I never realized they made that much honestly. That said, the profit margins would be higher if they just rereleased the original movies into theaters since that would cost almost nothing. Disney should at least do limited runs of the original a few months later. Even if it cost a few ticket sales, they'd just be transferred to the re-run plus you'd have more ticket sales from people who would never see the new one and hardcore Disney fans who'd see both.

Then again I'm the kind of person who appreciates seeing classic movies back in cinemas so new people can appreciate them as originally released.

Problem is what are they gonna do with all of the stereotypes and out of date terminology that would only offend a small group of people that the common mass would just appreciate them for what they are original. Maybe put a disclaimer at the beginning of each film like they do inconveniently on Disney+, go figure.

I have the spicy opinion that I don't mind the disclaimers. It's better than just burying or editing episodes to conform to modern standards. Take the Muppet Show for example: uncut episodes (which is a miracle of licensing more than anything) with nothing cut like the giant confederate flag hanging in the background of Johnny Cash's episode. The only missing episode is because the guest got caught with CP years later.

Now if I'm remembering right Disney+ did still edit some stuff, but as long as it's available to adults I'm cool with it. Especially because Disney's been one of the worst companies about burying inconvenient content. At least Loony Tunes had DVDs of the forbidden episodes.

The ones that were cut were confusing, especially since those episodes were unedited on the DVDs... they had to cut out "Lullaby of Birdland" for some reason even though the whole episode's plotline revolved around it.

Chris Langham?

He was only in it because Richard Pryor didn't show up.
 
Pinocchio plays with horse shit for 2 mins in the new movie. 10 out of 10! Jimmy looks like the baby from Eraserhead and has human feet. There's a reason it went to streaming.

I always hated Disney's Little Mermaid from a kid to now, so I'll laugh at its suffering.
Besides, Splash is better.

Why do the have to do this? Who needed an origin story for Mufasa? Who wanted more dead-eyed CGI lions? How will these faglords shoehorn in his love for racial and queer elements? Will we find out that Mufasa was actually a stunning and brave bisexual transgender lion expelled by a pride of all-white lions for the crime of being a FOC (Feline of color)? He probably had to overcome feline AIDS as well, I am sure, which he caught from Scar and his hyena lover or something.

Who wants to place bets on which completely inappropriate whispy-voiced, bad-acting baboon they will get to voice young Mufasa?
 
What's the point of a Mufasa prequel when James Earl Jones is just as iconic with that character as he is with Darth Vader and no one can replace him? Is he going to be the one who introduces the Circle of Life as the antagonist will be another commentary of how capitalism is evil?

No she does not.

'the film already seems very close to the animated version'....except it doesn't? Those few minutes of footage looked bland and lifeless, lacking a lot of the bright, cheerful colors that the animated had in the ocean segments. I get that its supposed to be like the real ocean, but everything looked so muted and the fish were very dull for a reef.
Also her singing was not good.

She's at least an actual singer so I'm not expecting autotuning this time around, but the emotion in the vocals doesn't match that part of the lyrics. Context is somewhat missing, though.

Everything about this still reeks of an ego trip, however. She clearly is trying to make Ariel be more like herself instead of letting Ariel be Ariel.

Why Halle Bailey Was 'Sobbing' After The Little Mermaid: 'I Had Come Out of This Cocoon with Ariel'

"I'd definitely say coming into this film I was a lot more, I think, just young-minded and a bit more not sure of myself so much," she says. "The whole experience of filming, in more ways than one, mirrored Ariel's journey of finding herself and her voice."

"I remember at the end of filming, wrap day, I was just sobbing because I truly felt like I had come out of this cocoon with Ariel," says Bailey. "This story has done so much for me and the filming process has really kind of changed my life. I'd definitely say it mirrored what Ariel goes through in the film."

Bailey adds that the film has "changed my perspective on everything" and "impacted my life in so many ways." And she hopes the representation she now brings to the iconic story will mean just as much to young audiences.

"The fact that now it's getting to be played by me, a person who looks like me, woman of color, I'm just like, wow, I'm so grateful what it will do for all the other little Black and brown boys and girls who will see themselves in me," she says. "Because I know if I had seen myself when I was younger, I think my whole perspective would've changed."

"OMG I can finally relate to Ariel because she looks like MEEEEEEE!" Fuck off with that shit.

Remember, Disney is creatively bankrupt. Of course everything they'll do now is a spin-off, sequel, remake, prequel, yah-dah, yah-dah.

And based on this crappy Pinocchio remake, it's only going to get worse from here.
