We can also thank Puss In Boots: The Last Wish for making more people appreciate animation.

I can't stand idiots who think animation is for babies which only comes out of the words of the stupidest people in the world that should not be allowed to run in any animation studio ever again. Why can't they ever grow the hell up and listen to what fans want?

I wanna hear the logic behind why one would think women dont like animation 😂

@hambone fakenamington I don't get it myself especially since one of the people who said it is a woman herself, but I think that's just the general attitude of the people running the studios now. There is space for great American animation again, but art and creativity are often too expensive and too inconvenient for people whose only goal is to make a profit. Compare Roger Rabbit with the more recent Rescue Rangers movie, you can tell just by the trailers which production had more love of the craft in it and more respect for the characters. People like Spielberg and Zemeckis should be standing next to Guillermo Del Toro as he defends the medium (which is the other problem I think, executives see animation as a genre and not a medium for expressing things)

This is why I respect the anime so much. Japanese animation studios know how powerful animation as a storytelling medium can be and as a result have made extraordinary things with it. In my opinion, there is no Western animation studio (no, not even Disney) that would be able to make an animated movie on par with the likes of Spirited Away or Ninja Scroll or even The End of Evangelion. I cannot think of a single Western animated movie that has made me feel the same way those three movies have made me feel. I really cannot.

@@l.0_quin397 so you think that by them race-swapping characters in poorly written garbage movies and attributing any criticism to racism, that they are not using race as a shield?

@@l.0_quin397 it’s often, but not always, a distraction from telling a story, because knows that the actor will catch hate matter what. Hate baiting. And I’m not against race swapping, just against using it a sheild? Hate baiting (sometimes) or as a distraction from how (generally) soulless the product is.

@@Dave102693 Soul was one of my favorite movies of all time. Amazing that Disney did not have confidence in that film and just dumped it on Disney+ (the main character was a black man). Why was that? Racism? Maybe they're not ACTUALLY progressive!

@@Dave102693 So I guess you're fine with ANY type of raceswapping,right?

​@@emhullum4120I don't know what you was expecting from them Disneyland has pride events but in China Disney act like the LGBTQ,+ community don't exist. It often find my self asking which is it. They should not have allowed to have it both ways

Which may be why Cinderella is the only one of these to really be great. That's the only one I can think of that was just as vibrant and bright as the original. It still felt like a fairy tale world.

Even tho I am not a fan of Avatar, I can at least say Pandora looks great. You would think Disney would realize people want to see colors and lights and sparkles. And realistic doesn't mean it can't take creative liberties. Titanic 1997 has a lot of well lit scenes that are inaccurate, but if they were realistic, we would not be able to see anything happening in the movie. I'd rather a well lit ocean bottom for a live action than a dark abyss that I can't see even at night without a sun glare.

Agreed I don't know why everything is so anti colour, everything looks so washed out and desaturated. Like they smeared mud on the lenses before filming

​@@blinkowarner3117 Not only that, but the Cinderella live-action actually builds the characters rather than decimating their arcs. Cinderella is the perfect combination of being feminine and strong, and the prince has proper characterization. (Granted, Charming was much better in Cinderella 3)

@@blinkowarner3117 for real, thr creators of that live-action really said "wanna watch your favourite princess movie but with lots of magic sparkles and butterflies?" My 13 year old self was like YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!! The fairy godmother was a big change too lmao

The 90’s live action 101 Dalmatians movie is worth that same respect, in my opinion. Sure, it definitely borrowed the structure of the original (Roger and Anita meet via Pongo, they marry, puppies are born, Pongo and Perdita find them, they go back home), but it played around with many things. For one thing, those live action dogs were given far more CGI expression, despite the technology being in its infancy (literally meaning there was no excuse for the lack of expression in the remake of Lion King). They also played around with the human roles too. While Roger was better suited as a fledgling musician than a video game developer, I see why they went with it. Video games were becoming more mainstream in the 90’s, so it gave the story a modern twist that many out there could relate to. They went with Anita being pregnant alongside Perdita, which was cute. They also cleverly tied Anita and Cruella together instead of using the throwaway line that they were “dearly devoted old schoolmates.” Using Anita as the vessel for Cruella’s desire to craft a coat of Dalmatian fur was more realistic. Cruella asked integral questions about the quality of the fur instead of deciding that she liked the coats on a whim. The adventure Pongo, Perdita, and all of the puppies went on was delightful too. I prefer the old trek better, but you can tell the producers of the live action film had so much fun with each scene! Glenn Close nailed the role of Cruella too, and those dogs and barnyard animals put her through the wringer! The one major thing that was lacking in the live action film was the choice to make the animals voiceless. It, to me, is the number one reason why the original film was better (number two being that the original is animated). However, that was a handicap for the live action film’s writers and directors. They had to tell the dogs’ side of the story without putting their thoughts and actions into words. That was very hard to do, but I think they pulled it off. The film is one of the very best in the Disney live action lineup. My number one favorite is Homeward Bound: the Incredible Journey. Why can’t Disney make movies like that anymore? I’m probably in the minority when I say that I’ve never seen Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland! Alice In Wonderland was never my favorite Disney movie to begin with, but with all the Disney controversy, seeing a good remake would be very refreshing! I also found the Maleficent movies very enjoyable. They were unique for their time, giving Maleficent more character than her simply being evil for evil’s sake. Unfortunately, I think the success of this series is why we ended up with the ridiculous Cruella origin story. Both were stories about sympathizing somewhat with the villains, though it’s insanely obvious which one did it right and which one didn’t…

Y’know, I was going to make my own video where I reviewed the newest Snow White remake, but after reading this comment, I realize I’d be contributing to the problem if I did. I strongly discourage anyone from watching this movies!

@@evanbarth7173 well hot damn, I made a difference in the world! Thanks for commenting you made my day

Exactly. My Mom wants to watch the live action remakes. And so do a little bit of my friends. I try to tell them don't watch them, because the originals are better, and if you keep watching the live-action remakes that's going to fuel the fire for Disney to make those soulless live action remakes. But they never, EVER listen.

About the outdated stuff, I think Warner Bros. put a disclaimer on some of the old Looney Tunes explaining how some of the actions did not reflect current world viewpoints. Disney should seriously do the same.

"Stop comparing them to the originals! They're their own thing!" Okay, then why was the 2019 Lion King literally beat for beat, shot for shot identical to the 90s animated movie? Like, they even reused some of Mufasa's lines from the original in the realistically animated version. I don't get it. Movies get compared to each other all the time. People are allowed to compare them. The other thing that saddens me is the, "Oh, well these are meant for kids. They don't have to be good." Kids deserve to have good quality movies to watch. And on top of that, kids aren't limited to the media that came out after they were born. I can show my cousin's kids movies that came out around the time I was born. There's no limitations to that.

​@@nerdoftheatre "These are meant for kids. They don't need to be good". Man, I hate that mindset too. Poor taste motherfuckers think that kids are stupid and are going to consume any shit that you throw at them and make money out of it...

Aaaaaaaall of this! Well said!

@Lilly Cat Cinderella is easily the best out of all of them.

Life action lion king. Cool Lions can talk now.

I literally read some reviews or commenters at the time go "Indian Middle Eastern? Close enough" or "what's the difference?" 😞😒

I did feel that it was weird that Jasmine was lighter. But I thought "Well, there are other Middle Eastern people who have lighter skin" and didn't know Naomi has a whole different heritage☠️. The thing is, at least it wasn't on the nose. It's wrong, but at least it obviously isn't being shoved in your face.

I think live action Jasmine (naomi scott) was american? Correct me if I'm wrong

​@@belledraws1331 no, she's British

There were complaints Naomi Scott was too light.

I'll take low-budget sequels over high-budget remakes any day. Even when they went through the same story beats as the original, at least DisneyToon Studios made _some_ effort to do something new with them.

@@SparkpadArt oh, I completely agree on that, both are just low quality attempts to make money. One is just significantly worse which are the remakes

AH A stupid person! Couldn't you be more original instead of copying people? By copying people you don't need to think! "But people do it, so why can't I do it?" You will surely tell me! And I will answer you "You can have your own personality instead of being a follower without any personality"! All that to say that I'm tired of seeing stupid comments like this that don't mean anything!

That would be nightmare fuel

Totally agree. It’s the only film that took what was beautiful on the animated version and gave depth by keeping it fantastic, magical and COLOURFUL… even the mice are cuter than any other live action attempt . Cinderella is my favourite ❤

What about The Jungle Book?

I don’t think Jungle book and Aladdin was that bad but Beauty and the beast had some problems

Jungle Book was good

@@BroZilla-vh3tuI agree (😉). Though, as controversial as this may sound, I would say the 1994 live-action “Jungle Book” film is the stronger of the two live-action Disney films, but that’s just me.

Which is horrifyingly sad since that is exactly what Disney (as in the actual man, Walt Disney) started out doing: Making genuinely adult-oriented short movies for theaters.

Aladdin sequel is already announced.

i bet they'll just remake the straight to dvd sequels they already made😂😂

Aww Faye I'm so sorry 😢 they did Mulan ESPECIALLY dirty

Live-action Mulan broke my heart. She is my favorite princess.

Oof... cant think of anything worse than that...

(Sigh) What the greedy desire for the golden touch will make people do these days.

The one with Jason Isaacs as Capt. Hook? Damn, I loved that movie.

I agree! But the movie was not just a remake of the old movie, it explored interesting new aspects of the Wendy-Hook-Peter dynamic. It was actually quite a mature movie.

The one made by universal pictures? Yes that one was beautiful and is probably one of my favorite movies

Yeah, that's my favorite too

Repunzul…

They already did. It’s called Lost Ollie

@@ilikepointlessinternetargument shhhhshsh.... Don't give them ideas, they're gonna jump on that and make it crap💀😂

There’s already a live action Toy Story by JP and Beyond and it’s actually good.

Disney made a perfectly good Aslan but couldn't do Simba justice? Boi I oughta

You mentioned thee hunchback. Picture Disney instead of Paris burning and the choir singing: Kyrie eleison! Kyrie eleison!

His racist ass should be rolling in his grave 😊

⁠@@luvinlyricsshut up and go cry in your acid filled bathtub!

It's a live action of Disney's movie. Disney made her white in the animated, so she ought to be in the live action. They already failed the live action and it has but even come out yet.

@@thecensoredmuscle563 In 2015, it was in the news that Disney bought the rights to make a completely new adaptation of the Peter and Wendy play, and in 2016 they announced that they were making Peter Pan Live Action, which would be closer to the play than the previously made animated film. At the beginning of 2023, Disney announced that the name of the film is Peter and Wendy, which confirms that it is not a remake of the Peter Pan animated film, but a re-adaptation, as previously stated, however, the film takes more artistic liberties than was originally said. Of course, I understand that the word "Dismey remake" also has a looser use and people call, for example, the Hook (1991), Peter Pan (2003) and Pan (2015) as Disney remakes and they have criticized, for example, the Hook for making Peter Pan (Robin Williams) an adult while in the book, play and Dismey animation Peter is an young child.

True it was horrible. But I didn't care. I just *loved* looking at him 😍🤩😘

I heard somewhere that the reason was they tried getting actors from Bollywood but they were all committed to other projects? If not for that one aspect it was a genuine good movie for real...

@@lindindotson1992 Jason may as well have just taken a marker and drawn two eyes and a mouth on both of his giant pecs and then make them move so it looked like they were talking. Dude was jungle SWOLE lmao

Yeah i just noticed that! Lol

The live action stuff isn’t real either! That’s just people in costumes, green screens and an abundance of CGI, which I remind you is another form is animation!

"To steal"? What do you mean?

Well they used to steal stories

Using the only two a fairy and a mermaid can be play by any race

Those are literally the only ones I can stomach, the rest was literal ass lmao💀 I'm so scared to imagine what they are going to do to Tiana from princess and the frog, Are they gonna make her a simp? Lazy?.. ... 💀💀💀 I'm terrified💀💀💀

Well, yes. They made Mary Poppins, The Parent Trap, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and several other succesful live-action movies. The only difference is that they had real talent and skilled production staff and good stories with no agenda or identity politics. Disney of today is none of that, so they cannot make great products until they get back to what they were.

Oh dear god!!! Did they not learn their lesson after the live action Avatar TLA movie?!?

@@zorgnaxthis one originally had the creators of the cartoon working on it…but they’ve since left the project, which could be good or bad. We’ll have to wait to find out.

I kinda loved animated Maleficent more, she was evil for the LOLz and that was hilarious. Angelina Jolie's Maleficent is not my cup of tea. Too much of "it's okay for women to be evil cus patriarchy"

I don't think that was what it was about. But whatever

@@ralcolfwolfcoon8207 Really? That is legit her villain origin story. They specifically wrote the scene where she finds her wings gone to mirror a aftermath of r**e. They wanted people to like her not because she's a cool villain, but because she was a woman abused by a man so her hate/anger is justified and her curse of a baby an reasonable action.

So what? Whatever. It's a good movie. Don't be entitled.

@@ralcolfwolfcoon8207 Me, entitled? Because I have an opinion that differs from yours? No, thank you, I will be entitled. You have no right to tell me what to say, do or think. Maleficent is a not a good movie.

Very good. That's exactly it. Both of those, actually. They've no real ideas besides what they've already created, and they're too afraid to try new ideas because they fear they won't make money or end up alienating whole aspects of their audience.
