Literally the only person I know who liked the first one is a disney adult who also loved the new Mulan. Absolutely bonkers this is getting made.

The Mufasa one will probably bomb at the box office. People are starting to get bored of the live action soulless remakes

Disney adult... Person... Make up your mind

It is wild to me how well they have done at the box office. They just kept getting worse and people have only recently stopped going to see them. I wonder if hese do poorly after release, but are big events in the short term.

A huge amount of people go to see Disney stuff in theatres because they feel like they're supposed to. Disney has done a great job creating a sense of their stuff being a mandatory experience to keep up with pop culture

They have had lots of misfires though. Has anyone even heard of strange world? Even going back to the original lion king, they used to release lots of straight to video sequels. Cheap to make, high margin.

As you say, they have monopolised children's entertainment very successfully. Even with inside out 2, they have taken the character and made them older so the original target audience of viewers can follow the arc personally.

Kids these days wanna see them, parents want them to shut up already

Lol, you think the companies throwing billions at AI give a shit? It's only going to get worse from here..

I would hope that stakeholders care about the movies bombing

Ok I have to ask. Are you trolling and is it actually a porno cartoon parody?

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's legit:https://screenrant.com/snow-white-live-action-remake-filming-wrap-zegler-update/

Is it just me or does that look creepy AF?

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 1 points 4 months ago

Creepy to me

πŸ˜† Sorry no, thats the only officially released photo so far.

[–] UntitledQuitting@reddthat.com 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

surely this is straight to d+ because that has to be the worst cinematography i've seen before.

Straight to you, from the makers of Stagnetti's Revenge...

I forgot all about that. Wasn’t it supposed to come out like four years ago?

Edit: looks like it was announced in 2016 and started filming in 2022. That’s probably why I was thinking it was supposed to come out so long ago.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 months ago

is it really live action if its cgi?

[–] Stereotype_Be@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

I tried watching the remake of The Lion King a few years ago. I didn’t make it through the first song. I wish Disney would try something new instead of reboots, remakes, sequels, prequels, and spinoffs.
