      Saw it Friday. An incredibly Spider-Man movie, and addition to this franchise. Miles is slowly becoming one of my favourite hero’s, and the story unfolding there is truly exciting. Then of course, the animation was next to none. Stylistic, Imaginative, and so so captivating.

      It also made me lose any sense of respect I try to have for The Rock.
      He literally gave a lecture at the Oscars on why animation deserves to be respected, especially how the three actresses, playing live-action Disney Princesses, had the nerve to say that it was "for kids". So to see him a few weeks later after the Oscars announce that he's starting as Maui again in a live-action remake of Moana, really pissed me off.

    For me, I think I actually preferred the sequel era over the live action era. There were no real expectations for those sequel films. As an adult, I can look fondly back on them as inoffensive movies with the occasional sequel that was actually good. With the live action films, you can tell that they are trying to make them feel like a big deal marketing the idea that they will recapture the magic when in all reality the majority of all their live-action films are hollow cash grabs. At least the sequel era was sincere with what they wanted to do.

      I agree. Also, the sequels just wanted to continue the originals (even if most of them didn’t do a very good job of it) while the remakes present themselves as “better” than the originals, which doesn’t sit well with me.
      On top of that, I’ve never seen anyone get bullied or insulted or labeled a racist or sexist for not liking the sequels the way they are for not liking the remakes. Even if some of their detractors are actual bigots, that doesn’t sit well with me either because it takes away attention from legitimate criticism.

      It's funny, as someone who loves fantasy, I tend to prefer when the whimsy to be firmly rooted in the real, stuff like Lord of the ring's practical effects and sets really make me believe in magic for the duration of the story... but making it work requires delicateness and subtlety. Those disney live action remakes however, look like the thinnest coating of the originals, inflated with disturbingly high budgets and rushed onto the screens, where they blow up and are forgotten like so many soap bubbles.
      On the flip side animation is still having a hard time being respected as the medium of perfectly controlled creation, where everything is possible provided you have the vision, talent and time, so the projects that get to expand what's achievable with it are few and far between.

    I would argue that the straight to VHS movies were better. Because they were actual original. They answered the question, what happened after the happily ever after? A very curious thought as we all wanted to know what happen to these characters. Now i know this wasn't a movie, But Treasure planet did the same thing in a video game. It expanded the story where jim is now a commander of a ship. And is about to fight a war against space iron clads and shit.
    It is amazing and cool to see the world of these movies expanded. and to experience time with these characters that we came to know and love. Now days it is just repeating old story beats while replacing beloved characters with Failed clones that don't even look like the original. Its like the original is Superman while the remakes are Bizarro superman, but without any of the fun or goofiness.

Disney could have kept money rolling in with rereleases and actually poured some work into new stories. Such a shame. I just hope they start losing money soon so they’re forced to change.

      I guess that could be considered a reason, but I doubt it would stand up in court the way they think. I'm not a lawyer, but pretty sure a remake won't extend the copyright. So yeah, this NEW version would be copyrighted still (whenever that long off future date is thanks to Disney buying Congress in the 90s to extend it excessively) but the original will enter the public domain. And if I understand copyright rules correctly, this strategy would actually backfire as a the person "violating" the copyright could point to the animated version as the source and there would be nothing Disney could argue to show that the person was actually infringing the live-action shot-for-shot remake version! I'd think these remakes would have FEWER protections because of how they were designed and marketed.

  • @jmn327
    @jmn327 Рік тому +4

    I think what made their initial ventures into TV/direct to video work was which movies/characters they chose for it. Aladdin worked since the original movie was a big adventure, not really diving into much deeper themes, so a show based around "Aladdin and friends have more adventures!" works. For Lion King they made a Timon and Pumbaa cartoon that was based around slapstick and ridiculous situations, and it kind of worked since, well, it was Timon and Pumbaa (and the hyenas sometimes), they're comic relief characters. Even the Winnie the Pooh cartoon from the late 80s/early 90s worked since the world of Pooh is mostly about "here's how these characters live day to day, with their small scale issues and adventures"; making a show of that aimed at small children is a pretty successful formula.
    But just making sequels or remakes every movie in the canon, including ones with deeper themes or less adaptable characters, is a recipe for diminishing returns, and lo and behold, here we are. The pursuit of content for content's sake in the age of streaming means it won't be stopping any time soon, though.

    I thought they'd started on a new path with the release of The Princess and the Frog - excellent 2D animation, a classic fairy tale told via a refreshing context set in a more "modern" era, and still had the quintessential markers of a tried-and-true Disney princess-centric film: loveable animal sidekicks, a compelling villain, superb music numbers, and a heart-felt moral to the story. But they abandoned that ship in favor of "live action" (it's mostly CG) remakes. Not even the success of 3D animated fairytales like Tangled and Frozen and Moana could keep them from cannibalizing their catalogue and trotting out soulless remake after soulless remake for profit.
    Why not turn to more recent literary classics from the 19th and 20th centuries to be made into Disney-fied films? The Velveteen Rabbit, Beezus and Ramona, The Phantom Tollbooth, The Boxcar Children, or The Paperbag Princess? Or go international and pick up fairy tales like Anansi the Spider, or The Seven Ravens, or Momotaro? There's so many other stories they could be bringing to the big screen, but they're counting on Gen X and Millennials to bring their kids to these husks of beloved films so they can bank on their nostalgia without risking a box office flop. The audience isn't afraid of risk or originality in storytelling, the executive suite is. That was never the vision of Walt Disney, and I think someone needs to remind Bob Iger of that.

It restraints creative freedom and the willingness to take creative risks.

I don't think people who aren't familiar with social anxiety in some way (be it personal or through acquaintances, academia) will be able to fully appreciate what it has to say. It's niche. It therefore probably won't recreate EEAAO's success. But to people who can relate to Beau, it could very well surpass EEAAO in terms of personal impact. In the way the movie makes them feel seen. You can't quantify personal impact as easily as ticket sales, but to me, it's what art is really all about.

      @undercoverduck ah interesting. Yeah I mean not everything has to be a smash hit to be a success, although companies want to see the money. I agree, they got way too comfortable and I think that's maybe bc of the pandemic: they were afraid of trying something new but at the same time put millions into old stuff. Also they realized they don't need that many people, and with the rise of AI and the writer's strike I fear that they wanna make humans as replacable as possible (see Drew Gooden's recent video for this topic).
      I just watched the Space Ninja video about franchises and I might wanna add that these weird and bad remakes were mostly financial successes. That's why Disney keeps making the live action movies, this video makes it sound like they were all flops but they actually brought in so much money at the box office.
      What confuses me the most is this absolute abnormal behaviour of greenlighting something great every few years, seeing that the fans love it but then still canceling it. Like why? Maybe it's bc fan favourites often don't make the money that the loyal fans think they do, but the platforms need these shows to keep costumers. I mean it's the same with Netflix, they make a fantastic show every few years and then suddenly cancel it after 2 seasons. But they don't get that in that case, money probably isn't everything. Or they don't care bc their trash stuff always goes viral and keeps them afloat regardless. No artistic integrity in any case.
      In conclusion: it's always about the money. And if something actually great happens, that's just the magic of Hollywood, right😂

A film that both respected the original, actually expanded upon the prince's character, naturally redeemed (as opposed to the forced nonsense the modern age always has) and in the end there's a call-back to the only good thing to come out of 2, the story with her and the baker. Lion King 2 is actually my favorite by far but I also really enjoyed Aladdin and the King Of Thieves.
      Others that people either say they hate but don't, guilty pleasure, etc, well I'd say a good deal of them still had heart and soul in them.

    In the stage version of The Little Mermaid, the entire second half is completely different from the movie, as Ursula doesn’t create a fake human to hypnotize Eric.
    But the remake movie leaves it in.
