> He told us he didn't want to see it because they(Disney) were just taking a 2D movie that he'd already seen and are just doing the same thing again with actors to make more money
On-point... next one on the pipeline is "MULAN" Cartoon to Real Human.
News flash, all major motion pictures are created "just to make money". I like the Disney animations and rather enjoy the live action remakes.
I also enjoy remakes of classic movies. It doesn't appear that I am alone.
But what is the criticism really? That they are making something they know lots of people will like?
It's not like a remake is any less effort than an original.
Even the script has to be rewritten and I would guess it takes even more effort to come up with a rewrite that doesn't stray too far from the original.
