Disney General - The saddest fandom on Earth

I consider even those to be pretty damn weak, better than say, Beauty and the Beast, but still pretty bad.

I mean I can see why you'd think that. The remakes appeal to people who like dumb 2000s comedies, so if you're outside of that demo the films would be pretty meh. Still, they're the only ones you could really call 'good'

The trailer for The Lion King just wasn’t that interesting. It’s pretty much shot-for-shot of the original. From the Disney remakes I have seen, they end up being more of a let-down because the parts they add aren’t that great usually, and the parts they take out are usually the ones I love. Of the Disney remakes, The Jungle Book was a better adaptation than Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella.

I think the Jungle Book worked best as far as an adaption, because the animated version was already weak as fuck. It was one of the kind of forgotten movies because of that, I think it was pretty overshadowed by Robin Hood and Sword in the Stone. Beauty and the Beast/Lion King/Aladdin/Little Mermaid on the other hand are considered the pinnacle of the Disney Renaissance, and therefore all a person (not blinded by nostalgia goggles) will see is how it compares to the animated version and gives nothing that they didn’t already produce.

Ahaha, it really does look like they're selling the same movie all over again. I doubt it will diverge from the plot majorly apart from some little changes here and there, so there is no point in having a remake of an already good movie and even less incentive to see it.

But of course, Disney sycophants are going to eat up anything The Mouse serves them.

Sadly, having a character stay evil would have been too much of a risk. What happened to the studio that killed off Bambi’s mom after developing a connection to that character? I want that kind of Disney again

They seem to come and go. Don Bluth left the studio in the early 80's because they didn't want to take risks like killing the older hunting dog in The Fox and the Hound (even though it would've made the desire for revenge much stronger).

Its funny, I dont see Disney clamouring to live action remake little mermaid. Probably because that would be really hard.

It's been in their queue since 2017.

It's not difficult if they CGI all the underwater

It’s coming, don’t worry, eventually they’ll rape all of your childhood memories.

Hell do the Aristocats, that was a horrible movie. Mix it with the joke The Aristocrats for the adults, honestly I assumed the movie’s title was a play on that since I first heard of the joke.

Oh no the Little Mermaid is coming along, and the big word of mouth is that they're looking to blackify the cast so woke audiences can start liking this "sexist" story again. That and lady Gaga and the Hamilton guy will also star in it.

Not sure how I feel about Lin-Manuel Miranda's involvement with Disney. Like, good for him, he deserves it, he's a canny writer and a great personality and can adapt to the Disney style, and all that jazz...but he's attached to how many of their projects? Eventually, they're going to scrub him clean or run him into the ground.

On the Lion King trailer: that's some seriously impressive CGI, too bad it's in a movie nobody asked for.

 

[SirQuicksand]

I'm calling it, the Lion King movie will be totally shat all over but the mouse bootlickers are gonna eat that shit up, anyway.

Hey, anyone remember when Disney announced an Artemis Fowl movie?

 

[Doctor of Autism]

Have any of the remakes really been any good? They either change the things that made the original fun or are just stale scene-by-scene copypastes.

Jungle Book but of course it would be good since the original wasn't that good to begin with.

At least it had wolves, the wolves in the '67 barely get a few minutes tops.

So, just for something a little different. I found this channel that that goes over the history of rides at theme parks. He's got some interesting ones on Disney.

This looks like crap. The CG looks lazy and the movie's years too late to be relevant.

I would have liked this about 10 years ago when I was reading them.

 

[neverendingmidi]

I read through the Artemis Fowl book, I guess the first one, and the main character was such an unlikable asshole I wanted to see him drown in cement.

I love this guy's videos! Here's one on the stupid ride California Adventure once had.

Here's a couple more from Yesterworld, it was what I was looking for originally when I found Defunctland.
