[Brer Panther]

At this point, is anyone surprised?

Who else is willing to bet that they'll announce a remake of The Hunchback of Notre Dame or Hercules next?

I hope they don't mess up this scene because I really felt bad for that poor female squirrel.

I'm going to bet they will announce a Live-Action remake of The Aristocats sometime this year.

They won't. But in other news Disney is now officially creatively bankrupt when it comes to their live action films.

More? More live action remakes?

..... seriously? Sword in the Stone wasn't even that big of a hit!

It's very weak, that's for sure. I watched it once and that's enough. I even like Robin Hood better.

I'm surprised they've decided to make The Sword in the Stone live-action, as it is incredibly underrated and not popular.

The 1963 film is comedy gold, in my opinion. One of my favorites.

It may not mean much, but it was the last animated movie released during Walt Disney's lifetime. Jungle Book was the last he personally worked on, but didn't come out until nearly a year after his death.

I agree with Raven and personally think The Sword in the Stone is great.

The rumors I'm hearing indicate that it'll be a live-action remake of Fantasia next. It will only star Gary Busey, and will be nothing more than two hours of him doing interpretive dance to classical music.

Now I'm picturing Gary Busey as Sorcerer Mickey.

I really think Disney is running out of original ideas. All these re-makes or sequels of already done movies becoming a staple for Disney now. Disney has ad success with Frozen and even Tangled recently, but really most of the other movies they have released have been average at best or bombed. Where are the days where Disney pumped out great movie after great movie like The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King? Those days seem to be gone.

BH6 was super successful as well. WIR was really good too. Inside Out was also successful. The days of great original Disney films aren't gone, even if we have 10 remakes, sequels, Marvel, or Star Wars films for every one of them. Plus, with original films like Tommorowland and Princess and the Frog doing so poorly, can you really blame them?

The Princess and the Frog isn't original.

 

[Flippin'Flounder]

The Princess and the Frog isn't original.

It's just as original as Tangled, Frozen, Aladdin, TLM or BatB.

 

[Bairstow]

In the spirit of the original film, the actor playing Wart should change back-and-forth from scene to scene.

All of those films are based on previous material. They're not original.

As far as I know, Lilo and Stitch is a good example of something truly original.

I find it a little irritating how his voice changes multiple times throughout the film.

But I was replying to a comment that mentioned all of those films.

As much as I like The Sword in the Stone it always bothered me that it was called that. The sword in the stone never even comes into the movie except for the very beginning and the very end. The film should have been called something like Merlin or young Arthur. But besides that there live action film is just another King Arthur film isn't it. I mean if it follows a young Arthur being trained by Merlin like the cartoon it could be good. But if it follows his whole life and is over dramatic it will be another Snow White live action movie. And how did you all feel abot that flm? I know I know it wasnt Disney.

And by the way I hated Malificent.

I suppose you'd have to complain to T.H. White.
I just hope they don't get silly aspirations for a trilogy and overblow it to "Disney's The Once and Future King Part 1: The Sword and the Stone".

And by the way I hated Malificent.

Good man.
