You know which live-action Disney remakes were actually good? None of them.
@@maddestmike5791 I 100% agree with that!
The 2017 remake of "Beauty and the Beast", was not about improving the story, it was about setting up key explorations for the origin stories of Belle, Beast and Gaston that has set off the main story from the start of the Beast's Curse; plus it was a good key notable that the bow and arrow thing in the animated feature was a movie mistake, because this Live action film makes it clear that the Disney versions of the story was supposed to take place in a time period where the use for such simple ranged weapons would be outdated to firearms.
@@maddestmike5791That statement is a 100% a total lie, misinformation, and disinformation.
Technically, I don't think Cruella was a remake. It's more like an origin story.
Excellent point considering the live action 101 Dalmatians movie exists
At first, I was surprised the Maleficent movie wasn't up here, but thinking of this, I would agree that it also appears more "origin story" than remake.
I'd love to see more villain origin stories, tbh. Though if it's one of these more realistic movies, that could kill the style of characters like Scar, Dr. Facilier, and Jafar - all of whom have distinct animations and designs.
@@crysstalhubbard8323 yeah, people seem to forget that one.
@@familyoftacticaldroids309 Maleficent eing called a remake annoys me. Because it's not a remake beyond taking a few scenes from the cartoon. There's barely any actual remade parts. It's mostly original and reads as a fanfiction, nor does it take place in the same universe. Philip is Swedish according to his kingdom being Ulstead, Stefan is Scottish and evil, Maleficent stays good, the fairies are renamed, it's pink vs green instead of blue....
I agree
101 Dalmatians with Glenn Close ..WORKED . I wish it had a honorable mention.
I mean 102 dalmnation was a success
I'm so happy you remembered this one💜💜
I mean 101 Dalmatians (1996) was a good adaption, I just haven't watched it in a while and I don't have the urge to reach for it again any time soon. I'm always reaching for the 1961 classic. But, I do like Glenn Close, Hugh Laurie and Mark Williams (as Cruella, Jasper and Horace, respectively). It's just not that interesting to me anymore.
@@KarmaTube5 Oh yeah, 102 Dalmatians is an underrated gem of a live-action sequel. I like that the focus is on Dipstick and his puppies this time around. I like Chloe Simons and Kevin Shepherd. I love Waddlesworth the Parrot. Oddball, the daughter of Dipstick and Dottie is a really fun, cute and lovable protagonist. She and Patch (from 101 Dalmatians 2: Patch's London Adventure) just prove that you don't need to have too many Dalmatians to tell a good story.
@@KarmaTube5 Well, it didn't have make half of what it's predecessor made (which was $320M against $67M budget). So, 102 Dalmatians was kind of a flop, but, I did enjoy watching it as a kid.
In my personal opinion, Cinderella is the best remake that Disney has made thus far. It managed to create it's own story and style, a film that stood on its own without relying heavily on nostalgia, and gave new depth to familiar characters especially the prince. If Jane Austen was a filmmaker, Cinderella remake is exactly how i'd imagine if she wrote and directed it. Everyone was absolutely brilliant in their roles and it's probably the only Disney remake that i can rewatch over and over again. Kenneth Branagh as the director with his Shakespeare brain in it did such a great job in telling the story. It's not just a good live action remake, it's a good movie as a whole!
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 96% of 290 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.3/10. The website's consensus reads: "Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio delivers fully on its title - which is to say it's a visually stunning adaptation that embraces its source material's darkness."[57]
Highest rated Disney Movie Remake- *Jungle Book-2016* -On Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, the film holds an approval rating of 94% based on 332 reviews and an average rating of 7.7/10. The site's critical consensus reads: "As lovely to behold as it is engrossing to watch, The Jungle Book is the rare remake that actually improves upon its predecessors-all while setting a new standard for CGI".[117]
Highest rated Disney Movie Remake Razzie(0%-50%)- *Dumbo-2019* -On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film received an approval rating of 46% based on 368 reviews and an average rating of 5.5/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Dumbo is held partly aloft by Tim Burton's visual flair, but a crowded canvas and overstretched story leave this live-action remake more workmanlike than wondrous."[10]
Lowest rated Disney Movie Remake- *Pinocchio-2022* -On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 28% of 181 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 4.8/10. The website's consensus reads: "Visually dazzling but soulless, the largely inert Pinocchio reaffirms that you should always let your conscience be your guide… away from unnecessary remakes."[41]
Christopher Robin worked as a live action Winnie the Pooh spectacularly!
Agreed!!
Yes!! And I loved it!
Cruella remains my favorite. Emma Stone sells it, gives another perspective to an iconic Disney film, and the monochromatic castle intro with the blood red Disney logo, the dark clouds with lightning, and the theme song and faint laughter in the background - emphasizing that this ain’t a happy go-lucky Disney fairytale movie.
Mulan just killed every bit of fun we could have expected
I love the animation of that film, the remake was a totally different story and o hated it
@@erindell7879 They actually made it closer to the authentic story of Mulan, but nobody wanted to see that. And tbh the star character of Mulan is really Mushu and he was nowhere in the remake
@@yasnaynavarrete7411 I'm aware of that, I love the animated version, I was expecting it to be that.
@@erindell7879i still like the remake of it mostly bc of its stunning visuals and depending on ur view liuyi fei did her best to solid and flesh out her performance as mulan
What killed it the most, in my opinion, is the removal of Mulan as a character girls could aspire to be like. In the original, the succeeded with hard work, ingenuity, and determination-very inspiring. In the remake, the had magical chi…? Not exactly something a little girl can imitate! It removed the inspiring girl-power quality.
The Lion King remake was doomed to fail the moment they announced it. Like, you can't replicate the whole thing with photorealistic animals when none of characters have any facial expression because they looked real. It's the definition of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should". Felt like watching a National Geographic documentary movie with voice acting rather than an actual Lion King movie. Even Elton John said that the movie messed up it's music and it was true. Man, I really hated the movie! Still my least favourite Disney remake ever
One good thing came from it. Timon and Pumba singing the lion sleeps tonight.
It Was good for kids that they showed it with real looking animals. Because I can remember how diappointed I was when I was a kid and saw a real meerkat in the Zoo for the first time and it didnt looked like Timon. Same Was when I saw a picture of a real warthog which absolutely did not Look like Pumbaa. Same diappointed with real hyenas. Also they fixed the Bad images of hyenas that they made in the OG. Then they were mostly just stupid followers of Scar, now they are the eating enemies to the lions led by a smart female, as it is in nature, and Scar has to make a Deal with them so that they help him.
If it had more facial features, it would be better than the jungle book
@@mythenmetzermewtufreund128 That's just stupid, if they wanna see real looking animals in movies ,go watch Life Of Pi 🤷
It wasn't live action. It was just a different type of animation.
*Cinderella is definitely the best, and maybe the only good Disney live action. Disney needs to not do this anymore. It’s killed more legacies than actually making it work. It’s unnecessary.*
Honestly Cinderella is boring as f*ck
It's not the only. Both Maleficent movies were good and I enjoyed Cruela
You're right. Animation has improved over time. They should do just that
You wrote 101 Real Dalmatians wrong
Cinderella definitely my favourite, no question Bout it
Cinderella (2015) is my favorite live-action Disney film! Lily James and Richard Madden made such a wonderful Cinderella and Prince Charming (Kit), and I enjoyed the increased focus on Cinderella herself and less on the talking animals, as well as Prince Charming (Kit) having more depth and a personality, as well! It's one of the few live-action Disney remakes that I think stands out on its own from the Disney original animated adaptation!
Stating in addition, both Lily James and Richard Madden also have good chemistry that makes it convincingly real and believable.
Cruella is not a remake. It’s a spinoff. An alternate universe movie with Cruella‘s origin story.
I'm shocked there was no mention of "Aladdin". Which I loved.
Yes, I was waiting for that one too. I think they purposely left it out because it doesn´t fit either group. It is not better, than the original and has some mistakes (like the main hero is overshadowed a lot of times) but it has just as many good things (the sultan, Jafar and Jasmin characters are more developed than in the original). So it is in the neutral zone and they couldn´t classify it to these two gropus - or I think so.
Out of all the live action remakes, Aladdin was the only one I actually WANTED to see and thoroughly enjoyed! I have only seen a handful of them. Most of them I have no desire to see!
Where is the Maleficent love? It was SO GOOD. The story subversions were clever and added some much needed depth like Cinderella did, and Angelina Jolie killed it in the title role. That one worked for sure.
I took my little cousins to see "Cruella" and was NOT disappointed 😊.
Aladdin: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?
It's quite fascinating how Cinderella is probably the only Disney property that the legacy hasn't been killed. Yes, there were some weakest ones but it didn't put them in a bad reputation as a whole. Especially when it comes to the live action remake which came out in the exact correct time when Disney was atleast trying to do something with remake rather than just cashing in with a soulless quality
Killed?
Cinderella and Cruella definitely worked. I disagree with you about Beauty and the Beast and Dumbo, I loved those two. I would also say that Little Mermaid worked. One remake that didn’t work was The Lion King, because there are no humans in that movie, so it was basically more of a CGI remake. If you’d ask me, the Disney animated movies that don’t need live-action adaptations are the ones that don’t feature any humans.
I agree with you about The Little Mermaid...I think it was great how they furthered Ariel and Eric's relationship...I can't tell you how giddy I was when I found out they were doing a live-action of this movie...Ariel has been my fave princess since I was a kid...I am 36 going on 37 and The Little Mermaid will always and forever hold a special place in my heart.
_The Little Mermaid_ DIDN'T work. They ruined Eric and turned Ariel into a murdered. Killing another sea creature. WHAT THE FUCK were they thinking when they changed who Ursula's killer is.
I don't think The Little Mermaid worked that much. In the original, Eric saved Triton, Ariel, and everyone from Ursula at the end of the movie. That made Triton realize that not all humans are bad and that Eric is good enough to protect her. In the remake, Ariel did it. Letting her go made absolutely no sense!🤦♀️
Forgot Alice in Wonderland. That movie was top tier.
Agreed
I like cinderella and beauty and the beast both were good
unpopular opinon but i love both the animated and live action version of Beauty and the beast. Cinderleaa and cruella live actions ate tho!!
None of the remakes ruined the legacy of the original movies. You can always go back to the original movies and enjoy them whenever you want to. The remakes take nothing away from the original movies.
THANK U 🙏
💯
Thank you! The best comment on this video! Amen!
wrong, they sure the hell did kill the legacy of the original movies.
@@metalbutterflygaming1544 I feel sorry they ruined the originals for you.
They forgot The Little Mermaid 2023.
Yeah but it’s five for five
It worked for me
That one killed it for me
@@lonellfletcher The live-action Little Mermaid did not worked at all.
@@ajpat9620
They said for them, not everyone.
Cinderella is the best remake in my opinion. It has the charm that the original had and somenthing else. Cate Blanchett did a phenomenal performance and Lily James and Richard Madden look so good together. And even if it wasn't even worthy of being mentioned, I loved the Aladdin remake. Obviously the voice acting performance that Robin Williams did is one of the best in animated history and nobody was gona be as good as he was, but I really liked the movie, Naomi Scott was great as Princess Jasmine
When I heard about a Chip & Dale movie being made in the context of Roger Rabbit, I was seriously worried that it would be bad. But I was so relieved to be wrong after watching it. That film hit all the right marks and made it overall entertaining.
So what are your thoughts on Aladdin, the Little Mermaid, Lady and the Tramp, 101 Dalmatians, Mulan … ?
I honestly don’t think Disney should remake any of their projects. I think if they’re going to do a live action adaptation of a previously animated movie, they should at least tell a story that hasn’t already been told. Movies like Maleficent & the sequel, Christopher Robin, Cruella, Dumbo, and Alice In Wonderland all are stories that have been presented in a way that doesn’t seem like a copy of the previous versions. All the others are just a waste of time
I'd definitely love to see more villain origins, tbh. Though idk if these live action/CGI models would do them justice.
Like, I know The Lion Guard gave a somewhat story behind Scar's name, but eh...I feel like it's probably a lot darker than that and it just came up with "snake on face" to be more kid friendly. Or they just slapped it in to give some form of origin. The show was actually good, though, and not just tailored to little kids like one may think; It had potty humor, but it also had a few dark moments, and even one episode gives a warning prior that it contains aspects of "accomplishing the circle of life" (aka: death) and I liked the wording for that and how they handled it.
Cruella nailed it so much I really love re-watch again and again and perfect option for me a
If I had a penny for every original idea Disney has had since 2019, then I would have 25 cents.
That's a lot in 5 years
The live action remake of Cinderella is aesthetically pleasing ✨️
Aesthetically pleasing and *believable* Not a fantasy world stereotype or a parody. The movie is a visual masterpiece.
I agree with all your picks except Beauty and the Beast. I really liked it!
Also liked:
Alladin, Alice’s both movies, both Maleficent, 101 and 102 Dalmatian (Genn Close at her best).
On the other hand The Little Marmaid terrible casting, Mulan a disgrace! Lady and the Tramp a tragedy
Same. BATB was solid
My only thing with BATB was I think Hugh Jackman would have been a better Gaston, but Luke Evans was still decent.
Surprised that the 1999 101 Dalamatians Live Adapation wasn't mentioned on this list nor in the Cruella De vil Entry. As it is pretty good in my opinion and gives the original story a bit of a modern update to the classic story.
I still love the Aladdin Remake and it’s still great for me personally even to this day!
The remake of Mulan was a TERRIBLE one
Facts! Out of all the Disney remakes the internet has booed at (side eyes to Pinocchio and Little Mermaid), Mulan's the one that *ACTUALLY* deserves it
My favorite one is Cruella! My worst one is Pinocchio!
I told Disney to let those kids go back to normal, but did they read my comments! 😒😒
I did enjoy cruella
I'M SURPRISED I DIDN'T HEAR ALADDIN, THE LITTLE MERMAID, MULAN AND ALICE IN WONDERLAND ON HERE
ALADDIN is my favorite live-action Disney remake.
Some remakes work like Cinderella some remakes blow like Pinocchio some remakes are in between like the little mermaid
In between?
@@dylansharp8471 means it had good bits and bad bits whereas Cinderella was all good
And Pinocchio was all bad
I personally enjoyed The Little Mermaid. Visual and music wise it was great and it gave both Ariel and Eric a bit more depth than the original did
‘Cruella’ was more of an origin story, but it’s great and Emma Stone is clearly enjoying herself. ‘Cinderella’ and ‘Pete’s Dragon’ also worked on every level. Who doesn’t love to watch a dragon howl like a wolf?
What bout Aladdin though? I enjoyed the live action
I don't care what nobody says. I enjoyed ALL of the live action Disney remakes. I even got them on DVD. Enough said.
And I love the photo realistic The Lion King. Enough said.
Oh look a butt licker of disney 🗣✨️
As long as you guys didn't mention The Little Mermaid remake, I'm okay. Besides, the "positive reviews" were fake. While not as bad as the trainwrecks (Pinocchio, Mulan, Lion King, Dumbo, ect), it's still not good. Although the romance is more genuine and realistic and Prince Eric is more developed, it still suffers from bad CGI effects, bloated pacing that drags, unnecessary new songs, and changes to the story that either hurt the narrative, or came off as pointless and unnecessary.
Visual and music wise, it was definitely great. I quite enjoyed it
I actually like both versions of Beauty and the Beast equally. Say what you want about the live-action.
No judgement there.
Funny I love any variation of Beauty and the Beast despite some having flaws.
(Guilty pleasure, it be. 😏)
I'd rather the 2014 French-German production
@@user-ix1rp9ff3p The 2014 French-German foreign language version of Beauty and the Beast is a poor version.
It's becoming appareent that somebody at Watch Mojo has it in for that movie. They trashed it before and their reasoning doesn't hold water.
Maleficent was pretty good ❤ so much they even made a second movie. I loved it when it came out and it was first on the trend of redeeming a bad guy, before Cruella
101 dalmatians live action from 1996 and its sequel from 1999 were imo good movies, but everybody seems to forget them
Yah it saddens me too like
They just don't exist anymore :(
Same here. I like how it has real live animals that don't talk. That and Jasper (1 of the hence men) is played by Hugh Laurie.
I love those movies and Glen Close performance as Cruella is my favourite 😄❤️❤️
chip and Dale has a roger rabbit feel alright, while it features cameos you don't expect from a Disney picture
Very very great epic list I like it a lot very very great job mis mojo and i like all the Disney live action movies a lot they are some of the very best movies ever 😊❤
I would include Maleficent and its sequel Maleficent: Mistress of Evil in this list as ones that worked, as it gave an interesting twist on the original Sleeping Beauty, as well as giving us insight into the motivations of one of Disney's most iconic villains. I've watched the 1st one nearly 5 times already, since Angelina Jolie portrays such a brilliant Maleficent in them!
I also really liked the Sorcerers Apprentice (Fantasia)
Love that movie!
Cinderella and the 2 from the 90s (101 Dalmatians and The Jungle Book) were the only good ones. I remember liking the Pete’s Dragon remake, though I don’t know if that would count as a live-action remake since half the original is live.
Aladdin is my favorite Disney live action ever ❤
Tbh, probably the only one I truly liked. xD
God, just watched the jungle book and i wasnt even here for the animation version and it was magical! How could i not meet it back then in 2016??
Beauty and the Beast is my favourite live action remake Emma Watson is amazing
Save for the fact she can't really sing.😅
@@ChibiProwl i love everything about her, her voice isn't thar bad
@@doorattachment6926 True. ESPECIALLY when you compare her to Rosie O'Donnell and other people who think they can sing but can't, and sound like a cat caught in a blender.
@@ChibiProwl That fact there of saying that "she can't sing" is a complete blatant lies, fake news, phony & made-up stories, as well as blatant misinformation and disinformation; all of it.
And also, the whole truth is that Emma Watson can capably and downright sing, you ignorant dolt.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
@@ChibiProwlThat fact there of saying that "she can't sing", is a complete and a total bunch of lies, fake news, phony & made-up stories, as well as blatant misinformation and disinformation, all of it.
And the whole truth there is that she can truly and capably sing.
My list of fav liveactions are:
1 Cinderella
2 Cruella
3 The Lion King
4Aladdin
5Dumbo
Ok Dumbo was disappointing to me, but yeah your order is the same as mine
I vote Aladdin that Worked because it's my Disney Movie starting w/ the Animated Classic that came out in my birth month November and birth year 1992. This is my opinion
Let’s hope that Disney doesn’t kill the legacy of The Hunchback of Notre Dame…
It got canceled, Iger doesn't like the original. A shame the adaption was gonna be like the live musical which is closer to the book (the new songs Menken made are stunning)
@@yaritzamiranda921Thank goodness and I agree. After all, no one could top the late, great Tony Jay as Frollo.
I actually equally love💖both versions of The Lion🦁 King!😁
Honestly, this might be an unpopular opinion, but I ADORED the Aladdin remake! I think will smiths charm brought it to life as the genie and I loved how Jasmine got her gorgeous im powering solo. The acting and casting was top tier and I like the beginning a lot! It’s a very good movie and it focuses on jasmine’s independence a lot more than the original. ❤
I have mixed feelings about it, I loved that Jasmine got her own I want song and they fleshed out some bits. Jafar is too hot tho 😂
But the big elephant in the room. Robin Williams. He is synonymous with the Genie, while Will Smith was great as the Genie, bringing his spin on the character; (Which is the only way to do it, otherwise it would always be a mediocre impression of Robin William's Genie.) I don't understand the choice in making him preform 'Never had a friend like me' the exact same as Robin Williams (it's never going to be as good) especially as Will Smith did his own version, used in the credits. This version should have been in the movie 🤷♀️ It's just a weird choice, when its our first introduction to the character, one they are pushing as different to the original, they have let Will Smith do his shtick the whole movie, but this song they do EXACTLY like Robins. Was just odd choice. I really liked Will's (credits) version and would have been a great introduction to HIS Genie 🤷♀️
Tanya is definitely understandable and agreeable 🫱🏽🫲🏻
The only live-action Disney adaptations I ever really liked are "The Jungle Book" and "Christopher Robin". I wish Julie Taymor directed the 2019 movie remake of "The Lion King" and have all the songs from both the original animated film and the Broadway musical. I would've loved Beyonce to have sung "Shadowland". And fix up other problems like the CGI facial expressions. Then it would have been just as of a masterpiece like the animated movie and the Broadway musical!
Acutually I would say Beauty and the Beast is one of the best remakes to me...
I’d like to dispute Beauty And The Beast. I loved how Gaston’s backstory was better developed and also how you learn about what happened to Belle’s mother.
Emma Watson’s ACTING was fantastic as Belle but I hated how her singing was auto tuned.
i love beauty and the beast. i really enjoyed it
Me too!
There was no proof and evidences that Emma Watson's singing performances was autotuned, and that autotune facts there was all a complete lies, total fake news, phony & made-up stories, as well as complete misinformation and disinformation; all of it.
“I Want To Make ‘ART’, Artie - & I Want To ‘Make’ TROUBLE…..”
- Estella, “Cruella” De Vil, 2021
The only thing I agree with on this list is The Jungle Book being considered Worked and that Pinocchio failed!
You’re saying beauty and the beast worked? 😂😂😂
@@heartlessstone9034 Yes! It gave us the story of Belle's mom and the Beast's solo song that we needed!
Why do we need more off all theese disney live action remakes
Mr. Krabs: * inhales *
Cinderella, Pete’s Dragon and The Jungle Book absolutely WORKED. I may have to give Cruella a shot after this video.
Maleficent was great too!
Favorite Disney live action remakes
1. Aladdin
2. Beauty and the Beast
3. Jungle Book
4. Cinderella

Alice in Wonderland
The Jungle Book
Pete’s Dragon
Neutral:
Maleficent
Alice through the looking glass
101 Dalmatians
Bad:
Dumbo
Peter Pan and Wendy

I love Cinderella. I think it worked so well because they leaned into the full fairy tale of it. Bright, colorful, and magical
Killed legacy: Mulan, Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent. Worked: Aladdin, Christopher Robin, The Little Mermaid.
At least dreamworks doesn’t do this shit.
Inb4 the same director of How To Train Your Dragon is working on a live-action version 😏
Hell, he's still on the helm and can hope it's more close to the book, as fans of the novel hopes.
Please don’t do that!
Gonna be a live action How to Train your Dragon in 2025.
I immediately fell in love with live-action Cinderella. Lily James looks like an angel, who rightfully deserves her own prince Red Ranger, namely me.
I haven't seen any of those Movies, but this was a Great Video nonetheless.
I honestly thought I heard a TON of praise for Beauty and the Beast, tbh...Or maybe most of the comments were about a gay man in a scene. Idk...Maybe it was Cinderella. xD I'm not interested in either one (not fond of most romantic fairy tale trope stories) so I don't know.
Personally, I feel like Mulan should've been up in the "killed" list...They totally removed everything about the animated movie that made it great; The fun songs, MUSHU!!!...And Mulan was just a "perfect hero" stereotype that didn't really have to work to get where she was - she was already in the know of everything. Even the villain was less memorable, and I can't even recall if it was Shan Yu or if they changed that up too! I was so bored I didn't even really bother with much of it. :/
Cinderella is the best disney live action. Everything about this movie is PERFECT: the cast, the costumes , the story, the messages. It's practically perfect 😍😍😍😍I watch it any time it's on tv. And I tell this as someone who doesn't like disney remakes at all
You were wrong.... The Lion Kng live action film was GREAT!!
I loved it!
Mulan: killed pretty much every live remake reputation
That I have to agree. The phoenix didn't even do anything or interact with Mulan
Like what was the point of getting Mushu kicked out of this movie?
@@eljordinio7647 overall it's an ok great movie. But mushu is the one that makes Mulan great so really is removing him really necessary
@@eljordinio7647 really I thought Mulan was gonna be on this list number one more than lion king
@@eljordinio7647 and I feel Pinocchio should've been number 1 bc conpare to the lion king the review are worse
I liked the little mermaid but I wish they would’ve let Eric save Ariel like in the cartoon version
I had hopes when they announced Mulan. I was like yes, finally they bring Mulan, Mushu, Li Shang and the rest to live but it was so horrible. When growing Mulan was one of my fave Disney films and it literally broke my heart when it came. Disney can't make 90's films without ruining them
Forgot to mention the Maleficent movies, especifically the first one!! And what about the Lady and the Tramp remake?? Do you think it worked or sucked??
I would say the Aladdin remake worked really well. Granted, they committed to the sin of copying and pasting the female lead and adding token feminist traits that don't add to their character, but the movie overall added more to the world building that made it feel fun to watch
"Evil cannot create anything new. It can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made."
- JRR Tolkien
I honestly feel like a more fun way of reintroducing their movies is by making that with cg technology, as apposed to the originals hand drawn animation. At least it seems like a cool idea to me
Lion king 2019 sucks
Yeah, just because of no emotion... the only good thing about it is that Nala has more lines
I kind of asked for a live action Pinocchio because I wanted to see how the puppet could come to life.
however! the little mermaid did surprisingly well for live action.
Especially with Eric and Ariel's chemistry goes, I agree.
@@AshParth560 is there any other remake’s you like?
@supermariomellish Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast are okay on my end.
I didn't see every single one of them but the least I still wanna check out Cruella and Pete's Dragon that folks said were great.
@@AshParth560 those were alright in my opinion. I will say I was pretty excited for pinocchio even though that one didn’t get a lot of praise. I still wish that robert zemeckis would’ve had pinocchio turn into the actor who portrayed him as the real boy of pinocchio and have his nose become a actual tree branch
The only ones I liked were The Jungle Book and Lady and the Tramp, never got interested in the others. The Jungle Book was actually epic, I kinda prefer the original for the nostalgia and its versions of 'I Wanna Be Like You' and Baloo (I'm a fan of Phil Harris) but I still love the remake. Lady and the Tramp was well done too and I loved how Jim Dear finally stood up to Aunt Sarah, plus I also love how the remake promotes adopting from animal shelters.
Rescue Rangers I don't really see as a remake, it's more of a sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Heck Roger even makes a cameo early on, which I found awesome. I've even been coming up with theories, like the Chip and Dale in the movie are actually Chip Jr and Dale Jr. Their dads were the ones who did the theatrical cartoons, but they had a falling out sometime after their last cartoon in the late 1950s and their sons never learned that their dads had been friends/coworkers as well.
Another theory I have is that getting fired from Disney wasn't what made Peter snap, instead when he was a kid his parents kept wanting him to grow up early and when they found out that he was secretly enjoying kid things like playing with toys they severely punished him. So he ran away and lived on the streets until he got a job playing Peter Pan, and managed to continue this career via theme park visits and such. He eventually got married (I'm thinking to Wendy) and had Peter Jr, who played Peter Pan in Return to Neverland. That was what lead to Peter Sr snapping, Jr wanted his dad to have a second chance at the role but Disney turned down the idea due to Peter Sr looking too grown up. That statement caused Peter Sr to remember his parents saying that he'd never amount to anything unless he grew up, so the two statements clashed in his mind and drove him so mad that he nearly committed suicide only to realize that doing so would hurt his wife and son. So realizing that he would never escape the pain his parents caused was what really made him break down and become desperate to gain a sense of power.
And how come none of that was brought up in the movie, and Peter blamed Disney for everything instead? Well, remember how it took Chip many years before he finally admitted to Dale that he had no friends before he met him? Obviously, both details were cause by the fact that the truth was too painful to talk about.
Don't forget to include the Mulan remake as one of those remakes that "Kills the Legacy."
The 1998 movie is better than
Well although its hated so much I was impressed by the giant battle fiel scenes which can hold up to Lord of the Rings.
I'd say Mulan killed even more than the Lion King remake...I couldn't even bother watching most of it after it started; The lack of Mushu already ended it for me, and then there weren't any songs from the movie - I think I could only hear faint music playing "I'll Make a Man Out of You" during one scene, but that was it.
I liked the movie for the animation, the silliness, and the songs; Live action lacked all of it, imo.
My favorite Remakes are Pinocchio, Cinderella and Jungle Book 🎉
I adored the original Lion King. It even started a love for animals that lead to a degree in zoo science. I was even excited that it was Jon Favreau in the director seat. What came out was a boring CGI shot for shot remake that somehow didn't have any of the emotion or entertainment of the original. It is one of the most soulless films I have ever seen.
'Cinderella' definitely worked. One film that wasn't mentioned here is 'Mulan. That movie' left me asking, "Why?"
Amazing video ms mojo of the best and worst Disney remakes that works and that fails,fantastic job. Cruella,Cinderella are the own remakes I likes and jungles Book,the little Mermaid,Aladdin also beauty and the beast don’t like as remakes. Also I still haven’t seen the Chip & Dale rescue rangers hybrid live action remake movie yet and I do I want to how bizarre it is too.
I was actually excited to watch the chip and dale: rescue rangers movie because of their old little cartoons I loved watching when I was a little kid. I never watched the show.
MsMojo---You will pardon me if I respectfully disagree with you about the live-action "Beauty an the Beast" movie. I really enjoyed it. I think it's a nice balance between being true to the original movie while being it's own thing. It didn't kill anything. Except inspiring Disney to make a lot worse live-action remakes.
MsMojo had made a lot of lies, misinformation, and disinformation of referring the live-action Beauty and the Beast as "the movie that killed the legacy", for the whole truth is that the live-action version of Beauty and the Beast did not killed its legacy of the animated 1991 original.
MsMojo have that fact entirely wrong, all of it.
I agree with most of these I had so much fun watching the Chip and dale . film last year except from the title of course because then when I told my brother I saw it he thought I meant the series😂
And knowing what happened to the real Peter Pan actor that was the kind of sad and the fact that he was buried in an punmaeked grave as well he completely got screwed over in the film industry as soon as he was an adult
I'll give Jungle Book a thumbs up just for changing the original's "Mowgli gets girly-whipped" ending.
Aladdin live action was actually pretty good
For me beauty and the beast is one of the best live actions, if not, the best
I think Ella Enchanted is a very underrated adaptation of Cinderella. I also think that the Aladdin remake was not good, and should have been honorable mention!
The only ones I liked were Cinderella, The Jungle Book and Cruella.
