Hey Christopher Robin was decent!
It was technically well done, well-acted and well-intentioned. But the moment it crossed the line by having the characters actually be alive in the real world... it became a complete slap in the face to the characters. Pooh & Co. are supposed to only exist in Christopher’s imagination; that’s the whole point of what Pooh is.
Agreed. I should have excluded animation from that dumpster. I had no interest in Raya or TS4, but I’ve enjoyed most of what’s come from Pixar and Disney Animation lately; I even loved Onward.
Disney just needs to get itself out of the "animated to live-action" remakes business, but sadly they know those make them easy money.
There is literally not a single animated-to-live-action that Disney has made that I believe to be very well done. I either find them decent or not very good. I do enjoy 101 Dalmatians with Glenn Close, but I’m not sure if I’d put that in the same category as the others, since it was released way before Disney started this train of remakes. But it’s probably the best they’ve done in terms of remakes.
The only one I really liked was Cinderella. Something about that one I really enjoy. But the others are bleh.
They've already greenlight more animated to live-action/hyperrealistic" for Disney+ (Pinocchio is currently in the works, and a Bambi remake just got announced sometime last year) . There's no turning back now, they need more Original content anyway.
The Jungle Book remake already has it's own fans.
Cinderella is unique because its a live action adaptation of the fairy tale, not the Disney movie.
I did like Cinderella. Not as much as the animated version, but if I had to pick three of the recent live-action films, Cinderella would absolutely be in that bunch.

Well it is clear the role is entirely miscast from the trailers alone. Cruella needs to be an older woman not a young 30 something with a over the top comical outfit and really bad obvious wig. This is going to be another film in which Disney ruins one of their truly great evil villians and makes them misunderstood and deep down a good person like Maleficent.
the bad people are always "bad"... because someone else was badder to them first!
