Disney Working on Live-Action Adaption of Winnie the Pooh (NOT A JOKE.)

[Sped2424]

Yeah but they put it up against Harry Potter so it flopped and they gave up hope in the franchise even though it brought in huge amounts of money throughout the decade. And like you said, the sad part is that the live-action movie will make more money, which means animated ones will become a thing of the past.

2D animated winnie the pooh's films are a thing of the past because 2D is dead to disney (they scrapped all 2d departments.). So pooh was going to have to make a jump into either live action or cg animation to keep him going or tv.

I'd be happier with a CG feature. That's not saying I wouldn't be up in arms about the animation style had they announced that, but a live action feature? No thanks. I'll take a CG movie on any day.

What if this live action Pooh isn't a children's movie?

Heavy pathos in the age of the manchild sounds Oscar bound to me.

Finally, a big-screen revival of Welcome to Pooh Corner!

So why not just make a TV series? Wasn't the whole point of the 2011 movie to "bring Pooh back to his roots"?

The reason there not using 2011Pooh is because it underperformed at the box office. (I blame who ever put it against a potter film)

Exactly, and Disney can't get it through their thick heads that it's THEIR OWN FAULT that it bombed. If Pooh were CGI, it probably still wouldn't have made much money.

Same goes for PatF. It opened a week before Avatar. Gee, I wonder why it didn't make enough money? For the life of me I don't know why they didn't theatrically release it on Thanksgiving weekend that year (it had a limited release then) since there was literally nothing else major opening then. I some times wonder that they deliberately gave it that release date so they could have an excuse to scrap 2-d animation.

This is sad.

Not everything has to be a live-action or even CGI blockbuster. The allure of Winnie the Pooh has long been its simplicity and its attachment to a storybook sensibility. Keep it simple, stupid.

Oh, bother.

 

[Brer Panther]

It's almost as though Disney is just now realizing how much money films like "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and "Yogi Bear'" make and are trying to make up for lost time...

Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin are getting the live-action treatment with Marc Forster set to direct.

Titled “Christopher Robin”, the live-action “Winnie the Pooh” spinoff will centre on Robin, the adult version of the boy who in the A.A. Milne books shares his adventures with the animals of the Hundred Acre Wood. Robin has grown out of the joyful imagination he had as a young boy and is now a businessman who prioritizes work over his wife and daughter. With his home life on the brink, the last thing his life needs is the return of Pooh, who needs his help in finding his friends again. Robin has to find a way to help both sides or risk losing everything he holds dear (via THR).

The Disney project has a script by Alex Ross Perry.

This is interesting since a movie about A.A. Milne is coming out in 2017.

So this movie is supposed to be like the live action Alice where it is like a sequel to the animated film but also its own thing?

The synopsis sounds a lot like Hook... minus the kidnapped children.

 

[FoozieBear]

Oof. The new movie details sound painful.

Took the words right out of my mouth! It sounds very familiar to Hook. They've gotta know that...right?

Is there anything we WON'T see be remade by Disney?

Home on the Range. My original go to snappy answer, The Black Cauldron, no longer works because THAT is getting a remake!

2D animated winnie the pooh's films are a thing of the past because 2D is dead to disney (they scrapped all 2d departments.).

Not all. Quite a bit, granted, but they still have 2D animators; they used them for Maui's tattoos in Moana.

You know they aren't "2d animators" right? Almost every animator at disney uses the 2D for portfolios, concept art, character design, etc.

 

[Matt_Black]

If they animate in 2D then, by definition, they are 2D animators.
