  • They should remake the stuff that is problematic and fix it. Give us a Pocahontas that doesn’t glorify John Smith’s lies and shows her as a child (historically accurate). Give us an Aladdin that actually shows Arab culture, not mixing together every brown culture together as if it is the same thing, and base it on real Islamic history and realist worship to fight Islamophobia. That could actually have a purpose. Hunchback of Notre Dame that accurately shows Romani culture, Sleeping Beauty where Aurora is given more screen time or more to do (maybe she can be dreaming or something), Mulan where they actually do their research. Fix the things that are actually issues, don’t double down on previous mistakes.

    if there was one Disney movie that deserves a Remake it would be the Black cauldron. just adapt all of Lloyd Alexander's work and make it a trilogy or whatever in theatres or Disney+. it could have been the company's lord of the rings

    I definitely think another reason people don’t seem to like 3D as much is that they automatically perceive it as “Lazy,” because of the reasons you mentioned with models and stuff. Then when a 3D film like Spider-Verse comes along that is more varied than just base 3D, people perceive it as having more effort put behind it. I think 3D has the potential to be a lot better looking than 2D, just if the right amount of effort is put behind it. Because it is a reality that studios do use 3D as a cost cutting measure, since 2D is usually much more expensive, which does sometimes make the end product worse because of it. So I think if Disney took the time and budget that it would take to make a 2D or live action movie, and instead remade their classics in a 3D setting, it could make for some great versions of the films. Especially with movies like Snow White and Peter Pan, where large chunks of the plot really need to be fine tuned. And live action ain’t the way to do it Great video covering the topic, though. First time I’ve ever been mentioned in a patrons section for a channel!

    I would love to see a Sword in the stone remake about Merlin's past. Did he had a family? How he met Archimedes and became a sorcerer? This could start with his life then end when he met Arthur. Sounds like an interresting plot to me! Add some drama, action and comedy; i think i can made a good movie 🙂 One about Atlantis when we saw Milo and his grandpa as well as the old man's adventure would be fun!

    Very hot take you have put out on the internet.
  • I disagree strongly. :/ The reason is because we don't need any remakes at all. I don't care if they're in traditional 2D animation, 3D animation (if it's actually animation, more on that a few lines below) or live action. I don't want any remake at all. The problem with Disney is that Bob Iger is so used to buying stuff and remaking films and making sequels and spinoffs and reboots ... that he doesn't know to create new things or innovate. The greatest films in history were made taking a leap of faith, maybe using some previous source as inspiration, but that's about it. And I don't care if a film is in 2D, 3D or live action, if it looks and sounds appealing I will watch it. My personal problem with 3D nowadays is the focus on hyperrealism. I much preferred when 3D was more cartoony and imaginative, like in Wreckt-it Ralph, Ratatouille or The Incredibles, because, if it's so hyperrealistic, as Lightyear, what's the point of using animation AT ALL? Just make it in live action and be done with it. One thing I agree with you is that traditional 2D animation can perfectly well coexist and be combined with 3D elements: I'd have loved a style like Sergio Pablos' Klaus for Disney's Wish: traditional 2D animation aided with 3D for lighting, backgrounds or duplicates. I mean, if a small Spanish studio can create a visual masterpiece like Klaus, what the hell is Disney's excuse with Wish? TL;DR; no more remakes at all. Nor soulless, selfish and childish cashgrabs like Wish. Make actually good, interesting and heartfelt original films, in whatever medium available on the planet. If it is genuinely good and interesting, I will watch it, whever in traditional 2D animation, 3D animation (if it's not hyperrrealistic), live action or a combination of some of them. Nevertheless, very interesting take and good video. <3

    Wish needs to be remade into a better film. That's the only Disney film that needs to be fixed.
  • @pumkin610
    Disney can retire. They did their amazing thing, now I don't think they can, or that a copy paste of the old format would even work in the modern day.
  • The only remakes we need are that of the great mouse detective. The movie is horse shit. And so is every other movie except the lion king which is absolute perfection! ⭐ and so is puss in boots the last wish!
  • @DTiSthimself
    8:26 THANK YOU! I’m tired of people pretending this movie is amazing
  • @DTiSthimself
    I want to just talk about remakes in general worry remake a good movie that was already good I think remix should be focused on things didn’t work but had good concepts, but I know they won’t do that Cuz money is the only thing that matters
  • @tropicalcoast02
    This take at 8:07 is… uhh… umm… So, I wanna be clear I respect your opinion and I think your criticisms can hold weight (I said I think because I don’t know how to feel about it), my problem is that I don’t understand your explanation on why people like the movie. I thought the reason people like The Last Wish is because it has a good story, it was entertaining, and the messages conveyed throughout the story were beautiful, not because of what you said in this section. Now, I don’t have twitter or seen too many reviews of the movie so I could be wrong. But I have seen yt reviews and comments on said reviews and thought I got the gist on what most people were liking about the movie. Again though, I could be wrong, so is really true that that’s the reason why it’s liked and I was just stranded in a land of illusions?

    Thank you, for your video! Finally someone who doesn't shit on 3D because of nostalgia. I love 2D animation, but we've gotta admit, it's old-fashioned. No one cares what weebs or animation nerds say, technology is gonna change, like when cel animation was replaced by xerox and then digitally painted animation. As for Wish, I'm so upset that people just shÂĄt on this amazing movie for being 3D. The studio tried a new animation style, just like you asked, it made a new original movie, just like you asked, and you're still ungrateful because it wasn't 2D and didn't tie the scrapped concepts that don't work with the plot of the movie into it. Oh, of course, we can't forget homophobes(who have nothing to complain about, but still complain) and racists. When Puss in boots or spiderverse did the 3D with 2D elements it was "revolutionary", but when Wish did it it's "unimaginative and boring". I do like puss in boots, I just hate the aggressive fan base.
  • we need a remake to little mermaid 2, that movie deserves-NO, NEEDS a 2nd chance, i want to see more of melody
