ITT: Disney animated films that would be great in live action.
Because if Disney is gonna ride the train that prints money for some baffling reason, it might as well be shit that fits
Pic related. You know, let’s also fix the original in the process. Also, Pixar counts.
Mulan, Pocahontas and Tarzan. That's it.
Pinochio as long as pinochio is either a real puppet or stop motion and the jim henson company got another opportunity and budget to make something with some heart.
It kind of surprises me that people are complaining that the new Mulan movie isn't an exact remake of the animated film because it's actually doing something original and not aping off the original version like all the other films are doing.
John Goodman is not that fucking old. Yet.
After The Lion King remake, I think changing course is the best idea they have. Even if it bombs in the US, at least they have that Chinabucks as a safety net they can land on.
That's what the magic of movie makeup is for.
Both Tim Burton Alice and Malificent sucked hard and have no right to exist but I don't think they were necessarily aping off the originals.
>You know, let’s also fix the original in the process.
So Pocahontas is an eleven year old girl that stops an execution, is captured, and marries John Rolfe at 17 and goes to England in the end?
was also meant for you.
They're probably not touching this after the one by Terrence Malick flopped.

Black Cauldron?
Aping off the original version isn't necessarily a bad thing if done right. Beauty and the Beast did it and at worst we got a mediocre movie that fixed a few of the original's mistakes and kept the fun parts of the movie relevant for future generations (Gaston).
Departures from the original aren't any new kind of concept, the first live action remake we got was Alice in Wonderland which was its own awful and pretentious thing, but we got Maleficent and Dumbo too. If anything Maleficent just proves that it doesn't need to be a live action remake. If you're gonna do your own original thing with the source material, just make it into its own original product and call it something else.
Doing "something else" with Mulan is the exact same issue that aping off the original with photorealistic CG lions had in Lion King, you're removing all the appeal of the original product. Lion King's charm was in its expressionism making these cartoon lions feel human. Mulan's charm came from its mix of lightheartedness inbetween the war and hard times. But so far, all we've seen of Mulan is removing those lighthearted moments while keeping the war and hard times. How exactly is that better?
Yeah but the thing is, Mulan is based off of an actual folklore and judging from the trailer, nothing they did was accurate. Why does Mulan live in the southern roundhouses now? She's from Northern China.
Your not wrong on that one
They basically turned Mulan in a wuxia Epic that’s more accurate to the original which is part of the Chinese school curriculum, and the last thing you need is bastardize mandatory school reading.
Can you name me another stocky old man that can fit the role?
Chronicles of Prydain could be this generation's LOTR movies if they were done right
They had their chance with Mouseguard and now that shit is cancelled
That wouldn’t be enough for the nostalgiafags
There are no Amerindian actresses worth a single damn.
