In reply to Rachel Wagner. The only way the visual narrative will be convincing is if they can make MP Returns equally as visual lavish as the original. Even use some hand drawn animation

In reply to Manuel Orozco. Me too. Just waiting for Mary Poppins and Winnie the Pooh live action to talk about how technology has elevated the original material and allowed them to fulfill their creative visions. Urghhh

In reply to CarFan. If anyone else gets into the game soon, I would like to see remakes of Ferngully, Cats Don't Dance Pebble and the Penguin Thumbelina and the Swan Princess

In reply to Rachel Wagner. I liked Swiss Family Robinson. Other remakes I like to see are Toby Tyler and Flight of the Navigator. Pollyanna I'm not sure about. By the way Rachel have you got a chance to watch the movies I recommended.

In reply to Manuel Orozco. Yes there are so many live action films that would make great remakes like Swiss Family Robinson

In reply to Dean. I agree. I've heard them talk about how the new films are elevated and superior so many times that I am convinced it is what they believe. It is certainly what they are marketing

I’m all for remaking movies if the original failed at the box office and with the critics. That
would mean that remake can improve upon the original while getting the attention of the
public that the original didn’t get. Case in point, Pete’s Dragon. A film that was originally
so-so, that was improved to something, that while not a masterpiece, is quite enjoyable.
My issue is that it feels like Disney is remaking some of these films only to make a quick
buck at the box office. Take something that’s well known, update it slightly, and persuade
the public by using nostalgic. I hope Beast and Lion King are unique, but I have a feeling
that they’re only doing this to make money, not because they want to do a new take on it.

In reply to Milan Harrison.

That’s exactly the issue I have. They’re remaking films that were already great in
the first place. I would like it if they were to remake films that are lessor-known or
films that were critically panned. Remaking their best movies seems rather lazy.

In reply to Rachel Wagner. Trust me, if I did enjoy the original BATB and did not get scared too much, I would be more cautiously optimistic but know that the remake will not live up to the original's magic.
