DISNEY Classics Live-Action Remakes - The Little Mermaid opens 05/26/23

I'll preface by saying I was already sleepy going into the movie. But I did fall asleep twice watching this movie. It was an ok experience. I don't think I would repeat.

As far as Disney cartoons turned into action, Maleficent, the last entry I watched was way better.
 


After watching this I think Beauty and the Beast will be good. Especially with Emma.

What were your guys thoughts on the '94 movie? I like it as a kid but preferred the cartoon. But the technology now I think they just did a great job with this.

Murray and Walken :smokin
Stringer :smokin the voice was PERFECT
and Sir Kingsley awesome.

How is Scar Jo voice makes me want to fall in love with a computer and never be scared of being strangled by a snake ? :lol:
:smh: That woman's voice just made me melt in the theather.
 
Decided to watch this at the beginning of a 6 hour flight. Slept through the entire flight

Josh Gad is playing Le Fou?! I'm in.

Not sure what to expect with a live-action Lion King. I was happy with the OG.
 
Yah, what Favreau did for Jungle Book got my hopes up, had that sucked like Maleficent then I'd be more weary.

But damn I'll be teary eyed if he pulls off this scene right...



 
^^Is that 2nd pic a still from the film kinda looks like the beast is conceptual art or maybe the CGI isn't really complete just yet, I dunno I could be blind but something seems off on it. either way "Be Our Guest" will be lit.

Not sure how I feel about a live action lion king directed by Favreu, while I enjoyed "Jungle Book" I feel like it will be more of the same with talking animals, I hope they give it, it's own unique look, and make it easy to distinguish between the two
 
A live action Lion King....

I just dunno. Jon Favreau's Jungle Book movie was really hyped up but I didn't think it measured up..

Emma Watson is staring so I'm still watching lol

Disney's Live-Action 'Mulan' Gets Winter 2018 Release Date

The studio is launching a global casting search for a Chinese actress to play the legendary female heroine.
Disney's live-action retelling of the classic musical animated hit Mulan is a go.

The movie, which is being fast-tracked, will hit theaters Nov. 2, 2018, and be released in 3D, the studio announced Tuesday.

Disney is launching a global casting search for a Chinese actress to play Mulan.

The news that the studio is turning its 1998 animated hit into a live-action title comes after such successes as Maleficent, The Jungle Book and Cinderella, among other titles. And Disney is currently gearing up for the release of the live-action Beauty and the Beast, which opens March 17 and is expected to be one of the top-grossing titles of 2017.

The studio also announced that Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (Jurassic World) were brought aboard to rewrite a spec script for Mulan that Disney bought in 2015. Jaffa and Silver also are working on the Avatar sequel.

The Disney team saw the spec, by Lauren Hynek and Elizabeth Martin, as a jumping-off point for a more nuanced and elaborate adaptation, combining the legendary Chinese ballad and the 1998 animated film.

A director for Mulan has yet to be announced. Jason Reed is attached to produce along with Chris Bender and Jake Weiner.

Like the 1998 animated film, Mulan is based on the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan, the daughter of an aged warrior who disguises herself as a man in order to take her father's place in the army and go to war. Aided by her trusted dragon, Mushu, she becomes a skilled warrior and one of the country's greatest heroines.
 
Interesting that Disney is making a live-action Mulan.

Why is it interesting? If you think about it, it'll be easier to do movies w/ the cast being human so there's less CGI, I wonder if they'll do a Princess and the Frog live action.

They better add "I'll make a man out of you" to the live action Mulan or I'm fadin dudes......and let's try not to white-wash it Disney....
