Julie Taymor, director of the Lion King stage musical, has an executive producer's credit on this one.

One wonders what would've happened if she got to helm it outright.

She would have used real lions a la "Roar," and several people would have gotten injured on set.

Anybody remember Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark?

I listened to some of the OST, at least the renditions of "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?" and "Be Prepared". "Love" had wonderful instrumentals but their voices can't hold a candle to the original (Beyoncé should have kept it simple and not override Glover's voice). "Be Prepared" was so piss poor. It was hardly a fucking song and more like speaking.

I might see it with a friend but I really don't care if I don't. The original was just fine (and I recently started to enjoy the Broadway OST).

I do not understand the impetus behind the mass of lemmings that went to see this thing.

These movies are staples of our childhood. They’re supposed to stay in the past while we move on to bigger and better things.

Why is this generation so creatively bankrupt in our tastes???

The same reason that so many garbage-tier Disney/Marvel films that wouldn't have flown 20 years ago manage to jump over the bar and rake in the multi-millions regardless of their quality...hell, the same damn reason that's applied for over a decade now:

People are stupid.

This only means that eventually Disney will get so complacent with making so much money they will no longer even try to make good movies.

Which is when the fun begins hopefully.

There's been snippets of what that fun looks like over the decades. But to see the tsunami instead of a trickle here or there would be most delightful to watch as a non-shareholder.

I imagine in a decade or so people will get less interested in watching these movies and people may move onto other things.

Hopefully, they will come out of this drought of originality and quality and start making actual good movies and decisions (not just monetary but creative) again. Even if these movies make money, are people seriously gonna remember these over the 2D originals?
And while I'm sure The Little Mermaid won't "flop", I think Black Ariel is a stupid idea because Ariel's image has been ingrained in popular culture. Black Ariel will be forgotten about super quickly and won't be as distinct like the original Ariel. It might as well not be the same character.
 
Kids movies are dumb and getting worked up over them whether you enjoyed one or didn't is even dumber.

IDK you guys are acting like low effort unimaginative trash making a shit ton of money is a new thing.

Remember the Vampire and Zombie fads from the previous two decades? Or Slasher and Sci-Fi films in the 80s?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

At least that was all new unimaginative trash.

Oh yeah.

In the 80s it was the overabundance of Slasher sequels and Star Wars knockoffs

In the 90s, it was Disaster movies (Twister, Armageddon, Deep Impact, etc)

In the 00s, it was the "Movie" Movie parodies that basically destroyed cinematic comedy.

And then a few years after that we got Transformers, Twilight, and all the knockoffs of both. (I lol'd at them making a dark and sexy Little Red Riding Hood movie, lol)

Now it is this. The Disney remakes have become critic proof and people will throw money at it. It is the new blight on cinema. Congrats Disney.

I would point out that those trends weren’t at the expense of other genres.

I can believe I’m saying this but when was the last time you saw a comedy, drama or even romantic comedy headlining at the theatres?

There was a time when I felt starved of sci-fi action flicks and now unless it’s a completely original IP, I’m sick of them.

At least with the previous fads (with exception of the "movie" movie parodies), there was something enjoyably silly about them. You can look back on them and see something of worth, such as character because each team had their own little touches, their own little twists to try and get people parking their butts in front of the screen (sober or otherwise). They're more-or-less forgotten about, but people like digging up old trash to take a "fresher" look at them, hence the overabundance of video reviews looking back on old films that would've otherwise been forgotten or remained obscure cult classics.

Current Disney tries too hard to play things safe and by-the-numbers to the point they can't allow anything "out of line". That is what kills character, and that's what makes a film boring and forgettable. In a few years, we're going to start looking back on the commentary for the live-action Beauty and the Beast and go, "Huh... why were we mad at this, again? What's there to even like, let alone be mad about?" and just continue to watch whatever the fuck we want. It's going to get super scummy the moment they start re-releasing these films alongside their counterparts in bundle packages (like they've been doing with the sequels), but I think by then everyone will have moved on to torrenting if not keeping their old home video copies.

Also the doll and figurine models of the current incarnations of Disney princesses and Star Wars and other shit are really creepy and then they wonder why they aren't selling.
