People want original stories. The recycled IP scheme is burnt out.
I haven’t cared about any of their live-action remakes so far, but I have to admit I’m looking forward to the Lilo & Stitch one.
EDIT: And I just looked it up and apparently Jumba and Pleakley will appear human most of the time. Never mind!
The only one I enjoyed was Branagh’s Cinderella. Good visuals, no weird messing with the story, just a straight up retelling, just with good acting and direction.
People want original stories.
People often say that, but box office grosses tell a different story.
There’s a difference between original story and original IP
I wish that were true but people go bonkers over copy pastes.
- Marvel films
- Ubisoft games
- Call of duties
- sports games
- Nintendo games
- Souls games
- Battlefields
- star wars -bethesda games
None of them are original, all of them are at best small iterations upon previous few. Majority of the people don’t seem to want something great and different. They want something safe and good-enough.
Eh. Ever since i saw these mentally ill people who started crying during the lion king remake, i don’t belive that anymore. There are enough people who just watch everything with a disney logo on it.
They’re reselling the IP to the next generation of kids.
Not really. Take a step back and you realize most popular movies are recycled ips and marvel or sequels. If people wanted original stories we wouldn’t be on 90th marvel movie and 20th john wick.
They’ve been recycling the same thing since 1937, nobody gives a shit
Not just Disney, but all movie companies that are currently remaking their classic movies and let’s be honest not many of them are good. How about instead they remake the films that flopped the first time and make them better. The second go around?
Maybe I’d want to see disney remake a movie with modern ideals and values, but Disney doesn’t have ideals or values. That’s why this has taken over a decade, bastards keep scrapping it every time they get a little bit of heat. Same reason the sequel trilogy was half baked. Just leave it in the fucking oven til it’s done, stop giving the whole world a view so far from the finish line.
Disney doesn’t even care to make a movie that is good enough to make money.
It’s about exercising their IP of “Snow White movie” so that their copyright doesn’t expire, so that others can’t make their own “Snow White movie” even though the German fairytale Snow White by the Brothers Grimm is in the public domain.
Well, they can but they can’t use Disney Snow White’s iconic dress, and anything resembling the dwarves, for example, or anything that could possibly resemble anything that happens in the Disney movies.
