There is no doubt the live action remakes have been met with resistance and some justifiable criticism.Change…unfortunately…takes time. If it feels “forced”…you defeat yourself.
But my belief here is I think Disney is not “arrow up” and that affects box office as well. They are struggling mightily in the public/world eye…it’s a drag.
I also think nobody wanted this and maybe the gimmick is wearing off?
There is also no doubt the criticism against this one in particular is “extra,” and has a racial component unless you’ve been living under the sea and missing all the blatantly racist comments all over the internet.
Two things at the same time. One does not diminish or mitigate the other.
