If they “always” do that, then they would have done the Disney Cruise Line show for HS’s show.

Luckily, it’s a classic.

I’m not a fan of that either. It seems like every new WDAS release these days is considered a classic right off the bat, even the lesser ones.
Just wanted to point out the “recent” PatF tuns 11 years old. I’m pretty sure we can all agree that by the year 2000 when Mermaid was that old we were calling it a classic.
I don’t know if I would call PatF better then Mermaid but I will point out they serve a similar place in their receptive eras. Both occurred shortly after a live action/animated hybrid (Rodger Rabbit/Enchanted) that was the first big success for the company in many years, were the first animated fairy tales and the first real hits that heralded WDFA returning to form, both were followed by flops (Rescuers Down Under/Winnie the Pooh) and then a string of massive hits for the company.

What's the over/under on a PatF live-action remake?

I'd say odds are pretty darn good. Of course I think their intention is to redo every animated movie in the catalog. The only thing that will stop the madness is a few MAJOR flops in a row.

Okay and? (Sorry I just saw this comment). Cinderella 3 a Twist in Time is a solid film, and could've been a well received theatrical release.

In fairness to General Mayhem, that is the only one that is typically regarded as being any good.
Not that I have seen it yet, but word of mouth has been strong on that one.

You might want to choose another YouTube content creator, Channel Awesome and the Nostalgia Critic do not have the best reputation.

Tangled probably has a better shot.
But I suspect it's up there. Contrary to the animation purists I feel like PatF would have worked better as a CGI movie. Don't get me wrong the animation was beautiful but I think the shift in animation style, going against the "new normal" (POINTS!) contributed to it's lukewarm reception. Regardless, I bet the live action version would be more $uccessful than the original.

I'm well aware of the entire Channel Awesome escapades, however I still watch Nostalgia Critic. Do you people still watch films with John Lasseter's or Harvery Weinstein's names on them?

Movies are the work of thousands of artists, I choose to focus on celebrating their contributions. You tube videos have far less people involved, and are done by teams of less then five usually. At least 3 of the people involved in making those videos are tainted, so yes I think it’s quite different.

Really? Because given the amount of influence John Lasseter had at Pixar and the past 13 years at Disney Animation you couldn't tell me the difference. Sounds like hypocrisy if you ask me.

Really stinks how Winnie the Pooh unperformed. It's a really good movie.
Also when the abuse came to light those people were fired, I don’t plan on watching anything they produce in the future. Channel Awesomes toxic leadership is still in place.

The trailer was also devastatingly sad IMO, but I tend to feel that way about most things Pooh.
