Moana absolutely does NOT need a remake this soon. Put Moana on Broadway instead, it would be WONDERFUL on Broadway. Pacific Islander representation onstage!
@@carterryans There's a lot of things they can do. They can have lighting, projections, even having actors wave sheets of fabric and have one of the actors be "the ocean" that interacts with the characters.
@@elizabethfeuerbach5006yeah, it seems pretty easy to me. frozen on broadway did the same thing with snow and i think the ‘moana jr’ show for kids has an ocean character.
The Moana remake is nothing but a Dwayne Johnson vanity project. That crossover movie with Ariel sounds great though, it would brilliant to see something like that. Also, I think Disney should try to do something with Ariel's sisters like a series or something. They were a big part of the film's marketing only to have very little presence in final product.
Honestly, I've given up on Disney. They don't know how to make movies anymore. They care about money more than creativity and quality. And the treatment that Halle Bailey got was absolutely terrible. They did nothing to support and elevate her in the role of Ariel and yet this movie could have been spectacular! That's why I'm so glad that there's independent animators and filmmakers out there who actually put life and soul in the stuff that they make! I hope that one day, Halle will get another, original princess role in which she will be truly and fully supported.
I think this is brilliant. And I won't lie, I had a very similar idea while playing Disney Dreamlight Valley. I think it's Ariel who briefly mentions how interesting she thinks Moana is in one of her tiny conversations with you, and it immediately made sense to me that Ariel and Moana would absolutely be adventuring besties in some kind of crossover context.
My theory is that this is why they’re pushing the “diversity” thing so hard - if you criticize these movies for being bad, you’re racist or sexist. Because there are dummies who legit are racist, so they just lump you with those people if you don’t like it lol
I love this idea and i feel it could be done with some other princesses. Maybe movie were Elsa and Rapunzel are being hunted because of their magical abilities. The person hunting them would damage their reputations all while naming them "The Witch Queens".
I completely agree with you! Disney adding something new/different to the table with their live-action films like crossovers that fans have wanted for years and spending money to make it actually look compelling would make us definitely want to see it. Also, you're right, Disney definitely did Halle wrong and should rectify it by properly portraying her in a better and new way. Btw, you are super creative and Disney should hire more people like you who care not just about the story and characters that they're portraying, but the fans of the franchise as well. It's so sad & frustrating to see Disney just ruin their legacy by caring more about quantity than quality, which was what made them so legendary in the past.
i think another thing that made the earlier remakes easier to differentiate was that they were adapting disney films from the 50s-60s. it's much easier removed from comparison because the songs aren't as tied to the story and as you said, the cinematic language and scripts are a lot different than now. now that they've gotten into the renaissance, they're only 30~ years removed from the source material and most people who saw them in theaters still pretty clearly remember seeing them. it gives disney a nostalgia bonus and might initially create more sales, but then they try to walk the line between those expectations to generate as much revenue as possible in the long run and end up saying nothing. there's also something to say for an increasing overreliance on overworking vfx teams for rushed cgi in every scene, as opposed to slowing down the production to ensure the films look as good as possible or even just adapting more 'grounded' stories that can still look nice without needing to worry about wonky animal designs or whatnot. i'm surprised it's taken disney this long to allow the princesses to interact- i think it would be interesting if they made more crossover games/comics a la kingdom hearts, or maybe released proshots of the broadway versions theatrically to fill the slots of remakes.
Personally, I actually really like the idea of POTC inspired crossover adventure between Moana and Ariel, with the spectacle and huge grandiose scope you'd expect from such a project. Would genuinely be awesome to see, not to mention, could allow Bailey a second chance as the character, not only that, but also play a around with a possibly darker and more serious tone. Also, doing crossovers instead of standard live action remakes, gives them an excuse to not only do a crossover between The Lion King, Tarzan, and The Jungle Book, but also utilized (/kindof Semi-confirm) the Tangled/Frozen theory of Rapunzel being Anna and Elsa's Cousin, and finally do thay crossover, or even better, make those weirdos at the Rise of The Brave Tangaled Frozen Dragons fandom (yes that's a thing, look it up) happy, and do that as a crossover movie...granted, they'd have to pay DreamWorks, because two of the characters, Hiccup from Httyd and Jack Frost from Rise of the Gaurdians, are in that lineup, but still, it's at least something, and something is better then nothing. Though honestly, if they did the crossover route like you suggested, I'd honestly prefer they'd be animated rather then live action, but that's just me. Alternatively, however, if they have to continue doing the live action remakes as they are, why not do it films that warrant a remake. The reason the remakes of Cinderella and The Jungle Book worked is because while the originals weren't bad persay, they were definitely flawed, and did have areas in need of improvement, and there respective remakes, for the most part, improved those weaker aspects. For example, Black Cauldron, is definitely a film that warrants a remake. A more book accurate adaptation of Black Cauldron, and directed by someone like a Sam Raimi or a George Miller no less, is amazing to think about. Or how about Sword in the Stone. The original film was so boring, but I think a movie about Arthur's childhood both before and possibly after he pulls the legendary sword Excalibur from the Stone and training under Merlin, is a fun and interesting idea that deserves a second chance, it could even be a two parter, with Part Two taking cues from John Boormans Excalibur and focusing on Arthur's adulthood. Or how about Frozen, yeah the movie isn't horrible, but it's still is very flawed in a lot of areas, and could also benefit from a remake. Such as giving the Duke of Weaseltown a bigger role, perhaps upgrading him to the clear cut main antagonist, and/or actually having the ice blast to the heart slowly turn Anna evil, and have her be the twist villain instead, or lean more into TLK parallels, or let the scenes between the sisters sit more to truly show what dividing for so long has done, you know actually improved upon the more flawed aspects to make a better narrative (also, that Once Upon a Time show (....no, seriously) already gave the perfect casting for live action Anna and Elsa with Elizabeth Lail and Georgina Haig, so, yeah, just bring them back). The point is, if they aren't going to do anything cool, new, and/or interesting like what your suggesting (and I would absolutely love to see, especially the Ariel and Moana crossover idea, as it means more Hailey Bailey, and looking like how Ariel is suppose to no less), then at least do remakes on films that warrant a remake.
You have a lot of great ideas that I feel the Disney company needs at this point. I don’t mind the live-action films, but I have to agree that a lot of them fail to bring the same vibrancy and imagination that the original movies had. I adore Halle as Ariel and would love to see her return in a sequel or crossover. I feel like the live-action could have pushed the boundaries with the visuals and overall direction. They could make up for the areas they messed up in with a second film.
Personally I love this idea however I would add one thing and add in Kida from Atlantis. Atlantis is a very underrated movie and I feel like it deserves more love (I personally feel like they should use live action remakes to breath new life into their less popular animated movies instead of the extremely popular ones) and having Kida be in an ocean adventure movie with 2 other ocean princesses would be the much needed push she deserves. Also it gives them the opportunity to expand upon the word of Atlantis. With Ariel representing Greek mythology and the Caribbean and Moana representing Polynesian mythology and Pacific Islanders they could give Kida a connection Aztec or Mayan gods or something along those lines (doubt they would because that would be too similar to what they did over in Marvel with Namor) over all I just feel like a movie with Moana, Ariel, and Kids would be great
On June 12, 2024, it was announced that newcomer Catherine Laga‘aia from Sydney, Australia was cast as the titular character. Additional casting includes John Tui as Chief Tui, Frankie Adams as Sina, and Rena Owen as Gramma Tala.
I need a break from remaking films that came out during my generation or just before. Making a sequel this year means we shouldn't be having a remake anytime soon.
I really like your idea of a Moana and Little Mermaid crossover sequel. It definitely has potential for creative worldbuilding and giving more life to these characters. I also think Disney should go back to their roots and find more fairytales and legends to make into movies, animated or not. There are more fairytales by Hans Christian Andersen, Brother Grimm, and all over the world than what they already made. If they do that, it can remind the audience what Disney does best and how it became popular in the first place. Again, great video and great idea.
I love this idea! The thought of Disney Multiverse Clashes has haunted my dreams since I first watched most of the original films. To see Ariel and Moana in a high-stakes adventure (Sure, I think since this is Disney, they should have light-hearted themes, but overall, the tone should take a darker and more serious route. Maybe a few casualties that will really impact the audience.) would really set Disney back on top. Obviously, it can't be any bland story, or else they'll never get off the ground, but, if you're right, and they do get a writer who actually understands sea legends, and appreciates these Disney Princesses, then we can get this together. But, there is one major thing this movie must have. A good antagonist. The only reason I even remotely like King Magnifico of Wish was because he was incredibly voiced by Chris Pine, (The dude is great.) but Disney cannot keep doing what it has been with Simpathetic Villaines, twist villains, and collective antagonists. It's just not working anymore. Sure, Sea Monsters are needed for a high stakes Sea Movie, but you really need someone who the audience can focus their hate and fear upon. A Black Manta for Disney! Someone who is Ruthless, Remoursless, Pitiless, Cruel, Vile, Insane, power-hungry, Vengeful, Egotistical, and simply put, PURE EVIL. If we can get a guy/girl who fits that description, who is willing to go to any lengths to get what they want and destroy the protagonists, then we have a box office success on our hands.
Hi, Tommy. There are rumors that disney wants Dua Lipa as Megara and Austin Butler or Taron Egerton as Hercules in the Hercules live action. What do you think about it? It would be nice if you make a video about about it 😊
@@IndonesianboyHey, if Disney makes a live action version of the little mermaid two, but gives it an actual plot, as opposed to the direct-to-video version, which just flipped the story on it's head, I'd watch that!
I love your idea. But disney is not how I grow up anymore. Instead doing the crap they are doing, to me disney should make a movie with all the characters
I always put a Disney princess film would be awesome. My dear for the plot would be each princess maybe not all of them, but But they find one bit of a stone, and that them transport into the kingdom where they need to help the villages five again paul said there was a Lego Disney princess film on Disney+. That was really good.
I'm to exhausted and tired of remakes. I want more diverse princesses. I want them to bring back the traditional 2d animation. Heck! I even want a modern day Disney Princess. I want them to take challenges and even create a Disney Prince who is the main character (just like the Disney Princess) but subvert it a little. A goth Princess, (but make her biracial - black and white mix, or black), a pastel goth princess, an 80s princess etc etc
Oooohhh it would be like “ Once Upon a Time” but up by a 1,000,000!!!!! 😌I love this idea it feels explosive yet familiar & intimate. Which is important b/c Disney is for “Family Fun Time” not necessarily kids. And THIS TIME, maybe these blockbusters can encourage Disney to make new inclusive Disney characters for future projects. Figure crossed they get it together soon🤞🏾
Moana absolutely does NOT need a remake this soon. Put Moana on Broadway instead, it would be WONDERFUL on Broadway. Pacific Islander representation onstage!
I agree but Lin Manuel Miranda said he wanted to but he doesn’t know how to do the ocean
Didn't they use to do that? They adapted the film for the stage?
@@carterryans There's a lot of things they can do. They can have lighting, projections, even having actors wave sheets of fabric and have one of the actors be "the ocean" that interacts with the characters.
@@elizabethfeuerbach5006yeah, it seems pretty easy to me. frozen on broadway did the same thing with snow and i think the ‘moana jr’ show for kids has an ocean character.
The Moana remake is nothing but a Dwayne Johnson vanity project. That crossover movie with Ariel sounds great though, it would brilliant to see something like that.

I wouldn't put it past him to make Mona have no lines
I don’t understand why crossovers with Disney Princess hasn’t been a thing yet
Same
It's a thing in a Lego series on Disney plus
Honestly, I've given up on Disney. They don't know how to make movies anymore. They care about money more than creativity and quality. And the treatment that Halle Bailey got was absolutely terrible. They did nothing to support and elevate her in the role of Ariel and yet this movie could have been spectacular! That's why I'm so glad that there's independent animators and filmmakers out there who actually put life and soul in the stuff that they make! I hope that one day, Halle will get another, original princess role in which she will be truly and fully supported.

At this is point Disney has shut out any and all criticism.

I hear you... an ocean adventure/ POTC-like story IS exactly what I want for a TLM2 bc it is probably one of my favorite movies
I love this idea and i feel it could be done with some other princesses. Maybe movie were Elsa and Rapunzel are being hunted because of their magical abilities. The person hunting them would damage their reputations all while naming them "The Witch Queens".

Maybe that's why they were making remakes. To do crossovers like MCU movies eventually
I’m here for having a Moana and Ariel crossover rather than another remake.
I think Dwayne should play Zeus in live action Hercules
i think another thing that made the earlier remakes easier to differentiate was that they were adapting disney films from the 50s-60s. it's much easier removed from comparison because the songs aren't as tied to the story and as you said, the cinematic language and scripts are a lot different than now. now that they've gotten into the renaissance, they're only 30~ years removed from the source material and most people who saw them in theaters still pretty clearly remember seeing them. it gives disney a nostalgia bonus and might initially create more sales, but then they try to walk the line between those expectations to generate as much revenue as possible in the long run and end up saying nothing. there's also something to say for an increasing overreliance on overworking vfx teams for rushed cgi in every scene, as opposed to slowing down the production to ensure the films look as good as possible or even just adapting more 'grounded' stories that can still look nice without needing to worry about wonky animal designs or whatnot.

This idea of yours sounds so good!!! Like I would totally watch it if this was what we will get in the Moana movie
someone at disney better be writing this down - this would be epic like the DCU - and we know it works because Once upon a time was a success
FRR they don't need a remake of a 3D animated movie they should stick to classics for now and this movie isn't even a decade old yet😭💀
