The most frustrating part is that I have seen nothing but negative responses to the Aladdin stuff (the genie in particular) but you just know its gonna make money anyways. I've never understood why people go to see films they think are gonna be bad unless its like, phenomenally bad.

This thread sometimes just fills me with a tidal wave of depression. I know Disney can be better than this. They proved that shit during the Renaissance. This is just sad and pathetic and desperate on so many levels. A visionary company known for taking classical stories and reinventing them only to stoop to lazily reinventing their own reinventions. Fucking amazing.

I don't mind a sequel (even though there was a game that I guess counts) since that was a thing that's been floating around for years, but for the love of all that is holy no live action Nightmare Before Christmas. Stop it, Disney, you monsters.

There's plenty of untapped potential in a sequel; it'd be cool to see the other holidays through this universe's macabre visuals.
A live-action remake though? How? All the characters are deliberately exaggerated to the point where even the human characters are barely human-looking. Take that quality away and you remove much of the original's visual appeal, which castrates it. Not to mention, Nightmare's got such excellent visuals that replacing them with real actors and CGI would be a massive downgrade no matter how you slice it.

I could see a stage play of Nightmare working. They could add more songs and have creative ways of working with a limited space. Even so, it won’t have the same cool effects of the original movie and the character design would have to get innovative to still capture parts of the animation. I would take that over creepy CGI rendering though.

Didn't they do a sequel in, like, video game form?
As for the live-action thing, fuck that shit long and hard.

What is it this time? Not Islamic enough because Jasmine isn't wearing a full-body burqa?

If nothing else this film will sadly do well in China because they like Will Smith for some reason. Either way it will be terrible.

What a sad and dissapointing way to greet the new week, m8...
NO. I'm not going near ANY of this live-action crap when the animated stuff still holds up fine enough, honestly. It's all just greed, laziness, and short-sighted stupidity in every sense what's going on here - FACT. I'll come back when someone makes an actually good film again, thank you very fucking much!

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and hope that he can do the manic Jafar from the third act justice.
Whenever Disney does live action adaptations, I can't help but go back and see how Once Upon a Time did things. OUaT actually had two Jafars:
1. Sayid from Lost who portrayed Jafar in Once Upon a Time in Wonderland
2. Oded Fehr who portrayed Jafar in Once Upon a Time season 6.
Neither of them live up to Jonathan Freeman's performance in the film, obviously, but Sayid played up the sex predator aspects of Jafar very well. I also like Oded's growly breathlessness, but his American accent with British inflection is obnoxious.

The idea of a Nightmare live action remake just sounds like a horrible joke, tbh.
Like, who the fuck genuinely looks forward to these movies, outside of brainless disney fans and feminists/soyboys? Families cannot genuinely think these movies are "better" just because they're not animated, right?

All of these movies were better the way they were before this live-action remake BS as they were - animated. These live-action remakes are nothing short of lifeless and that's all they'll ever be.

I can’t believe we live in a society where a fucking low-budget CW show can do the source material more justice (albeit not in a huge way) than the iteration of the company that produced the original movie.

Man that CGI cave looks awful. Similarly that Prince Ali parade is unbelievably unimpressive compared to the original.

I dread the day when Disney decides to package their live-action "reboots" with the animated movies (including sequels like currently) to make a little extra money.

Imagine you're a hard-working animator that busted their ass off to get to Disney--basically the opposite of a Dobson. You get signed on to animate for one of their prime animated features and you know that although it will be a lot of work, you're making history here for both the world of animation and the company as a whole. You spend x plus months performing grueling work animating the same frames and characters over and over and over until finally you have a finished product. This is the accumulation of all your talent, hard work, and creativity. This is your baby.
And then barely over 20 years later the same company that eventually fired you because 2D was too much work decides to make the same movie but with 90% less effort.

Yes, they did. They also did one for the Incredibles where the underminer was the main antagonist, but that didn't stop them from making a completely unrelated film later on. The thing in the spoilered reply to the other quote is from the Nightmare before Christmas sequel game, which was actually a pretty solid and high effort game. They got back about as much of the original cast as they could for the voice work, with Jack's talking voice now being his singing voice, instead of the similar sounding danny elfman doing the singing bits. It's worth checking out if you got the time for it.
Worst part of all of this is those video game sequels will definitely be more coherent then whatever Disney will pump out in their current state.
