The character being a literally cartoon character in the live action setting doesn't work for me
That's because it's not supposed to work. It's like I said in the Western Animation thread. These things were meant to be animated and they should be if the story was not meant to be "realistic"/grounded but instead charming & whimsical. You simply can't recreate that sort of thing in live action.
 
Great. Another live-action remake of a beloved animated Disney movie.

Like all of the Disney live-action remakes, it's just "meh." A reminder why Disney is creatively bankrupt for years.
 
It looks pretty cheap that in the original, the aliens disguised themselves as humans poorly but the live action has them turn into regular humans. Must've been cheaper than constantly animating a CG model

That's why you have to go the Fat Albert route in just turning them into real people, or you go the (actually cleverly written which sadly no long exists) meta route exactly how Rocky & Bullwinkle did it. People want to emulate Roger Rabbit real badly but they don't know (or care) as to why it was it actually worked. It wasn't just because of the magical practical effects they pulled off nor the talented animators, it was because of the setting, in how in their Hollywood, cartoon characters are actual actors despite living in their own Toon World and that they still have toon logic even in the real world, but they come to the real world for work simply because they're fucking actors, so they get treated like real people as a result.

The problem is they want to make the cartoon character still have the same cartoony model but with realism. You cannot have it both ways, it's literally a miracle suspension of disbelief works with the Sonic movies and Detective Pikachu and I sincerely doubt it will ever work outside of those properties*. Many have tried and failed, but normies are retarded and have enabled this since the 2000s with Scooby-Doo, and Garfield, and Alvin and the Chipmunks (all of which made the human characters in those series be portrayed as normal humans, as you should), and anything else I'm not thinking of. It's actually impressive they have restrained themselves from doing a live-action My Little Pony.

* EDIT actually Digimon might be able to work if they were to ever do a Digimon live-action movie since this rule of real life interacting with virtual reality and vice-versa was literally set in stone since 1999. They would just have to be able to visually differentiate between Digital World and the real world, maybe have the human characters become 3D virtual models or have similar properties (and especially over time since in-series, this wasn't something they knew about until time passed). Likewise, when the Digimon are in the real world, they'll definitely have to be rendered like they're flesh and blood, which is fucking difficult to do with CGI but it can be pulled off. Also they have to balance out the real world and Digital World scenes, not necessarily an even 50/50.

Just stopping by to remind you that there's also a Bambi remake in the works and an aristocats remake by Questlove
I'd be amuse if the cats go anthro like in the original film, but I'm sure they'll fuck that up anyway.

Watching the live action Lilo & Stitch trailer reminded me of how great David Ogden Stiers was voicing Jumba. He also had great range as this character and his previous Disney voice roles, Cogsworth from Beauty, Ratcliffe (and Wiggins) from Pocahontas, the Archdeacon in Hunchback, and Harcourt in Atlantis, all sounded completely different from one another.

Do u think on set Gadot and Zegler acted like completely normal coworkers with the tweets just being for the virtue signal or do u think they legitimately hated eachother over politics n whatever? I hope filming was as miserable as possible ngl
thankfully this movie was filmed so long ago Gadot and Zegler probably didn't even know each other's politics. the literal first release date for this piece of shit was oct 2023.
What's most depressing is that this will probably turn up a profit because of 'memberberries normalfags inability to not consume product.
you'd be surprised how little money these movies make, outside of aladdin and the lion king which had literal A-list casts, almost none of these make enough money to justify being made. I expect this one to gross $500m but thats not that much in the big scheme of things with how much money kids movies make.

God bless that man's soul. I'm glad he's not here to see this.
 
What I find truly wild is that Disney was apparently incapable of pressuring Zegler to shut her dumb mouth.
apparently one of the dwarves caught the Zegler bug.

“Snow White” actor Martin Klebba, who voices the character Grumpy in the live-action remake of the 1937 classic, says he’s “disappointed” that the movie’s upcoming premiere has been scaled back by Disney. But he doesn’t blame the company. “I was a little disappointed,” Klebba, told The Post. “I’m not disappointed in Disney. I’m disappointed in the world.”
He explained, “We’ve come to this place in society where people work really hard on this movie, where Marc [Webb], the director, is probably four years into putting this together, [along with] the producers and Disney, and just because a couple of people have views that not everybody feels the same way, now we’re having to alter the fun part of making a movie, which is premieres.” “So I’m a little bummed, but I understand it as well,” Klebba said. “Disney is one of the greatest production companies of all time, so you gotta be really careful in today’s world. So I see why they did it.” “I’m just still a little bummed because I was really looking forward to doing the red carpet.”
“The world has come a long way. Whether you’re woke or not woke, God doesn’t make mistakes. Just be you and accepting,” he said. “Accept everybody for who they are and the world would be a great place.”
“I wish Hollywood would be a little bit more open minded with people with disabilities,” he shared. “Whether they’re in a wheelchair or they’re shorter or whatever it might be, give everybody an opportunity.” “Step outside the box and be open to casting someone for their abilities, not just for what they look like, even though I’m better looking than Brad Pitt,” he added with a laugh.

He's an angry (grumpy) Dwarf

 
Seeing what's being done with the Lilo & Stitch remake, I reminded myself we could've had this scene 23 years ago...
one of the few times executive meddling actually proved to be useful. There's a time and a place for that sort of commentary - a movie about a little girl and her blue alien ain't it. Which is why I fully expect them to re-insert it into the remake and make it even more on-the-nose somehow. *sigh*
