In the wake of Snow White’s middling performance, Disney seems to be rethinking the pace and potential of its live-action remakes.
Fucking good
What happened to original ideas?
The Grimm brothers died.
Funny because they didn’t actually invent those stories, but rather went around and collected them (which, at the time, was a huge effort). So these weren’t original stories by them in the first place.
I know. But we don’t really have any attributions before them.
Being back the $60 million movies then not everything has to be a huge hit in order to recover costs. Also stop paying the same aging actors so much money and look for new talent.
their live action movies have all been pretty new talent. Zegler, Halle Bailey, and supposedly Avantika for Tangled. Granted there are a couple well known actors in supporting roles.
Should have been considered much earlier than Snow White.
Do new stuff Mouse House, ya dummies!
Or make cartoons again. Nobody asked for this live action shit.
CGI is expensive. Traditional animation is less expensive, but studio execs don’t think it’ll sell. And at the end of the day, nothing gets made of the execs don’t like it. Disney - and most of Hollywood’s - stance on traditional 2D for years has been “it’s ancient and nobody wants to see it anymore”.
All while the anime industry was booming in the west. It’s funny how entertainment for young people is planned by old people. Then they get surprised when ghey flop
I think there’s other reasons involved now by this point as well. Once you have the 3D model, that can then be used for toys, merchandise and video games to some extent.
Avantika 😿
