With the live-action "Moana" struggling to make waves at the box office, where does Disney go from here?

      They should now make an animated version of Moana’s live action remake with Jack Black voicing the rock

    Please get it through your heads: animation is good. It can do anythong. Nobody needs a live action remake of an animated movie or show, especially since it’s all full of GC animation anyway.

    Just make animation again and take some risks.

    They should give us live action remakes, but R-rated.

    Beauty and the Bestiality: No Ass is Safe.

    Moana: All Grown Up.

    The Incredibles: Come for the Milf.

    Bambi’s Revenge.

    The Iron Giant Dong.

    Lady and the Tramp.

      Related: in most of Europe, moana is called vaiana. Moana is the protected brand/name of some porn actress.

      So go find “Moana: all grown up”, there is a chance it exists already 😋

      The Iron Giant wasnt Disney but actually Warner Bros. (Though it was made by Brad Bird who is most known for his work at Disney)

      If Disney had hired Guillermo Del Toro for the Beauty and the Beast remake, we would have had a masterpiece a la The Shape of Water

    Nope, keep throwing that money away like drunken Roman emperors. Eventually they’ll collapse under their own weight.

    But the whole point of live action remakes is so that they don’t need to think!

    Honestly I think the bigger problem for theater revenue is less the quality of the film, and more the theaters themselves.

    They charge three months rent for a bag of popcorn, a kidney for the ticket, and the remainder of your life of slave labor for medium soda.

    Even smuggling in the noms, the cost of the ticket alone isn’t worth the experience… the experience being shitty, squeaky seats, the smell of butter, cigarettes, and BO, obnoxious customers who are incapable of shutting the fuck up, and some fucking redneck sitting right in front of you with a 10 gallon cowboy hat that’s obstructing about a quarter of the screen.

    The live action lazy remakes are just icing on the cake.

      My son is HUGE cinephile, but he has stopped going to theaters. They are far too expensive, and there aren’t even enough good movies to justify their monthly pass.

      So he just pirates everything, which I fully support 100%. He’s a Pirate Nepo-Baby.

        We used to have a great cinema where I live. They pioneered the living room theater experience. The top two rows in each theater were 21+, waiters came around to take your order. Full restaurant service, reasonably priced.

        Then the owner got greedy and tried to do an IPO. AMC bought it all in a hostile takeover. Now it’s another janky theater.

    Answer: the Disney corporation will survive just fine with this loss which is a tiny drop in the bucket for them.
