The sad thing about the lIon king remake is that, making the animals expresive was kinda possible. Paddington did almost realistic bear, that was expresive
It gets worse. The Lion King remake had expressive design prototypes that were then scrapped because whoever fucking directed that movie wanted it to be as realistic as possible.
@@ggrarl Rango was a masterpiece and it proved that you can CGI animals to look realistic and still give them expressions. Fun fact: Johnny Depp suggested that he and the actors could move irl and the animators could animate their movements. That’s why the animation looks realistic. Why didn’t Disney use that idea and do the same to the fox and cat from the live action Pinocchio? They even cgied the cat, they didn’t need to CGI a cat when they could’ve used an actual cat trained by a professional.
What I hate is that movies like Treasure Planet and Journey To Atlantis would actually work really well in live action because they feel so reminiscent of Marvel and Star Wars (two properties under Disney). They could give these movies the love that they deserved. Also, they better stay away from The Emperor’s New Groove. So much of the humor in that movie comes from the expressions and physics that you can only achieve with animation. Same with characters such as the Genie from Aladdin, Hades from Hercules, Lumiere from B&TB, etc etc etc. Heck, give us The Black Cauldron or The Sword In The Stone. Those movies could actually work in live action. Instead, they’re destroying beloved films. The Disney creativity well seems to be drying out 🙁
Agreed! I’d really like to see Treasure Planet. Also in regards to the emperors new groove, It’d be interesting to see Kingdom of the Sun (the original idea for the emperors new groove) rather than a straight up remake of it. Unfortunately I’m not sure Disney is capable of making good live action movies anymore
With Disney as it is today. They would no doubt ruin those films. Even if by all accounts, they would be great picks for a live action. Better hope they keep their hands off of them until they relearn how to tell good stories again and not just cash grabs.
Moana isn't even 10 years old! Who is nostalgic for it? I have a theory. Rock asked Disney to make a live-action Moana so he can play Maui because the voice acting wasn't enough. Because Black Adam was a flop and probably other movies he was supposed to appear in are scraped he's desperate to find another role. And Disney wants money so they said yes. Also, remember the ''Rock can't lose a fight on screen in a movie.''? What are they going to do? In the movie, Maui gets beaten quite a bit.
I agree! & tbh I wouldn't even be surprised if your theory's true. & yeah, the movie's not even 10 years old yet! now if Disney wants to do a Tangled remake (but let's just hope that that DOESN'T happen), they could probably get away with it because 1) it's a movie that doesn't really need a lot of CGI & 2) the movie's over 10 years old, so we'll have some nostalgia for that movie. but anyways, yeah I have a bad feeling about this Moana remake
The contract that the rock can’t lose a fight was only for the fast and furious and black adam as far as we know, but I wouldn’t put it past him to use that contract in every movie
It's really weird how Disney is acting like a virus... "Animation's not working any more... Ooo, CGI!... CGI's not working any more... Ooo, Live action!" just slowly killing off perfectly profitable... media for movies...
"Live-action isn't working anymore, what do we do?" "Um. Wild idea. What if we made vibrant, colorful, hand-animated versions of our live action movies?" "Brilliant, Johnson! I could kiss your wife!" "Uh, sir? I identify as a transgendered toaster oven. I don't have a wife." "No one cares, Johnson."
yeah it's pretty weird... like Disney does know they can still make animated movies right? but oh wait, their animated movies were a disaster last year too
Why do people treat animation so poorly? There is nothing like it. When done right, it can be more emotional, beautiful, poignant than anything we see in real life. A Rock smile is fine, but a Maui smile is just on another level. What's wrong with that?
Because of a strange belief that it's "for babies" even though Looney Tunes and the early Mickey Mouse cartoons were not intended for children to begin with. The one thing that's messed up is that Walt Disney intended for his animated films to be for all ages, not just kids. It's a ridiculous thing, especially with how successful anime can be, but it seems Disney and the film industry are saying "la la la, I'm not seeing this! La la la"🙄
@@hikaritakahashi9411 God I hate the “animation is for fetuses” stereotype. Is something like HTF, South Park, Superjail, or ANIMATED H3NTAI instantly made for fertilized eggs just because they’re animations despite the g0re and other not very kid friendly stuff in them?
Im pretty sure its because it dosent make enough money, animation takes years and lots of money to make and its not not enough for Disney who wants more and more, although the live actions are bad, they do it because it still gives them a secure income because they know in the end that the nostalgic people will eat from their hands anyways rather than using a new concept or story
same, it made me pretty happy too. as much as I hate to say this, Disney's just desperate for money & relevancy, to the point where they'll ruin almost everything we love. & I HATE it
It would be super cool if Disney made more films about different traditional stories and stuff from the Polynesian culture, but nooo, they just have to rake in the cash with the remakes
I mean jasmine was some kinda persian but i still didnt get the real persian ppl on screen and this is sad that disney is making the 100 year of the company look awful 😭😭😭
@@rachelyoungdesteny9295 I heard that the actress for Jasmine was Indian. It’s funny how Disney wants to be diverse, yet they cast an Indian person to play a Persian character. She wasn’t the right race, like how Halle Bailey isn’t the right race for Ariel. I don’t really respect her after she said that “Ariel didn’t live up to modern women” when she earlier said that Ariel was her childhood friend. She’s gonna ruin it with her feminist agenda because apparently Ariel is a traditional woman (when she literally rebelled against her father by going to the surface and became human).
atp their movies are just blatant cashgrabs, they dont like making movies about under represented communities bc their bland, generic movies do just as well
I remember watching Moana with my mom for the first time and she said "wow, the water looks so realistic!" but with the live action stuff... it's just water. of course it looks realistic because it's real. there's nothing super mindblowing about it, especially when the story has already been told.
I would've rather Moana 2 than an LA remake. Like, out of all possible Disney sequels, that to me always made the most sense. They're going out to sea! Adventure is out there! Who knows what they'll come across! There's so many possibilities! I'm not thrilled for this, and will just be sticking to the original.
There’s an easy antagonist, too- the people want to go home, failing to understand what they’d left behind and not trusting moana’s leadership. This is from about 15 seconds of thinking about it. And it’d he SO much better than LA
But then Dwayne Johnson wouldn’t get to have his face in the movie, and he can’t have that! Seriously though, that’s the only reason I can think of as to why they wouldn’t just make a Moana sequel
I think that Modern Disney shouldn't be allowed to touch any of the old IP's, animated sequels or live action. They keep churning out train wreck after train wreck.
I want a live action remake, but low budget. The Rock in a tattoo body sleeve and cheap wig, Alan Tudyk holding a chicken puppet, and Jemaine Clement in a crab costume with a bunch of thrift store junk glued to the back. Make it look like an elementary school production and I’m totally on board.
It’s way too soon for Moana to get a live action remake besides I think Disney needs to stop with their live action remakes and leave the originals alone as childhood classics they’re perfect the way they are!
I agree Disney need to stop doing live-action remakes instead they really just need to do great animated films instead of wasting their money on stuff no one wants 😡
i agree. they literally cancelled an animated disney channel show that had good reception JUST to make room for a pointless live action remake which they think will make a quick buck of.
It's coming to the point where Disney has no ideas at all. That's why they're constantly throwing sequels and remakes just to cash grab people instead of coming up with other folklore or princess lore ideas.
I would LOVE to see more Polynesian stories, or African, or Japanese or Chinese or any of the millions upon millions of cool cultural stories in beautiful animation. Screw you Disney, screw your creatively bankrupt corporate heart.
I'd love to see them do a movie based around the Celtic or Nordic cultures and their conquest across Europe, hell even Australia. But knowing Disney, they cock that up as well.
I would absolutely LOVE to see a fantasy movie set in an African country (maybe Nigeria or even South Africa) about an African fairy tribe (Maybe the Zulu tribe!). I would love to see all the details of the jewelry, beads, African print dresses, gorgeous hairstyles and of course, the delicious food! But Disney would never make a movie like that because they are so creatively bankrupt that they just won't do it.
It's definitely a vanity project for The Rock. After Black Adam fell through, he needed something to pull himself up, and Moana was probably his best bet.
Yeah… when I first heard about “live action Moana” I got whiplash. Those words should not be in the same sentence, yet here we are. Mulan was one of top fav Disney movies, I haven’t even watched the live action cuz it actually hurts my soul that it even exists and was done SO poorly. Moana is one of my top favs too so now I’m just terrified. I don’t know what to even expect. The music was incredible, the animation and colors were beautiful, it was all so magical and emotional. Don’t desecrate my child Disney
yeah apparently with the live action mulan they were filming near some torture camp base in china, which is really fucked up because its actually true, they literally filmed near an area where people suffer. im part chinese and i couldn’t even get through a minute of the damn live action because of how boring and stereotypical it was, i regret watching the start of the movie all those months ago🤦🏻 all we could do now is just. dont watch the damn live action moana. ignore every trailer of it disney shoves in our damn face. actually i cant imagine the merchandising for the movie too😭😭💀especially the little mermaid live action childrens book IT LOOKS SO SOULLESS 💀
One of moana’s strengths is how it uses color to help its storytelling (like whenever the manta spirit shows up, the glow in the dark in Shiny, all the vibrant greens) and Disney live actions are so dark colored and feel lifeless and drained
When I watched The Lion King remake, it made me question why I liked that story so much as a kid. I went and watched the original again, still holds up as one of the best. That’s the effect they’ve had on me, and I haven’t watched a single remake since.
They could do anything else than a live action movie. After Disney+ was released I wondered how cool it would be if they would do a serie hosted by Tamatoa who presents in each episode a shiny trinket he has and explain its background, and that way could tell the audience more about Polynasian culture and stories. In a perfect world, if they couldn't get Jemaine Clement back, they would ask Schaffrillas. And naturally, a sequel would have been better.
Something I would like to blurt out is that in the original Lion King, Mufasa looked and felt absolutely *massive*. He was a huge lion, 3 times the bulk of scar easily. In the new live-action, he’s regular-lion-sized. The complaint is that the artistic style and proportions that *make* the character don’t get carried over.
Disney or the Rock may have lined up Hawai'ian shooting locations with some sort of giant tax break. Or possibly there is some money for production that is tied up in Hawai'i. That would be an angle that gives a reason why it's live action, since it's on location. Not a great reason but it would make logical sense for a corporation like Disney to make a decision based on shooting location cost savings. I also think Disney could be trying to pass off AI generated footage as live action to save on production costs, and want it in live action specifically because in animation AI generated content would be considered uncopyrightable and also much easier to spot.
I won't watch Disney crap even with piracy. I bought a used copy of Strange World just to see how bad it was, and I still haven't watched that garbage.
Great video! It feels like Disney doesn’t respect the field of animation anymore, and these lazy carbon copies are just coasting of the backs of the hard working people that poured so much love and attention in the originals. My breaking point with them was the announcement of Snow White because there’s a big reason no one dared touch that movie during the era of dvd sequels when a member of the Disney family worked for the company.
Youre honestly right bout the lion king remake. Animals DO express more than these. Animals are more body language focused they use their ears their tail their posture their nostrils all to portray different emotions and in the original, the animation team knew this. They knew that animals have body language and combine that with the addition of eyebrows or more expressive eyes (like what dreamworks did with spirit years later) and you get an animal that is the best of both worlds! One who emotes accurately to an animal while making it understandable to people who do not see the whole picture
they are sadly making one, it's been in production for a couple of years now :( devastated honestly the aliens definitely aren't going to work in live action. animation helped them stay quirky and funny sci fi, not hideous and terrifying sci fi
You are extremely right in saying Atlantis would work better in live action compared to Moana! Why can't Disney just give us a Treasure Planet sequel or something like live action Atlantis instead of this money grab
Never understood the appeal of live action remakes anyway... some could argue its more "mature" and for "adults" but that would only be a viable excuse if animation WAS only for kids. Animation is so hugely underrated by the industry for some reason. Live action remakes just take the same thing and remove all the heart and soul from it. If I wanted to see dull realistic stuff I'd just go on a walk through town... and the weirdest part is, the live action movies are usually even LESS colorful than actual real life, as if gray and brown colors are more "realistic" somehow. Animation is NOT a genre, its a medium... Animation is an art form.
About ten years ago Disney released a concept art for a planned movie called 'Gigantic.' It was an animated telling of the story of 'Jack and the Beanstalk,' doing what Disney did best, crafting movies from old fairy stories. The twist was that the giant was actually just a little girl, albeit a very BIG little girl! I was so pumped for that, and couldn't wait to take my kids to see it. Then Disney canned the project in favour of the God-awful Lion King remake. I have had no faith in Disney ever since.
This movie’s announcement ultimately proved to me that Disney does not care about animation anymore nor telling stories with love and passion behind them. They desiccated on their entire brand and now they really are just a big media corporation with no soul.
So on point. I'm so glad I grew up in the 90s, one of the best decades to be a child immersed in the magic and wonder of Disney. I held on to that magic into my adulthood and the live action remakes didn't bother me too much to begin with when they were only coming out once every few years, but when they started to announce more and more I started to wain. I never took to Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent was interesting but the execution was a bit off, Cinderella was pretty good, The Jungle Book was even better. I wasn't even mad about Beauty & the Beast, though looking back on it, ugh yeah it was a hot mess let's be honest. Aladdin was meh. But then they announced The Lion King 'live action' remake and THAT'S where the problems started. It's frustrating to me how Jon Favreau got it right with The Jungle Book and yet turn it around and get it SO incredibly wrong with The Lion King. Remaking The Lion King into hyper realistic CGI animals with less expression than actual real animals, hell, even the CGI animals in his own Jungle Book had more expression, was completely and utterly pointless. It served nothing to the original whatsoever except cash in on everyone's nostalgia and somehow it worked and made even more money than the original did (which is the worst kick in the teeth ever). After that, I refused to watch any more. Lady & the Tramp, Mulan, Dumbo, PInnocchio and certainly not The Little Mermaid or Peter Pan & Wendy, they can all burn. And now there's a whole hoard of live action remakes coming our way thick and fast and I am getting sick and tired of it. Snow White, Hercules, Hunchback, The Sword in the Stone, Robin Hood, Bambi (hell NO), The Aristocats and Lilo & Stitch (another hell no, who the hell wants to see a 'live action' CGI Stitch?!) There's so few animated classics left in Disney's back catalogue that are yet to be touched and it's disheartening. What is the point in re-telling these stories into live action unless it truly serves a purpose? The Lion King was shot for shot and sucked. Mulan was completely different and yet that also failed in it's execution. It's also like Disney is telling us the only way to get each next generation to enjoy these stories and so that adults can enjoy them too is to turn them all into live action. It's also insulting to the originals animators who put their heart and soul into making those movies and they are now getting sidelined from re-watches because there's now "new and improved versions" for people to watch. It's bad enough that Disney was at first just taking advantage of the nostalgia we have for their animated classics from 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 years ago, but to suddenly pull out this INSANE announcement I have lost the last tiny bit of faith I had left with this company. To freaking remake an animated film into a live action that's barely 7 years old (and will still only be 10 years old by the time this comes out) is absolutely nuts. It's a complete disservice to the hard work the animators put into making the original.
Although I just really don't care about Disney anymore, I will genuinely be upset if and when they remake the Fox and the Hound. That is one of my favorite Disney movies partially because of the animation. The animation helps the animals give more expression and emotion, and I'd hate to see that turn into a shell of its former self.
You brought up an excellent point. That people mostly go to see these movies because of nostalgia. Because Moana isn't even 10 years old yet, a lot of the original child audience would still be children or teenagers. They haven't developed that sence of nostalgia for it yet. And the adults who watched it wouldn't feel that nostalgia at all, or at least not the meaningful nostalgia that Disney is trying to profit off of.
I realized what could be better than “Moana but realistic”. Actually telling an original story featuring Maui - what this movie was basically made for.
My black friend told me a really great way to look at Disney as a whole, the analogy boils down to bullying, they know they can rattle us up and make us upset like how bullies do, and if we keep giving them reactions they'll keep coming if we ignore them and don't give them that power then the go away. I think most people forget we as the audience have that power over them if we are loud enough, not to send hate but to simply walk away and support smaller creators and original ideas. If we give it no attention they won't make as much money and eventually either take a hint or die on the hill they so stubbornly planted themselves on
Ok...But how does your friend being black have anything to do with this? That’s like me saying, my bald friend once told me that Disney....Like I just don’t think that’s Relevant at all. Their skin color didn’t add anything to it
You introduced your friend as black as if that was going to be a significant part of your comment, but you never mentioned it again after that. You could have just said your friend told you “……” and it wouldn’t have changed anything
It's a weird thing, but I'm happy to hear that someone who is Hawaiian (and like you said, by extent, Polynesian) does like Moana as a film and considers it great. It almost makes me feel validated for liking it.
The magic of animation, is that you can do anything. With live actions, you are limited by physics and special effects. With animation, you create a world, live action bring those stories to our world and with that into our logic of how things work Edit: love your final conclusion, right to the point
This is going to go TERRIBLY, But Im oddly fascinated, My wife, (who is Hawaiian) agreed. "This is going to look Terrible, But I guess its like watching a train wreck, you cant just look away." i couldnt have put it better. The reason for the remake should be obvious. They can virtue signal their "diversity". After all you know their going to claim the movie stars the first (Whatever) To be cast as a main disney character! (Sarcasm heavily implied)
Disney would rather poorly rehash existing IP based on nostalgia and familiar faces/names than put in actual effort for marketing and creating good, quality original content despite having nearly unlimited resources.
Even if Moana is not a favorite of mine, I have a soft spot for it. And knowing they'll release a live action so soon made me feel disrespected. And let's be honest, they'll take out shiny just because it's too cartoonish for a live action. Smh
I got the chance to ask Ron Clements what he thought about the movies they made into live action remakes. He obviously couldn't say too much, but essentially he said he thought it was formulaic and not always a good idea. I got the impression he wasn't a huge fan.
Disney releasing an animated film: "All right, half of the process is complete." Disney releasing a live-action remake of the animated film: "Now the process is complete."
no matter how tragic and frustrating the situation is I personally find it quite funny that until a few days ago we were praising Pixar with the Elemental Trailer and now we're scolding Disney for live-action Moana
This video is exactly how I feel about the news of the live-action for Moana and Lilo and Stitch. I've grown up with these movies, they're great movies that I would watch on repeat until I'm old and grey. And I'm sure that Disney must have an entire department filled with people who have great stories to tell, have stories that they believe in and would love to see it being displayed on the big screen. But Disney is just money driven and want to remake movies that doesn't even need to be remake, because they're so good and masterpieces on their own. And I'm so grateful that you've spoke about the remake of the Lion King and Mulan, because when I saw those movies for the first time, I was so disappointed in Disney, how they could ever touch those diamonds of movies that my childhood has been built on. And I've made it my mission to not let my nieces and nephews watch the remakes of any of the live actions besides Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland and Maleficent, because they are the only live action movies that I've actually watched and enjoyed. I truly hope that someone in Disney sees this video and understand what they're about to do.
I absolutely agree! No one asked for this and it is pure laziness. Instead of focusing on giving us an incredible show or coming up with new stories. They have an opportunity to give people in this culture an opportunity to tell their own stories or create new things, but they just want to be lazy. I'm so done with it.
Don't hate watch it. that will give them the wrong ideas. Hate watching things is how bad shows and movies stick around far longer than they should. Because they won't see the hate watch they will see the money made from people hate watching.
3:26 Animation feels more authentic because the animators are creating a new reality specific to the story. CGI is animation over our reality so it looks additive rather than seamless.
im so fucking thankful to Sony's Spider-Verse series. they really made a animated movie "animated." ever since ToyStory 4 Disney's "Animated" movies look more real than Real life.
Unpopular opinion but Moana and all of Disneys modern 3D animated movies piss me off for some reason. Only exception would be the first wreck it ralph.
It took the Princess and the frog (A movie that still made back double it’s budget) for them to say 2d animation was “no longer viable.” So how many flops will it take them to finally scrap live action? Let’s make sure this movie flops as hard as possible so these guys can get an ego check!
It's actually hilarious to watch disney continue to hit a wall and not learn anything. A part of me enjoys watching them hurt themselves over and over again
The big problem is also the disrespect for animation. The live action remakes reinforce that animation is only for kids when that’s not true. Animation has value to it. Animation can make kids cry and adults cry. Animation can make kids happy and adults happy. Animation can be emotional or epic or stupid yet funny. It can be anything you want and it’s a medium that deserves more respect.
Even though I'm okay with Disney remakes, it's too soon it make a Moana remake. If you're gonna remake something it has to be way back in the day either in the 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s.
The live action lion king was such a huge failure, they don't even emote as animals. It could maybe have worked if the characters actually emoted at all, but it's like watching those dumb commercials where they just put the human mouth on something random. It would have been fun to see the animals emote as animals, but they just stand there woodenley
This is our punishment for Black Adam not doing well. The movie is only a couple of years old. I don’t see the purpose in remaking it so soon. Why not just make a sequel?
As far as I’m concerned there’s no reason for live action remakes of animated films/shows. Unlike when adapting a book, manga/comic, or videogame, there is almost nothing to be gained and far more to lose from making an animated project live action.
I think it's actually a lot harder to adapt a visual medium to another visual medium than, for example, a book into a film. Because if you remake an animated story, then you simply can't follow 'your interpretation' of the character's looks. Plus there is the fact that if Tai Lung in Kung Fu Panda jumps upwards on falling rocks, it doesn't feel 'unreal', because you don't expect it to be real. It's a talking, clothed, martial arts cat!!! You don't expect a cartoon character to follow real world physics. But when you see something that seems to be the part of reality, it can be really jarring to see physics an real world common sense not applying to them at all. It can be done, but it's hard, and doubly hard when they try to recreate an animation without really thinking about wheter or not a scene would work in live action as well...
It’s unfortunate how Disney has been casting animation to the side. The medium still has so much potential to tell novel stories that can’t be replicated in live action. I hope things will turn around soon, especially if this remake flops.
I really loved Moana so much when it first came out that i saw it repeatedly in theaters, and im kinda heartbroken that its getting the live action treatment so soon. Please disney for the love of god just make an original live action Polynesian movie with the Rock in it dont do this
I agree with you. With everything you said. Man. I'd rather connect with people because of something we all love. Now we are united becauce we hate so much what Disney is doing lately. Remaking the movies that we do love instead of giving us new stories that we would love. It's not that we don't get anything new, I'm super hyped for Wish.. But I'd rather replace every remake with another new story in addition. Moana is the most pointless... Well, that and The Lion King. BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY ANIMATED. Why can't we get a Moana Stage Musical instead......
The sad thing about the lIon king remake is that, making the animals expresive was kinda possible. Paddington did almost realistic bear, that was expresive
Also we already have a realistic lion that could still show emotions in media: Aslan from Narnia
He looked more like a teddy bear
Look at the movie Rango, or Guardians of Ga'Hoole, they both make fairly realistic animals that are still expressive.
It gets worse. The Lion King remake had expressive design prototypes that were then scrapped because whoever fucking directed that movie wanted it to be as realistic as possible.
@@ggrarl Rango was a masterpiece and it proved that you can CGI animals to look realistic and still give them expressions. Fun fact: Johnny Depp suggested that he and the actors could move irl and the animators could animate their movements. That’s why the animation looks realistic.
Why didn’t Disney use that idea and do the same to the fox and cat from the live action Pinocchio? They even cgied the cat, they didn’t need to CGI a cat when they could’ve used an actual cat trained by a professional.
I am secretly hoping the moana live action movie is just an april fools joke
I know
exactly
it needs to
Same
Even if it is an April fools joke it’s still a joke
What I hate is that movies like Treasure Planet and Journey To Atlantis would actually work really well in live action because they feel so reminiscent of Marvel and Star Wars (two properties under Disney). They could give these movies the love that they deserved.
Also, they better stay away from The Emperor’s New Groove. So much of the humor in that movie comes from the expressions and physics that you can only achieve with animation. Same with characters such as the Genie from Aladdin, Hades from Hercules, Lumiere from B&TB, etc etc etc.
Heck, give us The Black Cauldron or The Sword In The Stone. Those movies could actually work in live action. Instead, they’re destroying beloved films. The Disney creativity well seems to be drying out 🙁
Atlantis would also be Disneys perfect diversity checklist. But you know with actually good story and characters. Same for treasure planet.
Agreed! I’d really like to see Treasure Planet. Also in regards to the emperors new groove, It’d be interesting to see Kingdom of the Sun (the original idea for the emperors new groove) rather than a straight up remake of it. Unfortunately I’m not sure Disney is capable of making good live action movies anymore
Michael J Fox and Tommy Lee Jones are to old
As pretty as Atlantis is its story kinda sucked. Funnily enough I feel like it might look better in live action. It kinda needs a remake
With Disney as it is today. They would no doubt ruin those films. Even if by all accounts, they would be great picks for a live action.
Better hope they keep their hands off of them until they relearn how to tell good stories again and not just cash grabs.
Moana isn't even 10 years old! Who is nostalgic for it? I have a theory. Rock asked Disney to make a live-action Moana so he can play Maui because the voice acting wasn't enough. Because Black Adam was a flop and probably other movies he was supposed to appear in are scraped he's desperate to find another role. And Disney wants money so they said yes.
Also, remember the ''Rock can't lose a fight on screen in a movie.''? What are they going to do? In the movie, Maui gets beaten quite a bit.
Those mortals Will scrap the all mighty tamatoa from the movie
I agree! & tbh I wouldn't even be surprised if your theory's true. & yeah, the movie's not even 10 years old yet! now if Disney wants to do a Tangled remake (but let's just hope that that DOESN'T happen), they could probably get away with it because 1) it's a movie that doesn't really need a lot of CGI & 2) the movie's over 10 years old, so we'll have some nostalgia for that movie. but anyways, yeah I have a bad feeling about this Moana remake
I do find this movie nostalgic considering I’ve had such a great time during 2016-18
The contract that the rock can’t lose a fight was only for the fast and furious and black adam as far as we know, but I wouldn’t put it past him to use that contract in every movie
It’s a vanity project for him, and to show his daughters he is Maui since they love the movie
It's really weird how Disney is acting like a virus... "Animation's not working any more... Ooo, CGI!... CGI's not working any more... Ooo, Live action!" just slowly killing off perfectly profitable... media for movies...
What are they going to do when they run out of gimmicks to use? They are going to try CGI and 2D hybrid with Wish and kill it too?
@@kingagrabowska9366 Then stopmotion
"Live-action isn't working anymore, what do we do?"
"Um. Wild idea. What if we made vibrant, colorful, hand-animated versions of our live action movies?"
"Brilliant, Johnson! I could kiss your wife!"
"Uh, sir? I identify as a transgendered toaster oven. I don't have a wife."
"No one cares, Johnson."
yeah it's pretty weird... like Disney does know they can still make animated movies right? but oh wait, their animated movies were a disaster last year too
An CGI is technically animation…
Why do people treat animation so poorly? There is nothing like it. When done right, it can be more emotional, beautiful, poignant than anything we see in real life. A Rock smile is fine, but a Maui smile is just on another level. What's wrong with that?
Because of a strange belief that it's "for babies" even though Looney Tunes and the early Mickey Mouse cartoons were not intended for children to begin with. The one thing that's messed up is that Walt Disney intended for his animated films to be for all ages, not just kids.
It's a ridiculous thing, especially with how successful anime can be, but it seems Disney and the film industry are saying "la la la, I'm not seeing this! La la la"🙄
@@hikaritakahashi9411 for awhile it was seen for everybody because the theater experience was something everyone wanted to see.
@@hikaritakahashi9411 God I hate the “animation is for fetuses” stereotype. Is something like HTF, South Park, Superjail, or ANIMATED H3NTAI instantly made for fertilized eggs just because they’re animations despite the g0re and other not very kid friendly stuff in them?
Im pretty sure its because it dosent make enough money, animation takes years and lots of money to make and its not not enough for Disney who wants more and more, although the live actions are bad, they do it because it still gives them a secure income because they know in the end that the nostalgic people will eat from their hands anyways rather than using a new concept or story
They can’t afford new works of art and animation. Cheaper to reboot old ones.
Let’s be honest: they’re either gonna make Tamatoa’s song inferior to the original, or they’ll cut him from the remake altogether.
i hope they do the latter before they ruin him
Oh god! He'll turn into a real life expressionless animal just like in Lion King for sure!
Honestly I think I'd prefer him not even being in the movie because if they _do_ add him they will definitely absolutely ruin him
All of the kids are going to be running out of the theatre screaming the second they see Tamatoa 😭
He'd just be a giant expression-less realistic crab with sparkles on its back...
Your entire rant at the end about the upcoming Moana remake and Disney as a whole satisfied me.
same, it made me pretty happy too. as much as I hate to say this, Disney's just desperate for money & relevancy, to the point where they'll ruin almost everything we love. & I HATE it
Same. I was like “yes! Go off!” We need new stories not remade ones, and especially not so soon

It would be super cool if Disney made more films about different traditional stories and stuff from the Polynesian culture, but nooo, they just have to rake in the cash with the remakes
I mean jasmine was some kinda persian but i still didnt get the real persian ppl on screen and this is sad that disney is making the 100 year of the company look awful 😭😭😭
@@rachelyoungdesteny9295 I heard that the actress for Jasmine was Indian. It’s funny how Disney wants to be diverse, yet they cast an Indian person to play a Persian character. She wasn’t the right race, like how Halle Bailey isn’t the right race for Ariel. I don’t really respect her after she said that “Ariel didn’t live up to modern women” when she earlier said that Ariel was her childhood friend. She’s gonna ruin it with her feminist agenda because apparently Ariel is a traditional woman (when she literally rebelled against her father by going to the surface and became human).
atp their movies are just blatant cashgrabs, they dont like making movies about under represented communities bc their bland, generic movies do just as well
Even a movie based on Philippine culture would be nice…
@@lovelycloudyskies not all mermaids are white sheesh let it go already dam
I remember watching Moana with my mom for the first time and she said "wow, the water looks so realistic!" but with the live action stuff... it's just water. of course it looks realistic because it's real. there's nothing super mindblowing about it, especially when the story has already been told.
I am sure they will make the water less realistic somehow 😆
The thing is… it’s likely still CGI. But you don’t notice or appreciate the skill of the VFX artists as much when EVERYTHING just looks photo-real.
They don’t typically use real water in life-action. Animated movies just make it more lively.
You know the movie is flat when the highest praise a person can give is "water looks watery"
I would've rather Moana 2 than an LA remake. Like, out of all possible Disney sequels, that to me always made the most sense. They're going out to sea! Adventure is out there! Who knows what they'll come across! There's so many possibilities! I'm not thrilled for this, and will just be sticking to the original.
Honestly, I’ll be so happy if they just make a Moana 2. And if they would, Tomata better be either a protagonist or an antagonist
There’s an easy antagonist, too- the people want to go home, failing to understand what they’d left behind and not trusting moana’s leadership. This is from about 15 seconds of thinking about it. And it’d he SO much better than LA
But then Dwayne Johnson wouldn’t get to have his face in the movie, and he can’t have that! Seriously though, that’s the only reason I can think of as to why they wouldn’t just make a Moana sequel
I unironically miss Disney sequels, at least they tried to be creative and not all of them were terrible
I think that Modern Disney shouldn't be allowed to touch any of the old IP's, animated sequels or live action. They keep churning out train wreck after train wreck.
I want a live action remake, but low budget. The Rock in a tattoo body sleeve and cheap wig, Alan Tudyk holding a chicken puppet, and Jemaine Clement in a crab costume with a bunch of thrift store junk glued to the back.
Make it look like an elementary school production and I’m totally on board.
That sounds like a great idea
Sold.
I'll pay for the overpriced movie popcorn for that
That sounds hilarious, I’m all for this
Yt ppl jokes
It could be a Moana's sequel, or a spinoff about Maui, hell, even a live action spinoff about Maui staring The Rock. But nooo, it had to be a remake
It’s way too soon for Moana to get a live action remake besides I think Disney needs to stop with their live action remakes and leave the originals alone as childhood classics they’re perfect the way they are!
I agree Disney need to stop doing live-action remakes instead they really just need to do great animated films instead of wasting their money on stuff no one wants 😡
i agree. they literally cancelled an animated disney channel show that had good reception JUST to make room for a pointless live action remake which they think will make a quick buck of.
yes you're right sadly
I hope they'll return to 2d animation someday
They’ve fallen into the soul sucking pit every formerly great company has fallen into.
Good thing that we still have Dreamworks. At least they respect the art of animation…
It's coming to the point where Disney has no ideas at all. That's why they're constantly throwing sequels and remakes just to cash grab people instead of coming up with other folklore or princess lore ideas.
I would LOVE to see more Polynesian stories, or African, or Japanese or Chinese or any of the millions upon millions of cool cultural stories in beautiful animation. Screw you Disney, screw your creatively bankrupt corporate heart.
I'd love to see them do a movie based around the Celtic or Nordic cultures and their conquest across Europe, hell even Australia. But knowing Disney, they cock that up as well.
@@bradsmckay I think I would prefer to see stories about the natives in Australia. Literally never hear about them 😅
I would absolutely LOVE to see a fantasy movie set in an African country (maybe Nigeria or even South Africa) about an African fairy tribe (Maybe the Zulu tribe!). I would love to see all the details of the jewelry, beads, African print dresses, gorgeous hairstyles and of course, the delicious food! But Disney would never make a movie like that because they are so creatively bankrupt that they just won't do it.
Glad to hear a native Hawaiian's opinion. This announcement was received very poorly and should make Disney think twice

It's definitely a vanity project for The Rock. After Black Adam fell through, he needed something to pull himself up, and Moana was probably his best bet.
Black Adam really turn me off from the Rock.
I see now he is just about the check instead of quality production.
Yeah… when I first heard about “live action Moana” I got whiplash. Those words should not be in the same sentence, yet here we are. Mulan was one of top fav Disney movies, I haven’t even watched the live action cuz it actually hurts my soul that it even exists and was done SO poorly. Moana is one of my top favs too so now I’m just terrified. I don’t know what to even expect. The music was incredible, the animation and colors were beautiful, it was all so magical and emotional. Don’t desecrate my child Disney
"Live-action Moana" sounds like a curse
@@_Egonsounds like a skin disease
@@alexischavez3238 It is.
@@_Egon 🤣
yeah apparently with the live action mulan they were filming near some torture camp base in china, which is really fucked up because its actually true, they literally filmed near an area where people suffer. im part chinese and i couldn’t even get through a minute of the damn live action because of how boring and stereotypical it was, i regret watching the start of the movie all those months ago🤦🏻
all we could do now is just. dont watch the damn live action moana. ignore every trailer of it disney shoves in our damn face. actually i cant imagine the merchandising for the movie too😭😭💀especially the little mermaid live action childrens book IT LOOKS SO SOULLESS 💀
One of moana’s strengths is how it uses color to help its storytelling (like whenever the manta spirit shows up, the glow in the dark in Shiny, all the vibrant greens) and Disney live actions are so dark colored and feel lifeless and drained
When I watched The Lion King remake, it made me question why I liked that story so much as a kid. I went and watched the original again, still holds up as one of the best. That’s the effect they’ve had on me, and I haven’t watched a single remake since.
I didn't dare watch the remake after seeing how lacklustre the expressions were
The original Lion King being my favorite movie ever, the disrespect is real.
They could do anything else than a live action movie. After Disney+ was released I wondered how cool it would be if they would do a serie hosted by Tamatoa who presents in each episode a shiny trinket he has and explain its background, and that way could tell the audience more about Polynasian culture and stories. In a perfect world, if they couldn't get Jemaine Clement back, they would ask Schaffrillas.
And naturally, a sequel would have been better.
Remember people, if Disney’s making a live action remake, never watch it in a way that will give Disney money.
or dont watch it at all
@@MokonaModokiES Morbid curiosity XD
@@MokonaModokiES That too.
Just pirate the live action remakes.
Or here’s an idea, let people do whatever they want.
Something I would like to blurt out is that in the original Lion King, Mufasa looked and felt absolutely *massive*. He was a huge lion, 3 times the bulk of scar easily. In the new live-action, he’s regular-lion-sized. The complaint is that the artistic style and proportions that *make* the character don’t get carried over.
Huh, gotta watch Lion King again, was he really that big?
Disney or the Rock may have lined up Hawai'ian shooting locations with some sort of giant tax break. Or possibly there is some money for production that is tied up in Hawai'i. That would be an angle that gives a reason why it's live action, since it's on location. Not a great reason but it would make logical sense for a corporation like Disney to make a decision based on shooting location cost savings.
I also think Disney could be trying to pass off AI generated footage as live action to save on production costs, and want it in live action specifically because in animation AI generated content would be considered uncopyrightable and also much easier to spot.
Let's make sure the Disney live action remakes from now on flop in box office or if they are released on Disney+, then let's watch them with piracy
The RUclips community is barely 10% from the amount of total viewers on average. Even if we all stop, I don't think things will change.
Agreed 10000%
I won't watch Disney crap even with piracy. I bought a used copy of Strange World just to see how bad it was, and I still haven't watched that garbage.
When I watched the trailer for strange world, I didn't expect the trailer cuts to be part of the movie 💀
Great video! It feels like Disney doesn’t respect the field of animation anymore, and these lazy carbon copies are just coasting of the backs of the hard working people that poured so much love and attention in the originals. My breaking point with them was the announcement of Snow White because there’s a big reason no one dared touch that movie during the era of dvd sequels when a member of the Disney family worked for the company.
Some days I have those dumb dreams to make a animation company just to be spiteful at Disney constantly remaking their animated projects
You should! Look at what lackadaisy is doing!
Sounds like a smart idea👍
That's basically DreamWorks's origin story.
@@miriamcastaneda9848 it was a dream even before I’ve been upset with Disney. Because I like the idea of doing some cool stories as movies ahd such
Youre honestly right bout the lion king remake. Animals DO express more than these.
Animals are more body language focused they use their ears their tail their posture their nostrils all to portray different emotions and in the original, the animation team knew this.
They knew that animals have body language and combine that with the addition of eyebrows or more expressive eyes (like what dreamworks did with spirit years later) and you get an animal that is the best of both worlds!
One who emotes accurately to an animal while making it understandable to people who do not see the whole picture
Wow the Rock really did live long enough to become the villan huh
Yeah it's really surprising
1:19, I love Lilo and Stich, but if they are making a live action remake, then count me out.
they are sadly making one, it's been in production for a couple of years now :( devastated honestly the aliens definitely aren't going to work in live action. animation helped them stay quirky and funny sci fi, not hideous and terrifying sci fi
They are, and they're giving it the little mermaid treatment by casting someone not of polynesian descent as nani
@@aeoligarlic4024 bad movies always have the race card up there sleeve
FR LIKE NOOOO WAY
You are extremely right in saying Atlantis would work better in live action compared to Moana! Why can't Disney just give us a Treasure Planet sequel or something like live action Atlantis instead of this money grab
Never understood the appeal of live action remakes anyway... some could argue its more "mature" and for "adults" but that would only be a viable excuse if animation WAS only for kids. Animation is so hugely underrated by the industry for some reason. Live action remakes just take the same thing and remove all the heart and soul from it. If I wanted to see dull realistic stuff I'd just go on a walk through town... and the weirdest part is, the live action movies are usually even LESS colorful than actual real life, as if gray and brown colors are more "realistic" somehow.
Animation is NOT a genre, its a medium... Animation is an art form.
About ten years ago Disney released a concept art for a planned movie called 'Gigantic.' It was an animated telling of the story of 'Jack and the Beanstalk,' doing what Disney did best, crafting movies from old fairy stories. The twist was that the giant was actually just a little girl, albeit a very BIG little girl! I was so pumped for that, and couldn't wait to take my kids to see it.
Then Disney canned the project in favour of the God-awful Lion King remake.
I have had no faith in Disney ever since.
Wtf?
Fingers crossed that they cast Arnold Schwarzenegger as Moana 🤞
And Chris Pratt as Tamatoa
This movie’s announcement ultimately proved to me that Disney does not care about animation anymore nor telling stories with love and passion behind them. They desiccated on their entire brand and now they really are just a big media corporation with no soul.
You just realized that lol? Not to be rude but why do you think they have thousands of theme parks worldwide?
So on point. I'm so glad I grew up in the 90s, one of the best decades to be a child immersed in the magic and wonder of Disney. I held on to that magic into my adulthood and the live action remakes didn't bother me too much to begin with when they were only coming out once every few years, but when they started to announce more and more I started to wain. I never took to Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent was interesting but the execution was a bit off, Cinderella was pretty good, The Jungle Book was even better. I wasn't even mad about Beauty & the Beast, though looking back on it, ugh yeah it was a hot mess let's be honest. Aladdin was meh. But then they announced The Lion King 'live action' remake and THAT'S where the problems started. It's frustrating to me how Jon Favreau got it right with The Jungle Book and yet turn it around and get it SO incredibly wrong with The Lion King. Remaking The Lion King into hyper realistic CGI animals with less expression than actual real animals, hell, even the CGI animals in his own Jungle Book had more expression, was completely and utterly pointless. It served nothing to the original whatsoever except cash in on everyone's nostalgia and somehow it worked and made even more money than the original did (which is the worst kick in the teeth ever). After that, I refused to watch any more. Lady & the Tramp, Mulan, Dumbo, PInnocchio and certainly not The Little Mermaid or Peter Pan & Wendy, they can all burn. And now there's a whole hoard of live action remakes coming our way thick and fast and I am getting sick and tired of it. Snow White, Hercules, Hunchback, The Sword in the Stone, Robin Hood, Bambi (hell NO), The Aristocats and Lilo & Stitch (another hell no, who the hell wants to see a 'live action' CGI Stitch?!) There's so few animated classics left in Disney's back catalogue that are yet to be touched and it's disheartening. What is the point in re-telling these stories into live action unless it truly serves a purpose? The Lion King was shot for shot and sucked. Mulan was completely different and yet that also failed in it's execution. It's also like Disney is telling us the only way to get each next generation to enjoy these stories and so that adults can enjoy them too is to turn them all into live action. It's also insulting to the originals animators who put their heart and soul into making those movies and they are now getting sidelined from re-watches because there's now "new and improved versions" for people to watch. It's bad enough that Disney was at first just taking advantage of the nostalgia we have for their animated classics from 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 years ago, but to suddenly pull out this INSANE announcement I have lost the last tiny bit of faith I had left with this company. To freaking remake an animated film into a live action that's barely 7 years old (and will still only be 10 years old by the time this comes out) is absolutely nuts. It's a complete disservice to the hard work the animators put into making the original.
Although I just really don't care about Disney anymore, I will genuinely be upset if and when they remake the Fox and the Hound. That is one of my favorite Disney movies partially because of the animation. The animation helps the animals give more expression and emotion, and I'd hate to see that turn into a shell of its former self.
A Moana 2 (if executed right) would be something I'd enjoy but a live action is a no go
You brought up an excellent point. That people mostly go to see these movies because of nostalgia. Because Moana isn't even 10 years old yet, a lot of the original child audience would still be children or teenagers. They haven't developed that sence of nostalgia for it yet. And the adults who watched it wouldn't feel that nostalgia at all, or at least not the meaningful nostalgia that Disney is trying to profit off of.
Lilo and Stitch is also a little too modern to be remade so soon. I would know, since I am an early 2000s kid.
Thank you for mentioning Tamatoa. If he's even included I can't wait to see how terrifying it will be.
I realized what could be better than “Moana but realistic”. Actually telling an original story featuring Maui - what this movie was basically made for.
My black friend told me a really great way to look at Disney as a whole, the analogy boils down to bullying, they know they can rattle us up and make us upset like how bullies do, and if we keep giving them reactions they'll keep coming if we ignore them and don't give them that power then the go away. I think most people forget we as the audience have that power over them if we are loud enough, not to send hate but to simply walk away and support smaller creators and original ideas. If we give it no attention they won't make as much money and eventually either take a hint or die on the hill they so stubbornly planted themselves on
Ok...But how does your friend being black have anything to do with this? That’s like me saying, my bald friend once told me that Disney....Like I just don’t think that’s Relevant at all. Their skin color didn’t add anything to it
@@ANationalguy I’m glad someone said it
…. What does your friend being black add to what you’ve said? 😂

@@MeemahSN disney keep raceswapping their classic characters even though the original is incredibly iconic. Aka Ariel. Also they hate redheads.🙄

It's a weird thing, but I'm happy to hear that someone who is Hawaiian (and like you said, by extent, Polynesian) does like Moana as a film and considers it great. It almost makes me feel validated for liking it.
We all knew was coming but we just didn't know when 😩
The magic of animation, is that you can do anything. With live actions, you are limited by physics and special effects. With animation, you create a world, live action bring those stories to our world and with that into our logic of how things work
Edit: love your final conclusion, right to the point
This is going to go TERRIBLY, But Im oddly fascinated, My wife, (who is Hawaiian) agreed. "This is going to look Terrible, But I guess its like watching a train wreck, you cant just look away." i couldnt have put it better.
The reason for the remake should be obvious. They can virtue signal their "diversity". After all you know their going to claim the movie stars the first (Whatever) To be cast as a main disney character! (Sarcasm heavily implied)
Disney would rather poorly rehash existing IP based on nostalgia and familiar faces/names than put in actual effort for marketing and creating good, quality original content despite having nearly unlimited resources.
I said it before and I’ll say it again; Walt Disney (the actual human) would be DISAPPOINTED in how modern Disney is unfolding
Even if Moana is not a favorite of mine, I have a soft spot for it. And knowing they'll release a live action so soon made me feel disrespected. And let's be honest, they'll take out shiny just because it's too cartoonish for a live action. Smh
*giant nightmare tamatoa intensifies*
they could and this is the only hope i have for it they could give Tamatoa the king Louie treatment for his song
As a Mexican I am now dreading Disney remaking coco
I got the chance to ask Ron Clements what he thought about the movies they made into live action remakes. He obviously couldn't say too much, but essentially he said he thought it was formulaic and not always a good idea. I got the impression he wasn't a huge fan.
We just need to make sure we don’t watch, so it won’t make money, so they finally give up (they won’t, and just throw it onto disney+)
Disney releasing an animated film: "All right, half of the process is complete."
Disney releasing a live-action remake of the animated film: "Now the process is complete."
The Rock will look so weird with a full head of hair
I foresee an increase of people illegally downloading content from Disney rather than pay to ‘hate watch’.
It should be interesting to see Dwayne Johnson sing "You're Welcome" in live action.
Plot twist: Live-action Moana will just be regular Moana with the human actors green-screened in. Filmed in a 10 m2 soundstage in Hawaii
It just doesn’t pull out that same vibe the animation did itself..
I find it funny how mulan pretty much did a youtube asian portrayal. "Obey me or I'll beat yo ass with my powers"
no matter how tragic and frustrating the situation is
I personally find it quite funny that until a few days ago we were praising Pixar with the Elemental Trailer
and now we're scolding Disney for live-action Moana
when you mentioned tresure planet... I love this film soooooo much and its so sad that so little people know that when its real masterpice
This video is exactly how I feel about the news of the live-action for Moana and Lilo and Stitch. I've grown up with these movies, they're great movies that I would watch on repeat until I'm old and grey. And I'm sure that Disney must have an entire department filled with people who have great stories to tell, have stories that they believe in and would love to see it being displayed on the big screen. But Disney is just money driven and want to remake movies that doesn't even need to be remake, because they're so good and masterpieces on their own. And I'm so grateful that you've spoke about the remake of the Lion King and Mulan, because when I saw those movies for the first time, I was so disappointed in Disney, how they could ever touch those diamonds of movies that my childhood has been built on. And I've made it my mission to not let my nieces and nephews watch the remakes of any of the live actions besides Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland and Maleficent, because they are the only live action movies that I've actually watched and enjoyed. I truly hope that someone in Disney sees this video and understand what they're about to do.
I absolutely agree! No one asked for this and it is pure laziness. Instead of focusing on giving us an incredible show or coming up with new stories. They have an opportunity to give people in this culture an opportunity to tell their own stories or create new things, but they just want to be lazy. I'm so done with it.
Don't hate watch it. that will give them the wrong ideas. Hate watching things is how bad shows and movies stick around far longer than they should. Because they won't see the hate watch they will see the money made from people hate watching.
3:26 Animation feels more authentic because the animators are creating a new reality specific to the story.
CGI is animation over our reality so it looks additive rather than seamless.
if you want realistic effects just go watch a play.
im so fucking thankful to Sony's Spider-Verse series. they really made a animated movie "animated."
ever since ToyStory 4 Disney's "Animated" movies look more real than Real life.
that is just nuts.
Muai: 🎶Hey, what can I say except…
We’re dead soon. We’re dead soon.🎶
Disney went from live action adaptation every 3-4 years to more than 1 per year
Unpopular opinion but Moana and all of Disneys modern 3D animated movies piss me off for some reason. Only exception would be the first wreck it ralph.
I just realized Pumbas horns grow from inside his mouth
teeth :D
Wait a damn minute... THEY ARE REMAKING LILO AND STITCH TOO? disney needs to stop this madness
It took the Princess and the frog (A movie that still made back double it’s budget) for them to say 2d animation was “no longer viable.” So how many flops will it take them to finally scrap live action? Let’s make sure this movie flops as hard as possible so these guys can get an ego check!
It's actually hilarious to watch disney continue to hit a wall and not learn anything. A part of me enjoys watching them hurt themselves over and over again
The big problem is also the disrespect for animation. The live action remakes reinforce that animation is only for kids when that’s not true. Animation has value to it. Animation can make kids cry and adults cry. Animation can make kids happy and adults happy. Animation can be emotional or epic or stupid yet funny. It can be anything you want and it’s a medium that deserves more respect.
Let’s hope that the actress for Moana makes “How Far I’ll Go” a banger.
Even though I'm okay with Disney remakes, it's too soon it make a Moana remake. If you're gonna remake something it has to be way back in the day either in the 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s.
I got a question:Are you that guy that created the 60 seconds why school is bad channel? If so hi😀
Today I learned about the Lilo and stitch remake :/ I’m now slightly afraid.
The live action lion king was such a huge failure, they don't even emote as animals. It could maybe have worked if the characters actually emoted at all, but it's like watching those dumb commercials where they just put the human mouth on something random. It would have been fun to see the animals emote as animals, but they just stand there woodenley
Like I said. There is a way to do a life action remake of a CGI Film Properly: Use Practical Effects and make it a point that this time, it is NOT CGI
This is our punishment for Black Adam not doing well. The movie is only a couple of years old. I don’t see the purpose in remaking it so soon. Why not just make a sequel?
As far as I’m concerned there’s no reason for live action remakes of animated films/shows. Unlike when adapting a book, manga/comic, or videogame, there is almost nothing to be gained and far more to lose from making an animated project live action.
Has it been 7 years?!
When will Disney learn that they suck at retelling old stories? Just leave these movies alone! They’re perfect as they are!
I was always expecting a live action Moana. I just wasn’t expecting it this soon.
I think it's actually a lot harder to adapt a visual medium to another visual medium than, for example, a book into a film. Because if you remake an animated story, then you simply can't follow 'your interpretation' of the character's looks. Plus there is the fact that if Tai Lung in Kung Fu Panda jumps upwards on falling rocks, it doesn't feel 'unreal', because you don't expect it to be real. It's a talking, clothed, martial arts cat!!! You don't expect a cartoon character to follow real world physics. But when you see something that seems to be the part of reality, it can be really jarring to see physics an real world common sense not applying to them at all. It can be done, but it's hard, and doubly hard when they try to recreate an animation without really thinking about wheter or not a scene would work in live action as well...
Disney do be speedrunning making live action versions of every single one of their animated movies.
It’s unfortunate how Disney has been casting animation to the side. The medium still has so much potential to tell novel stories that can’t be replicated in live action. I hope things will turn around soon, especially if this remake flops.
If they cut out shiny I'm going to cry if they do
Kids who watched Moana when it came out are at most teenagers now! There is no nostalgia for this movie! Not for at least another decade!
I really loved Moana so much when it first came out that i saw it repeatedly in theaters, and im kinda heartbroken that its getting the live action treatment so soon. Please disney for the love of god just make an original live action Polynesian movie with the Rock in it dont do this
I agree with you. With everything you said. Man. I'd rather connect with people because of something we all love. Now we are united becauce we hate so much what Disney is doing lately. Remaking the movies that we do love instead of giving us new stories that we would love. It's not that we don't get anything new, I'm super hyped for Wish.. But I'd rather replace every remake with another new story in addition.
Moana is the most pointless... Well, that and The Lion King. BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY ANIMATED.
Why can't we get a Moana Stage Musical instead......
Moana isn't even 10 years old... Why remake it?! 😭
