All these live action Disney movies based on beloved animated classics are unnecessary and have no reason to exist. Name me one great movie out of that bunch, just o-

Christopher Robin isn't a remake and is its own original story.

cinderella > everything else

Was this the one with Obama-Wan Kenobi in it?

Christopher Robin wasn't great. It was okay at best. The "daddy works too much" plot is done to death and it needed more Rabbit, Owl, Kanga, and Roo. I admit it could have been much worse, though.

I enjoyed The Jungle Book.

Yeah. Like said it could've been better but it was actually surprisingly good for what it was.

This too, but this one is genuinely great because it's faithful while also being fresh in its own right.

The ending alone ruined this movie.

I don't know anything about the story because I haven't seen it. But unfortunately when it comes to Pooh, it has to be great before I'm willing to give it the time of day.

I don't mind the cliche "daddy works too much" but I'm willing to bet that story consumes the film in that the moment Christopher Robin meets Pooh again he is all dismissive and all "I'm an adult now" horseshit and it takes the entire movie to soften him up. That's not the fucking story I want.

Realistically, and I'm sure a lot of adults would feel this way, if your fantasy imaginary friend just fucking shows up much later in your life at your lowest moment, you don't fucking pull some cliche horseshit about your job. This is your like your friend you haven't talked to in years making a surprise visit or your dead parent coming back to life for the SOLE purpose of cheering you up and reminding you how much they love you even if they aren't real anymore. What happens here is basically a fucking miracle and everyone without exception would get weepy if that happened in real life; I'm feeling somewhat weepy just thinking about it.

I know it's fucked up to make a judgement on shit I haven't seen but I know Hollywood just isn't capable of getting something like this right. Fuck the traditional story structure. The first few minutes should be like watching the Cassie episode and when you've felt all good and shitty it climaxes and subjects the audience to 40 minutes pure Pooh-fueled happiness and inspire an insane amount of cathartic hope in viewers until the end to the degree they wake up the next day feeling like they can take on the world.

Maybe it's just me but Pooh is the purest sappy piece of fictional innocent goodness that I can think of. And to make a movie that fucks around for the most part in some shitty mire of life's realities is a waste of my time; you can literally get that in any movie. It's fucking wasting Pooh.

it doesn't take the whole movie for him to come around and the daughter was a cute addition but it isn't perfect

Like I said, it needed to be perfect. Movies have been depressing shit for the longest time.

Pooh is one of the few fictional opportunities to flip the table on depressing shit and inspire the population because he both has that power and wields the power of nostalgia. He's Mr. Rogers in teddy bear form except nearly revered across the planet. He's like Santa without the Christmas baggage. At the end after a sequence of ever increasing high notes Pooh can hug Christopher Robin and tell him to never forget to be happy instead of having that line be delivered after some stupid "telling the boss/capitalism to fuck off" moment.

It was a generic tv movie that did nothing with the characters, the only good portion of it was the beginning, when Christopher and Pohh have a little chat and you see the kid heartbroken about it.

At least Christopher Robin was its own thing. It's at least more respectable than "live action "remakes.

>He's Mr. Rogers in teddy bear form
I didn't know Mr. Rogers was so SAVAGE

Christopher Robin is more like a "sequel" made with live action.

>and have no reason to exist
Money is always a reason user. These movies make mad bank on name recognition alone.

>"The "daddy works too much" plot is done to death"
I just watched "Hook" recently and realized that movie is more like Christopher Robin than these live-action remakes.

Both are semi-sequels to old Disney properties starring grown up versions of characters meeting up with other non-aged characters we know. Both are adult men who work too much who have lost touch with their childhood self. Both are named after a secondary character rather than the main one everyone is most familiar with.

and it fucking failed. Disney is never going to take a chance in creating something original

Honestly what are they going to do when they run out of animated properties to remake?

Hook is timeless tbqh

Remake the sequels

That was China's fault.

China only takes in like 10 fucking films from the West. Even if their retarded prejudice against Pooh didn't exist the movie wouldn't even make the shortlist compared to whatever even greater hype trash was coming out that year. Like Cars 18 or whatever Star Wars dreck was coming out.

or MCU crap

wouldn't be surprised if it were lightly inspired by Hook

Alice in wonderland, then it all went to shit

I think you mean Jungle Book, then it all went to shit.

I figured the failure of Pete’s Dragon would give them a hint, but I guess not

I think this was saved by being closer to the Rogers and Hammerstein version but I don't know for sure I didn't see it

This doesn't quite cut it for me. Something off about it. I don't think it's bad just not instant classic status.

China's about to be removed as a factor.

I haven't watched Christopher Robin yet but I figure that's how I'd feel about that movie as well.

Truth

Jungle book was great

It has to stop

Alice in Wonderland was a piece of fucking crap. I was shocked at how bad it was because I had usually enjoyed Burton's movies up to that point.
