With a $250 million-plus budget, Disney's latest remake will need a "Mufasa"-esque comeback to avoid disaster

      People want original stories.

      People often say that, but box office grosses tell a different story.

        Yeah, that’s not the reason this one is failing. I think it’s much simpler… it looks terrible and the CG dwarves are disgusting.

        There’s a difference between original story and original IP

      I haven’t cared about any of their live-action remakes so far, but I have to admit I’m looking forward to the Lilo & Stitch one.

      EDIT: And I just looked it up and apparently Jumba and Pleakley will appear human most of the time. Never mind!

        The only one I enjoyed was Branagh’s Cinderella. Good visuals, no weird messing with the story, just a straight up retelling, just with good acting and direction.

      Of the top 10 box office movies last year 9 were sequels, prequels or remakes. The exception was Wicked, as an adaptation of a very established IP.

      Eh. Ever since i saw these mentally ill people who started crying during the lion king remake, i don’t belive that anymore. There are enough people who just watch everything with a disney logo on it.

      They’re reselling the IP to the next generation of kids.
