Was anyone asking for this?
Nobody was asking for any of the live actions, but Disney keeps churning through them.
But most of them are still making huge amounts of money and skating by with little controversy, so they won't stop either.
Little mermaid had some controversy and Snow White is predicted to bomb.
And prior to that all of them, sans Beauty and the Beast with only a little bit, were just little blips that died quickly but made hundreds of millions easy.
They only started to get trouble when they niggerfied the leads instead of the side characters.
Aka "Why you don't let Emma Watson sing" the Movie.
There wasn't nearly enough criticism of that movie. Wasn't the Aladdin one after that? Somehow that one did alright despite how terrible it looked.
What's with Disney only cranking out shitty live action remakes of previous animated films? Wasn't animation the thing that built Disney in the first place?
The Princess and the Frog bombed hard, so they took it as a sign that animation was dead and never looked back.
It was an alright movie, and I appreciated a movie set in my neck of the country that wasn't a long diatribe about racism and "lol you stupid," so its bombing is likely just a fluke of timing and bad marketing.
at least this one's an actual new story. now they can just put out complete shit, rather than tarnish the memory of great movies.
