I have been a terrible mod the last week. I apologize, guys.

I'm taking on too many responsibilities in too many places. Barely have time to think. I completely forgot about Sunday's AMA. :facepalm:

Don't beat yourself up man. Nobody is perfect. All you can do is take one step at a time. :)

If they don’t hug in the dog pound I’m pounding disney’s ***
I'd start mapping your trip over there then, because there's a good chance that's one of the many ways they'll **** the movie up.

They better not screw up The Lion King's live-action remake.

The original one from 1994 is, no exaggeration, my all-time favorite movie, period. I love a lot of movies, but none come to the same level The Lion King does. That one's personal for me, and more so than any other.

They already have though. All personality in the film has been vaporized in favor of what you could find in an episode of Animal Planet.

I get that people aren't loving the remakes, but at least let films come out before the hate campaigns start. Jungle Book was really good and the same style of film

I'd watch that

Is it just me, or is Disney Animation Studios slowly getting better and Pixar slowly getting worse?

Growing up, Disney Animation had a lot of "good but not great" movies. There was Home on the Range, Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons, Bolt - all good movies, but not exactly memorable either. Pixar was where it was at. Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Up - those are the movies I enjoyed the most.
It's been a long time since I've seen anyone say Home on the Range and Chicken Little were even good, let alone passable. Most of the time I see people treat them as not just burning garbage but even worse than that, frequently being cited as Disney's biggest mistakes in history, as far as their films go anyway.

I did think Bolt was a solid and fairly memorable film, though. It was the first of their CGI films I really, really liked before Tangled came along.

even if the remakes are good, it's one of those things where their very existence is a sin, regardless of quality

Also Disney has already been churning out low-budget sequels of every beloved animated movie for decades. Movies like Aladdin 3: Aladdin and the King of Thieves or Cinderella III: A Twist in Time are things you know.
Ironically the two you mentioned were among the better direct to video sequels. :p
Given this today's age I guarantee the live-action Hunchback won't be as dark as the animated film. Mark my words.
This take is pretty baffling. Going by their stage adaptation, Hunchback is more than likely going to be much DARKER than the animated version. The stage version brought it much closer to the book.

All this talk about libe action remakes makes me realized on how botched Dragon Ball Evolution's moral was. Like, the main moral of that movie was believeing in yourself, but in Dragon Ball, the centralizing theme was that nothing can beat the unbreakable bond between family and friendship.

And now I'm hearing that there are plans for a Live Action MHA, the only other anime I watch that isn't Pokemon or Dragon Ball, so now I REALLY hope they don't botch that moral, which actually IS about believing in yourself.

Can we all at least agree that this live-action remake was Disney's worst?



Because this deviates away from the original film and Maleficent's very character so damn much that it's kinda shocking.

As long as they either ditch the gargoyles or revamp them so they’re not as obnoxious as well as imply that they’re in his head, then I’ll go along with it

We already have a live action MHA it's called Sky High: Eugenics are good and Kelloggs were invented to stop people deemed inferior to procreating. Absurdly long title, I know

Oh hey! They remembered she’s supposed to be a villain this time it seems!

Let’s see how long that lasts...

The stage version ditched them in favor of them basically being the voices in Quasimodo's head/the voices of Notre Dame itself.

Actually, I didn't mind the movie Oz: The Great and Powerful, because it was a prequel that didn't really fly in the face of the original. They tried to do their own thing with the Wizard of Oz, instead of remaking Dorthy's adventure, and I respect them for that

Get David Attenborough to narrate Pikmin 4
Why do I need this in my life?

Because I'm absolutely positive that this needs to happen.

The real question is:

Live-action Emperor's New Groove when???
Okay Emperor's New Groove was such a comedy and self-parody off Disney's own Renaissance films that they might just be able to make a live-action remake work.

Then again, I don't know how the hell they could find anyone who could give a good live-action portrayal of Yzma.
