films. Companies don't want to take a single "risk" anymore, because it's not about making good film...it's about shutting up the stock holders, keeping them quiet and content, so they keep shoving more money into the C-suite's pockets. Because that investor money, hell ANY of the money Disney makes, sure as shit isn't going to the people who do the actual labor to make all this shit. These movies aren't made for humans; they're made for shareholders. Since almost the entire stock market is held by a few giant financial firms, it's not real people these movies are for. It's just one soulless company making films for the pleasure of another soulless company. They're not really meant to be watched as we understand it. Plus, the far right, in the US at least, will cause a huge noise if there's even a hint of "wokeness", whatever the hell that even is since it seems to constantly change to fit a narrative. So I'm sure there's truly amazing stories floating around Disney that won't be told because there are giant forces making the company do the same derivative garbage over and over. I mean, look at the giant stink that was made over a film talking about, GASP, PERIODS! Now imagine if, good forbid, A TRANS is anywhere near the camera! So don't expect Disney to ever tread new ground because it'll never happen in the current climate.
Frankly, this might be because I’m in the UK where we have an outward look on the US, but doesn’t it feel like the far right’s outrage is being used for marketing nowadays?
You tick off the right people who will spend literal months, if not years, projecting onto something because it’s easy money and then people who are content with just letting the average person live their lives go “Oh, these idiots are complaining about a children’s movie again. Might take the kids to see that.”
It also goes the other way. I mean, as we saw with Nike and the new Harry Potter game, people will hate-spend money like no one’s business out of sheer spite.
@@ChristopherSadlowski If Disney wants to please the shareholders, well, first it needs to please the general public, not divide it, otherwise the answer will come at the box office, which are getting worse and worse when it comes to a live action remake or continuation of consecrated franchises. And look, don't think that this is happening only in the USA, but even in countries like mine, Brazil, people are not liking it. And the worst, who complains is accused of crime. But this, in my country, makes no sense. The majority here is mestizo and mixed race. And because of Disney's decision to mix political and racial agendas in a poorly done way, taking advantage of actors suffering hate and trying to pass a false image of those who care about diversity, this collaborated even more with the polarization of something so serious.
Disney is digging its own grave.
With how rich they are and how many artists they have employed that is literally impossible. They just don't want to risk originality anymore I guess.
Speaking of "plagiarism" -- The reason Disney is doing all these remakes is because if you do a live-action adaptation of an animated story . . . YOU LEGALLY DON'T HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT OR PAY ROYALTIES TO THE ORIGINAL AUTHORS / ARTISTS.
Also, it speaks to how effective Disney's brainwashing was over the last 40 years when every single film they make is called a "Classic" . . . in the film's own trailers, BEFORE it's even released to cinemas!
The content creator she reacted to channel is called Saberspark. Great channel! I have been watching his videos for a few years now and I tend to agree with most of his analysis.
Brittney, your remarks are dead on. It wasn't until you mentioned it that these remakes are targeted towards Millennials who are adults now because the common misconception is that, 1, adults don't watch animation unless there are children present. And 2, it's to elicit the feelings of nostalgia. Those remake may moreso be for us than the children you'd thinking they're targeting.
However, on one note, I remember hearing that kids now don't care for traditional animation because, to them it's flat and boring. Animation geared towards kids are now mostly computerized. So...maybe they're killing 2 birds with one stone with these live action/cgi remakes? 🤷🏿♀️
Thanks for your comment
Most kids and teens nowadays prefer the older animated versions.
@@bk6555 I don't know if the theory reflects the numbers because Disney did away with traditional animation because they have very low box office numbers. Traditional animation doesn't get butts in seats at the theater, which is one reason why we no longer see traditional animation released in theaters much anymore. Traditional animation cost more for these companies, so the pay off isn't there if no one shows up to watch them vs. computerized animation.
@@tarag7292 Live actions have been hit or miss with box office numbers. Besides, I just mean the kids in general do not care about these live actions. I work with them, they do not talk about it once they already seen it, nor clamor for watching it over and over again.
@@tarag7292 Frozen 2 made over a billion dollars
About what you said regarding parents nowadays introducing their kids to Disney, i can say that at least my Dad did (and sometimes still do) that a lot. Everytime Disney does a remake he always ask my sister and i if we watched the original and if we didn't he usually play it or at least tell us to see it.
That’s really sweat! Thanks for sharing
Jsjsjs your welcome! I had a good time seeing your videos so thanks to you for sharing such entertaining content 🤗🤗
The remake that truly broke my heart. Into The Woods. I know it isn't everyone's cup of tea but the original play and basic idea behind Sondheims works is just pure folklore classic.
I love the original musical!
I'd never seen the original and hated Into The Woods just on the notion that "the first half looked dark but wasn't, then seemingly concluded, then pranked me with an intermission (if I was disappointed, at least it was over, but then it wasnt), then by the time it got dark I was just mad it was still going.. Eventually found the original through Sideways and now its one of my favourite things. The marketing and the bait and switch doesnt work if its not a theatre show where intermissions are the norm.
Bernadette Peters in the original musical 👏 👏 she was amazing
@@dragonqueen7146 Also in Cinderella, recognising her, the baker from a Cheers episode, the bakers wife from a Friends episode, and the entire theme of "nice is different than good". Movie probably helped with recognition because it meant knowing Agony and Last Midnight going in. Like, the movies best parts are even better on stage but showed potential.
Honestly, I think these live action remakes exist purely as a way to adjust copyright on theme park assets in order to maintain control in perpetuity since they've pushed copyright extension on the original material as far as governmental lobbying can take them...
I'm quite worried about how the LA ver of The Little Mermaid will play out, since the original animated movie was my favorite as a child. I even enjoyed the the 2nd Little Mermaid and the prequel movie! But seeing how they've treated previous beloved works like Beauty and Beast, it makes me hesitant to see it. Or to even pay to see it. But at the same time I want to see with my own eyes to give it a fair shake. I just hate that despite my thoughts of it, the company will only see that I paid and automatically think it was worth it....
I'm in quite the pickle
Completly agree!!! I would watched on Disney + no way I'm going to the theare to get my heart broken
They’re around to ruin it. Trust me as someone who followed Beauty and the Beast from early production and casting and was there on the night it released. I honestly wish I had never seen it and the rest of them have only gotten worse.
"Snow White" is going to PC . As Zelgar said it has to be being a 80 + year old story." And want to redefine what "fairest" means but i think it is pretty simple and understandable concept.
maybe pirate it, then if you like it pay to see it to show your support. If you dont like it, then disney gets no money from you
@@kaylabillings785 At least for LA Little Mermaid they got a girl who can sing.
Maybe they won't autotune the shit out of her like they did Emma Watson.
What you said about the Cinderella movie was what my sister saw. Ever since she was a little girl, she's loved Cinderella. When the live action movie came out, my mom bought her the DVD. When asked later how it was, she said the same things you did. She didn't care for it.
I'm waiting with excitement and dread to see what Disney's live action version of Lilo and Stitch will be like. It's been a couple of years since Disney announced that it would remake it after Little Mermaid, which would be a "less harmful and stereotypical representation of the Hawaiian people." Although I'm surprised that the representation of Hawaii in Lilo and Stitch was harmful, because before Disney's announcement I didn't think it that way at all and I'm sorry that I haven't seen it as harmful representation of them (if it really was, because I haven't had a chance to ask the Hawaiians about it and what they think themselves). But it is true that these remakes are driven by money because nostalgia is believed and seen to sell to a more mature audience and they are not actually done to right the wrongs of the past.
I still think it's a shame they closed down their 2D animation studio. There's just a certain charm to 2D animation that is harder to achieve in 3D animation and live action/CGI. I do like the 3D animated Disney movies I've watched, but I just wish they had kept on making 2D animated movies as well. As you pointed out in the video, things like expressions on characters are much better in their cartoony Disney style vs a hyperrealistic CGI animal. To be honest, so far I've not really cared for most of the live action remakes, and I'd much rather just watch the originals 😅 Like... I love Lilo and Stitch for example but pls Disney I really don't need a weird looking, uncanny valley CGI Stitch... The only live action remake I'd probably be okay with would be Treasure Planet, that one deserves more love.
Hey! Love your Velma series, and I'm so glad you're covering this. I'm 21 and grew up on Disney Classics like the Aristocats. I've no interest in seeing any of these live-action movies. The actors just aren't good aka Will Smith doesn't hold a candle to the one and only Robin Williams. And my biggest complaint is I love and miss the soul of the classics. The live-action animals especially have no soul, and it honestly disturbs me. Sebastian being a real lobster is something I never want to see. Also, the music isn't nearly as good.
I love Saberspark, he is such a great creator
Yeah love his videos!
If they really felt the *need* to double dip their own IP, the least they could have done was make them Muppet movies, because goodness knows they could use the work. Live action Beauty and the Beast with Emma Watson and Sweetums, Pinocchio with Gonzo and Pepe. Make it meta in the good way.
Omg I love SaberSpark’s reviews! I’m so glad you’re reacting to him lol
More to come!
For me, it's the constant need to look back and fix everything that is stopping Disney from making great strides forth! For every encanto there is like...unnecessary 4 remakes. I question the integrity of those running Disney, and I'm more convinced than ever that Disney rushed their abominable Pinocchio remake to release at the same time as Guillermo's, which is really shady.
The thing is, Disney's first live action remake was 101 Dalmatians a decade and a half before Alice in Wonderland.
It's the best one too. OG!
unrelated but i’m so happy your channel’s blown up!! i knew it would happen! good work!
Thank you!!
To be honest, a lot of Disney's classic movies are remakes of old fairy tales. The difference with them was that Disney put their own unique spin on those stories, making them feel original; whereas these new live action movies are close to shot-to-shot recreations of the prior movies.
What makes me sad is that Disney is truly lazy and has become a greedy self serving company. They've made amazing original films. Encanto, Coco, Moana and The princess and the Frog were great original, diverse films. They have the potential, but they don't care about their audiences anymore.
K, the only memory I have of the live-action Cinderella is watching it with my friends, all of us really liking Cinderella’s ballgown, and all of us headcanonizing that the Stepmother murdered her last husband before Cinderella’s dad (and maybe him too?? idk tbh). Either than that, it’s a pretty mid movie
"You can't fault them for wanting to make money"
Yes I can lol
Exactly. Disney is a WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON. They’re RICH AS FUCK AS FUCK. THEY CAN AFFORD TO USE THEIR REPUTATION FOR CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION. But instead they want to be greedy and like it was discussed earlier- ruin their brand bank. So yes, we can indeed fault them for wanting to make money, lol
Disney is becoming panicked because the IP for Mickey is almost up, just like with other characters. When true fans can get them and make better movies, Disney will have to rethink things. As far as nostalgia, i either in college or wkn as a nurse when a lot of these movies came out like The Lion King, Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. I have SO many memories of babysitting my niece, dancing around and singing that i couldnt being myself to see these LA ones. Beauty and the Beast is my fave but i can probably recreate every scene of Aladdin. To this day i can reenact the entire Friend Like Me scene lol!! But even as an adult without my niece i loved Disney princess movies. I own The Princess and the Frog. I loved Brave (i know people dont like it but i do). I own a lot of the old ones and love them. But i will say Disney no longer makes memorable songs that you love to sing that never get old (or annoying). I miss that 💔.
Yes! We don’t talk about Bruno was the first memorable Disney song in a while
I personally really enjoyed Maleficent and Mirror Mirror. I felt that those live action remakes were a lot more creative and fun to watch, putting a new spin on the old stories. The ones that came after were really disappointing though. I remember being extremely bored in theatres during the Beauty and the Beast remake lol Idk I think they started out good and then Disney just got lazy about it afterwards
The last remake I saw was the CGI Lion King and something about knowing everything that's going to happen while also not getting to enjoy the animation left me feeling kinda..empty. I haven't seen the Mulan, Dumbo or Aladdin remakes; heard such negative things about them that I was afraid to see what they had become. I did see Cruella, since it's a familiar character with a different story. It has serious moments yet doesn't dwell on them for long, it made her character understandable but didn't make the audience feel too much empathy, keeping a quick-pace (sort of the Disney Harley Quinn). Overall it was a fun ride and I recommend it👍
I would recommend Aladdin, only on the basis that at least it has some life to it. Jafar is a joke in this, but the other characters are done well.
@@Mitsu2040 I would recommend a parody musical called Twisted the Untold Story Of The Royal Vizier. On a UA-cam channel called Star Kid Productions.
I just have to say, Jonny Depp and Tim Burton were at the peak of stardom during Alice’s time. Also adding to its success.
Live action reboots of any animation are hit and miss for me. Disney's are almost always a me...especially when the original animation is an all animal cast like Lion King and Robin Hood.
101 Dalmatians and the 2 Scooby Doo movies were well done but you had a lot of human characters in those.
I introduce every kid who comes to my house to animated Disney classics.
Personally, I love the live action Cinderella. It is different enough from the original, and I think the actors were perfect for the roles. Also, that dress is amazing, and the transformation was magical to watch in theaters.
I actually liked Christopher Robinson movie too. I was kinda forced into watching it, expecting to snooze through it, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
That Mulan live action still hurts me til this day-- it's a bit beautiful visually yea, but just... no
That movie was AWFUL
@@Brittney_Reacts_ truly it is... not having Mushu was one of the biggest nerfs too x_x
Wait, I thought 101 Dalmatians (1996) was the first remake
Will be honest…. After Cinderella I WAS DONE!!!!!!….. plenty of plot inconsistencies….. also the 50 version she coordinates the mice and dog to get her out…. The live action she just cries?….. never bothered again!
The only live action that I think should have been made was Pete's Dragon. It was significantly different from the original, had something new to say, and fankly, the original wasn't exactly that good. All the rest were too similar to justify a whole remake. Maleficent and Cruella were the only others that told a different story, but they felt like they should be in a Wicked series, where they explore the classic villains. Cruella would have been the second in that series if they leaned into it. I would much rather they leaned into these live action alternate universe versions of their villains to tell a different story about them than basically copy/pasting their old stories.
Okay, so, first of all, i love to see you reacting to saberspark, i love his videos, lol.
And secind of all, my opinion on live action disney: Alice in Wonderland was the best by far imo. It was a pretty solid direct sequel, and since Tim Burton directed it, we got Danny Elfman's soundtrack, phenomenal CG, and a gothic style and darker storyline. I genuinely adore everything about it. Its fun, its spooky, its goofy. I just, gah id gush about it forever. One of my top 3 favorite movies of all time.
Glad you liked this new format
Cinderella 3 is one of those sequels that was sincerely funny and good
Ok I am gonna be honest, I have trouble reading facial expressions in part due to my autism, so the reason I prefer animation is the exaggerated expressions make it easier for me to follow. The fact all these studios are trying so hard to kill animation is noticed I will say that right now.
Oh my goodness you would not believe how many times I DETEST when people say that think animation is "just for kids". Animation can do so much more than entertainment, it's actual art! And I do notice that only in America they would do this because they just love to label anything to one group only. It was worse is that if you're an adult and watch cartoons they want to say that you're weird or you need to grow up. It's tiring.
Honestly Disney has just been pushing their properties way too much and rushing these remakes just to make more money
Mulan live action really broke my heart 😩
Regarding the very confusing crush on Disney's Robin Hood: may I introduce you to Kovu from the Lion King 2? Man was he popular with little girls back then, me included. And I'm by no means a furry. That being said, I actually love the Lion King sequel and for me, that movie is totally underrated. Same with Fox & Hound. Or even Aristocats. I just love the animal-centric movies. Always enjoyed them more than the Princess movies
My favorite movie growing up was Mary Poppins. I feel bad for my poor parents that had to sit through that long movie that many times. When I got older, they made Saving Mr. Banks. That movie is basically about how Disney bought the rights to the Mary Poppins book and changed it to the point where the author completely hated the work. It painted Disney as the bad guy in the situation, actually. Being interested in creating films myself, I found the movie to be very interesting and I definitely recommend it to those interested in that story, but at the time it felt like an apology from the company to the author of this book. When they made the new Mary Poppins, I got upset. Though I can't speak for the quality of the movie, knowing that this universe has been expanded felt like a kick in the junk. Why make a movie saying that you completely changed someone's source material and mostly used the popularity of the book to sell tickets to something kinda like the book and that Disney did this woman wrong here and then go and make a new movie?
These new movies can be entertaining, but not everything that is entertaining is art. Art is what can change people and bring them together. One of my screenwriting professors used to say something close to "Really bad movies and really good movies have one thing in common; you talk about them after you watch the movie. Mediocre movies won't even be discussed on the ride home from the theater."
Drop some good film or show recommendations if you made it this far. It's hard to find them these days.
Every time they mention the live action Cinderella it's like I didn't even know it existed.
Also, why doesn't anybody talk about live action 101 Dalmatians like Glenn Close wasn't an ICONIC Cruella DeVille?!
At first I was excited about The Little Mermaid remake but now I’m really worried about it. I feel like hardly any of these live action remakes have been worth my time and money. Especially after seeing what they did with Pinocchio, I’m not optimistic.
I don’t get all the hate for the actress/swap for little mermaid. She looks fine to me. The movie may or may not be good, but don’t think it will be her fault.
I hope Halle will be great!
The problem is that it’s an evident “stunt casting” choice…. It’s quite jarring when you take into account 30+ years of licensed merchandise …. I mean…. Disney has done 3 other Mermaid properties…. MAKE A NEW STORY…
@@alejandromolinac actually they legally have to remake their movies every few years to keep copy rights but also because Walt Disney said before he died that he wanted them to keep remaking the movies every few years
@@tacobell1299 Movies don't teeeechnically need to be remade to keep copyright. There's a set number of years until copyright expires and it can actually be renewed through following certain legal processes with the US government. This has a cap though still for how far one can stretch the copyright. That's why Disney had to let the original Winnie the Pooh designs hit public domain.
Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast & The Lion King were recent enough that losing copyright wasn't a fear for Disney. And a good rule of thumb is anything during or prior to 1920s is public domain.
Well people don't like their childhood movies and characters to be subverted like that, now sure it's not her fault but she accepted the role knowing full well that it was a race swap. I don't defend hating on actors/actresses for a role they took but you can't say it's a surprise, or even uncalled for.
Personally, I actually liked the Cinderella live-action MORE than the animated. I felt like they took a more humanizing aspect to all the characters, while still keeping it family friendly. It didn’t feel so much like “good vs evil” as it felt like “good response to pain vs bad response”, which is something that I appreciate seeing.
“good response to pain vs bad response”
Oh, my goodness, yes! Love you for wording this.
About the Maleficient movie - despite Angelina Jolie's performance, if live action remakes of older animated films were a trend going into the 80s and into the 90s... well, I remember another commenter from another video saying that Joan Collins would've been just right for the role, and I agree. Brittney, perhaps you should watch old videos of the soap opera "Dynasty" from the 1980s, and watch Joan Collins in her role as Alexis Carrington. She would've *slayed* the role of the Sleeping Beauty villain, and the movie would've brought in some major bank.

I remember this one time in high school, we were talking about Disney buying Fox and Marvel and my friend was like at this point they're coming for Ghibli and we all shouted
HELL NAW
Disney don't even care about proper remakes anymore. They want to check off as many "social justice" checkboxes they can to appeal to the absolute smallest group in society that won't even pay to go see the movie in the first place.
I do not gain anything by Ariel being black. It's only there because they think it'll make them money. Not because they actually care about an authentic black mermaid story.
With princess and the frog, the most beautiful era ended. I was so happy but so sad when it came out, cause I knew it would be the last one of its kind. It was nostalgic, yet inclusive and refreshing.
Part of what helped Alice in Wonderland work was that it was a sequel, introducing familiar characters and settings, but with a new story. The other remakes are introducing the same story, but changing - "updating" - the characters, music, and settings. They've got it backwards.
1996’s 101 Dalmatians with Glen Close dressed impeccably in fur and smoking cigarettes like the evil, rich villain she is! That was a great live action remake!
omg Raya has got to be the most forgettable Disney movie ever. idk who remembers the plot even because it feels like nothing happened. And the dragon is just awfully designed with Elsa's huge eyes. it's that bad tbh.
Ariel was my favorite princess so I hope the live action is Maleificent and Cinderella quality. What’s giving me hope is that Haley Bailey is an amazing singer, so atleast the soundtrack will be good.
Disney is able to make good live action remakes, just look at the beauty and the beast anniversary with H.E.R. It was good, the music was great, choreo, they even mixed some animation with the live action and it worked. (What I’m saying is I guess everything should be directed by Jon M. Chu.)
What’s also sad and annoying for the audience is that when these remakes are truly bad the company won’t really see it because of the profit that is being made. People will go and see these movies to see if it’s bad or good. They will hate watch it which I just making more money for Disney and to them the profit equals approval. I say that because they have a pattern of turning off comments on their videos.

Yess, i was (and honestly am) obsessed with atlantis the lost empire. It shaped me as a person. Also this is not disney but The road to eldorado was also a very important part of my childhood. My personality actually ended up being basically a mix of milo from atlantis and miguel from eldorado.
Well i love cinderella (2015), but i respect your opinion.I managed to get access to disney+ and cinderella movies are the one's i watched first cause i remember memories of watching them. I'm 16 and i still love them even (2015) one althought it was basically the same story i just watch it so i can understand the caharacters more of cinderella, the stepmother and the prince! Although my top 1 in cinderella films will bi Cinderella 3, I still give props to what 2015 version has to offer even though it was less it was still meaningful to me in a way plus I love Lavender's blue dilly dilly.
Parent of 2 here. I absolutely make my kids watch the classics. They don’t always like them as much as I did/do…but that’s ok. 😆
Give it a few years. I'm sure they'll be thankful you showed them the good stuff. :)
Their minds have been ruined by technology
What I would love to see is a LIve Action/3D movie about Madam Mim. She's the one of the few villains to actually survive the movie she was in (Despite dying in the book it was based on) and she is incredibly fun to watch. She Chews the scenery like a champ, and is an unapologetic villain through and through.
Also. I live with a roommate who says animation is just for kids and as person who wanted to be an animator when i was younger, it’s really frustrating to hear them say that when they don’t even try to watch the movies or shows.
hey just wanna say you are playing it smart with these videos
be sure to take breaks
Thank you!
About Cinderella 2015, I liked it for a few reasons. Major one being they included my favorite scene from the Charles Perrault story the Disney 1950 is based off of (the father getting the tree branch) so that is 100% personal. But it did focus on Cinderella more, which was nice.
BUT the 1950 Cinderella felt more like a person, she fought back being locked in her room! I also loved the house and the details, I LOVE me some good background/costume details. But I recognize that is a me thing more than a good movie thing. Kid me liked Star Wars EP 1 for that reason, so ya very personal taste.
2:54 Mickey: You know, I never had much as a kid. Just creative team, stability, and a profitable company - useless crap. But once I get my wish, I'll finally have the one thing that will make me happy!
2:58 Mickey: All of the magic in the world...for me! And no one else gets any. Is that so much?
Brittney, I love your channel. You are so authentic, your opinions so well thought out, and honestly your voice is SO lovely to listen to!! You're so comfortable in your videos, nothing feels scripted. Subscribed and currently binging every video on your channel!! :)
When it comes to live action Beauty and The Beast here where I live we had THE SAME EXACT DUBBING FROM THE ORIGINAL ONE so I never truly experienced the terrible singing. And about Alice in Wonderland...well after watching Coraline any crazy or spooky was a perfection in my books XD
You're content really great. Really hope your other videos get as many views as your velma ones. Keep it up
I hope so too!
That parady is hilarious! 😂 thanks for sharing! I'll have to check out that channel next. Love your channel! Can't wait to catch up on some of your older items.
My Favorite Disney Remakes:
1. By the way: Cinderella (It has become generally one of my favorite films. It is beautiful, cozy, fabulous. I can watch it under any mood)
2. Aladdin (A huge plus of this film was Jasmine, played by Naomi Scott. I liked the character in the movie much more than the cartoon character. And so the film itself is quite gone. It is bright, musical, very aesthetic)
3. Maleficent (This is one of my mom's favorite movies, but it also came to me. Cool dark fantasy)
4. Cruella (After this film, I went in black-white-red colors for two more weeks. And also this movie is very fashionable and cool)
5. Alice through the Looking Glass (He was bright and witty)
6. Christopher Robin (He was very sweet and sincere. Just the feeling of childhood began to play. Not my personal childhood, the excerpts from it, but the sensations of this childish state)
7. Beauty and the Beast (It probably helped me that I watched the Russian dubbing and all the actors could sing (although I listened to it in English and it was quite normal, maybe I just had a bear on my ear). And so it's quite normal. Although Gaston was supposed to be played by Henry Cavill and the yellow dress, as if not from this movie...
I think I liked a lot of remakes, one way or another. And it will probably be easier to name which films I didn't like.
It will definitely be: The second Maleficent (I liked the outfits there... I can't remember the other advantages... Aurora is good there... That's all I'm afraid of.); Pinocchio (They certainly gave the kid a lot of shit, literally and figuratively. He is very cringe-like in places); the Lion King (a burden that I have already seen. And that's where all the dissatisfied reviewers hit the bull's-eye, so it's that realistic, emotionless animals will not look organically in a musical number!); and Mulan did not roll me in (There was a lot of things that were wrong and not logical both in the film and behind the scenes).
Мои любимые диснеевские ремейки:
1. Как раз Золушка(Он стал вообще одним из моих любимых фильмов. Он красивый, уютный, волшебный. Я могу его под любое настроение смотреть)
2. Аладдин(Огромным плюсом этого фильма стала Жасмин, сыгранная Наоми Скотт. Персонаж в фильме мне намного больше понравился, чем персонаж мультфильма. А так сам фильм вполне зашёл. Он яркий, музыкальный, очень эстетичный)
3. Малифисента(Это один из любимейших фильмов моей мамы, но и мне он зашёл. Классное тёмное фентези)
4. Круэлла(После этого фильма я ещё две недели ходил в чёрно-бело-крассной гамме. А ещё этот фильм очень модный и крутой)
5. Алиса в Зазеркалье(Он был ярким и остроумным)
6. Кристофер Робин(Он был очень милым и душевным. Прям чувство детства заиграло. Не моё личное детство, восполинания из него, но ощущения этого детского состояния)
7. Красавица и Чудовище(Мне наверно помогло, что я смотрел русский дубляж и все актёры умели петь(хотя я на английском послушал и вполне нормально, возможно мне просто медведь на ухо наступил). А так вполне нормально. Хотя Гастона должен был играть Генри Кавил и жёлтое платье, будто не из этого фильма...
Я думаю мне многие ремейки понравились, так или иначе. И наверно будет проще назвать какие фильмы мне, прям, не понравились.
Это точно будет: Вторая Малифисента(Мне там понравились наряды... Остальные плюсы вспомнить не могу... Аврора там хорошая... на этом боюсь всё.); Пиноккио(Парнишке они конечно знатно поднасрали в прямом и переносном смысле. Он очень кринжовый местами); Король лев(тягомотина, которую я уже видел. И вот где попали все недовольные обзорщики в яблочко, так это в то, что реалистичные без эмоцианальные животные не будут органично смотреться в музыкальном номере!); и мне не вкатила Мулан(Там очень много чего было не правильно и не логично и в самом фильме и за кадром).
I personally felt James Earl Jones phoned it in. The emotions in the first one he did were fantastic! But this one I felt he was just reading the lines to be done with it and to get out of the studio.
“if you grew up in the 2000’s and weren’t watching Disney what was wrong with you!? Were you neglected?”
Yes. Yes I was lol.
12:40
When you said the Marvelization of Disney, I imagined like a Avengers type of crossover with all the princesses
The original Alice had something Disney will never have again: TIM BURTON. And he's OK being outside the diminishig grasp of the clutches of Disney.
Through the Looking Glass wasn't written by Tim Burton but James Robin and Linda Woolberton. The previous one was directed by Tim Burton and screenplay by Linda.
It's sad since Disney Television Animation Studio is the opposite of this. That studio at least has a respect for animation and is still producing new shows and IPs that everybody could appreciate, like The Owl House, Amphibia, The Ghost and Molly McGee, Hamster and Gretel, etc. Their future projects look even promising. Like even if there is a reboot of an old show there, it's for like other reasons other than nostalgia, such as DuckTales or The Proud Family. I don't know how a minor division of Disney understands this more than the actual core Disney division.
So before I say what I wanna say I wanna clarify that I’m not trying to flex on anyone or make myself seem like I’m trying to be better than others or anything. I am so happy I don’t suffer from FOMO. Part of that is from just not being able to throw away money to watch any of these reboots but the other part is that I grew up with originals, I was a Disney kid and even a Disney XD kid. I’ve known, even as a teen, that these remakes and reboots weren’t worth my time or maybe they just never really interested me. I am the type of person that gets more nostalgic pay off from watching the originals so I don’t pay Disney for something I know isn’t gonna make me happy
I’d love to see you make some tier lists of movies or any other disney content!
