What Are Your Thoughts On Disney Doing Live Action Remakes of Its Animated Films ?

Oh man, will the live action Fantasia lack picaninny centaurs? Hopefully the ballet trained hippos make up for it.

Honestly , I don't think Any aspect of Fantasia would world as a Live action film .


I must admit , im surprised they have considered doing live action version Hercules The series Once Upon a Time Did have Hades in it. Yjeu also di a live action version of a number ofaAnimated Disney Characters in the series.
 
They doing a live action remake of Moana .:oops:
 
What Disney really needs to re-do is all the films that are part animation and part live action. They need to swap them. Song of the South with an animated old black man talking to a realistic rabbit.
 
I think it's also high time to re-do the Star Wars movies as musicals.

To the tune of West Side Story's "A boy like that..."

"A rogue like that, will run your Kessell."

Phantom of the Darkside an Andrew Lloyd Weber musical.:D
 
Having two daughters mean I am well versed in the art of Disney, and have seen most of the films, both animated and live action.

The live action films are almost all very poor facsimiles of the originals. Disney is a genius animation house; they convey such incredible breadth of storytelling and world richness through their brushstrokes. The original Pinocchio is one of the greatest pieces of art from the 20th century. The remakes are seemingly borne out of the logic that CGI is better able to tell a story than animation. But look at the expressions of Simba from the original The Lion King... and then the flat, expressionless photorealism of the shockingly dreadful CGI remake. There was no storytelling in the imagery at all.

The only exception I would say is the Cinderella remake with Lily James, Cate Blanchett, and Richard Maddox (and a good turn by Helena Bonham Carter - you and me, Helena, we can still make it which!) which was a genuinely good film. Of the rest, Mulan was pretty good. Beauty and The Beast was ok, but given that the original is one of the greatest animated films of all time, it all seems rather pointle$$$$$.
 
Live action movies that revolve around animals bear no comparison with the animated originals. Animated animals doing things that aren't possible in real life is fine, but for some reason when they try this with CGI animals it looks false and fake.
 
Well it seems obvious to me that something like The Lion King is anthropomorphising the animals; I mean, the story is Hamlet for goodness' sake. So if you're anthropomorphising the animals you need to see their expressions, otherwise what's the point?

Look at this comparison of 1994 Simba and 2019 Simba:

It seems odd that Disney don't know this about their own storytelling. The really weird thing is that Disney is still making really excellent animated films, like Encanto, Moana, and Big Hero 6 to name but three from the last decade. And will they dare to remake Frozen?

I can only imagine that the RL remakes are happening under a different arm of the studio. The Department for Excess Avarice, perhaps?

I think a scene involving the track Stormtroopers In Stilettos by Queen would be rather apt. @Phyrebrat could choreograph it. although he'd probably rather see C3PO doing Vogue.
 
A long time ago a local TV station had a line-up of The Simpsons followed by Married With Children. A friend of mine always changed the channel after The Simpsons with the explanation -- It's OK for cartoons to do that stuff, but not for real people.

In general Disney cartoons fall into that category for me.

Besides, even their "live action" is 99% computer generated animation. So, photo-realistic animation? Maybe not.

I cringe at the thought of a photo-realistic Mickey Mouse chopping up broomsticks.

Making this in into a live action film ? Talk about running out of original ideas for films. Very Sad.

Well clearly Threepio can’t vogue — his shoulder joints are limited. I’d cast the dianoga as the voguer ;)
