I think there's one more reason you may have overlooked: animation isn't that respected. Most people just see animated works as a sort of genre aimed at kids instead of a medium.
Its never been respected. When animated movies were nominated for best picture, the academy just made a new animation category, thereby eliminating any animated movie from being nominated for anything other than best animated feature. And most, if not all, mainstream animated movies released in a year are targeted towards kids. And audiences almost always go for Disney or Pixar or Illumination, and never for the more creative but alienating studios like Laika. The few adult animated movies are either based on existing properties, like the Simpsons, or it becomes nothing but sex jokes and swears, Sausage Party, or it's foreign, like Waltz with Bashir. The only places where animation is now starting to get respect are RUclips and the Annie Awards, the Oscars for animation. Someday, an animated feature will get awards not because it's animated, but despite it. That day is not here, but I think soon.
@@IsaacPrinTheNerd Thankfully, animation is gaining more respect as younger generations who grew up with them mostly treat them with respect and see the medium as is. Also, anime has been growing more outside of Japan and helping animation be seen in a different light. It's just a shame that animators are still screwed in the industry as a whole.
@@IsaacPrinTheNerd Your comment is very much not educated in any way, I strongly and respectfully reccomend you do more research into this subject before you makre yourself look more of a fool than you already have.
so true, when Disney makes an original live action movie it fails, like Tomorrowland or A Wrinkle in Time , at least the remakes get people talking about how much they like or not like them so people go and see the movie. There is more speculation about how they will tackle something that already exist rather than something new.
@@patax144 A Wrinkle in Time is a remake though, and isnt Tomorrowland just a movie based on a defunct attraction so it was just another attempt to pull a Pirates of the Caribbean
Sonic The hedgehog I agree. It’s like Disney live action remakes and any live action remake of a cartoon own his soul. He even prefers the last air bender over the cartoon series because he says it’s more grown up for being live action?!
same with Mary Poppins returns and Alice in Wonderland(if they only changed the name for this one people would understand as Doug already said in his review of the movie)
Remember that time someone from had a creative idea for an animated movie, but CG movies were more popular (and thus, safer) so the studio sabotaged it so they would have an excuse to stop financing animated movies? I'm talking about Treasure Planet. That movie deserved better
When the Dumbo remake was still in theaters, I went to see another movie instead. After it was over I was in the bathroom when a heard a little girl a few stalls over tell her mom "I liked the other one better". That gave me faith in humanity again. Whenever I get frustrated at these shit remakes, I just remember that pure soul. I also told the mom while still in my stall "your kid has great taste".
Well while your at it, how about remembering this phrase "OPINIONS EXIST" buuut... then again your a youtube commenter so I guess this verbal rape of others opinions and what counts as humanity are normal for you.
@@genghiskengmail so if he liked the ladder you would have slapped him, abused him, manipulated him into believing the opposite opinion is the only correct opinion like everybody else on the internet cause its turned into a civil war battleground
@ChannelAwesome I think the quote from Pixar's Ratatouille has what you are trying to state but the trouble it has: "But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends." Think it's because of the new things people try, the negative response is more certain.
I love that quote it’s my favourite part of the movie the new needs friends like the new animated movis made entirely by a privet group of animators “hazbin hotel” you gotta check it out it’s incredible.
"I do not like to repeat successes, I like to go on and do other things." - Walt Disney Disney today: "Hold my billions of dollars." It's so sad to see that Disney has now forgotten Walt himself😭
Doug talked about his 2019 Lion King audience crowd seeming brainwashed in his theater and I swear I got the same thing with mine. Like, during the movie, people were on their cellphones, taking bathroom breaks, constantly moving in and out of the cinema in passing interest, but as soon as those credits rolled there was this uproarious applause! And a lady was like, "That was... good!" almost like an automated response instead of a genuine one.
That would have been a lot more fun and fitting. Maleficent was never supposed to be a sympathetic villain, she was pure evil and making her sympathetic really watered down her character. Hades, on the other hand, can be played much better and more convincingly as a sympathetic villain - he's just doing an unsavory job that no one else wants to do but everyone else hates him for it. If they leaned into that aspect of his character, it could have made a much better movie because he'd have a much stronger motivation, especially if we see him struggling with trying to be accepted and liked, only to be crapped on by his peers just because of his role in the Pantheon.
@ Dargonhuman And they could have kept his fast-talking personality and playing it off as "masking pain beneath the veneer or humor" like Deadpool in the Deadpool movies.
A lot of people forget that Disney used to re-release their classic animated films in theaters every so often, which was a big moneymaker and kept all their properties relevant until home video basically killed it. I think these live action remakes are trying to serve that purpose. What Disney could probably do is to theatrically re-release the animated movies, but add in some never before seen deleted footage or new footage like the Star Wars special editions to give people who have already seen these films multiple times an excuse to see them again in the cinema. People would eat this up and there'd be no controversy so long as Disney doesn't pull a George Lucas and make the original versions unavailable.
Otaku Bullfrog I remember they used to do that on special occasions. Example: Fandango rereleased old movies or even marathon Classic Doctor Who episodes due to an anniversary. Nowadays they don’t and I can see why. I mean I get it, I would rather just rewatch the movie I have at home but responses like this are probably why they do remakes. To make people feel like they’re seeing something new.
Oh wow. I hope Disney never pulls the originals. Oh people would be outraged. Pulling also won't work at all. It won't work in this day and age with all the technology especially the internet. It is ridiculously easy to bootleg and pirate movies these days. People will do it, if they are desperate enough. To some extent, I can see where they are coming from. If someone has no way to legally obtain a piece of media in their location, it seems reasonable for them to turn to more shady methods. It should be the media company's fault that they loose out on sales due to poor availability. They should invest in better distribution. The best way around that is for the media company is to provide more legal methods of obtaining their products. Even if there are remakes, the original films should be made available. This is what Disney is doing with the Disney Plus streaming service. Once someone subscribes to Disney Plus, they have access to all of the Disney movies both originals and remakes. That is good. That is a legitimite way to give out the content. However I do think it is unfair that Disney movies can't be viewed on other streaming services like Netflix. To me it seems like capatalism going too far and the government should break streaming services down with anti trust laws. This situations reminds me of World of Warcraft. It is an online game made by Blizzard. This game occasionally gets updated with expansions. There is new content and tweaks to the game play. Unfortunately some people don't like new expansions. There are people desperate enough to play older versions on their own private computer servers and give no financial support to Blizzard. Blizzard doesn't like this. It shut down one site with private servers and an older version. Later it released World of Warcraft Classic. It is an alternative version of World of Warcraft that has no expansions. This version is called Vanilla by the fandom. The classic version runs alongside the updated version. I think releasing World of Warcraft Classic was a good idea. It gives people what they want in a legal and legitimate manner. That way people won't have to resort to shady methods so desperately. Vanilla World of Warcraft is like the origional Disney movies. Just because they are old, it does not mean they are bad or they are not worth attention. Both are great at nostalgia. So these are worth preserving for the future.
Reporter: Hello Disney! Disney: I like money! Reporter: Why do you make live action movies? Disney: *MONEY* Edit: Thank you all for the likes and replies! I will be subbing to all of you.
“If everyone buys one ticket, they make a profit” That’s the thing. Enough people are curious enough to watch it at least once. Add in kids who want to see it (or nostalgic parents dragging their kids to something “safe”) and that’s why it keeps working.
One thing is that people who dislike the whole trope STILL watch it in the cinema. They are curious about them and want to bring out their opinions ASAP. ESPECIALLY if they are are an influencer.
Orange Icecream Pancakes after seeing the Aladdin reviews I wasn’t gonna go but my friend chose the movie on a whim, tbh I wasn’t disappointed. I actually had fun. What I’m saying is people are going because you never know the one you actually end up liking. Obviously I wasn’t the only one who felt that way considering the audience score.
Well jokes on them I haven't seen any of the remakes, since Beauty and the Beast. And you can be damn sure that my future children are not gonna grow up with them.
It seems like there's only four types of movies being released these days: Disney remakes, superhero films, movies about dogs, and a new animated yeti movie annually. A little more variation really would be nice!
Heather LaPlant an animated movie about bats or another undersea movie by Disney (we have the critically acclaimed Nemo series from Pixar, Atlantis, and the Little Mermaid series), a story taking place in Outer Space, a story taking place at a zoo or a museum or a botanical garden or the swimming pool or the park. All could be animated as well. Heck I dare say that they *should* be animated.
@Heather LaPlant ya i guess that's why now Disney/Marvel and their major rival WB/DC been tryin anti-hero/supervillain movies recently...a somewhat fresh spin on comic book movies 😌
@I Like Free Speech It's surprisingly easy, too. Ever since I linked my accounts, now all of my videos just automatically get copied over there when they publish without me having to lift a finger.
philip lagerwall True, very true, the only things I care about are the casting choices and the Hell Fire scene (which I know, it won’t be as good as the original.)
I never understood the nostalgia draw for these live-action remakes. Why watch an inferior version when you can easily watch the (clearly superior) original version, relive your childhood nostalgic moments as they actually happened, and not shell out $13 to a company insulting your intelligence in the process?
They might want to take their kids to watch those movies and go to MOVIE theater(not Home Netflix). Plus kids these days have seen today's higher graphics and visual stunting shows so old movies (even if they were good) would feel bland to them.
@@zuhayrroha4392 So Disney would probably make a lot more money (considering there would be no production cost whatsoever, and marketing would be comparably much less) just re-releasing their original films in theatres. It wouldn't be a first. You'd also not get backlash and you wouldn't see them actively spit on their prior films every chance they get in interviews. Also, modern computer graphics have no bearing on high-level hand-drawn animation. They are completely separate styles, just because kids today grew up with computer graphics doesn't make entirely hand-drawn art look comparatively worse. When they mixed hand-drawn with computer graphics, I could see that becoming dated today, but that was pretty much only with Tarzan and a few, long-panning scenery shots in a couple of other films. The Little Mermaid (for example) wouldn't be affected at all, and almost all the other Renaissance films would still look wonderful. Though, I do see your point about families wanting to go to the theatre instead of watch a movie at home. Fair point .
@@zuhayrroha4392 YES! So few people seem to understand that Disney makes films for children, and the majority of people seeing these films are parents who saw the original sharing the story with their children in a way that a lot of modern children will enjoy. Personally, I do wish they'd make more original and new stories and that plenty of today's kids can still enjoy the classic versions BUT these remakes serve a purpose and make the business money, so why not share the stories with the next batch of movie fans, and in 20 years they'll be discussing how their version is the best and the new new version sucks!
It's because of the other three elements that the NC talked about. They all complete each other. Nostalgia is the biggest reason but it is still incomplete for many people that's why the other 3 are there to persuade everyone else.
Fifth reason: New kids haven't watched the animated versions. They watch the live-action version and then go buy the original. They effectively sell two movies for the price of one. Sixth reason: New movies put Disney and their brand back in the public eye increasing the number of people who see them and think about their products which in turn makes them more likely to buy their products.
Seven reason: To extend their ownership behind old copyrights. By making this easy to make remakes they extend their ownership behind those franchises for some more years.
I actually think your sixth reason is the most important. Disney always slums it for while after their golden periods, and 2019 marks the end of a sort of golden period for Disney with the Marvel films, Star War Films and the last generation of Pixar films all coming to an end this year. Disney is probably already planning for their next big decade in the second half of 2020s, but they need time and money to set that up, so they will rush out easy money making shlock, such as these live-action remakes to build up some easy capital and keep the Disney brand in the public eye. One of the reasons Disney has remained one of the world's most successful and influential media corporations for over 8 decades is because they ensure even in their slumps, they are making money, and are not out of the public eye nor giving their competitors any chances to move into their space.
Eighth reason: Similar to reason number three, some adults mistakingly think animated films equal little kid films, so these films give them an excuse to like a story from an animated film without making them fell like children in the immature sense.
Come to think of it. I've seen a ton of Lion King merchandise in stores recently. Not with the designs from the remake, but the designs from the original. These remakes are making people conscious of those original movies again, and likely making Disney a whole lotta money by making nostalgic properties more relevant than they have been since the original movie.
@@harrisonkrauss6584 I can't stand people who think that just because something is animated it's made for kids, like the people at the Academy Awards who nominate the best animated film even though some of them haven't even seen the films they nominate.
we need to make them do it: every now and then Disney does release a non remake movie but people always ignore those and they fail miserably, the moment one of these non remake movies actually gets some recognition and money Disney will stop making remakes . If you want for Disney to stop making remakes go see Jungle Cruise and Artemis Fowl next year instead of Mulan.
@@patax144 even though it sounds like they are making changes to their Mulan story to better fit Chinese culture, and everyone's throwing a fit about that (don't ever read the original legend then, there was no Mushu in that either).
I love this style of episode so much, when you let your passion for and knowledge of the industry show, and give some interesting highlights of the greater picture behind making movies. One of my favorite episodes as of late, would love to see more like this!
@@ChannelAwesome The videos where you talk about the industry or the culture of movie going as a whole are my favorites as well. This because it allows you to talk about the effect movies have on each other and the mindset of the studio behind them. Great video!
@@ChannelAwesome As someone who has been watching you since [one or two years after] your return, I deeply miss your editorials. It gave us something to think and to analyze and that is one of the things that makes a critic stand out. This was a very gratifying video to watch.
Moana came out 2016 and after that only Wreck-It Ralph 2 has been released, if you only count 3D animated non-Pixar. Two movies, two and a half years. Meanwhile... The Jungle Book, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Beauty and the Beast, Dumbo, Aladdin and The Lion King released. Pixar cancelled Newt and Disney cancelled Gigantic.
ANYWAY, yeah this pisses me off so much. We literally haven't had an original animated film from Disney SINCE Moana in 2016. Three years ago! Ralph 2 sucked balls, and this year we're getting Frozen II, which looks pretty promising so far but I ain't holding my breath. After Frozen II, Disney has not even revealed what their next animated project will be. It could very well be a freakin Zootopia sequel. So we have NO info about Disney's new animated projects, but they'll announce casting for the live action remakes out the wazoo. It's such bullshit. Luckily, Pixar has two original films coming next year. At least they know what they're doing and finally stopped having a sequel-fest. Wish I could say the same for regular Disney.
@@Lauren_210 And we got three original films over last year and this one, but I think it might be too late, as right-wing youtube is still Hyucking it up.
Someone posted a video recently called "Animation is Underapprcieted" That video was in reaction of the Lion King (2019). I feel like we are in this dark age of entertainment, where people just want everything as realistic as possible or just make movies and video games have graphics that look so real. Video games is one thing, but I feel this with Disney and their movies that they want to show that these live action movies makes things feel more immersive, when it simply not true, even 2D animation can make you feel immersive in that setting. You can say that the Lion King (1994) had the least magic out of the Disney movies during that time, but I think the reason why The Lion King was such a gold mine for Disney is because they made a movie with No humans in the vicinity, and they were able to give these animals these quirky personalities and flaws. They manage to make these animals feel relatable, and I think thats the magic of The Lion King. So really this idea of "what would be like in real life" is essentially stripping away that Magic and left with just nothing to really stand on and except boost the appeal of the original
yeah forget Disney still makes good animated movies and original ones even more original than the ones they are remaking , if people supported the kind of Disney they want to see the animated movies the non remake live action movies perhaps Disney will stop making remakes and start making good live actions with the help of fox the same way they started making good animated movies again with the help of pixar
Most sponsor ads I skip, but there are a few RUclipsrs who do a great job with them that make me want to watch, just to see how weird they can make the ads. Nostalgia Critic, Cinemassacre and Ryan George have been killing it with their sponsor ads lately.
1. I, too, thought the Ghostbusters cartoon came first as a child because it was all I knew. Same with Beetlejuice. 2. Tim Burton's Alice is a SEQUEL, not a remake.
For me, there was "Beetlejuice", "Back to the Future", "Dumb and Dumber", and possibly other cartoons that I didn't know were based on movies at the time...
1. The Beetlejuice cartoon is an insult to the movie. They shouldn't exist in the same universe. 2. Sequel or remake it's crap, and its only purpose is to reclaim the copyright on the Alice in Wonderland story. Same with the remakes.
Problem is do I blame Disney or do I blame the people that are paying to go see theses movies? I guess I'll say both. Though to be honest , if Disney continues making remakes, they should remake their least popular films. The Black Cauldron could be a interesting remake because the original was hated so they can make a lot of changes and improvements to the film.
I mostly blame the audience! If people would stop watching them, disney would stop making them. I cannot really blame disney. It makes a lot of money, why should they stop?
As Doug said with ‘Pete’s Dragon’, it’s not as widely recognised of a brand as something like ‘Beauty and the Beast’ or ‘The Lion King’ are. If they remade ‘The Black Cauldron’, not many people would recognise it.
@@stormtraitor6545 True. Yet, they could play another game and market it as a "new movie". They wouldn't fool older audiences but young ones might actually love a dark fantasy movie that would definitely make them feel "grown up". And the Black Cauldron's universe is clearly franchise material.
I agree. I wish they'd remake movies that deserved another shot at the big screen and actually translates well to a live action movie. Might I add Atlantis and Treasure Planet to that list?
@@Revan-eb1wb Yeah, but seriously, people are too stupid.. It's really sad that the majority are dumb enough to think "it was a good movie the first time, why shouldn't it be good the second time"
Also for people who don't respect animated movies especially 2D animated movies and view them as childish and view the live action interpretations as an improvement and more mature.
I like how Wes Anderson is now strongly associated with animation when he only made like two animated films out of his entire filmography...at least, that recognition is justified with how much uniqueness and artistry he brought onto the table exploring the medium.
@Adrijana Radosevic The cost of a movie ticket is just too expensive for me (unless it is a second-run showing; but not all movies get a second-run showing at cheaper movie theatres, so...)!
@@Dilmahkana God I hate that transparent marketing strategy. Every shitty film maker always says "see the movie for yourself before you judge". In lieu of making a convincing trailer, arguably something ANY good film maker should be able to do, they just straight up ask for your money. Assholes.
After seeing the live action Aladdin this past tuesday, That was the first thought that crossed my mind. A live action "Return of Jafar" would be amazing and it could still be done even with the way the movie ended.
@@Rynn21 I doubt that highly. There is no way that killing dogs for fur coats could ever be misunderstood lmao. She's always been depicted as evil. In the original, in the live action remake, and in Once Upon a Time she was even depicted as loving evil and being evil by nature, unlike some of the other villains.
@@TECfan1 Actually Cruella has usually been brought as example of good villain on studies due she is perfect example of overall "decent" person with one fatal flaw. In other aspects Cruella wouldn't be any more evil than that well dressed boheme single aunt who has great career but dry and sarcastic attitude for those who are satisfied for less or just wanna have their nice little families. Annoying but not evil, like Hannibal, he would be one to be called to have nice cup of tea and have indepth chat with. However, there is that proneness toward cannibalism or in Cruella's case the insistance to make em puppies for nice coats. In some societies not even that would raise that many eyebrows except maybe stealing those puppies from yer friend. That said it would be interesting if Disney had balls to go bit more psychological at why overall this little deVil became so fascinated to make especially puppies a part of her wardrobe.
Because the average movie goer is blinded by nostalgia and wants to see their favorite characters again, but they soon realize that the movie sucks, but they keep watching them again and again because they think the next one will be good, but it never is.
Aladdin and the King of the Forty Thieves was a badass sequel, if only Mozenrath (arguably the best villain in Aladdin) was in it, instead that claw guy.
Mozenrath was originally going to be revealed as Aladdin’s brother in King of Thieves, but the idea was scrapped. There was possibility for an Aladdin 4, with Mozenrath as the villain...but Johnathan Brandis the voice actor for Mozenrath died before any work had been done on the story. So no Aladdin 4 after all.
🤔While I like that Aladdin did find his dad, I always wondered how the story would have gone if Aladdin and Mozenrath found out they were brothers. Mozenrath was personality my favorite villain in the Aladdin TV series. It's such a shame we never will due to what happened to Johnathan Brandis. May he rest in peace 😔
Disney could have just as easily rereleased the original animated classics in cinemas, with HD updates and better sound, and they would have made a shit-ton of money. Minimal effort, big returns. Also, you are getting way too good with these paid advertisements. Someone needs to hire you to do an actual commercial for their products.
This was already done for decades, up to the IMAX and 3D reissues of Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King. The remakes make far more money, even when they're not good.
@@GarudaMan9 True, but I definitely would go see the original Cinderella, Dumbo, Sleeping Beauty, Bambi, The Little Mermaid, etc. if they got released in theaters again. I wish they would :(
@@akajulester Heck they could probably do that with the original Star Wars... (And if they really want to double dip with the remakes why not have both the remake and the original in the theater at the same time? (I mean not the exact same time but staggered so after walking out of the remake you could go and watch the original...)
@@britipinojeff True. I saw the 2D animated classic 'Loin King' re-released in theaters not too long ago. It was so spectacular on a massive screen with the surround sound. Damn.. I miss Disney's 2D films
The Mulan trailer actually looks like something that might be new and fresh. Plus,there's not going to be any singing or Mushu so it might be a solid film that has fresh take on the story. It's the only one that I'll pay money to see.
Or you could say: Fans: "Take some risks" Executive: "Here is exactly the movie you watched as a kid, wearing a different skin" Also fans: "OMG! So cute! Here, take a small mountain of money!"
You know what, this is modern Disney in a nutshell: HOW BAAAAD CAN I BE!!! IM JUST GRABBING ALL THE CASH THERE CAN BE!!!! Whats even more ironic is illumination is milking their Banana Tic-Tacks in the same way that Disney is milking live action films
Thank you for acknowledging that Christopher Robin is deserving of viewing, dare I say even owning. Out of all the shitty remakes Disney has spewed out in recent times, that is the only one worth it, IMO.
You're right, but it flopped. It's safe to say that Disney isn't too inclined to try that again. Aladdin did surprise me, but although it was very similar, dialogue and plot points changed. Out of all of the live action remakes, I enjoyed Cinderella and Aladdin the most.
It flopped because it was nightmare fuel. If they had put some fucking effort into the CGI and didnt make all of the stuffed animals terrifyingly uncanny, I assure you it would have been received better.
"Why would they want that stability?" Acquisitions come to mind, Disney has been buying up alot of properties lately with zero risk of being rebroken down, so in turn they are looking for more revenue to off set all of the cost of these buyouts. Sure marvel has more or less paid for itself by now, but marvel is not the only property that they have bought, and unlike marvel not all of the ones they bought out are currently generating as much money as they are costing disney.
Yep; it's more than likely to pay for the buyouts; buyouts that frankly should never have happened but the US is so loose with enforcing its anti-monopoly regulations that they're going to happen unfortunately.
@KenshiImmortalWolf yup disneys subtlety, and slowly trying to be a monopoly. exactly, first marvel studios more than a decade ago, than part of sony they bought, then fox...i swear to God if they ever try to buy WB/DC i will lose ALL respect i have for them 😠
@@car6697 I already have zero respect for Disney; it's the people that somehow still manage to churn out good stories, while working for that wretched company, that I have respect for. I can't imagine it's easy with Disney breathing down your neck and whispering, "But the chart says".
1994 Jungle Book is still my favorite of the Disney Live Action movie remakes. It was more original, entertaining, and has it's own identity and beauty to it
I like both remakes. The 2016 was actually more faithful to the book as well at some points (the Buffalo scene was a nod to Shere Khan’s death in the original book, and the Bander-log were outcasts among the animals like in the book as was the scene with Mowgli and the Red Flower)
Why not make a lesser known Disney movie like the Black Cauldron. Think how cool it could look with today's CGI and special effects. You could even fix a lot of the plot holes in the movie.
Disney actually is planning a remake of Black Cauldron. I'm quite excited for it because I hated the original and this is their chance to turn it into a good movie.
Gary: Meow Me: Gary! Disney is not greedy and they would never make quick cash grabs off our nostalgia "Remakes of Cinderella, The Jungle Book, and Beauty and The Beast" Me: They're just trying to stay afloat so they can focus on new ideas.

Lol Pixar is in the same boat. Look at all the Cars sequels, finding dory, incredibles 2, etc, that all came out decades after the original just to cash in
britipinojeff I don’t see how it’s good when it just reminds me of a swapped version of the first film with Bob staying at home and Helen going out on adventures and adding some new people and situations.
@@unamed2516 I liked the new fights in the sequel. Getting the Incredibles to fight against other supers that had interesting abilities like Void were pretty cool. Bob staying at home with the kids was also pretty funny to me at least with the stuff with Jack Jack being the best part. The only thing wrong with Bob being at Home and Helen going off at least compared to the original is that in the original most of the family members were clearly going through their own internal struggles. With Bob wanting to be a hero again, Helen thinking Bob is cheating on her, and Violet and Dash's inner conflict with being super children. In the sequel it's just Bob being tired and still wanting to be a hero and Violet still having boy troubles.
Yeah. Christopher Robin is really one of the few good ones mostly because it at least tries not to tell the same story over again. It really is more of a sequel than a remake. Some new elements were nice and it was pretty heart wrecking. I guess some of my minor complaints are that the story could be a bit predictable at times, and that I feel some ideas could have been further improved, but I love this movie for what it is. On an unrelated note, in my personal opinion, I feel like winnie the pooh has some of the better Disney sequels.
@@donalds980 I'm not sure he would have much to say about it. Decent movie for kids, based on great series for everyone. If so they should make HISHE episode poking fun from all plot holes (starting with fact that Equestria has military and flying fortress, with whole thing being like invasion of Mexico on USA, not to mention that Twilight is a Dark Lord, what make "Open Your Eyes" ironically edgy). But without deep knowledge about franchise it would be hard to pull off.
The trailers do the opposite of getting me "in the feels" it like seeing a stranger wearing the skin of an old friend. Not in a good way, in a "they skinned him alive and wear him" way. The name can being associated with quality doesn't give them a pass. The average viewer is dumb as bricks. Like these remakes. THEY HAVE TO BE GOOD. PEOPLE SHOULD STIO WATCHING THESE SHITS SO THEY STOP MAKING THEM.
If Nostalgia Critic is right is less about stupidity and more about missing the good old days. I agree with you though, I refuse to watch that atrocity in cinema.

I'm not a fan of these QUICK CASH GRAB SOULLESS MOVIES. But for me I like Christopher Robin and Jon Favreau's The Jungle Boook cause both were new and gave a effort to be good
I don’t think the live-action remake of The Jungle Book is going to fade into obscurity considering the critical acclaim that film got from critics and the amount of money it made.
"No point in writing actual characters anymore, the accomplishments of the original films did that for us already. People are invested in the universe before the movie's even started, we don't have to do anything. Just give us more money and we'll shart another one of these out onto the screen." - Adum/YMS
It's not just Disney, why do some remakes from ANY studio either end up successful or get made at all? I understand it's mostly for money's sake. But the original versions of most iconic movies are...for lack of a better word, sacred to people. Aladdin, Dumbo, Lion King, Robin Hood, King Arthur; all these movies TRY to recapture the same glory of the originals. But instead, they end up messing things up for the sake of audiences who care more about explosions and PC awareness in movies. I don't want to watch a movie about an idiotic Robin Hood who travels with a black Little John who doesn't even match his namesake. I want to see a film depicting a swash-buckling, cunning and playful Robin, a Little John who's as big as an ox with a beard as blond as a summer cornfield, a devout Friar Tuck who would happily lop your head off with his sword, if you touch his mutton and a Maid Marian who's as sweet as she is beautiful. I don't want to watch a version of Aladdin where the Sultan is a stone-faced leader. I loved him better when he was a child at heart. I don't want to see roided out Ninja Turtles fighting Shredder in a mech suit. I want to see the turtles actually LOOK like ninjas; sleek, agile and above all, skilled martial artists. But nope...the movie industry thinks kids are too dumb for that stuff. So, they gotta adapt the movies based on what's "hip" and "trendy." All I know is...if they do this kind of thing with The Breakfast Club or The Princess Bride, HEADS WILL ROLL
Molly Ringwald is basically a literal Hypocrisy spewer. At one point, she says "The breakfast club doesn't need a remake. It is good as it is. If they do one, they would change a few characters with black or another gender. We don't need that." Later, she stars in Jem and the holograms remake, which was horryfying. She said in an interview that it is empowering. No it is not. It's idiotic and manipulative to fans. She is basically a fu**ing hypocritical character in real life.
They could have just released all their animated films again in theaters. And they still would have made a ton of money only difference would be that kids would be watching good movies.
@@AndreNitroX they need to be making something with their live action division because when they try original movies there they fail for the most part, the only way they will stop making remakes is too support the ocasional non remake movie they make like Jungle Cruise and Artemis Fowl next year, if Disney sees that the public is stating to enjoy those movies better than the remakes they will stop and focus on that instead .
A great thoughtful commentary. It's easy to get irritated and even pissed off with some of these latest installments of remakes but like you said, they will most certainly fade in time while the originals remain. That makes me kinda happy.
Barbie did a 12 dancing princesses movie. As a kid I really enjoyed it. Disney could do that. Disney princesses is a big money making franchise. Frozen has two princesses, and that is another big franchise. Both are financially lucrative, and they have huge fan bases. Personally I am a big fan. Imagine what it would be like if Disney made an awesome movie with twelve princesses. People would go nuts. It has the potential to be big. Speaking of Barbie, she does have a Rupunzel movie. It had a creative spin of making the Rupunzel character into a painter. This is an old movie. Tangled came out later. It also depits Rupunzel as a painter. I wonder if Disney got the idea from the Barbie movie.
With the exception of Maleficent (which I did not like), I never saw any of them ether. But it's funny how people are complaining about them online, and yet it's not stopping people from watching them.
I sometimes forget that the original fairy tales of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Cinderella exist because Disney made them so unique and recognisable.
I always assumed the remakes were the work of Black Willy Wonka, who made them so people would go back to watch the originals and appreciate how great they were.
artemis fowl ... one of my favourite book series ... that disney logo and the teaser trailer fill me with dread and horror. i do not see this going well. D'Arvit
@@bagofgroceries there is currently only a teaser trailer out, and it does not fill me with hope. hell, it should make me exited to see the movie, but it gives me glimpses into someone being told "make this into a movie" and not someone going "i love this and want to make this into a movie". this is just moneymaking. they dont have to be inventive or creative, they just have to adapt it a little to make a mediocre movie with less cost than an original one would cost, meaning even if it fails they still make money. i would love it if im wrong and the movie turns out great, but can you honestly say that you belive we will get a movie that is even just as good as the book? im not expecting lotr, but can we at least not have more avatar, percy jackson or death note level failures?
Disney: *makes childrens movies* Also Disney: *refuses to let a father put a picture of Spider-Man on his four-year-old son’s gravestone, "in order to preserve the character’s **_innocence_** ".*
I personally went to the new Lion King movie because I wanted to see how they would handle telling the story I already new and love through a new medium. While I knew that it was not going to be as good as the original I was not looking for it to be. To me the problem is simply that there too many of them coming out at the same time. If Disney were to release them further apart I feel people would be less annoyed with them as it would be a better balance of new and old material.

I think there's one more reason you may have overlooked: animation isn't that respected. Most people just see animated works as a sort of genre aimed at kids instead of a medium.
Its never been respected. When animated movies were nominated for best picture, the academy just made a new animation category, thereby eliminating any animated movie from being nominated for anything other than best animated feature. And most, if not all, mainstream animated movies released in a year are targeted towards kids. And audiences almost always go for Disney or Pixar or Illumination, and never for the more creative but alienating studios like Laika. The few adult animated movies are either based on existing properties, like the Simpsons, or it becomes nothing but sex jokes and swears, Sausage Party, or it's foreign, like Waltz with Bashir. The only places where animation is now starting to get respect are RUclips and the Annie Awards, the Oscars for animation. Someday, an animated feature will get awards not because it's animated, but despite it. That day is not here, but I think soon.
@@IsaacPrinTheNerd Thankfully, animation is gaining more respect as younger generations who grew up with them mostly treat them with respect and see the medium as is. Also, anime has been growing more outside of Japan and helping animation be seen in a different light. It's just a shame that animators are still screwed in the industry as a whole.
@@IsaacPrinTheNerd Your comment is very much not educated in any way, I strongly and respectfully reccomend you do more research into this subject before you makre yourself look more of a fool than you already have.
I didn't care much about animated movies when I was a kid. I only started to take them seriously as an adult
And that honestly sucks. There's such fantastic storytelling in these films along with the meaningful messages.
Reason they make money, people like familiar instead of original
so true, when Disney makes an original live action movie it fails, like Tomorrowland or A Wrinkle in Time , at least the remakes get people talking about how much they like or not like them so people go and see the movie. There is more speculation about how they will tackle something that already exist rather than something new.
Even when the familiar was better in every way and you could just rewatch that
@@patax144 A Wrinkle in Time is a remake though, and isnt Tomorrowland just a movie based on a defunct attraction so it was just another attempt to pull a Pirates of the Caribbean
Like "comic" fans getting mad at tom holland and praising tobey for being "comic accurate"

Because of people like my dad who hates cartoons and will say anything live action is better for being “real”
Tell your dad I said he can suck it!! Animation is superior!!!
Oh, you have one of those too? My condolences.
Sonic The hedgehog I agree. It’s like Disney live action remakes and any live action remake of a cartoon own his soul. He even prefers the last air bender over the cartoon series because he says it’s more grown up for being live action?!
@@firenze6478 Give this man either an exorcism or an eviction notice. There are no other options.

I'm going to say Christopher Robin isn't really a Live action remake. More of a sequel.
same with Mary Poppins returns and Alice in Wonderland(if they only changed the name for this one people would understand as Doug already said in his review of the movie)
That and Christopher Robin is a good movie.
XxHeavensXAnglexX not even that. it's more of another separate story in the Pooh series
If this current wave of Disney nostalgia flicks were approached as Christopher Robin was, we wouldn’t be having the argument
and it is a neat concept, Christopher Robin as an adult revisiting his old friends. Taking the Winnie the Pooh franchise in a new direction.

I still think that Maleficent was the wrong villain to give the _Wicked_ treatment. I would have gone with Hades.
Plus, I'm pretty sure James Woods would come in and play him again if asked.
I would've gone with Scar.
That would have been a lot more fun and fitting. Maleficent was never supposed to be a sympathetic villain, she was pure evil and making her sympathetic really watered down her character. Hades, on the other hand, can be played much better and more convincingly as a sympathetic villain - he's just doing an unsavory job that no one else wants to do but everyone else hates him for it. If they leaned into that aspect of his character, it could have made a much better movie because he'd have a much stronger motivation, especially if we see him struggling with trying to be accepted and liked, only to be crapped on by his peers just because of his role in the Pantheon.
I don't see what kind of story you can tell with Hades.

A lot of people forget that Disney used to re-release their classic animated films in theaters every so often, which was a big moneymaker and kept all their properties relevant until home video basically killed it. I think these live action remakes are trying to serve that purpose. What Disney could probably do is to theatrically re-release the animated movies, but add in some never before seen deleted footage or new footage like the Star Wars special editions to give people who have already seen these films multiple times an excuse to see them again in the cinema. People would eat this up and there'd be no controversy so long as Disney doesn't pull a George Lucas and make the original versions unavailable.
They did tho, both original Beauty and the Beast and Lion King were re-released in 3D, but didnt make nearly as much money as remakes
@Reality still that wouldn't make a billion, so they prefer to remake since everyone goes to see that
Otaku Bullfrog I remember they used to do that on special occasions. Example: Fandango rereleased old movies or even marathon Classic Doctor Who episodes due to an anniversary. Nowadays they don’t and I can see why. I mean I get it, I would rather just rewatch the movie I have at home but responses like this are probably why they do remakes. To make people feel like they’re seeing something new.
Oh wow. I hope Disney never pulls the originals. Oh people would be outraged. Pulling also won't work at all. It won't work in this day and age with all the technology especially the internet. It is ridiculously easy to bootleg and pirate movies these days. People will do it, if they are desperate enough. To some extent, I can see where they are coming from. If someone has no way to legally obtain a piece of media in their location, it seems reasonable for them to turn to more shady methods. It should be the media company's fault that they loose out on sales due to poor availability. They should invest in better distribution. The best way around that is for the media company is to provide more legal methods of obtaining their products. Even if there are remakes, the original films should be made available. This is what Disney is doing with the Disney Plus streaming service. Once someone subscribes to Disney Plus, they have access to all of the Disney movies both originals and remakes. That is good. That is a legitimite way to give out the content. However I do think it is unfair that Disney movies can't be viewed on other streaming services like Netflix. To me it seems like capatalism going too far and the government should break streaming services down with anti trust laws. This situations reminds me of World of Warcraft. It is an online game made by Blizzard. This game occasionally gets updated with expansions. There is new content and tweaks to the game play. Unfortunately some people don't like new expansions. There are people desperate enough to play older versions on their own private computer servers and give no financial support to Blizzard. Blizzard doesn't like this. It shut down one site with private servers and an older version. Later it released World of Warcraft Classic. It is an alternative version of World of Warcraft that has no expansions. This version is called Vanilla by the fandom. The classic version runs alongside the updated version. I think releasing World of Warcraft Classic was a good idea. It gives people what they want in a legal and legitimate manner. That way people won't have to resort to shady methods so desperately. Vanilla World of Warcraft is like the origional Disney movies. Just because they are old, it does not mean they are bad or they are not worth attention. Both are great at nostalgia. So these are worth preserving for the future.

“If everyone buys one ticket, they make a profit”
That’s the thing. Enough people are curious enough to watch it at least once. Add in kids who want to see it (or nostalgic parents dragging their kids to something “safe”) and that’s why it keeps working.
Children are always at least 1 ticket more because they have to take their parents with them
One thing is that people who dislike the whole trope STILL watch it in the cinema. They are curious about them and want to bring out their opinions ASAP. ESPECIALLY if they are are an influencer.
Orange Icecream Pancakes after seeing the Aladdin reviews I wasn’t gonna go but my friend chose the movie on a whim, tbh I wasn’t disappointed. I actually had fun.

PikaLink91 You should get more likes.
It seems like there's only four types of movies being released these days: Disney remakes, superhero films, movies about dogs, and a new animated yeti movie annually. A little more variation really would be nice!
Heather LaPlant an animated movie about bats or another undersea movie by Disney (we have the critically acclaimed Nemo series from Pixar, Atlantis, and the Little Mermaid series), a story taking place in Outer Space, a story taking place at a zoo or a museum or a botanical garden or the swimming pool or the park. All could be animated as well. Heck I dare say that they *should* be animated.
@Heather LaPlant ya i guess that's why now Disney/Marvel and their major rival WB/DC been tryin anti-hero/supervillain movies recently...a somewhat fresh spin on comic book movies 😌

@@M0b1us_118 Aww, dangit. Now you made me curious too. This is why the keep making those remakes.
I never understood the nostalgia draw for these live-action remakes. Why watch an inferior version when you can easily watch the (clearly superior) original version, relive your childhood nostalgic moments as they actually happened, and not shell out $13 to a company insulting your intelligence in the process?
They might want to take their kids to watch those movies and go to MOVIE theater(not Home Netflix).
Plus kids these days have seen today's higher graphics and visual stunting shows so old movies (even if they were good) would feel bland to them.
@@zuhayrroha4392 So Disney would probably make a lot more money (considering there would be no production cost whatsoever, and marketing would be comparably much less) just re-releasing their original films in theatres. It wouldn't be a first. You'd also not get backlash and you wouldn't see them actively spit on their prior films every chance they get in interviews. Also, modern computer graphics have no bearing on high-level hand-drawn animation. They are completely separate styles, just because kids today grew up with computer graphics doesn't make entirely hand-drawn art look comparatively worse. When they mixed hand-drawn with computer graphics, I could see that becoming dated today, but that was pretty much only with Tarzan and a few, long-panning scenery shots in a couple of other films. The Little Mermaid (for example) wouldn't be affected at all, and almost all the other Renaissance films would still look wonderful. Though, I do see your point about families wanting to go to the theatre instead of watch a movie at home. Fair point .
@@zuhayrroha4392 YES!
So few people seem to understand that Disney makes films for children, and the majority of people seeing these films are parents who saw the original sharing the story with their children in a way that a lot of modern children will enjoy.
Personally, I do wish they'd make more original and new stories and that plenty of today's kids can still enjoy the classic versions BUT these remakes serve a purpose and make the business money, so why not share the stories with the next batch of movie fans, and in 20 years they'll be discussing how their version is the best and the new new version sucks!
It's because of the other three elements that the NC talked about. They all complete each other. Nostalgia is the biggest reason but it is still incomplete for many people that's why the other 3 are there to persuade everyone else.
Yeah I always thought if you wanna relive nostalgia just watch the originals over again.

Maybe edit out the gratuitous crotch shots. Can't.... unsee 🙈
Fifth reason: New kids haven't watched the animated versions. They watch the live-action version and then go buy the original. They effectively sell two movies for the price of one.
Sixth reason: New movies put Disney and their brand back in the public eye increasing the number of people who see them and think about their products which in turn makes them more likely to buy their products.
Seven reason: To extend their ownership behind old copyrights. By making this easy to make remakes they extend their ownership behind those franchises for some more years.
I actually think your sixth reason is the most important. Disney always slums it for while after their golden periods, and 2019 marks the end of a sort of golden period for Disney with the Marvel films, Star War Films and the last generation of Pixar films all coming to an end this year.
Disney is probably already planning for their next big decade in the second half of 2020s, but they need time and money to set that up, so they will rush out easy money making shlock, such as these live-action remakes to build up some easy capital and keep the Disney brand in the public eye.
One of the reasons Disney has remained one of the world's most successful and influential media corporations for over 8 decades is because they ensure even in their slumps, they are making money, and are not out of the public eye nor giving their competitors any chances to move into their space.
Eighth reason: Similar to reason number three, some adults mistakingly think animated films equal little kid films, so these films give them an excuse to like a story from an animated film without making them fell like children in the immature sense.
Come to think of it. I've seen a ton of Lion King merchandise in stores recently. Not with the designs from the remake, but the designs from the original. These remakes are making people conscious of those original movies again, and likely making Disney a whole lotta money by making nostalgic properties more relevant than they have been since the original movie.
@@harrisonkrauss6584 I can't stand people who think that just because something is animated it's made for kids, like the people at the Academy Awards who nominate the best animated film even though some of them haven't even seen the films they nominate.
Let's face it; nostalgia's becoming a growing cliche. Hope Disney stops with these remake, but we all know that'll be highly unlikely.
So long as they keep making money, they will keep making them.
Nostalgia is a disease and critic is the doctor
we need to make them do it: every now and then Disney does release a non remake movie but people always ignore those and they fail miserably, the moment one of these non remake movies actually gets some recognition and money Disney will stop making remakes . If you want for Disney to stop making remakes go see Jungle Cruise and Artemis Fowl next year instead of Mulan.
They won't stop unless a couple of the movies released in a row are financial flops 😩

Moana came out 2016 and after that only Wreck-It Ralph 2 has been released, if you only count 3D animated non-Pixar.
Two movies, two and a half years.
Meanwhile... The Jungle Book, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Beauty and the Beast, Dumbo, Aladdin and The Lion King released.
Pixar cancelled Newt and Disney cancelled Gigantic.
Giantic is not cancelled moron
@@kellyedwards6429 Unfortunately, it is. Get yo facts straight. I wish it weren't true myself, but that's life for ya.
ANYWAY, yeah this pisses me off so much. We literally haven't had an original animated film from Disney SINCE Moana in 2016. Three years ago! Ralph 2 sucked balls, and this year we're getting Frozen II, which looks pretty promising so far but I ain't holding my breath. After Frozen II, Disney has not even revealed what their next animated project will be. It could very well be a freakin Zootopia sequel. So we have NO info about Disney's new animated projects, but they'll announce casting for the live action remakes out the wazoo. It's such bullshit. Luckily, Pixar has two original films coming next year. At least they know what they're doing and finally stopped having a sequel-fest. Wish I could say the same for regular Disney.
Renee I believe that the next original film Disney is doing is Raya and the Last Dragon, which they announced back at D23. 😁
@@Lauren_210
And we got three original films over last year and this one, but I think it might be too late, as right-wing youtube is still Hyucking it up.
Someone posted a video recently called "Animation is Underapprcieted" That video was in reaction of the Lion King (2019).
I feel like we are in this dark age of entertainment, where people just want everything as realistic as possible or just make movies and video games have graphics that look so real.
Video games is one thing, but I feel this with Disney and their movies that they want to show that these live action movies makes things feel more immersive, when it simply not true, even 2D animation can make you feel immersive in that setting.
You can say that the Lion King (1994) had the least magic out of the Disney movies during that time, but I think the reason why The Lion King was such a gold mine for Disney is because they made a movie with No humans in the vicinity, and they were able to give these animals these quirky personalities and flaws. They manage to make these animals feel relatable, and I think thats the magic of The Lion King. So really this idea of "what would be like in real life" is essentially stripping away that Magic and left with just nothing to really stand on and except boost the appeal of the original
yeah forget Disney still makes good animated movies and original ones even more original than the ones they are remaking , if people supported the kind of Disney they want to see the animated movies the non remake live action movies perhaps Disney will stop making remakes and start making good live actions with the help of fox the same way they started making good animated movies again with the help of pixar

It was too inconsistent to me.

1. I, too, thought the Ghostbusters cartoon came first as a child because it was all I knew. Same with Beetlejuice.
2. Tim Burton's Alice is a SEQUEL, not a remake.
For me, there was "Beetlejuice", "Back to the Future", "Dumb and Dumber", and possibly other cartoons that I didn't know were based on movies at the time...
1. The Beetlejuice cartoon is an insult to the movie. They shouldn't exist in the same universe.
2. Sequel or remake it's crap, and its only purpose is to reclaim the copyright on the Alice in Wonderland story. Same with the remakes.
@powerstar 2028 I've only seen the movie but I'm guessing that it's definitely better.
Jade Jaws Alice in Wonderland is not crap
Elizabeth Why would a sequel of Alice in Wonderland be called Alice in Wonderland? Also Wonderland in the new version is actually Underland.
Problem is do I blame Disney or do I blame the people that are paying to go see theses movies?
I guess I'll say both.
Though to be honest , if Disney continues making remakes, they should remake their least popular films. The Black Cauldron could be a interesting remake because the original was hated so they can make a lot of changes and improvements to the film.
I mostly blame the audience! If people would stop watching them, disney would stop making them. I cannot really blame disney. It makes a lot of money, why should they stop?
As Doug said with ‘Pete’s Dragon’, it’s not as widely recognised of a brand as something like ‘Beauty and the Beast’ or ‘The Lion King’ are. If they remade ‘The Black Cauldron’, not many people would recognise it.
@@stormtraitor6545 True. Yet, they could play another game and market it as a "new movie". They wouldn't fool older audiences but young ones might actually love a dark fantasy movie that would definitely make them feel "grown up". And the Black Cauldron's universe is clearly franchise material.
I agree. I wish they'd remake movies that deserved another shot at the big screen and actually translates well to a live action movie. Might I add Atlantis and Treasure Planet to that list?
@@Revan-eb1wb Yeah, but seriously, people are too stupid.. It's really sad that the majority are dumb enough to think "it was a good movie the first time, why shouldn't it be good the second time"

We remember it and that’s what makes us suckers.
Also for people who don't respect animated movies especially 2D animated movies and view them as childish and view the live action interpretations as an improvement and more mature.
Also they’re doing the ones that gave them the most money back then, so they are attempting to replicate that

It's funny how Disney STILL acts like it's struggling to stay afloat
After seeing the live action Aladdin this past tuesday, That was the first thought that crossed my mind. A live action "Return of Jafar" would be amazing and it could still be done even with the way the movie ended.
Glenn Close deserved an Oscar for her performance of cruella de ville
@@Rynn21 I doubt that highly. There is no way that killing dogs for fur coats could ever be misunderstood lmao. She's always been depicted as evil. In the original, in the live action remake, and in Once Upon a Time she was even depicted as loving evil and being evil by nature, unlike some of the other villains.
She did get a Golden Globe nomination for her performance, fortunately.
@@TECfan1 Actually Cruella has usually been brought as example of good villain on studies due she is perfect example of overall "decent" person with one fatal flaw. In other aspects Cruella wouldn't be any more evil than that well dressed boheme single aunt who has great career but dry and sarcastic attitude for those who are satisfied for less or just wanna have their nice little families. Annoying but not evil, like Hannibal, he would be one to be called to have nice cup of tea and have indepth chat with.
However, there is that proneness toward cannibalism or in Cruella's case the insistance to make em puppies for nice coats. In some societies not even that would raise that many eyebrows except maybe stealing those puppies from yer friend. That said it would be interesting if Disney had balls to go bit more psychological at why overall this little deVil became so fascinated to make especially puppies a part of her wardrobe.
That was over acting not acting
Because the average movie goer is blinded by nostalgia and wants to see their favorite characters again, but they soon realize that the movie sucks, but they keep watching them again and again because they think the next one will be good, but it never is.

Aladdin and the King of the Forty Thieves was a badass sequel, if only Mozenrath (arguably the best villain in Aladdin) was in it, instead that claw guy.
Mozenrath was originally going to be revealed as Aladdin’s brother in King of Thieves, but the idea was scrapped. There was possibility for an Aladdin 4, with Mozenrath as the villain...but Johnathan Brandis the voice actor for Mozenrath died before any work had been done on the story. So no Aladdin 4 after all.
The cat is the best Alladin villain
🤔While I like that Aladdin did find his dad, I always wondered how the story would have gone if Aladdin and Mozenrath found out they were brothers. Mozenrath was personality my favorite villain in the Aladdin TV series. It's such a shame we never will due to what happened to Johnathan Brandis. May he rest in peace 😔
Disney could have just as easily rereleased the original animated classics in cinemas, with HD updates and better sound, and they would have made a shit-ton of money. Minimal effort, big returns.
Also, you are getting way too good with these paid advertisements. Someone needs to hire you to do an actual commercial for their products.
I'm pretty sure they did that with the Lion King. Or like it was Lion King in 3D or something when 3D was really big.
This was already done for decades, up to the IMAX and 3D reissues of Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King. The remakes make far more money, even when they're not good.
@@GarudaMan9 True, but I definitely would go see the original Cinderella, Dumbo, Sleeping Beauty, Bambi, The Little Mermaid, etc. if they got released in theaters again. I wish they would :(
@@akajulester Heck they could probably do that with the original Star Wars... (And if they really want to double dip with the remakes why not have both the remake and the original in the theater at the same time?

I have to agree and this reason is why the only live action movie I saw was Christopher Robin as it was unique and different
the plot reminds me of a mix of Hook. if you watched that movie you would know why.
Thank you for acknowledging that Christopher Robin is deserving of viewing, dare I say even owning. Out of all the shitty remakes Disney has spewed out in recent times, that is the only one worth it, IMO.
@@eagletrigger your welcome
You're right, but it flopped. It's safe to say that Disney isn't too inclined to try that again. Aladdin did surprise me, but although it was very similar, dialogue and plot points changed. Out of all of the live action remakes, I enjoyed Cinderella and Aladdin the most.
It flopped because it was nightmare fuel. If they had put some fucking effort into the CGI and didnt make all of the stuffed animals terrifyingly uncanny, I assure you it would have been received better.
"Why would they want that stability?"
Acquisitions come to mind, Disney has been buying up alot of properties lately with zero risk of being rebroken down, so in turn they are looking for more revenue to off set all of the cost of these buyouts. Sure marvel has more or less paid for itself by now, but marvel is not the only property that they have bought, and unlike marvel not all of the ones they bought out are currently generating as much money as they are costing disney.
Very perceptive!
Yep; it's more than likely to pay for the buyouts; buyouts that frankly should never have happened but the US is so loose with enforcing its anti-monopoly regulations that they're going to happen unfortunately.
@KenshiImmortalWolf yup disneys subtlety, and slowly trying to be a monopoly. exactly, first marvel studios more than a decade ago, than part of sony they bought, then fox...i swear to God if they ever try to buy WB/DC i will lose ALL respect i have for them 😠

1994 Jungle Book is still my favorite of the Disney Live Action movie remakes. It was more original, entertaining, and has it's own identity and beauty to it
I like both remakes. The 2016 was actually more faithful to the book as well at some points (the Buffalo scene was a nod to Shere Khan’s death in the original book, and the Bander-log were outcasts among the animals like in the book as was the scene with Mowgli and the Red Flower)
Mine’s 101 dalmatians
Why not make a lesser known Disney movie like the Black Cauldron. Think how cool it could look with today's CGI and special effects. You could even fix a lot of the plot holes in the movie.

With Bob wanting to be a hero again, Helen thinking Bob is cheating on her, and Violet and Dash's inner conflict with being super children. In the sequel it's just Bob being tired and still wanting to be a hero and Violet still having boy troubles.

Of course these live action ones will fade. No depth to them. The animated features had style, substance, depth, range, magic, and connection.
Amen! The Lion King (2019) I found it forgettable
I don’t think the live-action remake of The Jungle Book is going to fade into obscurity considering the critical acclaim that film got from critics and the amount of money it made.

@Fox Lover to be honest i congratulate you for saying frankly and openly what i was hinting at srsly i couldnt have said it better
Unless they're updating the original or fixing plot holes, then they need to leave it alone. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
But if you break it, you can charge for fixin' it back
Or if it is broken, still don't fix it. The bright silver ducktape patching up the cracks doesn't make it better.
All movies have plot holes if you look hard enough (and trying to fix them tend to make more of them).
The thing is, doing the opposite of what you're saying has made them a lot of money and that's all they care about
They fixed a plot hole in the new lion king movie but the rest of it sucked, so fixing plot holes doesn't work

It's not just Disney, why do some remakes from ANY studio either end up successful or get made at all?
I understand it's mostly for money's sake. But the original versions of most iconic movies are...for lack of a better word, sacred to people. Aladdin, Dumbo, Lion King, Robin Hood, King Arthur; all these movies TRY to recapture the same glory of the originals. But instead, they end up messing things up for the sake of audiences who care more about explosions and PC awareness in movies.
I don't want to watch a movie about an idiotic Robin Hood who travels with a black Little John who doesn't even match his namesake. I want to see a film depicting a swash-buckling, cunning and playful Robin, a Little John who's as big as an ox with a beard as blond as a summer cornfield, a devout Friar Tuck who would happily lop your head off with his sword, if you touch his mutton and a Maid Marian who's as sweet as she is beautiful.
I don't want to watch a version of Aladdin where the Sultan is a stone-faced leader. I loved him better when he was a child at heart.
I don't want to see roided out Ninja Turtles fighting Shredder in a mech suit. I want to see the turtles actually LOOK like ninjas; sleek, agile and above all, skilled martial artists.
But nope...the movie industry thinks kids are too dumb for that stuff. So, they gotta adapt the movies based on what's "hip" and "trendy."
All I know is...if they do this kind of thing with The Breakfast Club or The Princess Bride, HEADS WILL ROLL
Molly Ringwald is basically a literal Hypocrisy spewer.
At one point, she says "The breakfast club doesn't need a remake. It is good as it is. If they do one, they would change a few characters with black or another gender. We don't need that."
Later, she stars in Jem and the holograms remake, which was horryfying. She said in an interview that it is empowering. No it is not. It's idiotic and manipulative to fans.
She is basically a fu**ing hypocritical character in real life.
Always good to see a new vid, nice work boys, drinks on Doug.
Why? Because DISNEY! I never watched these remakes; you can't beat the hand drawn animation of the originals.
Mack Pines EXACTLY. I’ve heard people (Even people that love the remakes) say “The remake is good but the original is better.”
FUCK! They got Lilo and Stitch too...
They could have just released all their animated films again in theaters. And they still would have made a ton of money only difference would be that kids would be watching good movies.
@@AndreNitroX they need to be making something with their live action division because when they try original movies there they fail for the most part, the only way they will stop making remakes is too support the ocasional non remake movie they make like Jungle Cruise and Artemis Fowl next year, if Disney sees that the public is stating to enjoy those movies better than the remakes they will stop and focus on that instead .
To be fair, there were some strengths to the live action Jungle Book movie
A great thoughtful commentary. It's easy to get irritated and even pissed off with some of these latest installments of remakes but like you said, they will most certainly fade in time while the originals remain.
That makes me kinda happy.
Same, just like my memory. They will fade away . . . even though I kinda don't want Aladdin to fade quite yet. I like Will Smith, what can I say. 😅
I would kill to see Disney tackle the Twelve Dancing Princesses, The Goose Girl, Wild Swans or Valissa the Beautiful.
Barbie did a 12 dancing princesses movie. As a kid I really enjoyed it. Disney could do that. Disney princesses is a big money making franchise. Frozen has two princesses, and that is another big franchise. Both are financially lucrative, and they have huge fan bases. Personally I am a big fan. Imagine what it would be like if Disney made an awesome movie with twelve princesses. People would go nuts. It has the potential to be big. Speaking of Barbie, she does have a Rupunzel movie. It had a creative spin of making the Rupunzel character into a painter. This is an old movie. Tangled came out later. It also depits Rupunzel as a painter. I wonder if Disney got the idea from the Barbie movie.
Never went to watch a Disney remake before. No idea why people keep going to them.
With the exception of Maleficent (which I did not like), I never saw any of them ether. But it's funny how people are complaining about them online, and yet it's not stopping people from watching them.
Maybe the chip on the back of your head is defective - I recommend going to a shop to get it looked at...
Because they are good. End of story.
Well, I still like them. And I think that's ok.
Roy Blekman I watch them because I am curious. I won’t see them again after seeing them one time.
with only 3 circles, I dominate the planet.
Clearly there's nobody near me
The thunder god 1223 I’m owing this battle, in fact I own this whole series.
So hop on my steamboat, boys!

The part where it gets really creepy.
I sometimes forget that the original fairy tales of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Cinderella exist because Disney made them so unique and recognisable.
I always assumed the remakes were the work of Black Willy Wonka, who made them so people would go back to watch the originals and appreciate how great they were.
artemis fowl ... one of my favourite book series ... that disney logo and the teaser trailer fill me with dread and horror. i do not see this going well. D'Arvit
I saw that too now I am dreading the worst
Oh yeah I forgot about that
Watch the trailer. Hope is there.
I saw that ( I love Artemis Fowl) and I was filled with dread
@@bagofgroceries there is currently only a teaser trailer out, and it does not fill me with hope. hell, it should make me exited to see the movie, but it gives me glimpses into someone being told "make this into a movie" and not someone going "i love this and want to make this into a movie". this is just moneymaking. they dont have to be inventive or creative, they just have to adapt it a little to make a mediocre movie with less cost than an original one would cost, meaning even if it fails they still make money. i would love it if im wrong and the movie turns out great, but can you honestly say that you belive we will get a movie that is even just as good as the book? im not expecting lotr, but can we at least not have more avatar, percy jackson or death note level failures?
Disney: *makes childrens movies*
Also Disney: *refuses to let a father put a picture of Spider-Man on his four-year-old son’s gravestone, "in order to preserve the character’s **_innocence_** ".*
I personally went to the new Lion King movie because I wanted to see how they would handle telling the story I already new and love through a new medium. While I knew that it was not going to be as good as the original I was not looking for it to be. To me the problem is simply that there too many of them coming out at the same time. If Disney were to release them further apart I feel people would be less annoyed with them as it would be a better balance of new and old material.
Love how great at acting Doug and the others are.
Doug's sponsor stuff is always out there. I love it.
Cherokee C. C. take notes Disney
Hhhhoney
"Live action" Yeah right they are like 90% CGI
To clarify not mine but thought it was funny
