Live Action Remakes: Disney's Consistent Failure

Фильм және анимация

Disney has made a lot of great animated films in the past, but their track record for the live action remakes hasn't been so hot. In this video, I discuss a few of the biggest (critical) failures over the last few years, and my thoughts on them. I hope you all enjoy!

    I think a big problem with Live Action Disney is that they don't give storytelling as much importance as the popularity and spectacle of their movies. Whenever they change/retain scenes or characters from the animated versions, they don't seem to check whether it will make the storyline more cohesive or not. In my opinion, movies aren't supposed to be just a compilation of taped shots. They're supposed to be a series of events that make up a single bigger picture.

    I feel that the biggest problem with these remakes is that they are not needed and make unnecessary changes to try and be “modern”. I personally feel that a remake is needed when the old version is obsolete or inaccessible like say Resident Evil 2 for PS1 getting the remake treatment for newer audiences but movies are always accessible with streaming services nowadays, so what’s the point

    While that is a fair point, something else you need to remember is that these are remakes. Meaning Disney has made a version of the movie in question prior. And yes, they're animated. Honestly, I think Pinocchio is the worst of them. Though The Lion King is a close second.

    You can just take this Jiminy out of the live action and NOTHING would be different. Why? Because they made Pinocchio smart for NO REASON. He basically already knows the difference between right and wrong in every situation and doesn't have to learn or grow from his experiences or mistakes. Because who CARES about a story of meaningful character development? Who cares about showing a protagonist be flawed or have character downfalls because of said flaws? Who cares about showing kids that you can change yourself and learn when you fall? Just who cares? Robert and his team clearly didn't.

It’s entirely exclusive to the Disney version as other adaptations of Pinocchio don’t depict kids smoking or drinking beer. In the original Carlo Collodi novel, Pleasure Island, or The Land of Toys as it was named in the novel, is a place for boys (and girls depending on the retelling or adaptation of the story) to play all day and not do school work. It never really was a carnival or a gangster’s paradise as depicted in the Disney film. The idea being when the boys (and girls depending on adaptation) transform into donkeys, they’re punished for skipping school or neglecting work and study and spending more time playing.

    I definitely agree with a lot of your points. Disney’s latest era of live action really puts the wonder and magic of animation into a dull blending pot of reality. Real life can only take you so far, ya know? Which is why they would’ve needed to expand on the stories in a way that adapts to what real life can offer, which is real emotions in real moments. Having cartoony, exaggerated actions/emotions in limited live action doesn’t make sense :/ (i.e. any of the CGI characters. Real lions aren’t going to have human expressions 😶)

    I think Disney has already done an incredible adaptation - The Lion King Musical. (And it baffles me that not a SINGLE song from TLK musical made it into the realistically animated TLK movie.) They added songs to the musical changed it enough to fit the theatre. And honestly? It's such a gorgeous show. I love it more than the animated movie (sometimes). Everything new makes sense and the way the adaptation from screen to stage is magnificent. Every new part makes sense. TLK musical was such a wonderful experience. (I saw it on tour in Chicago.) But why is it such a huge success? It understands what the strengths and weaknesses of the mediums (animated movie and theatre). It asks, "Why was this originally an animated movie?" And it plays with the animated aspect but fits it to stage. It keeps the elements that made TLK what it was and BUILDS onto it. These adaptations don't do that. They don't alter it so it fits the medium. They very rarely build onto the world. They just force it to fit into a medium that it doesn't fit. I do think most of these movies could make okay live action movies. But I don't think they could be made identical to their animated counterparts. Because animated movies and live action movies, albeit being the same medium, are not the same.

    Worst part about Pinocchio was we don't even know if he really did become a real boy because the stupid cricket was all like "some say he did but WHO KNOWS" which just made that a big cockblock. At least with Aladdin and The Lion King it was casting and directing that was the issue, like they almost had it but the mistakes and changes made were just overall the worst things to happen to them. Worst part is The Little Mermaid had the potential to be good, but already in the trailer everything is dark and "realistic" and the fish actually look like the worst, especially Flounder. They're just taking the colour and magic out of everything.

The others I've seen -- Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and Dumbo -- I was NOT impressed with. I haven't seen the new Little Mermaid, but if Disney wanted to come up with a black mermaid character, why didn't they just come up with a new character altogether, with a new name and a new storyline, instead of just giving an existing character a different skin tone? Apparently, that was just too much work for the writers and animators. I'll be glad when Disney gets off this trend of re-making perfectly good animated films that do NOT need to be remade, and start making ORIGINAL films again, that are not prequels, sequels, spin-offs or remakes of existing films!

    I think that live-action Disney remakes could be good...if they focus more on the ones that were a bit underdeveloped in the first place. For example...they could do a more complete adaptation of The Wind In The Willows, focusing on the entire book instead of just the Toad parts. Or a version of The Sword In The Stone that's more faithful to the book (whether it's the stand-alone original or the version in the omnibus edition of The Once And Future King). Ideally, Disney would do the appropriate amount of groveling to the Lerner and Loewe estates and get the rights to the rest of TOaFK...they could make a really good trilogy, starting out with the innocents of SitS and getting more adult as we get into Arthur's adulthood and the dilemmas and heartbreak he faces. At one point, they were planning to make a live-action adaptation of the Night on Bald Mountain sequence of Fantasia, but it seems to have been shelved for the time being. I think it could work quite well...make it a sort of Hammer-lite historical fantasy-horror piece, focusing on the village beneath Bald Mountain and the legends of Chernabog and his yearly revels, and you'll have a costume spooker that's perfect for Halloween.

And "Proud Of Your Boy" is added back in, though in this version it's Aladdin singing to his deceased mother's memory. And the stage show's Genie is modeled more on Cab Calloway, as he was originally supposed to have been.) That would have made it more of its own thing, especially if they'd gone with the "classic MGM musical" feeling they were going for in early drafts, as well as bringing these concepts to the big screen at last.

Have the main mermaid with a different personality and why not even introduce pirates and treasures. Make a new fun, romantic adventure movie. It can be set in a fantasy land or even in the Caribbean. Ariel in Disney will always be seen as the blue-eyed red haired. This will be regarded as a cheap knock-off and that is really sad for both the main actress and the hard work of the team behind the effects of this movie.

    What is even more disappointing about the live-action remakes is that Disney doesn't give 2D animation much of the limelight to the modern movie screens, except for some movies like _Mary Poppin Returns_ or that _Chip and Dale Movie._ Isn't that animation a pinnacle to Walt Disney's career and legacy? If I learn anything from Solar Sands from "Reality Isn't Always Right", that's because art is realistic doesn't mean it's better. Even if you choose to be accurate to reality, you don't have to give up your own artistic influence or style.

Even in the cartoon I think he only had tree toes? Cleo is definitely off-putting, and a real cat would have helped so much for Figaro. If they'd just done some CGI overlay to help with facial expressions (1995's Babe did this right) that would have been perfect.

    THE DISNEY METHOD (Now The Standard Hollywood Method for Any Project): STEP 1: Make a misbegotten, mediocre, cash-grab film remake nobody asked for, that probably won't live up to the animated version which everyone has loved for several decades. STEP 2: Release the trailer and watch it get panned. STEP 3: Try to find some way -- if at all possible -- to slander and discredit the critics, and stir up a lot of online hate, divisiveness, and controversy for lots of free publicity and spin some social media cred. STEP 4: Mobilise the loyal Disney myrmidons and well-meaning others whose hearts are probably in the right place into thinking that by watching the remake over and over, and buying all the merch, it will somehow "show those dirty, evil nay-sayers" and make the world a better place for children and puppies and togetherness and so forth. Somehow. STEP 5: Release the film, because some brand cultists will watch anything with Disney slapped on the label, and because money. STEP 6: Sit back and laugh while everyone dances like puppets due to your masterful manipulation and propaganda and watch the money roll in. Repeat Steps 1 - 6 ad nauseam.

Please forgive me if you feel uncomfortable hearing Channel Awesome references but the Nostalgia Chick once said that if you are at least 10 years of age, the badness of a straight-to-video Disney sequel is usually inverse with how much you like the original (although personally I consider the Lion King and Lilo & Stitch sequels to be among the few good ones), and I guess that’s why I hate live action Lion King so much. Like Mars Needs Moms, it’s a glorified tech demo. It doesn’t even feel like a Disney film at all (a problem I also have with live action Beauty & The Beast) and overall, why watch the lifeless live action Lion King when the original clearly shows why the original NEEDED to be animated the way it was? I am ESPECIALLY enraged by the prospect of a live action Lilo & Stitch remake! If The Lion King made my childhood, Lilo & Stitch made my teenage years! Remaking the latter in live action will ALSO turn out badly! The original wasn’t even 20 years old yet when the remake was announced and this remake has the director of the Jem and The Holograms movie onboard! (I know about that flick from RebelTaxi and The Black Nerd) I am all for diversity so I will at least give the live action Little Mermaid points for giving us a black Ariel.

    The live action movies are a one-time cash grab per film, like selling your furniture. When your house runs out of it, you can't get money that way anymore. Disney still has a few more live action cash grabs after "The Little Mermaid" and "Snow not-White." I suspect a live action Frozen and Frozen II are in the works as a couple of quick cash-ins for Disney, possibly a PC Peter Pan, Hunchback, Pocahontas, Hercules, Bambi, and Tarzan, but there's not much else. That sounds like a lot, but that's maybe 2 or 3 years of theatrical movies and Disney+ shows, possibly four at most. They did live action versions of Lion King, Dumbo, The Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, Cinderella, a vomit-inducing version of Pinocchio, Lady and the Tramp, Alice in Wonderland (done a while ago), and a long history of 101 Dalmatian remakes. I don't think The Aristocats, The Black Cauldron, The Fox and the Hound, Robin Hood, Oliver and Company, Treasure Planet, Brother Bear, Lilo and Stitch, the Emperor's New Groove, that Atlantis movie, or the early 2000s garbage like Chicken Little, Home on the Range, or Meet the Robinsons have any future in 3D, and neither do ones which only work in 3D such as Zootopia or Wreck-It Ralph, given that it would all have to be CGI anyway. I guess they could do The Princess and the Frog for woke points, but that's almost it. And the Malificient movies basically are Sleeping Beauty, but I can see them doing the story straight-up if Disney drops the woke angle and REALLY needs new ideas for live action movies made from older films. I will say that a Disney+ live action Rescuers duology is certainly feasible. Not sure about the Great Mouse Detective. Point is, not all of these movies made money when they first came out, so they don't all have a fanbase which would tune in again and see them if they were remade. And I don't think live action Pixar movies would work, except for maybe The Incredibles. Again, most things in those movies would have to be CGI in any event.

I cared about what happened to him, because he didn't know any better. And it stuck more closely to the original tale, minus a few things. The Disney one just frustrates me.

    Idk if this has anything to do with Disney but I'm gunna say it anyway, In the fifth grade my class read a book called "Sign of the Beaver" and it was a good book. When we finished my teacher told us that we would watch a movie on Sign of the Beaver. We were all exited and when the day came, we were disappointed. You see, in the book the two main characters fought a bear and in the movie, they didn't do that. They kept focusing on the boys family when they didn't in the book. And every interesting part in the book wasn't in the movie. It SUCKED and people in my class weren't afraid to say it, even my teacher agreed

    Aladdin - not the best remake but memorable to watch The Lion King - exactly the same but realistically flawed Mulan - The (another) Last Airbender movie The Lady and The Tramp - wait, that was a thing? Pinocchio - dammit Zemeckis, you made me prefer Guillermo's version! The Little Mermaid - Aquaman is better

    Cinderella is by far the best Disney live action till this day and the only one I will never stop rewatching it. It's probably the best Cinderella live action movie that anyone could possibly imagine. I love how they make it like a Jane Austen esc style to it

    It’s kinda weird how the critics were actually right in the case of the first two movies here, while the audience ate that shit up, but everything went 180 for the Mulan remake. Also is it me or does the new Pinocchio sound like kazoo kid?

    I’m ngl with the lion king I understand why they looked so emotionless. It is so incredibly difficult to add emotions onto an animal that does not normally make those emotions. Like how do you make a lion look sad or concerned?! The chronicles of narnia struggled with it in their first 2 movies but they did a much better job with aslan, the beavers, even the wolves! They even made a badger look sad!

    Also, to add to Mulan, they took out... basically EVERYTHING from the original. No Mushu, no songs, and no lesson about hard work and determination. Plus, while the UNSPECIFIED VIRUS OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN (or the beer bug, whichever you prefer) DID have an effect on the movie, a lot of people were likely just burnt out by the remakes. I dread The Little Mermaid and ESPECIALLY Snow White. Mostly the latter, as it seems everything is going wrong. One of the sets burned down, the main actress won't shut up, no dwarves, and the story is changed from the original.

    Note: This may be a lengthy comment of mine as I have a lot to say. The 2010s with Disney's obsession with the Live Action remakes has been something I can't help but feel that has been getting worse and worse as time has pass, and in more recently politically corrupted over their stupid political agendas and identity politics (including some of the upcoming ones like Little Mermaid and Snow White, as well as the 2020 Mulan and 2022 Pinocchio). The movies are not looked backed fondly for the right reasons and are easily forgotten after they hit their time on the big screen or streaming service platform as the next "big movie remake" except for the 2016 Jungle Book (don't know what's people's thoughts on it now in the past 6 years)?. Though thinking about it now, I'm not sure what people's thoughts are now a days with the 101 Dalmatians remake way back around 1996 and it's sequel 102 Dalmatians 2000 because they seem a lot more faithful to the original 1961 101 Dalmatian story. But getting back to the main topic, MY biggest problem with the Disney Live Action remakes is that they forget what made the original animated versions so beloved and remembered masterpieces to a lot of us, and do those things even worse. To quote a comment I made a few weeks ago; "I would say the laziness is only part of the reason why these remakes are so bad and unnecessary. They forget and overlook key aspects that makes the original animated films beloved and remembered for generations. The remakes goes against that and tries to modernize things in films that are trying to be TIMELESS. They disrespect the audience with their forced down political agenda and message, and will attack ANYONE who goes against the 2010-Current Disney. I'm sure there are some positive things in some of these remakes, but they're not enough to keep them from being mediocre to bad, boring to forgettable, and even mocked and memed on." You ever noticed how in recent years the Disney remakes mainly put particular time in on certain films? Yep, it's the 1990s Renaissance, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King, Mulan, and the upcoming Little Mermaid? Why those films when they're not even about 50 years old compare to Alice in Wonderland, Jungle Book, and Pinocchio even though they got remade? It's simple to me, their films people remember the most and Disney decided to use nostalgia as a means to make a quick buck to their Live Action Cash Cows like the greedy scumbags they are, and people are starting to realize and get tired of Disney's recent shady practices. To quote the Lorax's lyrics from the original demo / cut song Biggering; "Greed... ya see it's like a little pet, alright? A-and the more, and more and more that you go and feed it, the more hungry it'll get! But... You know, you really can't blame greed. No that's stupid. You see, it's got a little worm inside. Oh yeah, that's right. It's one that always needs to feed, and it is never satisfied. You get it? But the more you go and try and find it, the more it likes to hide! Now listen, that is a NASTY little worm! I like to call it... Pride. See, now that's why you're biggering! Listen here, idiot! I'm figuring on biggering! But that biggering's just triggering more biggering! Got that? Alright!" Aside the greed Disney has just to keep itself afloat with all the stuff under it's belt like Star Wars and Marvel, it's now at a point where their pride is destroying the very legacy Walt Disney himself build up upon, they're disrespecting the core audience with their forceful beliefs injected in the movies and on social media, turning the stories into disgusting insults for their ideal remakes, and the creativity is bankrupted by having the wrong kinds of people working in the entertainment industry. I apologize if this post is lengthy, but I'm just stating my own passion and love I have for the original animated films as Disney clearly has all the wrong notes for when it comes to these remakes they made that I noticed in recent years and figured it was more than pass the point to express my own feelings and call them out for their own ridiculousness and stupidity.
