I imagine that pushing back the Rise of the Resistance ride they hyped up so much over six months past the opening of the rest of the land really doesn't help a lot. I've also heard that Disneyland is unusually quiet this summer so that's going to be a major factor as well. I'm guessing that people anticipated massive crowds for Galaxy's Edge and decided it'd be a bad time to go, while the fans are just plain uninterested (the old fans because they feel spurned, the new "fans" because they never actually gave a shit outside of using it for pushing politics).


I forgot this existed. Yes, as someone who was a kid in the 90's, the TV series was a much better prequel that fit in with the movie much, much better.

As a former annual passholder I guess its not too unusual to see crowds be a bit thin right now as its blackout season, hell a few years ago I went (before I jumped on the passholder wagon) on the 3rd of July. Most rides were practically walk ons. But the thing is that was back in 2013-2014, as far as I remember there was nothing as major as opening a new land going on at the time. Hell, the last time Disneyland opened a land it was 95 (?) when Toontown opened. Shit, fucking Toontown has more things to do than GE as watered down as its become over the years.

You know it was about a decade ago her husband, Wayne Allwine, died. He was the Mickey to her Minnie, and now she's gone where he's gone...

In any case, it's a real loss for voice acting to lose one of its great veterans.

I think the first time I heard her voice, she was playing this character....

Honestly live action Cinderella was the best out of all of them despite confirmed thot and possible bisexual Richard Madden looking creepy because they seem to have CGI'd his eyes
Cate Blanchett serving up Joan Crawford looks.
Holliday Grainger should have been Cinderella. Tbh she needs to do another thing with Francois Arnaud

Also Cinderella dress wasn't shit like Belle

The Cinderella remake, while completely pointless, didn't make me miserable while watching it. At the bare minimum, the setpieces and the costumes were great. The movie looked very vibrant and fairy tale-like, too.

And Cinderella's dress truly is magical to look at. So pretty.

The only remake that Disney has done that I genuinely liked (actually loved) was the Christopher Robin movie that came out last year ... And that technically wasn't a remake. It was made by the same "studio" and "creative minds" as all of these shitty remakes though, so I would say that counts.

The Christopher Robin movie was a really classy movie, I think. It succeeded at doing a balancing act of giving something for both the kids and the adults, and it did so without insulting anybody's intelligence.

I wouldn't doubt animators who had worked on those originals may all feel mutually sick by having their work upstaged by these remakes.

That's why I'm thinking Chris Sanders may be really pissed to hear about the Lilo & Stitch live-action remake coming down the pipeline because that was his, but Disney wrenched the rights out of his hands. Also they're not on good terms (even if it was just through Lasseter), and I don't think he even has a contract with them in any way, shape or form anymore so they might not even ask him to voice Stitch for it.

And that is sad. Sanders's L&S was perfect the first time around and represents the vision he had of the characters and setting.
 
I'm actually really curious what they'll do with L&S. It's so clearly a more personal project than anything Disney has made before or since and seeing it go through dozens of rewrites and corporate lawyers to ensure upmost wokeness and yas kween slaying will be, at the very least, interesting.

Define “upstaged”, I guess. Sure Disney is pushing them as hard as possible, but 10 years from now most people will forget these things even existed while the originals will still be loved and remembered as timeless classics.

We hope. Does anyone remember the live action 101 Dalmatians? And does anyone who can consider it superior to the animated film? In 20 years perhaps these will meet the same fate.

Honestly, the 101 Dalmatians live-action film wasn't terrible (but 102 Dalmatians was), it at least had character and soul in it and I think they were more-or-less trying to stick as close to the book as possible than just doing a shot-for-shot remake of the animated film. The animated film itself is considered a classic, but that's really only because of Cruella de Vil and it has talking dogs, it's otherwise an okay film at best for being cheaply-made. Glenn Close as Cruella was an amusing cast choice, and yeah, the CGI dogs are lulzy and it otherwise plays out like your average hokey British film, but I wouldn't trade the film for the world. It at least didn't try and pretend it was superior to the animated film, it co-exists alongside it.

And in terms of The Jungle Book, the 2016 film was like Disney's third-or-so attempt at it, they had that much darker, non-talking animals version from 1994 that they've attempted to memory-hole.
 
So now that Disney owns Fox, they’ll be making more Planet of the Apes films sometime in the future:


Now when it comes to Disney, I’m generally ambivalent towards what they’ve done with Marvel, Star Wars, and their live-action remakes, but if they fuck up Planet of the Apes...

Heads. Will. Fucking. Roll.
