That’s because anything Disney parks related gets nitpicked to death here.
Fixed that for you.

Minetrain through nature to btm, ATIS to star tours, TOT to mission breakoutI’m a Disneylander. You must speak to me in Disneyland. But sure that’s how Disney will advertise it. Doesn’t make it true.
Yes, but I will acknowledge that Big Thunder was a necessary change for the park, even though the loss of Nature’s Wonderland killed Frontierland’s depth. I love Big Thunder, but I also lament that—experience-wise—the park exchanged an epic, beautiful 15 minute adventure for a two minute family coaster. Times change. Sigh.Haha but plenty of people complained about Mission Breakout and still do. As far as Mine Train our very own @Rich T still laments the loss.
Not a single remake, IMO, has been better than the original. At best, they’re sometimes not-completely-awful.Hope the remake is better than the OG!
They are all vastly inferior to the originals, IMO. They’re not bad, and are somewhat entertaining, but none of them match the artistry and great storytelling of the animated classics.Bro you just disrespected The Live-Action Cinderella, Beauty and The Beast, Alice in Wonderland, Lady and the tramp and the other good live action remakes!
Yeah, The Live action Alice is entertaining, But it made the whole ending of the animated movie redundantThey are all vastly inferior to the originals, IMO. They’re not bad, and are somewhat entertaining, but none of them match the artistry and great storytelling of the animated classics.
I do have a beef, in particular, with Burton’s Alice. ‘Cause, Y’know, when a movie is called “Alice in Wonderland,” it helps if the story being told is actually “Alice in Wonderland” and not a completely different story that seems to have more in common with a Narnia tale. And don’t get me started on “Through the Looking Glass”….
I think "Jungle Book" was much better. But then it hewed closer to its source material and didn't try to be cute and funny most of the timeNot a single remake, IMO, has been better than the original. At best, they’re sometimes not-completely-awful.
And the OG PatF is a fine movie (beautifully drawn) with a couple of flaws. Not looking forward to CGI frogs and gators.
I think the Jungle Book remake was definitely one of the better ones, certainly helped by the original animated film being so comparatively (and intentionally) lightweight. That said, the remake in retrospect (IMO) now seems kind of bloated, style-less and forgettable. Certainly, the CGI characterizations of Baloo, Bagheera, Shere Kahn, Louie and Kaa have not left even a tiny blip on the pop culture landscape, while the 1960’s hand drawn versions are still recognized and embraced.I think "Jungle Book" was much better.

Of course the cartoons are recognized more. The remake featured animals that looked like.. well, animals. They aren't a funny sketch version of them.I think the Jungle Book remake was definitely one of the better ones, certainly helped by the original animated film being so comparatively (and intentionally) lightweight.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out Disney actually is aware that the remakes don’t have the staying power of the originals, and is perfectly content to just let them serve their purpose as short-lived cash-grabs.
It sure would be nice if all that time, money and talent went toward the creation of something original and wonderful.
Yes. And the remake isn’t strong enough (IMO) to be particularly memorable in script or visual style to stand out in its own. As lightweight as the animated classic is, it is very entertaining and memorable.Of course the cartoons are recognized more. The remake featured animals that looked like.. well, animals.

I really enjoyed the 1996 live-action adaptation of 101 Dalmatians.I can't think of one live action remake that was better than the original...I won't count Cruella because that was really something different.... There were things to like about the Cinderella and the BATB... but in general they never quite did it for me...Both of those movies had a dress problem... Cinderella's garish blue dress was so immense it wore her, and Belle's Golden gown was completely wrong period...Looked more like 1940s and way too demure... Actually Cinderella's Godmother gown was much prettier than what she conjured for Cindy...Almost like they made the white one for Cinderella and then changed their mind and decided to match the blue dress that was sold as Halloween costumes...
The other live action remakes I think have all been terrible...
