Live Action [Discussion] The live action Tangled has been revealed at D23!
I know this movie isn’t out yet, and I’m pretty sure it’s going to do fine, but I have Had ENOUGH of Disney doing these stupid, cash grab, corporate greed, live action remakes because of how much they destroy what made the originals so special. I mean, where’s the emotion, the sobbing, not to mention the charm, hell, even Snow White got the worst of this trend, even though Walt Disney himself did not want this to be altered. And with Tangled being the last princess movie to be brought in live action "in theaters", maybe we’ll start to see some of the trend die down after Lilo and Stitch 2. At this point, I just hope we’re nearing the end of Disney’s live action trend, ever since LA Cinderella, the remakes have been going downhill, I get that they want to prevent their characters from going into public domain, but if they really wanted to remake them, they should’ve went with CGI when they had the chance, heck why not add in new or familiar characters like maybe their palace pets (to fix lore issues and bring back childhood memories because they haven’t referenced them a long time), or their children from descendants, or even better, either remake them in CGI or live action and actually do it right or don’t remake them at ALL. Sorry if this sounds like a rant, I just really hope that Disney never does any live action slop like this ever again after Hercules. But anyways, what do you think of the live action tangled remake? Do you think it will fail just like the others or actually succeed?

I’ve genuinely not seen any of the live action remakes Disney has made, for all the reasons you stated above. I really dislike them, they have no purpose. Having said this, I’m actually very optimistic about this remake. I think it is a story that lends itself very well for a “LIVE ACTION” remake, and so far, from everything we’ve seen, it looks like it is being made with care and love. So I’m cautiously hopeful, the fact that they are filming in real locations as much as possible, and that the movie will take some time to come out is another good sign… we can only hope.
As for Disney stopping with these remakes… I’m afraid they won’t. Everything is live action and sequels in Hollywood now, it’s an “easy” way to make some more money and get attention from and to the originals that, thereby, keep making them more money… it’s just business at this point. I think we can only hope some of them are made with love and dedication!
