The thing that I've never understood about the live action Disney remakes is how they manage to make them so fucking shti lmao.
They're not even changing anything like they're just copying and pasting the original movie into live action there's literally zero risk to this and yet they still somehow manage to fuck it up 90% of the time and even when they do make a change it always ends up being pointless or a genuinely awful decision that just makes the movie worse for no reason.
Why does Nani give up guardianship of Lilo so that she can attend college in California? Why doesn't Jumba have his iconic vaguely Russian sounding accent? Why didn't they let Jumba and Pleakley be gay uncles? Why is Bubbles so shit? AND WHERE IS CAPTAIN GANTU????
That was all just one film but there are so many more examples I could mention like I fucking hate that in the Little Mermaid remake they made the seagull Awkwafina and gave her the worst fucking song in the history of anything. Disney cooked exactly one time by making King Louie a Gigantopithecus Christopher Walken in the Jungle Book remake and then immediately lost their ability to cook.
If they're going to keep making these then they should be looking at One Piece for tips on how to make a good live action adaption. It's fun, colourful, makes appropriate changes, involves the original creator, and isn't ashamed to fully embrace the spirit of the original anime/manga.
I have this low stakes conspiracy theory that Disney has become resentful of their status as an animation company ever since they bought Marvel and Star Wars because they want to be taken seriously like all the big boy studious and see their animation roots as an obstacle to that.
It's as if they think they're somehow better than the movies that made them successful purely because they're made for kids.
Looking at these two posters gives me the vibe that they're quite happy to have the branding and recognisable IP that comes with their animated films but don't want animation to be the main thing they're known for, y'know? I think If it was up to them characters like Stitch would be nothing more than a mascot that you only ever see in Miniso shops on like a water bottle or something rather than in a whole ass movie.
I'm not saying they're purposefully sabotaging their animated films, but what I am saying is they certainly don't seem as interested in them as they once were and that neglect is clearly showing on screen with the quality decline in their recent originals and the complete lack of originals coming out of Pixar who seem to be solely focusing on sequels that they know are guaranteed to make them money.
All that being said I think they will eventually get back to releasing good original animation as the demand for live action remakes and MCU hype begins to fizzle out.
Don't forget that Lilo & Stitch came out during the post-renaissance era when Disney was pumping out bad live actions movies and their animated films were pretty hit or miss so it's not like we haven't been in a similar situation before.
Don't watch the new Moana remake it looks like dog shit and the Rock is a prick.
Goodnight Tri-state area.
