At this point the live action remakes are becoming just as common as the direct to video sequels from 1994 to 2008
Let’s hope a competent CEO will come in to stop the live action remakes.
Oh my god, you’re right.
When do the good ones start coming in?
No argument there
Basically sums most of them up there. Jungle book aleast tried to be something new while almost everything else is lacking what made the originals what made them classics to begin with.
Now it all makes sense...
Actually if you pay real close attention to the end, where Geppetto and Pinocchio are walking away, you can see Pinocchio become real. I’d argue though this is even worse than not showing it at all, because it meant they thought it was important enough to include, but not important enough to dedicate a scene to.
You know, despite my dislike for the live action remake of Dumbo, at least I’ll give that film credit for actually showing Dumbo and his mother reuniting and going to live off in India with all the other elephants. At least that film cared to show the resolution for both Dumbo and his mother.
@@hunterolaughlin it seems like they keep taking more and more away from the Disney live action remakes, and replacing it with shit.
What?? How is showing Pinocchio becoming a real boy worse than not showing it at all???
People who didn’t notice this got quite mad that they didn’t show Pinocchio become a real boy, but now you’re declaring that showing him become a real boy is worse?
😮😮😮
@@EpicJoshua314 because it means they knew it was important, important enough to include even though they completely changed the finale, but made it such a blink and you’ll miss it moment, the entire fucking internet didn’t see it.
@@InsanityContainmentz You need to look more carefully when watching movies 😉
Also the Italian dub didn’t only give Sabina and Fabiana the same voice-actress, which erases a stupid plot hole the movie didn’t need to create, but it also replaced the Chris Pine reference with a standard pun about wood and erased the influencer line.
Also, no “root beer” ~ just plain ol’ beer.
We tried folks.
We appreciate the effort
You guys are being sarcastic aren’t you? 😏
Thank you. You guys made the movie 2% less bad.
@@matthewreynoso6904 and that’s not all.
Since root beer isn’t a thing in Italy, someone decided “screw it” and just called it “beer” in its stead.
@@miticaBEP07 so that's why i was so impressed they showed beer in a Disney movie.
When you wish upon a star, you get too many bad Pinocchio movies in the same year. Let’s just wish that Guillermo Del Toro‘s Pinocchio turns out amazing, and hope our wish comes true.
Please for the love of Arceus, don't let Del Toro's Pinocchio become a schlockfest..
Pinocchio unfortunately has a similar problem to the Superman movies I. That the first one was such a good first attempt none of the others have come close
Telling by the trailer and images seen, it's going to be the best one this year by a long shot and maybe get nominated for best animated feature. I did say maybe as there's also W&W by Henry sleick coming out this October.
Obi Wan Kenobi/Rodney Copperbottem/Christopher Robin is going to be in that version of Pinocchio.
Your wish wont comeeeeeee truueeeeeee 🎶🎶
The main problem with this, as with other live action remakes, is Pinocchio is perfect.
It’s frustrating here because in the original film, Pinocchio was flawed. He didn’t always listen to Jiminy Cricket, he joined the puppet show at his own accord, he did misbehave at Pleasure Island and drank alcohol. But he eventually learns from the experience and is still rewarded by turning into a real boy.
Here, Pinocchio is blameless for every situation. He legitimately wanted to go to school but he got kicked out. So he might as well join Stromboli’s show.
Pinocchio‘s nose grow when he said he wanted to go to school. He actually did want to go so I don’t get how that’s a lie. Pinocchio gets kidnapped to go to Pleasure Island and he had no way of turning back. And while there, he doesn’t misbehave, or be a “jackass”. He didn’t even drink the root beer, which isn’t alcoholic. So why does he fall under the curse and turn into a donkey?
Stuff like this annoys me cause it promotes misleading morals to its intended audience, and I’m still soft on this remake cause it’s straight to streaming
But if we don't make the protagonist a perfect paragon of virtue, how will the audience know they're the good guy? Really, though, I *hate* it when movies do this. It's like the screenwriters are afraid that flaws will make their characters look bad when in reality it's part of what makes them relatable
Well, while Pinocchio misbehaved at Pleasure Island, I don’t think it was out of malicious, but more like fitting in with the other boys because that’s what they were doing. He was still naive and innocent throughout his experience on Pleasure Island. Here’s an example from the film I can give.
(Lampwick and Pinocchio approach the Rough House.)
Lampwick: “Oh boy! A scrap! Come on, Pinoc! Let’s go punch someone in the nose!”
Pinocchio: “Why?”
Lampwick: “Just for the fun of it.”
Pinocchio: (Excitedly) “Ok, Lampy!”
See, Pinocchio was merely going along with what the boys were doing, mostly because it looked like fun and Lampwick encouraging him. I think it’s the reason why he didn’t completely transform into a donkey like the other boys and Lampwick and only grew ears and a tail and brayed. My theory is that a boy turns into a donkey or “jacka**” completely if they reach a higher level of badness and only reaching a mild level of badness will cause a boy to slowly transform like only grow ears, a tail and bray or even have a donkey head.
*Pinocchio goes to sulk at a bar and meets Mulan there*
Mulan: "You too, huh?"
Pinocchio: "Yup."
Mulan: "They made you perfect and flawless in your remake?"
Pinocchio: "Yup."
Mulan: "Same. I mean, in the original I wasn't perfect, I had to work SO hard to accomplish everything I did, but in the remake they turned me into a perfect Mary Sue with magical chi or something."
Pinocchio: "IKR? And in my original I was a flawed yet realistic child and I had to learn to be better the hard way and I went through so much character development and I even sacrificed myself, but in the remake they also made me a perfect and flawless Mary Sue!"
Mulan: "The male term is Gary Stu."
Pinocchio: "Oh ok, thanks, but my point still stands, they made me flawless and I basically learn nothing, no development, no sacrifices, nope!"
Mulan: "Why is Disney doing this?"
Pinocchio: "Disney must be run by braindead chimpanzees."
Well “perfect” isn’t exactly a good descriptor. It was perfect back in the day, it is NEARLY perfect now, just we have to keep into account it’s a product of its time and some things… might not of held up.
@@cintronproductions9430 She Hulk: “Room for one more?” **joins them at the bar**
I love how you used the Soul variant of the Disney opening theme to describe the remake. And yeah, I did not have a good time with this one either. I just wish these “live-action” remakes would end.
Same here.
Ditto.
Not until they go though every Disney classic.
@Fuzzyco #NewDeal4Animation I know people are getting "Marvel fatigue" due to all the MCU content (not me, since I was feeling it after Endgame and Far From Home, but am glad there wasn't an MCU film or show in 2020), but I think I'm getting Disney live-action remake fatigue
I wish they wouldn’t because they’re amazing
So Pinnochio not only has Dash's abilities to kick really fast, but he has Rapunzel's magic healing/life saving tearsdrops...
When you steal, steal from the best. LOL.
It says a lot about a movie when Disney has to pull the "Let's see how many IPs we can fit in one scene so we grab their attention!" card like they did with Ralph Breaks the Internet...send this movie to the shadow realm, and nothing of value would be lost
That's why I hate those movies and why I am fed up with Disney. It's just "Come buy our shit and you'll be happy and so would our wallets."
Disney ip showboating peaked with their DVD intros
@@josephrowe849 The problem is that because Princess and the Frog didn't do well compared to Avatar, Disney believes that the only thing modern audiences want is CG or realism . Unfortunately most audiences don't realize that CG is very easy to be dated or not very charming when not done right.
@@orangeslash1667 The good news is that they are slowly but surely returning into making traditionally animated movies.
@@detectivewobbuffet2778 Really they are?
My husband said the exact same thing about Jiminy's voice sounding like an imitation of an imitation. It got grating really quick. In fact, Jiminy as a whole was an annoying character to me, especially his whole "temporary conscience" shtick. While Jiminy got irritated with Pinocchio in the original, it was only because he felt ignored and just wanted to help him. He was like a father figure to him. In the remake, it just seems like Jiminy was forced into being his conscience and just tolerated being around Pinocchio. They didn't have any kind of bond, and it was hard for me to get behind them being friends. I rewatched the original after the remake, and I was reminded of just how charming and wholesome the animated version is. It's never been one of my favorites, but I have so much respect for it.
When Jiminy raises his voice here, he sounds like Pinocchio from Shrek
They should have just gotten the guy Disney already has on their goddamn payroll to voice him
@@mediakira6621
There would be better voice acting for sure, but none of the publicity for the movie that comes with casting a well known live actor for the voice. (that's why they do it, BTW).
@@charlie-obrien I hate that fact. I’ll give Christopher Robin this, it kept Jim Cummings
It's bad. It's all so bad.
Sad coming from Zemeckis
too safe, too bland, using his nose to get the key to the cage gives "lying your way out" a whole new meaning.
I'm pretty sure they stole that from Shrek 2 cuz there Pinocchio also lies so Gingy can free Shrek and the others.
@@cintronproductions9430 Probably a very weird coincidence
"Turning a disney classic into a disaster" literally almost ever single disney live action remake ever
Ariel is next.
@@quickman2663 and so is snow white
I think Jungle Book (2016), Pete’s Dragon (2016), Cinderella (2015), Alice in Wonderland (2010), and Christopher Robin (2018) are the only ones that I find decent because they at least try to be different from the original materials and expanding the world without being out of place.
@@blackraptorex2469 I would also throw in the Aladdin Remake
I like all of them. If you're just going to feel turned out on by it in general espicially to the point were you can't take to hearing another one then sure. Literally this disney live action trashing in general thing, or however you would call it was something that only recently surprised me. I'm used to just going along with every single one and that makes it easier to enjoy, but I can actually tell with others if some have good aspects in general
The fact you included the Disney theme from Soul in it was a nice touch.
Although “You did that all in one day?” And “Haven’t done a fraction of that in my whole life” were pretty good lines.
Agree with that!
It was obviously more than one day for Pinocchio's adventures, so the line is nonsensical, but then so is the whole movie and that's the real problem here.
The story of Pinocchio, whether in book form or the original Disney, made sense and stayed true to it's theme of goodness overcoming selfishness in order for growth to occur.
@@charlie-obrien
That’s a good point.
I thought he did it in three or four days?
*If I had a nickel, for every time a Zemeckis Disney movie was a failure, I'd have two nickels! Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice*
"Father, when can I leave to be on my OWN? I've got the whole world to see! 💅"....I'd take that over Disney's remake any day. That line alone makes the rest of that cursed movie a masterpiece.
And I'll take the upcoming stop motion adaptation over either of those two any day
lol
His Christmas Carol adaptation was good in my opinion.
You made a phineas and ferb reference. Dr Doofensmirtz said the “if I had a nickel” line in the first Phineas and Ferb movie
@@jamesgeorgi6627 yeah
I’ll honor the old Disney that it was once before, making really good 2D and 3D animated feature films with amazing animation, great stories, likable characters, beautiful soundtracks and interesting themes.
Not this monster that Disney has become now, hungry for more money and power, making horrible live-action remakes and ruining IPs like Star Wars and Marvel (Post-Endgame).
Endgame is terrible man lol
I’m pretty sure aside from the Disney+ original series’ that are connected to it, Disney has zero control over the MCU.
@@vanderquakSP Nah they control the MCU, just look at What If and other MCU films post Phase 1 excluding the Guardians of the Galaxy films and Thor Ragnarok. WandaVision and I heard Hawkeye were fine though.
@@anthonygarcia8749 I loved Endgame myself, but i respect your opinion :)
I hope that the Guillermo Del Toro version is a big award winner and gets a lot of positive reviews. It would be the best middle finger to this remake!
Let's pray for it
Del Toro can't help but make a better Pinocchio than this.
Number one, he is hands down a better overall director than Zemeckis and number two he tells his stories from the heart and his version will be his labor of love to honor the creator of Pinocchio, Carlo Collodi.
@@charlie-obrien and thanks to the movie being released on Netflix, he didn’t have to worry about the studio butting in and ruining anything. That is one of the advantages of streaming services, they are more open to original stories and experimentation, and there is less interference.
Well, You got your wish for the reviews!
Saw it recently. Del Toro’s version was fantastic imo, and my favorite version of Pinocchio
Is it kinda weird how Animat and Schaffrillas made their remake Pinocchio movie reviews nearly the exact same time?
Fr
I was surprised but also glad to see both pop up
and RaisorBlade too
Probably because the videos take about the same time to make
The s**t that Pinnochio sniffs on the ground perfectly sums up this remake!
It always amazes me how many chances directors get, after so many swings and a miss.
"Hmm, well you're last ten movies weren't very good, and we mocked you directly in our last movie, so here's one of our most beloved classics and 100million dollars. Good luck!"
It’s the only industry where you fail/fall up
i don't think most of this is Zemeckis's fault, seems like he had to give in to studio demands
You’d think he’d have enough clout by now not to have to do that.
Pinocchio being an Italian story, here in Italy we make one of these pretty much every three years.
I recommend Luigi Comencini’s mini-series with Gina Lollobrigida as the Blue Fairy, the animated adaptations by Giuliano Cenci and Enzo d’Alò, and of course Matteo Garrone’s 2019 re-imagining with Roberto Benigni as Geppetto and the late Gigi Proietti as Mangiafuoco.
You may even try to find a recording of the musical - which btw also has an extra female character, a woman named Angela who’s part of Geppetto’s entourage of woodcarvers and acts as a love interest and confidante to him.
disney cartoon is better the author hated kids just look at his original ending for all we know Pinocchio could have stayed hanged in that tree. Finn wolf hard version is too dark all ready. My parents says to a disabled child look a fish human that talks sign language think of reincarnation. Guillermo Del Torro's movie next movie unrelated to pinocchio is satanic. A story of a pan fawn more like the devil and princess of the under world more like princess of hell. I prefer the pan fawns or like philiotes or half goat half human like the goat half human that was turned in to stone by the gorgon medusa greek mythology that can play lute and lyre. Like mister tummnus camp fire pit with narnia lullabies moving pictures aslan roaring out of the fire place the lion do not make reference to jesus. At least the queen in prince caspian has a point of the tree gate leading to death. Like richie rat surfs on a flying saucer to the gate way where he be just a plain savage mouse. Richie mom was talking about death. I bet adult Susan would poison or mouse trap him. Do you think death and poop💩in children's movie is okay. Well let the adults have their movie but keep dark movies or stories out of the hands of innocent children or smart children. Brer Rabbit ride splash mountain give tiana her own place. Brer Rabbit has moral stories not racism. Adult mind is pedos to children's mind and imagination no more roger bunny ride or toon town. I was planning to get minnie mouse cookie recipe from her fridge. To bake cookies with my dad at home. Use halloween cookie cutters and pegora the witch spatula. I never liked rafkies tree as a child who wants to see animals in a tree let's see simba's drawing or kirara's drawing and Rafkies there as a meet and greet character. Rapids I want to ride. I also do not like exotic epocot only the food and rides. I dislike the chinese parades want to see mulan and mushu in stead no phoenix. I can only think when there we are siamese if you please we are former residents of siam. Let's eat cleo the gold fish, grab the bird and drink milk from a baby bottle. Since aunt sarah for got to feed us. Survival of the fittest we are nice twin kittens meow. Survival of the fittest boton finish the race slow and steady. Nap like the car than take the short cut and win the race. Who in the world wants to see a pinocchio how silly I was when I was a puppet sounds like pinocchio grew up during the course of couple of days. Give us a toddler terrible two's pinocchio nursery rhyme school pre kindergartener early child hood child my little wooden head real boy who loves his own father.
@@elcucy The author did continue the story BECAUSE the kids requested it...
No one ever mentions that the female puppet has ability to change her facial expressions ,eyebrows , blink and move that no way a puppeteer could do in real life
I thought that she was meant to be in a similar situation to Pinocchio where she was half alive and half puppet
@@pinkdiamond1847 no... that would ruin the point of Pinocchio being one of a kind in the duration of the movie, besides the puppeteer girl is moving that puppet so...
@@dayandere2669 30 shillings to the possessed story (Shrek)
@@dayandere2669 Well the whole point of the movie was ruined anyway
@@pinkdiamond1847 Fair enough
Probably Robert Zemeckis' worst things to produce under the Disney brand since "Mars Needs Moms"?
It makes the creepy CGI kids from his take on Polar Express look more endearing.
@@shenloken2 Talking of which, did it cross your mind that "Mars Needs Moms" is a worst version of "The Polar Express"?
It did not but now that you mention it…🤔
Ya know what's funny, he made two remakes for Disney now and WB under HBOMax with The Witches and they both sucked. Shame.
When you wish upon a star....Don't wish for another remake -_-
Don't tell Disney that, it's all they want these days. Remake after remake after remake. They might as well remake every film they ever did and then start from scratch.
And then remake the latest movies in about several decades.
My wish at this point is for The Little Mermaid to finally be inducted into the National Film Registry. That film is LONG overdue for preservation. And I also wish for The Secret of NIMH to be inducted too. I know it's not Disney, but I'd like for at least ONE of Don Bluth's films to be preserved before Don passes on.
Update: Well, whaddya know! My wish came true! The Little Mermaid is finally in the National Film Registry!
That out of tune jazz opening is hilarious and perfectly describes my thoughts on the live action remakes these days.
The jazz opening is used for the opening logos in Pixar’s Soul
I knew this was gonna suck after seeing Mulan. I won't be surprised if Little Mermaid sucks too. It's like Disney wants to die!
Or lose audiences!
@Fuzzyco #NewDeal4Animation it’s not even live action besides it’s not even Disney It’s made by Illumination even though the actual live action one from the 90’s was made by Hollywood Pictures which was owned by Disney.
Exactly and MCU isn't doing any better
@@rommix0 you beat me to it
That would be hilarious if they fucked up Mario again, but hilarious for all the wrong reasons.
You know, I remember having a dream where you gave the Pinocchio remake a positive review and called it "the best Disney live-action remake since The Jungle Book". Such a pity it didn't come true after all, because it gave me hope for the remake. Maybe it was for the original version that was going to be directed by the director of the Paddington films before he left and Robert Zemeckis took over.
Believe it or not, my twin brother is a huge die hard fan of Robert Zemeckis. Like you said it didn't became a wish come true but the film did okay than The Witches 2020.
Yeah I want to make my own books and stories someday but I don’t know what it takes to make a good story people say different things like it has to make sense, it has to be cool, it has to be meaningful but I still think there’s more to it that. I just don’t know when I see a story I love I feel a warm exciting light in my heart and I can’t help but smile
Though I will say Figaro looks as adorable here as he does in the original!
I agree my irl cat looks exactly like him. :)
I agree! Too precious!
When I was a kid, Jimminy Cricket used to scare me. It wasn't really anything against him, I just had a bad experience with my exposure to the character. I had grown to appreciate his animated appearance over time. But now seeing his CGI self, it's bringing back those fearful feelings
There’s always Jimminy Lummox! **strums ukulele** “When you wish, upon a side of of beef! Soon will come, an end to all your grief! But if you’ve been, mean or kind of baaaad, I will knock out all your teef!” 😉
Jiminy was much better in "Fun and Fancy Free"
Here’s the rotten tomatoes score
Pinocchio 1940: 100%
Pinocchio 2022: 27%
Disney didnt make a movie, they made a product. Del Toro didnt make a movie, he made Art.
Disney: This remake of Pinocchio will be good! (Nose grows)
At least Netflix and Guillermo Del Toro are coming to our rescue with the Pinocchio movie everyone’s truly waiting for.
Del Toro, my lord and savior, please make a better Pinocchio than this waste of cinema.
6:47 Actually this cliche is from the original book: In the story Gepetto faints when he and Pinocchio escape from the Terrible Dogfish (the whale), causing Pinocchio to spend a long time taking care of his father. It's this action that causes him to become real boy in the end. If the movie had gone through this direction it could had been better adaptation (it wouldn't fix all the problem, but some).
Unpopular opinion, but I prefer the Direct to Video Disney sequels from the early 2000's over those remakes. Love them or hate them, at least they offered something more or less new.
Some of them do, but others like The Little Mermaid 2 just rehash the original.
@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 Even then, they at least pretend to do something different.
Two of my favorites were Lion King 1 1/2 and Bambi 2. Mainly because, as Pumba said, they were in-between-quels that added more or different interpretations to the original stories
Thank you for acknowledging the work of Ward Kimball. He was the soul of so many great animated characters. And yes, Zemeckis has been in the uncanny Valley too long but like Polar Express this film really doesn't want to take its source material seriously. It's as if it has to be a roller coaster ride in order to keep kids attention. I know Polar Exp wasn't a lengthy story but it's a serious tale about kid trying not to lose faith and it instead dabbles in silly songs, and borderline horror film scenes and I get that vibe here with Monstro-Cthulhu as if he's some final boss. Regardless, great review
Don't forget his adaptation of A Christmas Carol with slapstick scenes mixed in with a horror movie. I know the book was a ghost story but it mixed the spooky elements with moments of genuine Christmas cheer. I don't feel that with Zemeckis' A Christmas Carol. That film is just horrifying,
@@joelmole3157 I forgot all about that one. I know Jim could be a versatile actor but they did try to accommodate his zany personna for a character we don't associate with being animated in his movement. No matter it's the fact he animates stuff with natural lighting that gives it that uncanny valley feeling. At least it almost worked for Beowulf
@@joelmole3157 I absolutely refused to add the Zemeckis Christmas Carol to my Christmas movie collection as I thought it was ghastly and too over the top. Roller-Coaster you say? It was true for this as well.
That Chris Pine joke is one of the worst jokes I've ever heard. Like, you can hear Keegan Michael Key's soul leave his body as he's saying that line.
That’s the same shit that made the late Eisner era such a comedown compared to the 10 years before it.
I like that you included the theatrical trailer of the summer 1992 re-release of Pinocchio at the beginning of this review.
I saw it twice in theaters even though I already owned the existing VHS tape release. There’s something about seeing the Disney classics in a theater on film that you just can’t replicate at home or even with the best digital projection.
@@Attmay That’s true.
Monstro in the original: Whale
Monstro in this remake: “We’ve got a freaking Kaiju up in this shit!”
Monstro in the original Carlo Collodi novel: A giant dogfish.
You know, if they went with the giant dogfish in the remake, it would have been fine as a reference to the original Collodi novel.
I understood the quote from Monstro in the remake!
@@avatarenthusiast2289 I used that reference to cope with the fact that this remake exists.
You make many valid points about how Zemeckis has changed since his heyday of filmmaking. not only do I agree with every point you’ve said about it, but it’s quite clear that ever since he got his hands on motion capture and photorealistic CGI technology, he changed to having a spectacle-over-story mentality when it comes to his filmmaking style. Not only am I going to add onto what you just said here, but I’m also going to add a little bit of my own piece to it on how Zemeckis went from legendary Director to another victim of the Cameron effect. So prepare yourselves, because I have a lot to get off my chest that I’ve been meaning to get off for a while.
First, before anyone asks, The Cameron effect is a de evolution in a filmmaker‘s style when they begin to develop a spectacle-over-story mentality, putting too much faith in CGI technology to be the sole bearer of the film, with many of their current films reflecting that. The term originates from James Cameron, another big filmmaker who is well known for making movies that have a strong spectacle-over-story priority to them. The most prominent example being “Avatar“, A film that has revolutionary 3D visuals and an immersive world, but little to no originality crafted into the story. As far as I’m concerned, this term does not exist, I just coined it for the sake of this discussion.
To demonstrate how the Cameron effect has taken its toll on Zemeckis, we must first discuss a bit of compare and contrast between two films of his. First contender, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”. Although the film’s story and visual spectacle are equally just as amazing, there was almost an instance that could’ve ruined the story, and that is the deleted pig head scene. As someone who has watched the scene for myself, I fully understand and agree with Zemeckis’ choice to cut the scene from the movie. Although the visuals of the scene were amazing with what they managed to do with the effects and animation, there are three reasons as to why cutting it was for the best.
1. It feels completely out of place and it doesn’t move the story forward. As a matter of fact, it stops the story dead in its tracks, and is never even brought up again.
2. Throughout the film, there’s always buildup to Toontown, this scene would’ve given away how you get to Toontown too early.
3. Another recurring aspect during the movie is Jessica Rabbit and who her allegiance lies with. This scene would’ve opened a plot hole in terms of her characterization. To explain, all throughout the movie, Jessica, as well as her motives, actions, and loyalty are mysterious and questionable, but her outcomes turn out to be unexpected and surprising to both the audience and the characters. True, it’s eventually revealed that she is on Roger and Eddie’s side and the film does want to keep building up her mysterious background until that point, but in this scene, she doesn’t do anything to defend Eddie’s actions from Judge Doom or the weasels and just watches as the weasels prepare to take poor Eddie to Toontown against his will. Although this could be taken as the film continuing to keep her uncertain allegiance vibe going, the plot hole begins when it’s later revealed she is on our heroes’ side. Think about it, had they kept the scene in, and once Jessica reveals her true colors and that she really is one of the good guys, it brings this scene into question and makes the audience wonder, “if that’s the case, why didn’t Jessica defend Eddie from Judge Doom and his weasels?” Which is where the plot hole comes in.
This is a perfect example of how Zemeckis was thinking of what was right for the story and not for the spectacle. This brings us to our second contender, “The Polar Express”. This is around the time that the Cameron effect had begun to change Zemeckis. Due to CGI and motion capture being the latest technological innovation in the entertainment industry, Zemeckis had begun to prioritize The visual spectacle of the film rather than the story itself. Examples of this include padding out the story by using scenes that are stunningly visual spectacles, but are overall unnecessary; including, the ticket journey scene, the ice lake, The musical numbers, The “roller coaster” scenes, just to name a few. it is also possible that this is due to not being able to stretch out a children’s book into a full length feature film, but after thinking about what I just mentioned, it’s hard to ignore that as another possibility.
To be fair though, “The Polar Express“ was made during the beginning of Zemeckis’ Cameron effect, and there is one sign that his sense of storytelling wasn’t completely killed, (at least in the case of this film). Despite all the unnecessary padding scenes, one addition to the film that I believe moves the story forward is the character of the Hobo. During the film, hero boy wants to still believe in Christmas magic and Santa Claus, but does have a seed of uncertainty toward these beliefs. The conductor and the hobo both act as guides to the boy who nurture both respective sides. While the conductor nurtures the boy’s belief in the spirit of Christmas, The hobo, in contrast, nurtures the boy’s doubts toward it. Admittedly this aspect Would’ve had more of an effect if The film had more scenes with the boy interacting with either the conductor or the hobo, and a lot less padding scenes that prioritize spectacle.
Unfortunately, after “The Polar Express”, The Cameron effect would only get worse for Zemeckis, which was further proven with “Beowulf”, The 2009 “A Christmas Carol“, and especially “Mars Needs Moms”, since the latter became one of the biggest box office bombs in animation history; to the point that Zemeckis’ entire studio that made these films, ImageMovers Digital, was closed down for good and all their future projects canceled. Sadly, despite the studio’s closure, Zemeckis still didn’t get the message, and by this point he had become practically incurable of the Cameron affect, proven by the films he just mentioned like “Welcome to Marwen”, “ The Witches” and the 2022 Live-action remake of Disney’s “Pinocchio“.
One other thing that Zemeckis seems to be blind to in terms of his CGI visuals is how it always falls into the uncanny valley, and yet, he never listens to nor acknowledges the criticisms as to how creepy and unsettling it can look. He doesn’t understand that, in terms of visuals, realism and detail is not the same as believability and artistry. After “The Polar Express” received criticisms for how unsettling and creepy the characters looked, this style wasn’t changed in Zemeckis‘s following films like “A Christmas Carol” and “Mars Needs Moms”, and it continues with this film as well. As he mentioned, it’s already creepy enough that characters like Honest John, Gideon, and Jiminy Cricket, fall into uncanny valley territory, but to see these characters move in an exaggerated and cartoonish fashion makes it all the more unsettling and disturbing.
Another criticism on the visuals of this movie that I agree with is the interaction with the CGI characters. because Tom Hanks didn’t really have anyone to interact with, The physical interaction feels a bit off, especially when seeing how bad the tracking on the CGI characters in post production looks. Seriously, as a college student who is learning to use those same visual effects tools myself, it makes me question how the interaction can be so off like that. Another thing that shocks me is that “Who Framed Roger Rabbit“ did not have the luxury of using the technological tools that most filmmakers take for granted today, like what was mentioned for this film, And yet, the interaction with the animated characters in that film feels 100% spot on! They successfully managed to sell you The believability of the toons’ existence through The interaction with the live actors (both physical and mental), Lighting and shading, interaction with real physical objects, and believable weight and space that they occupy. Here though, despite having all the technological tools and special effects at their disposal, they weren’t able to make the interaction feel quite right. That, in addition to the fact that both films share the same Director boggles my mind.
In conclusion, I think we can agree that despite being the legendary Director behind “Forrest Gump“, the “Back to the Future“ trilogy, and “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”, Zemeckis had fallen victim to the Cameron effect ever since he started delving into CGI and motion capture, And it would continually get worse with no signs of stopping, with this film being another example to prove that statement correct. if Zemeckis ever wants to save himself from the Cameron effect and reclaim his greatness, he should seriously rethink his outlook towards CGI and motion capture, then take Elsa’s advice, and let it go.
If anything, this movie shows that both he and Tom Hanks learned the wrong lessons from winning Oscars for *Forrest Gump.* they can and have done better which makes it even more disappointing.
I’d honestly rather have seen a Muppet version of Pinocchio. That could have been enchanting and funny in all the right places. Even that Drew Carey thing looked like less of an abomination.
Ironically, I think the best of the mocap films are the ones that give a more cartoonish style, with my shining example being Monster House, where the characters look toony, yet still uncanny, which is what you want for a film inspired by 1980s B Movies. A similar style is from a game with a similar genre, Monster Madness: Battle For Suburbia. It is a shooting game with odd controls, but fun visuals, characters, and a lot of great enemies to fight.
At least one good thing about this film is that Geppetto‘s clocks remind you of some much better options on Disney+. That way you can turn this trash off and go watch those better movies, including Zemeckis’ own “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”.
I guess that’s true. But it doesn’t make any sense why Gepetto would make coo coo clock versions of other Disney films. Dumbo might be an exception. But the others I do not get.
@@Starwarsfanboy0928 I'd also include the other Disney fairy tales like Snow White and Sleeping Beauty
It’s advertising.
I feel like Disney won't be satisfied until they warp, twist and squeeze EVERY nostalgic dollar out of their animated film classics. .🤑💰
And then they will have another lost generation on their hands.
LOL, using the Soul version of When You Wish Upon a Star for the montage🤣🤣
I think the worst thing about the Pinocchio remake is that it's so clearly, nakedly something they made in case the copyright expired. That's it. Other than Pleasure Island making my eyes hurt with the bright yellows.
No, wait: this was a joke I made back when Dumbo came out! "They're remaking Dumbo? What's next, Pinocchio?"
This movie only makes me even more excited for Del Toro's movie
Bad enough that the director of one of the greatest trilogies ever has been reduced to this, but it’s even worse knowing this is from the same company who’s biggest film went out of its way to needlessly trash said trilogy😒
The only good Pinocchio movie to look out for is the Netflix version
I feel the only benefit this movie gave to anyone watching is specifically the scene where Pinocchio sniffs the horse crap. It sums up not just this movie, but almost the ENTIRETY of modern Disney as well.
There's some good stuff in modern Disney as well.
@@detectivewobbuffet2778 True. They've made some great stuff, but I guess what I meant was mostly the state of them as a company. You know, with all the controversies, poor management, these remakes, and bad business decisions.
I spit out my water reading this comment, he smells horse shit? Wtf?
I don't even know why they included that scene, but I have noticed a lot of children's media focusing on scat over the past few years, maybe it's always been a thing and I didn't notice when I was little but I've noticed a lot of toys themed around poop A lot of videos on UA-cam aimed at children focused around poop and now movies on Disney plus with major scenes featuring poop. I can't help but wonder if this is something that's being pushed on children for devious reasons.
I really hope this doesn’t foreshadow the possible doom of the 2024 remake of Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, even if you DO look past it’s controversial choices.
there are no dwarves in that remake. Its already ruined
@@baylordiamond8819 for now, nothing’s been said about if they’ll keep the dwarfs or not even though they had a vague statement by saying they’ll do a different approach to them. I feel like the fact it’s based on an old property and the original doesn’t have nostalgia as the 1990s Disney animated films would be a leading factor on its performance regardless if the remake had the dwarfs or not. Now that the Pinocchio remake’s reception is bad, it’s now extremely hard for me to see Snow White (2024) be big with people compared to The Little Mermaid remake
And Snow White will leave the prince and will start making out with the evil queen in front of everyone ...lol I wouldn't be surprised If they actually did this ... Both actresses have stated that in their remakes Snow White and Ariel won't need no MAAAAAN .... I guarantee you ,both of them are gonna suck hard ... The only reason as to why I can't wait for them to be released is so that I can laugh my ass of watching the reviews ... It's gonna be EPIC LFMAO ...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥
@@alexp.d3689 after everyone complained that the remakes are the same they make the remakes unrecognizable
I declared this even before the Pinocchio 2022 teaser was released, Snow White is an absolute classic and shouldn't be remade. Also, unlike in this remake, where could they go deeper into it that would warrant a remake? Maybe a backstory on the 7 dwarfs and Snow White's father but that could be done in a prequel film.
At 7:02 we see pinocchio starting to transform into an a real boy with cgi but still doesn't have the same strength as the original ending. And , I can't believe that I am saying this but mostro's design looks ok for me. I saw pictures of how a dogfish looks like and I get the idea of combining a whale and a dogfish which it could work if only they didn't add the tentacles
Dogfish wouldn’t be a bad idea considering it’s a reference to how Monstro was depicted in the original Colllodi novel and a nice way of bringing in another element from the original novel. The tentacles feel like they belong in the climax of the live action Little Mermaid remake when Ursula transforms.
@@hunterolaughlin Or a Roger Corman cheapy like Sharktopus.
Me: “why is pinnocios face creeping the shit out of me”.
Find out the cgi was done by the same guy who did polar express.
“Ahhh that checks out”
Honest John was really the best part of the movie, and it sucks that he isn't in more of it
I'm a fan of Key and he ruled.
Same goes to the Blue Fairy. She wasn’t seen much too
That's not saying much as the cgi on Honest John looks terrible. Like the lion king 2019 of foxes.
17:30 That ain't Monstro! That's Leviathan! Disney, why would you do this?!
Disney seems to have that special talent to make any respectable director look bad with their remakes.
They did it to Tim Burton, they did it to Jon Favreau and now they seemed to have done it to Robert Zemeckis (then again, like Mat said, Robert already lost his touch decades ago).
Also, at 6:37-7:13, 16:14-16:25 and 17:19-17:33... WTF?!...
Gus Van Sant with Psycho. I know that's not a Disney film, but still it was so pointless.
They did that with Guy Ritchie and Bill Condon
This is why Disney needs to stop remaking films that don't need a remake. Look what they did with Lion King and Beauty And The Beast. Remake a film that does need a remake like Black Cauldron and Sword in The Stone.
I wouldn't exactly say no to an Atlantis remake.
Pinocchio finding a pile of sh*t is a perfect symbolism of what this trainwreck of a movie is: a pile of sh*t. Also what have they done to my boi Monstro? XD
I’ve gotta admit, I actually like the way John looks. Yeah, he looks uncanny and creepy and like he doesn’t belong in his surroundings, but he’s a trickster and corrupting influence; looking creepy makes sense for him. The CG characters, though… yeah. A cartoon cricket that actually looks like a cricket *can* work - my first thought is of Mr. Grasshopper from the James and the Giant Peach movie - but you’ve got to have a clear aesthetic vision there, and I’m okay with Monstro turning out to be an actual sea monster and not a whale, but the tentacles leave him so overdesigned. And the less said about Cleo, the better.
The Netflix stop-motion reinterpretation of Pinocchio featuring a WW2 setting is better than the Disney live-action remake of Pinocchio.
Pinocchio 2022 just makes us want to watch GDT Pinocchio and the 40's original. I watch the film a lot as a child and this hurts.
0:31 The instruments sound like they're slowly dying XD
I'm just imagining what it would be like if Disney actually gave Gideon a voice and had him be voiced by Mark Hamill in his Joker voice. It just makes me smile thinking that the dopey cat would act and talk like the infamous Clown Prince of Crime! 😸
🦊🎵🎶”Hi-diddle-dee-dee! This remake sucks, to me! A plethora of C-G-I! A woke agenda, that just won’t die! Hi-diddle-dee-dum! The writing is humdrum! They can’t stay true to morals goal! The mediocrity takes its toll!”
🤣🤣🤣brilliant!
The original Pinocchio: "When you wish upon a star"
The 2022 remake: "When you wish upon a steaming piece of shit"
I wish this could have been a 1/10 review
I had a feeling this wasn’t going to be good, even though I really like several of Robert Zemeckis’ movies from Romancing The Stone, Back To The Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Forrest Gump, and Cast Away. I also always really liked Polar Express, even though it’s divisive with people
Yeah, the animation is a touch uncanny in spots, but I consider it a Christmas classic and we watch it every year at my house
@@mikethegrunty5968
The animation of The Polar Express doesn't bother me as it does with most people. Although, it certainty didn't aged well.
@@alienboy1322 Well for the humans eyes it didn’t, but everything else like the backgrounds did. Or at least for me
@@maddalonefarms In the case of the eyes, I never minded them. The movie already has a kind of magical otherworldly storybook feeling to it, which made me overlook the eyes.
Rafiki:-"it is time". Tron:-"the uprising has begun"!
6:38 did anyone notice how unfinished Pinocchio looked as he got closer to the camera?
After watching three negative reviews on this movie, which are Raisor blade, Schaffrillas, and this one, I decided to not watch this remake.
There's a saying: "Don't try to fix what's already perfect!" Why are they keep making these remakes if almost 80% of them are complete failures?
Why aren't they using some good actors that already voiced those characters? Look at the Kingdom Hearts franchise - they had the heart to bring the original voice actors to play these characters again and they do a perfect job, unlike here. I felt a rushed story with so much to show and so little time in these environments.
Also, WHY MONSTRO NEEDS TO BE A SEA MONSTER WITH TENTACLES (making it look like the dumb cousin of Final Fantasy's Eidolon Leviathan), WHEN IN THE ORIGINAL IT WAS A GIANT WHALE, A WHALE OF A WHALE? The ending felt super rushed when in the original we had a heartbreaker moment, after a scary chase against a giant and angry whale?
When I watched the original movie for the first time, I was 5-6 years old, and that finale made me felt a lot of emotions from hope to scare to dread to sadness to hapiness, while here the only thing I felt was disappointment.
Yeah, what have they done to Monstro? He was already threatening in the original but turning him into some squid-mosasaur-alien thing just makes him look absurd. And his chase scene in the remake is a lot lamer than in the original cuz he just follows them in a straight line.
@@cintronproductions9430 You know, keeping Monstro as a whale or even making him a giant dogfish like how he was in the original Collodi novel would have better. I’d be even fine with the Humpback Whale elements that they incorporated into the design. Those giant tentacles should have been in the climax of The Little Mermaid remake with Ursula not Monstro.
@@hunterolaughlin Yeah, I mean, why did they even give him tentacles if he barely even used them? If the original Monstro had tentacles, he sure as hell would have used them to grab the heroes and drag them to his mouth, he would not allow them to escape, but this Monstro just lashed at them once or twice with the tentacles and didn't use them again even tho realistically nothing was stopping him from trying again until he grabbed them. 😅
I don’t know if anyone else ever done this is, but I’ll tell you right now I’m gonna make a prediction of their next Disney live action remake, if you thought Animat is mad about some of the Disney remake movies he previously reviewed then I can sure to you that he will *not* enjoy the one I’m predicting.
So here is my prediction for the next Disney live action remake movie: Years from now, Disney will do a remake of the hunchback of notre dame, and like most of their previous movies they’ll copy and paste and scene by scene of the animated version. They will either add one new song or a new character for this remake, they will cast famous celebrities, they’ll botched it up of not understanding and what makes the animated movie great and has a good mix of light and dark in 1996 version and finally they’ll add cgi on the gargoyles and Esmeralda’s pet goat Djali. And to add cherry on top they will remove some certain scenes that was in the animated movie like Frollo sniffing Esmeralda’s hair, him singing the most famous and popular song “Hellfire” (or keep it but just make it lame for the remake) and remove some good stuff that was in the animated version.
And that was my prediction of their next live action remake movie. And I will tell you right now, if they ever do remake one of Animat’s favorite movie. I can definitely guarantee that he will go ballistic on that remake and tear it to shreds.
Moral of this story - But remember, a remake that won't be good might just as well be made of wood.
LOL 😅😂🤣
Gepetto should’ve said “you are a toy!”
Pinocchio: “You are a sad strange little man and you have my pity. Farewell.”
I actually forgot about this remake at first cause it came out on the same day of the Queen's death, and obviously everyone focused on that instead LMAOOO
Hearing the word DIE from one of the CDi Zelda Games really cracked me up!
LoL 😂
All this time I thought it was part of the movie until I glanced over on Disney+
I knew this was gonna be pretty bad and like most of Disney's Live-action remakes was gonna be overshadowed by its superior original (though I have a soft spot for a few), let's hope the next adaptation of this story is better, though considering it's a stop motion film directed by Guillermo Del Toro that's already making it the best of the 3 Pinocchio adaptations
One thing is for certain, like any movie remake in general, the Disney live action remakes’ life cycle of relevancy is really short
"Who's telling the story? Me or you?"
Pepa from Encanto would like to have a word with you.
0:31 - 0:58
This perfectly sums up this and (most of) the Disney live-action remakes in general.
The thing that makes me so incredibly sad is what a genuinely special man WALT DISNEY was. And yet this burnt out husk of a company shames his name.
He put so much love, blood, sweat and tears into everything he did only to have the soulless profiteers like Eisner come in and for decades now just destroy his legacy
Pinnochio: *A timeless classic*
Pinnochio remake: *A timeless disasterpiece*
The wall of clocks are not only a reminder of the time you're wasting watching these things but all the other movies being prepared to get tossed in the Live Action CGI Remake woodchipper
Agreed.
Do you remember how nifty and beautifully articulate the original clocks were??
And some of them were based: a turkey getting shot at, an alcoholic hiccuping, and a misbehaving child getting spanked by his mother.
That Grade School Concert Band version of When You Wish Upon A Star is glorious.
The only Disney remake I've liked so far was jungle book, the rest of which were either meh to really bad.
The problem is that Modern Disney doesn't understand what made the classic movies so magical.
But to them it seems to be CGI combo with modern trends.
I thought Cinderella was ok but I was a child when I watched it and I did leave the cinema feeling like I could have just watched the original and had the same amount of enjoyment for free but I didn't completely hate it.
I also enjoyed the Dumbo remake, but I really don't think it should have been a dumbo remake. I think the film should have been about the two children.
If you count Malficent as a remake I also personally think Malficent is pretty good as well.
I grew up watching the original Pinocchio. I loved it so much! The remake is just insulting
The fact Pinocchio is looking at horse shit is a metaphor for the movie
“Father, when can I leave to be on ma OWWWWNNNN!!!???” 😂😂
❤️💖 Personality, as much as I do respect Robert Zemeckis as a filmaking director and I do loved the films he directed like Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and the Polar Express, he wasn't the perfect right choice to direct this film. They could've picked someone else. I prefer him directing a Who Framed Roger Rabbit sequel than a Pinocchio remake.
Paul King should've directed this film better. He was the perfect choice to direct this film since he does a better job directing and writing the Paddington movies. Maybe Paul King could have mixed both elements between the original book and the original 1940 animated film just like how Jon Favreau did when he mixed both elements of the original book and the 1967 animated film into the 2016 live action remake of the Jungle Book.
I think the adventures of Pinocchio from 1996 did a great live action job
Yes, quite the way to ruin such an important and timeless movie. The original Pinocchio was the first animated film to win an Academy Award in a competitive category: Best Original Song and Best Original Score. No other Disney feature did that again until Mary Poppins and no animated Disney feature did it again until The Little Mermaid. In the end , I'd bet money people will be going right back to the original Pinocchio.
Ladies and Gentlemen, The same director who gave us Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Ohhh how the mighty have fallen.
I didn't even see this, but one gripe I really have with this is the fact that even though Disney cares so much about representation to the point of being woke about it, there is literally only like one or two Italians in the cast of this movie, which is an adaptation of an Italian story. The original animated movie wasn't any better when it comes to the lack of Italians in the movie, but because of what I said earlier, I'm mad at the remake for this. The most prominent Italian in the cast plays an antagonist too (you don't have to read into it, but I'm just saying). Maybe I have this problem because I'm mostly Italian-American, I don't know.
I didn't know Italians were a race unto themselves. You could say that the filmmakers underrepresented native Italian speaking actors, of course.
Oh I wasn’t saying they’re a “race”. I was talk about people from Italy and/or Italian-Americans. I’m just saying that Disney cares so much about representation and doesn’t include people from the same place as the origin of the story is hypocritical.
@@PhoenixAura81 Okay, gotcha.
@@dan_hitchman007 Italian isn't a race but It is a culture and Pinocchio is part of Italian culture. So doing a remake of Pinocchio and not really including Italians is what the woke would call cultural appropriation.
@@pinkdiamond1847 Then you would have a problem with A LOT of movies all over the world, not just "Pinocchio." Just look how many British, New Zealand, and Australian actors come to Hollywood playing Americans with a fake accent and vice versa. It happens all the time. Even Italian films will sometimes use actors from Spain or France or wherever to portray Italian characters. The studios want the best actor for the job and who will draw an audience, not just who speaks the language natively.
I mean you threw shade at Beauty & the Beast and Maleficent but at least the set designers for Beauty & the Beast seemed to have a fair amount of earnest fun designing the castle based around Rococo architecture, and the writers for Maleficent got to write scenes from a new angle instead of only adapting existing scenes for live action. They might not have been great or anything but like… at least _some_ people seemed to be having fun during the production. I’m not sure I can say the same here.
I’ve seen maleficent it was great!! :D
Watching the 1940 film(which I still love) the day before, I walked into the 2022 film with an open mind, expecting things to be expanded with the story, the characters, etc. While there were some good things I liked such as the quality of animation on Figaro, Honest John, and Gideon, the latter was a misfire.
I get what this Disney film adaptation was trying to do, but it unfortunately didn’t stick the landing, especially with the ending.
I would love to get what the Disney remakes are trying to do because I don't. I can't for the life of me imagine why they keep doing all these remakes when they make the originals. Not only much better but widely available, albeit with an unskippable lecture at the beginning for 15 seconds.
It's not even like they make money from them because they released it straight on to Disney plus which is something most people already have and would pay for without it being uploaded onto Disney plus and as for the merch they always try to rebrand their merch to fit the new remake and it's never successful and they always go back to using the old character designs within a year so it's not like they even make that much on merchandise either.
I feel like they gain nothing but pissing people off Which I can only see as a win if the reptilians that run Disney sustain themselves off anger rather than food which I admit is a possibility.
Honestly, the 1996 live action remake of Pinocchio starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas is worth watching more than this
Nah, the 1996 greatly sucks and Pinocchio looks awful as a puppet.
The 2019 Italian movie with Roberto Benigni is worth watching more than this movie.
I wonder if that's the one I saw as a child that gave me nightmares
@@pinkdiamond1847 it could be lol
This is why the classics are always better…
Give Pinocchio a big break…
However, I’m still checking out Del Torro’s version! Looks grim and interesting!
To be honest, I had zero faith in this remake and this is exactly why.
the sudden ending feels like sequel-bait
Pinocchio is also the victim in every situation in the remake, he never learns any lesson and learns that lying is ok in certain situations… and them changing the beer and cigars defeats the whole purpose of the scene!! Its not like it promoted that stuff in the original, they painted it in a bad light so kids wont try that stuff, in the remake its like teaching kids they cant have nice things like rootbeer and candy which are common things some kids enjoy. And also jimminy cricket looks straight out of a horror movie
Ya know? I'd love for Animat to review that Pinocchio Live Action/CG hybrid from years ago. The one where the puppeteer was also behind the pleasure island, and ended transforming into the whale.
It would be fun and it would be in keeping with this being Pinocchio's year.
Holy sheet, I had forgotten it premiered in 1996 XD
At this point, Pixar is the only one carrying Disney’s career, and even THEY’RE doing a terrible job at it, at least this year. A lot of people hated Turning Red, and Lightyear completely BOMBED in the box office.
Not completely true. Lots of people liked Turning Red and was #1 on Disney+ for a few months. Not one really liked Lightyear though. You're right on that one.
traduction at 7:09 : At the end Pinocchio shows himself as brave, honest and altruistic. Many say that he's transformed in a real boy. In his heart, Pinocchio is real like any real boy would be. The End.
basically, it's shown that technically pinocchio actually turns into a real boy in this live-action adaptation, but it's shown so fast that anyone can't even catch this important detail. also it's in italian so as if anyone would even understand that.
To be honest, I knew this remake was in trouble when I heard Zemeckis was involved.
…’Cause his last Disney movie (Mars Needs Moms) was such a hit.
Welcome to Marwen was also kind of bad. But Forrest Gump and Polar Express will always be good.
@@antoniosalieri1048 To give Marwen some credit, it makes sense why motion capture was used for the figurines, during their scenes. Gives the visuals a stylized look, and it helps differentiate the world of the figurines from the real world.
Disney should stop making live action remakes and just make an 2D animated movie already. Like, it's been awhile.
I'm so sure that despite Zemeckis being up there with Spielberg, Nolan, etc.,(and being a good writer himself) Disney had the total control and final say in the story, effing it up obviously.
