By the way, Wreck-It Ralph 2 is coming next spring, so please, it’s predecessor is awful. In fact, I don’t want any promotions on some websites like Google, or Amazon, or something like that, and Nintendo is SO busy with Universal, so Universal should interfere with and get Oswald back from Disney. So please, write to Disney, and cancel that awful sequel.

The only live action Disney movie I outright hated was Maleficent. It had horrible pacing and literally every character is made incompetent, evil, or boring just to make Maleficent look like the most perfect saintly person who did everyone else’s roles in the story. Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather were the heroines of the real movie, but in Maleficent they were inept dummies and Maleficent only does one evil act and doesn’t even stay bad for any other scene. Might as well call her Saint Niceficent the Mary-Sue Savior of Sleeping Beauty.

And I could have stomached the terrible writing and characterization (I used to watch OUaT, I sadly have built up an immunity for bad Disney fanfic BS)… until the ending where she’s like, “And that’s the REAL story cause I’m Sleeping Beauty~!” I was absolutely disgusted that the writers thought the Maleficent movie was SO good that it was worth discrediting the original. The original animated classic has stunning animation that still holds up and memorable characters and music…. Niceficent had ugly Avatar-knock-off creatures and the earth revolved around Niceficent and the only memorable track was the (admittedly pretty great cover of Once Upon a Dream by Lana Del Rey). Not to mention it was pretty shameless how the movie was one big Angelina Jolie vanity project (which is why the movie bizarrely ends with a giant movie title then her name as if in congratulation). She was purposely filmed to only alluring and they couldn’t even show her as a dragon because they couldn’t not have her mug on screen for more than a minute. It makes sense seeing as she produced the thing. Bleh, it was gross all around.

Wow. I didn’t put words in your mouth. I was just pointing out that anyone has the right to do what they want but we also have the right to not like it. I completely disagree on the faeries. Anyway, we see so differently on this topic there can be no purpose in continuing to canvas it. Thanks much

I disagree. As I said Cinderella, Jungle Book and Pete’s Dragon felt like authentic artistic expressions and much more carefully made. Don’t even get me started on Linda Woolverton…

And how do you know they didnt do that here? From interviews Ive read Linda Woolverton made it quite clear she had full control when it comes to films story.

Yeah but make a fair comparison. Live action and animation are two different mediums. You can get away with spending 10 years on a animated film not a live action film where you have to worry about Actors, Directors, Writers, Cinematographers, crew etch getting old and being available.

Welcome to the year 2016. Every film relies on buzz words, social media, trends etc nowadays. You punish this film for it then you punish evey film now.

Where did I say you cant criticize it? Are you really going to resort to putting words in my mouth seriously. I said no such thing. Criticize anytime you want. You have the right just like i have the right to disagree and give my counter argument.

Sorry that wording makes no sense. Fan Fiction is named that way because its done by Fans. Not the actual people who own the film. Thats like me saying the Star Wars prequels are Fan Fiction. Which makes me wrong since George Lucas is the one who created and owned it at the time.

Whether its in the beginning or the poster. Its still a marketing ploy at the end of the day. Films do these based on true story tag all the time.

Lol well actually enjoyed that the best. Since i never like the fairies in the original film in the first place. They were annoying, dumb, and really added nothing to the story. Their entire plot in the original film is how their stupidity causes trouble for Aurora and Philip. So im glad that Remake embraced that feeling i had of them. They were not good character at all.

Also Disney hasn’t had a rated G film in some time, so I don’t think the rating really has anything to do with it. Tell a good story with compelling characters and earned emotion like they did with Jungle Book, Cinderella and Pete’s Dragon.
