now they’re making a live action moana in 2025. it hasn’t even been 10 years, disney is lowballing so hard with these lifeless remakes. hopefully ariel flops bad enough that they change their minds.

    I’ll know they are serious when they remake Song of the South. All live-action segments are now animated, previously animated segments are now live-action.

    You know what, let’s not stop there. Live-action remakes of the Don Bluth movies, starting with The Secret of NIMH, then All Dogs Go To Heaven, An American Tail, then Land Before Time. Shit, let’s do Rankin, too! Who’s up for a live-action The Last Unicorn?

      They would never do it, but I think an honest remake of Song of the South would be absolutely amazing.

      Leave the rich white people out, have the characters be entirely made up from the ex-slave sharecroppers. Show the miserable conditions, and show their escape into the fantasy of Uncle Remus.

      Maybe make the reflection of the real-life antagonists a bit more clear with the characters of Br’er Bear and Br’er Fox, and maybe stir in some revenge fantasy while you’re at it.
