This actually looks good tho. The problem was it that disney had OBVIOUS DISDAIN for their original works and were "fixing" them😂. Y'all are the SAME twitter people...just on the haterade side💀
@@no.1spidey-fan182 no it looks shit. It's a shot for shor remake of a film that already exists only done in an inferior medium. Hell the film isn't even good as a live action remake. If they wanted to make it into live action they needed to change Toothless into an actual photorealistic dragon instead of keeping his babyish cartoon design. But no that would require actually creating something new instead of copy pasting something they already did beat for beat like a decade ago.
@blakea.wittenberg5685 Ah yes because people just LOOOOVED when Disney did that in the Lion King remake where they made the animals photorealistic...swear to God, its damned if you do and damned if you don't...just can't please you people💀 Someone literally made a fan edit of the Lion King live action and gave the characters their cartoonish proportions...comment secrion loved it🤣 And its "shot for shot"...so? It if aint broke don't fix it🤣. They learnes from Disney's mistakes. When disney made all those changes every single time y'all had nothing but salt for them which actuslly made sense. Now y'all just want to complain for things not worth complaining about. Life must be good if THIS is what gets to you💀 This is legitimately the ONLY franchise Dreamworks even has that can be work in a live action. "Inferior medium" you act like How to Teain your Dragon broke the animation mold or something like Spiderverse and Toy Story and Incredibles back in the dsy...it DIDN'T. When you think of GOOD artstyles...HTTYD is NOT the FIRST, SECOMD or THIRD thing on your mind😂
My aunt saw the CGI Lion King and talked about how good it was and asked if I saw it. I said no, I saw the original which I heard was better so there was no reason for me to see it. She continued to say how this one was better because its so lifelike. I asked if she saw teh original and she said with derision" No, thats a cartoon". There is still a bias against animation. That the subject matter cant be as serious as something "live action".
@wesmcinerny4524 Cute that you think anyone will hate watch this when the reaction to the trailer is an overwhelmingly positive one. No, people will see it. They WILL like it, and we'll get more live action remakes.
@omegaman2846 But it's live action. Now you don't have to feel guilty for watching it as an adult. It's funny how in this year I've learned why adults are miserable as I worked a 20 hour job while living from paycheck to paycheck in a boarding home because I couldn't afford to rent an apartment. I'm tempted to think misery is meant to be the base state of adults to keep them compliant to a stagnant society. Hence why we get remakes and dismissal of new ideas or creativity.
🤣🤣🤣brooooo I was legit starting to wonder if something was wrong with me, because I feel like I'm in a room full of people cheering, while I'm the only one not getting what there is to cheer about. As I've said repeatedly.... The last movie to the series came out only 5 years ago..... Are we actually serious?
At the very best, all they will be able to do is make it "almost" as good as the original. As long as it's not "awful" it will probably make a crap ton of money (a lot of people like my kids would probably willingly take their kids to see it - even though it would be a lot cheaper to just borrow my blu-ray of the original and watch that).
The question is would it really kill you to have a favorite movie that is available to watch in 2 mediums? It feels like unnecessary hate and rejection if you're eating good as a HTTYD fan. The director of the film even said the trailer was purposely adapting 1-1 shots but the actual film will be something new and darker than the original.
@gamewriteeye769 I don't care for darker. The books weren't darker. It's diverging even further from the source material on greater scope that the original. Why are you making a grim dark adaptation for a series written primarily for 10 year olds in the first place? I have no interest in this project at all.
But have you noticed, Disney has been losing money on their remakes since “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Lion King”. The fad wore out its welcome over five years ago.
I really hate the way Hollywood treats animation and video games. They’ll really look so one of the greatest trilogies of all time (HTTYD) and go, “that’s cool. BUT WAIT TILL YOU SEE OURS”. And it’s sad how people lose their minds over shot for shot stuff that doesn’t even look that impressive, man. I’m glad I’m not the only one who saw the reactions and was like “god, you’re all kinda idiots”. I always say we’re the reason Hollywood is the way it is. Not Hollywood itself. It’s our fault. 😂😂😂 EDIT: BRUH I’M SO GLAD YOU MENTIONED THAT CHILDREN ARE BASICALLY GROWING UP WITH NOTHING ORIGINAL. We had Spy Kids, The Incredibles, High School Musical, Catch That Kid, Bridge To Terabithia, Narnia, etc. They’ll really have nothing new and classic. It’s so sad, dude.
This video was quite cathartic, it's sometimes hard to not feel like a cynical buzzkill when everyone around you is cheering and you just ask yourself "What the F is wrong with you people?" 😂
@FilmnerdTV, they could make a song titled “Only the Strong can Belong”, and “Becoming the Hard Way” and “Hail Barbaria”. But that would require being closer to the books
Nostalgia is a powerful tool. Unfortunately we have now become the boomers who can't let go of their youth. Nostalgia is good and fun, but it has gotten completely out of control and there is nothing for the new generation. Also its official, Hollywood and the internet have caused Jester's brain to crack! She'll be in Arkham Asylum in a straight jacket screaming "IT’S THE SAME THING!" and "WHY ARE YOU CLAPPING!" in no time!
Dang dude, you have a point. We accuse older generations of trying to relive their youth again, yet we are desperate not to leave it at all. We need to let go. We need something new. The actual children of today need something new.
@@sammysstopmotionoas2004 Nothing for this new generation? I disagree. My friend's kids are currently having a dope childhood with alot of new animes, mangas, webtoons & K-dramas.
I'll never understand why people want live actions, specially ones that are just a copy of an animated project. I had someone in all seriousness say that's interesting to see how the story will look with real actors and was like "No. Why would it when it already works perfectly in animation?" And some defend this by saying that they never got to experience the movies in theatre, but now they can... 😐
I don't mind remakes & reboots. If it's good, I'll enjoy it. If it's bad, I'll just move on. As an anime fan, I love the live action Rurouni Kenshin films.
I don’t mind live action movies my biggest debate is, is it better than the cartoon probably not but I know the cartoon lion King is better than the live action one then again we have Mufasa coming out but I never watched the animated how to train your Dragon I think I watched it once when it first came out and that was it.
I think a lot of people like to see the contrasts. People like exploring the protagonists relationship in all the versions of "Mo Dao Zu Shi" as well as their special song.
@@cynicalperson161not even given blonde hair even though I’ve seen people say she’s naturally blonde 😂 at some point you have to wonder if the people making this are just having a laugh.
The thing that actually makes me furious about all of this is that it feeds into and strengthens western culture's bias against animation as an art form. Animation is still largely seen as "lesser" than live-action. I've known people who have to be all but pressured into watching an animated movie--even if they think the plot sounds interesting! And even when they do end up enjoying a good animated movie (such as HTTYD), there's that underlying sentiment of "Well, it was ALMOST perfect, except for the fact that it wasn't live-action (or hyper-realistic uncanny valley CGI pretending to be live-action)." And this ticks me off more than just about anything in the world because it's basically the same thing as looking at a beautiful painting and going "Well, this is good, but it'd be better if it was a photograph." Animation is not the cheaper, easier alternative to live-action. It's actually much more expensive and time-consuming. The artists who love this medium and choose to tell stories with it deserve to be respected and held in the same (or heck, even HIGHER) regard as the greatest live-action filmmakers.
It didn’t need a film adaptation, which barely scratched the surface of the books, so it would just make you wonder, why tie it to the books in the first place?
This reminds me of how Marvel and DC have these little reference points just to go "here! are you pacified now nerds?" Then gets back to being inaccurate or lame. Usually signified by having the characters tear down the costume or mention how outdated/too much is it. Some of them not even putting them on but relegate it to the background as a stationary prop.
What's worse is the new norm No Way Home set up, where it used to be those easter eggs/references were not easily noticed by general audiences, they were there for hardcore nerds to nerd out over, examples I can think of are in the first Iron Man Tony's Mark III started out gold on the monitor, then he told J.A.R.V.I.S. to throw a little hot rod red in there, and if you know the comics, you know that the Mark I was gray, the Mark II was gold, and then the Mark III had the traditional Iron Man color scheme, another good example is the use of The Lonely Man from the 70's The Incredible Hulk series with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno being used in a scene in The Incredible Hulk film with Ed Norton, and it's used to convey the emotions that the tragedy of Bruce's life should have, but with No Way Home's success, now Hollywood thinks, "Oh if I just quote the stuff from the past or recreate shots from the past that's instant cash"
What's worse is that this is a shot-for-shot live action remake of the original 2010 animated film. I rather just watch the original instead of the remake.
THANK YOU!!! I've been screaming the same thing! I'm beyond annoyed that it takes this little for people to be pleased. Nobody will ever convince me this remake was remotely necessary.
I think what's worth getting worked up about is the millions/billions of dollars being spent on all this B grade slop when that money could be spent on anything else.
Watch it get nominated for awards that Hollywood would never give the original a chance for because "animation is for kids" and "just something you chuck on to keep the kids quiet"...
NOT YOU TOO DREAMWORKS I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THAN THIS isnt their whole company built on making fun of disney anyway btw thanks for giving me the vent ive been holding in
I watched the trailer here on YT and when I scrolled down to the comment section this was the first thing I saw: "An animated version of this would be so cool." I agree. No one needs this "live action" version.
You don’t know how pissed I was when I was trying to look up a reaction to the trailer that did not like it like myself but every trailer reaction was just everyone being happy and I thought I was going crazy 😂😂😂
I literally called out this movie, and all of a sudden some rando on Facebook accused me of being a pedo, just because I made fun of his precious live action remake. This is a cult at this point.
The irony that this is likely projection.😂 Wood Chippers really need to be funded by our taxes and given to every single person. The problem will eventually be solved.
THANK YOU!!! I honestly thought i was going crazy with how many people were so excited. When i saw the trailer, i screamed 'NOOOO!' so loud. I wanted to throw my phone. I dont want this, i don't need this.
You know this video was going to be good with that title. And if people have learned nothing after the Disney Live Action remakes by now, then this title is deserved PS damn and people thought Jeater got mad with what hollywood does with Harley Quinn, but this might have cracked her.
Bless you for your good old fashioned COMMON SENSE!!! Yes! And I absolutely agree with you! The clapping seals thing almost had me falling off my chair laughing. 😂 Okay...we can both go take a rest now. 😂😂🤣
7:35, true. And it wasn’t a close adaptation at all. Speaking as a fan of the books, if the new movies were truer to the text adaptations of them then I would be all for it. That’s not what the trailer advertises at all. It offers a recreation of the 2010 film
Yeah I saw this trailer and I swear most comments were like wow looks good! And I'm over here like "WTF people this looks dumb as fk and not NEEDED!!!"
I lost when you yelled out "It's the same SHOT!" Like good lord! I've never seen you blow up like this. Not only that, I had to do a double take cause it almost sounds like you said "shit". That's how surprised I was listening to you yell. Back on topic, I didn't know there was a live action HtTYD trailer till I saw videos of people showing Toothless in live action CGI and I said to myself "Wait. This is live action? He looks the same only with a little more detail." And that's it.
Yeah, I had the same reaction. Read the comments below the official trailer on YT and everyone was like "Wow, this looks so cool" "Hype" "Great to have Gerald Butler back as Stoic". I have three possible explenations: -Bunch of twenty somethings. Most of them say they saw this film as a kid, so perhaps they have not been burned yet with life action remakes as we older ones have. -The trailer included interviews iwth the director and staff and apparently its mostly the same creative team, including the same director, and in the interview, he talks very passionatly about how he wants to make this movie. So my guess is that many believe him and that this one will actuall be good. -Its not Disney, and apparently Disney is the only company that can hoark up life - action remakes.
Yeah, all these films as a kid and love them. And I would also do chronological timeline from all the TV shows and Netflix shows to prepare for the third movie. It was fantastic. But I’m hype for this live action remake, especially since the original creator still involved and some people from the animated movie reprise their role
Universal has done some live action remakes in the past. They did a couple of live action films of "The Flintstones" and one of "How The Grinch Stole Christmas."
I feel you, girl! I'm so done with this shiz too! I mean, who care anymore and they also race swap characters every single time to score diversity points which is also annoying. I wouldn't mind as much if they didn't do it every single time!
That is not how I reacted at all, i was disappointed and disheartened... it's not how it's the same that makes me angry, it's how it's different. They need to make new things, not remake old things.
How to Train Your Dragon is very nearly a perfect movie. At best, at the very absolute best, if absolutely everything from the acting to the directing to the music works PERFECTLY, the BEST you can do is _equal_ it. You literally CAN'T do better than the original (by definition - it's a _perfect_ movie). So, you're most likely going to make a movie that isn't as good. And, even if you do equal the REAL movie, it will always only be a derivative copy of the original. But, as you mention, the point of this movie is feed people member berries and to be a ($250 million commercial) for Universal Studios HTTYD ride. And, to that end, it will probably be quite successful.
This movie is perfect. Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of my favorite animated movies to be translated into Live Action in this exact way, as faithful as it can possibly be. Look at it this way - why people love fanarts? Because they allow to look at something you're familiar with through a new style. Live Action is just that - I WANT to see the same movie done in a different style, instead of rewatching the original for a hundred time!
I think their going to make changes to the plot that make it worse like how The Little Mermaid remake had Ursula add a stipulation that Ariel would forget that she needs to kiss Eric anytime someone tried to remind her
I love that when i asked people that are excited for this what exactly they were excited for not one person responded me, literally nothing but a buch of clapping seals
I am scavanging Netflix for 90's Japanese anime just to get a hit of that story and plot. I don't even LIKE anime. But they are written by people who actually give a fooooooook when telling a story. I'm ready to cry when I'm watching an anime series and I see some tiddly amount of character development. I am rubbing a nipple with titillation over supporting characters having their backstories told, having character flaws and quirks. I end up walking away satisfied. That's the point of entertainment. I exaggerate. Sure. But Hollywood lacks the passion that it once had for a good story... for a new setting, new characters... it's just sad corporate gobblety-guck.
People will pay to watch a movie they've already watched. Probably already own it on DVD or at least can access it on streaming. I don't get it. Waste of money.
A lot of people seriously live by the mentality of "new thing = good". Doesn't matter how unecessary it is or how complete a narrative was. However, even they innately understand that a great work is a great work and requires no alteration. Therefore, we have this. The shiny glittering promise of "next product", but ALSO the comforting and respectful promise of exactly what they already know and love. They could announce a claymation version next and they would still be this excited for it.
They should start making live actions of the movies that bombed like Atlantis and Treasure Planet. Movies that deserve a resurgence via a different format of storytelling. Movies like Lilo & Stitch and HTTYD are just going to damage the originals reputation for a short term gain.
Except, Disney only earned tones of money off the “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Lion King” remakes. While, the only good remake is “Cinderella”, and maybe “The Jungle Book”.
They can feed us the exact same thing with a fresh coat of CGI, bland acting, and gray colors because our OH SO PRECIOUS NOSTALGIA fills in the blanks. And we will not remember it existed it in a month. Happened with the Lion King, and it will happen again with this one.

"Don't ask questions. Just consume product and then get excited for next product" 🤣

THANK YOU!!! I've been screaming the same thing! I'm beyond annoyed that it takes this little for people to be pleased. Nobody will ever convince me this remake was remotely necessary.
I genuinely thought it was a fan trailer because it was a shot-per-shot remake.
Don't get all worked up, most people on the Internet are NPCs, nothing new.
I think what's worth getting worked up about is the millions/billions of dollars being spent on all this B grade slop when that money could be spent on anything else.
Watch it get nominated for awards that Hollywood would never give the original a chance for because "animation is for kids" and "just something you chuck on to keep the kids quiet"...
The director managed to copy the frames of his own film, can you imagine 😂
NOT YOU TOO DREAMWORKS I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THAN THIS
isnt their whole company built on making fun of disney anyway
btw thanks for giving me the vent ive been holding in
That image was due to Katzenberg leaving Disney before founding DreamWorks, and now he sold it to Universal.
Finally my exact thinking. They changed nothing but made it worse.
I HATE THIS SO MUCH WHY ARE THEY HAPPY IT WILL NEVER END
I watched the trailer here on YT and when I scrolled down to the comment section this was the first thing I saw:
"An animated version of this would be so cool."
I agree. No one needs this "live action" version.
At least ATLA is 20 years...in 2025.
You don’t know how pissed I was when I was trying to look up a reaction to the trailer that did not like it like myself but every trailer reaction was just everyone being happy and I thought I was going crazy 😂😂😂
Most people that texted instead were clowning it.
I literally called out this movie, and all of a sudden some rando on Facebook accused me of being a pedo, just because I made fun of his precious live action remake. This is a cult at this point.
The irony that this is likely projection.😂
Wood Chippers really need to be funded by our taxes and given to every single person. The problem will eventually be solved.
@@seaweeb2258 Amen to that!
That was a opening 😂 glad to see jest in top form
I love to see the break down 🤣 sums up the past decade or so.
Worst part is there's multiple of those films so they could end remaking all of them in live action. 🙄
This has the same energy as Ren smashing his head repeatedly with a hammer while listening to Happy Happy Joy Joy.
They really took the model from the cartoon and gave it a texture pack 😂
50s in and I'm so here for this energy 😂
THANK YOU!!!
I honestly thought i was going crazy with how many people were so excited.
When i saw the trailer, i screamed 'NOOOO!' so loud. I wanted to throw my phone.
I dont want this, i don't need this.
You know this video was going to be good with that title.
And if people have learned nothing after the Disney Live Action remakes by now, then this title is deserved
PS damn and people thought Jeater got mad with what hollywood does with Harley Quinn, but this might have cracked her.
Nostalgia makes people stupid
Bless you for your good old fashioned COMMON SENSE!!! Yes! And I absolutely agree with you! The clapping seals thing almost had me falling off my chair laughing. 😂 Okay...we can both go take a rest now. 😂😂🤣
7:35, true. And it wasn’t a close adaptation at all. Speaking as a fan of the books, if the new movies were truer to the text adaptations of them then I would be all for it. That’s not what the trailer advertises at all. It offers a recreation of the 2010 film
Finally a fan of the books! I wholeheartedly agree!
The Desolation Of Smaug is cool.
Yeah I saw this trailer and I swear most comments were like wow looks good! And I'm over here like "WTF people this looks dumb as fk and not NEEDED!!!"
I thought it looked nearly as bad as the “Snow White” trailer.
When we think society has reached peak stupidity and are walking back from it, they manage to surprise us and get more stupid.
Notice Astrid isn’t shown in it.
We need new material!
That nobody is gonna watch
I'll admit that the dragons CGI does look a lot better than I was expecting but everything else looks HORRID.
And then we wonder why we only get those kind of „Mainstream“ movies/Blockbusters…..
I lost when you yelled out "It's the same SHOT!" Like good lord! I've never seen you blow up like this. Not only that, I had to do a double take cause it almost sounds like you said "shit". That's how surprised I was listening to you yell.
Back on topic, I didn't know there was a live action HtTYD trailer till I saw videos of people showing Toothless in live action CGI and I said to myself "Wait. This is live action? He looks the same only with a little more detail." And that's it.
Yeah, I had the same reaction. Read the comments below the official trailer on YT and everyone was like "Wow, this looks so cool" "Hype" "Great to have Gerald Butler back as Stoic".
I have three possible explenations:
-Bunch of twenty somethings. Most of them say they saw this film as a kid, so perhaps they have not been burned yet with life action remakes as we older ones have.
-The trailer included interviews iwth the director and staff and apparently its mostly the same creative team, including the same director, and in the interview, he talks very passionatly about how he wants to make this movie. So my guess is that many believe him and that this one will actuall be good.
-Its not Disney, and apparently Disney is the only company that can hoark up life - action remakes.
Yeah, all these films as a kid and love them. And I would also do chronological timeline from all the TV shows and Netflix shows to prepare for the third movie. It was fantastic. But I’m hype for this live action remake, especially since the original creator still involved and some people from the animated movie reprise their role
Universal has done some live action remakes in the past. They did a couple of live action films of "The Flintstones" and one of "How The Grinch Stole Christmas."
The opera music was just top tier in the back and when you just froze - like 😂 amazing reaction!
The live action toothless looks exactly like the animated version. Literally there is no reason to make this movie.
It's a generation feeling nostalgia that's never felt nostalgic before.
Live action demake
0:24, and the trailer indicates, it has nothing to do with the original book either
I feel you, girl! I'm so done with this shiz too! I mean, who care anymore and they also race swap characters every single time to score diversity points which is also annoying. I wouldn't mind as much if they didn't do it every single time!
“Doesn’t anyone else notice this?! I feel like I’m taking CRAZY PILLS!”
That is not how I reacted at all, i was disappointed and disheartened... it's not how it's the same that makes me angry, it's how it's different.
They need to make new things, not remake old things.
And this is why we'll never get anything new. Harambe took every new idea with him, RIP
i must not be an internet. hahaha
even my 6 year old cousin is tired of "live action" re-makes
Animated dragon to animated dragon...and they still manage to make him look worse. Why does this movie exist?
I had the same reaction you did, except yours is so much more entertaining because I have the personality of a shoe box.
LMAO Exactly! Videos like this are why I'm subscribed 😊😂
JesterBell gets sees through the b.s.
lol okay you got me at 0;50 second mark laughing.
I really hate how adults don't apreciate animation and then they jump into the Live action remakes just because it's not "animated"
How to Train Your Dragon is very nearly a perfect movie. At best, at the very absolute best, if absolutely everything from the acting to the directing to the music works PERFECTLY, the BEST you can do is _equal_ it. You literally CAN'T do better than the original (by definition - it's a _perfect_ movie). So, you're most likely going to make a movie that isn't as good.
And, even if you do equal the REAL movie, it will always only be a derivative copy of the original.
But, as you mention, the point of this movie is feed people member berries and to be a ($250 million commercial) for Universal Studios HTTYD ride. And, to that end, it will probably be quite successful.
It's basically a shot for shot ... except Astrid ...
Don't waste your time on people who fall for that garbage.
Like, who even wanted this movie? The original animated version of How to Train Your Dragon is already perfect, it doesn't need a remake.
DANG! Jesterbell snapped!
This movie is perfect. Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of my favorite animated movies to be translated into Live Action in this exact way, as faithful as it can possibly be.
Look at it this way - why people love fanarts? Because they allow to look at something you're familiar with through a new style.
Live Action is just that - I WANT to see the same movie done in a different style, instead of rewatching the original for a hundred time!
the irony of you wearing a disney shirt.
Pete's Dragon was also a pretty decent Live Action remake that did something different from the original. It wasn't anything amazing but it was ok.
Jesterbell at the beginning: YOU STUPID FOOLS!!
Me just eating Doritos not having a clue wth is going on: what did I do?
I find it weird they make a movie that was already made but now in live action, why not just make a different story
Why not make the story of Cowell’s books into a movie?
I think their going to make changes to the plot that make it worse like how The Little Mermaid remake had Ursula add a stipulation that Ariel would forget that she needs to kiss Eric anytime someone tried to remind her
You brought a tear to my eye. Thank-you for posting this!
I never begrudge people if they enjoy something even though I often don't understand it.
Careful, people have been called "bigots" for telling the truth.
LMFAOOOO THANK YOU! "you clapping seals!" 💀 i felt like i was the only one thinking this when i saw people cheering and screaming out of joy on X.
I think Cruella was the best remake because it's a prequel with an original story
And I think YOU liked your own comment 😊
I like Cinderella the most.
What about the 1996 version of "101 Dalmatians"?
I love that when i asked people that are excited for this what exactly they were excited for not one person responded me, literally nothing but a buch of clapping seals
I am scavanging Netflix for 90's Japanese anime just to get a hit of that story and plot. I don't even LIKE anime. But they are written by people who actually give a fooooooook when telling a story. I'm ready to cry when I'm watching an anime series and I see some tiddly amount of character development. I am rubbing a nipple with titillation over supporting characters having their backstories told, having character flaws and quirks. I end up walking away satisfied. That's the point of entertainment. I exaggerate. Sure. But Hollywood lacks the passion that it once had for a good story... for a new setting, new characters... it's just sad corporate gobblety-guck.
"LiVE AcTiON!" 😆
Dude, i can‘t wait to see the same movie again.
People will pay to watch a movie they've already watched. Probably already own it on DVD or at least can access it on streaming. I don't get it. Waste of money.
I swear, this is the same movie. It doesn't even need to exist! I don't get the excitement.
A lot of people seriously live by the mentality of "new thing = good". Doesn't matter how unecessary it is or how complete a narrative was.
However, even they innately understand that a great work is a great work and requires no alteration.
Therefore, we have this. The shiny glittering promise of "next product", but ALSO the comforting and respectful promise of exactly what they already know and love.
They could announce a claymation version next and they would still be this excited for it.
Funny enough the director of the “live action” was also involved in directing the animated movie
They should start making live actions of the movies that bombed like Atlantis and Treasure Planet. Movies that deserve a resurgence via a different format of storytelling. Movies like Lilo & Stitch and HTTYD are just going to damage the originals reputation for a short term gain.
Universal sees how Disney is making easy money so 🤑🤑🤑
Except, Disney only earned tones of money off the “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Lion King” remakes. While, the only good remake is “Cinderella”, and maybe “The Jungle Book”.
They can feed us the exact same thing with a fresh coat of CGI, bland acting, and gray colors because our OH SO PRECIOUS NOSTALGIA fills in the blanks. And we will not remember it existed it in a month.
Happened with the Lion King, and it will happen again with this one.
how do live action remakes affect you badly exactly? you hate it then don't watch it and let others enjoy it lmao. it looks really good.
