Something new doesn't tarnish your memories. If you prefer the old, watch it. Can't blame Disney for recycling their IPs.

You should recicle your IPs, or you'll get to a point in time where all the IP pool is used and there are none available.

Well, he got there by making 2007 style YouTube Videos, which is what it needs because not everyone has Rocket Jump skills.

I hear they're remaking Top Gun. Maverick and Goose are female, and they beat up two men in a bar fight using nothing but their training.

Uhhh psych, Jon Favreau on Jungle Book was amazing and I'm beyond hyped for his Lion King. It's not time to stop.

Are you also looking forward to Aladdin? That was always my favorite growing up, and I'm scared for the remake.

I like the names attached to it, it definitely has a good chance to be good.

Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast were commercially successful. It's all the reason they need.

and all and all good movies as well (according to reviews). I don't really get the hate, those are kids movies, you don't have to watch them

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Why should they stop? It's their product, and if ppl watched it then that means they wanted it.

What did they announce now?

Marry Poppins

This was announced years ago and it's not a remake, she's meeting the children of the kids in the first film.

You wish you married Poppins. Let people enjoy things.

Is it going to follow the source material or just be a remake of the 1960s one?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

A sequel I think

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I thought the author hated it and refused any more being made? Has it been long enough?

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Seeing as she's been dead since '96, I'm sure she'll have little to no objections

Isn't it a sequel

True Disney fans get hyped no matter what... even if the movie is mediocre, Disney is always genius.

As a self-proclaimed supervillain, I both envy and admire Disney. Remaking classic films with zero changes and getting everyone to see it?

Plus you already own the copyright, so why buy something new? It's like printing money.

At least Disney is remaking cartoons into live action.

It’s the money generated from these remakes that allow for original movies to be made. The big movies just overshadow the original movies.

Considering Disney is primarily in the business of releasing original works and sequels/prequels, not outright remakes, I'm skeptical.

"That one's ok." but I felt it was a bit ambiguous.

One remake they should be striving to do

For the money of course. You'll always have people going to see it.

No, why should they stop?

Because it supports a tradition of mediocrity in entertainment. Nothing is original. No one has new ideas, just remakes upon remakes.

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 15

(1)A lot of Disney movies aren't even original to begin with. A ton are based off books that weren't originally affiliated with Disney

Frozen, Moana, Up, Zootopia...

Have you even seen the remakes? They're freaking awesome. And I was born in the late 80's so I know what I'm comparing here

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

it's called keeping your copyright. why do you think they did this with Spiderman.

(2) Hell even Lion King is hugely inspired by Hamlet.

But it's not just Disney, the entire industry is stagnating. Almost no films or tv shows are original ideas it's all the same.

It's human nature to re-tell the same stories. There are so many other movies out there anyway, I can't see it as such a bad thing.

Wel the problem we're having is we've done just about everything since cinema first appeared

I think it's a good thing, we will get a new way to shoot/make movies. It's when people start losing money is when they try to innovate.

You can blame a LOT of that on Disney. Because of them, it takes fucking forever for anything to enter public domain. Originally, (1/x)

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Originally, copyrighted stuff entered public domain around 65 years after it was published, long enough for the creator to profit off (2/x)

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

it for most/all their life. Disney changed that when Mickey was about to enter public domain. Now, stuff doesn't enter public domain (3/x)

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Until 70 years after the creator of a thing dies. They did this, ruining our ability to draw from the works of the modern past, just so(4/x)
