From Beauty and the Beast to Aladdin, The Lion King, Mulan and now The Little Mermaid, it seems there’s nothing Disney won’t rehash and remake in their endless quest for money. But are people getting a bit sick of it now? Will it ever stop?

80s is the golden age for pop culture
I think I find the way they use the skin tone switch as bait to be one of the more disgusting things about this. If they weren't screwing up all their remakes and this decision just happened to come about organically, that would be fine, but we all know that isn't the case.
This isn't empowering minorities–it's exploiting them for brownie points. I won't be surprised when the trailer for their next terrible remake is just looping footage of Bob Chapek holding kids of random ethnicities (primarily US minorities, maybe Slavic groups to mix it up) at gunpoint while simply repeating the words "watch it or else, buy it or else; consume or else".
On the bright side, we might finally get to see intellectual properties start to become public domain in a timely manner as Disney's iron grip on copyright law continues to weaken.
When force diversity becoming insulting to 99% of the planet population who still believe swapping lead race was a moronic & retarded idea
Drinker, review one of these please:
I Know This Much is True
Kidding
The Good Place
Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind
Very curious to know your spin on them.
Just wait until there are remakes of remakes
Disney still have to make the Indiannette Jones movies – and believe me, they will.
Last 2 min reminds me of 1984.
I don’t friggen get it. Tiana is a character whose race isn’t totally important to who she is. She could honestly be any race and the story would still work. However, realistically she would most likely be black. Same goes for Ariel, she could potentially be anything, but would most likely be danish (white). Regardless, the race of a character is what the creators of the story chose. There is no good excuse to change the race of a character of a fictional story.
FYI as an industry professional , who quit the film and TV industry this year because of the mess it’s in, I’ll give you some insight.
The western industry and especially Hollywood is on the verge of collapse. Most of the major studios are insolvent but won’t admit it, and most of them cannot afford to take any risks at all. ( see Tom Cruises recent rant on the mission impossible set for an example)
Ultimately they’re all shitting themselves and virtually cannot cope with any box office failures.
I’m surprised that studios haven’t already gone into liquidation.
Ask any post production professional what their salary was in 2000 and what it is now and you’ll find two things.
It’s halved and the skill set required is ridiculous and no time to do it in.
I could give countless examples of production values dropping dramatically across all budgets.
The only place where cinema seems to be doing well is South Korea , Scandinavia and India. Outside of that it’s in deep deep trouble and NO ONE wants to talk about the elephant in the room
Just look into Disney's 'Sunflower' character if you want to put their racial virtue signaling into perspective. Its a company that was racist when it was profitable to do so and is now woke when its profitable to do so.
The most coherent and sensible drunkard I've ever seen. What a wonderful gem you are for me to have discovered for a midnight binge
A wise man once told me "if you fear your streaming service might pull off the media you're consuming, fear not torrents are there to save the day."
6:26 bro monsters inc was iconic, what u talking about. they dont make animations like that anymore
"Would it kill them to release a traditionally animated film for once?" Sorry mate you're asking for way too much, it's never going to happen. Traditional animation is viewed with sheer hatred from hollywood and has been dead and underground for a long time and will likely never come back. Even Japan is seeing CGI films being made and slowly replacing traditional animation.
THe original Disney days, back when Walt was in charge, the movies were created with passion. It wasn't about the money to Walt. Sadly, the company is a shell of what it used to be.
That being said, the physical media is harder and harder to acquire. I try to buy them when I can, but sadly, it's finding them. You don't buy them right away, they disappear (I got lucky and got the Lion King some years back, but would love more)
I'm still waiting for the outcry over Red's character in The Shawshank Redemption not being played played by a red haired Irishman.
Perplexing how it's taking so long.

You do understand that 100% of Disneys content is remakes>? the first little mermaid was a remake.
Next: Snow White being Mexican and a lesbian for money, I mean diversity.
Disney your fucked, change up now before the world turns their back
I learned from what they did to ET that if there is a movie or show that you really love then buy the physical form. Then it doesn't matter if they twittle with the digital form.

Fuck this film. Bring one starring Andrew Ryan in Bioshock: Rapture 😀
Deliberately stirring up controversy and division is the whole point, but you know that
They're going to loop around full circle with animated remakes of the live action remakes. Mark my words Fam.
Did not know what movie that new image of Ariel was from when I first saw it. But I figured she was in a dungeon waiting to be tortured.
What ever happened to originality? Just like the remake of Steel Magnolias. It just didn't work. It would be like white women trying to remake the HELP. Which was the best movie ever.
And again this conspiracy that Hollywood is simply replacing white people and pushing transgenderism and homosexuality simply as a way to explain away their bad reviews is the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard and completely excuses hollywood, they aren’t doing it for money or for reviews they are pushing an agenda and they are purposely trying to erase white people from media which is extremely powerful and controls hearts and minds. Critical is a basic bitch gatekeeper who is too afraid to address the fact that whites exist matter and are being replaced
Oh yea Race is just skin color and it doesn’t matter that they’re replacing all these established franchises that have European actors and characters because race doesn’t matter and it’s just skin color or something. Basically European people don’t exist and they aren’t allowed to have their own movies or stories made about them, critical would have no problem if they remade every movie and replaced everyone with black people as long as it’s a good movie that people can sit around eat popcorn get fat and do nothing to. This constant virtue signaling by critical that he doesn’t see race and doesn’t care about it makes him just as bad if not WORSE than the people making these films, basically saying that white characters and people are disposable so long as they have good writing and diologue, never mind that white people are being replaced in their own homelands and being attacked and having their culture destroyed at every turn the only real thing that matters is muh good zogbox tv!!!
Disney is shit
