    I think there's one more reason you may have overlooked: animation isn't that respected. Most people just see animated works as a sort of genre aimed at kids instead of a medium.

    • @IsaacPrinTheNerd
      @IsaacPrinTheNerd 5 ปีที่แล้ว +282

      Its never been respected. When animated movies were nominated for best picture, the academy just made a new animation category, thereby eliminating any animated movie from being nominated for anything other than best animated feature. And most, if not all, mainstream animated movies released in a year are targeted towards kids. And audiences almost always go for Disney or Pixar or Illumination, and never for the more creative but alienating studios like Laika. The few adult animated movies are either based on existing properties, like the Simpsons, or it becomes nothing but sex jokes and swears, Sausage Party, or it's foreign, like Waltz with Bashir. The only places where animation is now starting to get respect are TH-cam and the Annie Awards, the Oscars for animation. Someday, an animated feature will get awards not because it's animated, but despite it. That day is not here, but I think soon.

Also, anime has been growing more outside of Japan and helping animation be seen in a different light. It's just a shame that animators are still screwed in the industry as a whole.

    I never understood the nostalgia draw for these live-action remakes.

      @@zuhayrroha4392 So Disney would probably make a lot more money (considering there would be no production cost whatsoever, and marketing would be comparably much less) just re-releasing their original films in theatres. It wouldn't be a first. You'd also not get backlash and you wouldn't see them actively spit on their prior films every chance they get in interviews. Also, modern computer graphics have no bearing on high-level hand-drawn animation. They are completely separate styles, just because kids today grew up with computer graphics doesn't make entirely hand-drawn art look comparatively worse. When they mixed hand-drawn with computer graphics, I could see that becoming dated today, but that was pretty much only with Tarzan and a few, long-panning scenery shots in a couple of other films. The Little Mermaid (for example) wouldn't be affected at all, and almost all the other Renaissance films would still look wonderful. Though, I do see your point about families wanting to go to the theatre instead of watch a movie at home. Fair point .

      So few people seem to understand that Disney makes films for children, and the majority of people seeing these films are parents who saw the original sharing the story with their children in a way that a lot of modern children will enjoy.
      Personally, I do wish they'd make more original and new stories and that plenty of today's kids can still enjoy the classic versions BUT these remakes serve a purpose and make the business money, so why not share the stories with the next batch of movie fans, and in 20 years they'll be discussing how their version is the best and the new new version sucks!

    A lot of people forget that Disney used to re-release their classic animated films in theaters every so often, which was a big moneymaker and kept all their properties relevant until home video basically killed it. I think these live action remakes are trying to serve that purpose. What Disney could probably do is to theatrically re-release the animated movies, but add in some never before seen deleted footage or new footage like the Star Wars special editions to give people who have already seen these films multiple times an excuse to see them again in the cinema. People would eat this up and there'd be no controversy so long as Disney doesn't pull a George Lucas and make the original versions unavailable.

      Oh wow. I hope Disney never pulls the originals. Oh people would be outraged. Pulling also won't work at all. It won't work in this day and age with all the technology especially the internet. It is ridiculously easy to bootleg and pirate movies these days. People will do it, if they are desperate enough. To some extent, I can see where they are coming from. If someone has no way to legally obtain a piece of media in their location, it seems reasonable for them to turn to more shady methods. It should be the media company's fault that they loose out on sales due to poor availability. They should invest in better distribution. The best way around that is for the media company is to provide more legal methods of obtaining their products. Even if there are remakes, the original films should be made available. This is what Disney is doing with the Disney Plus streaming service. Once someone subscribes to Disney Plus, they have access to all of the Disney movies both originals and remakes. That is good. That is a legitimite way to give out the content. However I do think it is unfair that Disney movies can't be viewed on other streaming services like Netflix. To me it seems like capatalism going too far and the government should break streaming services down with anti trust laws. This situations reminds me of World of Warcraft. It is an online game made by Blizzard. This game occasionally gets updated with expansions. There is new content and tweaks to the game play. Unfortunately some people don't like new expansions. There are people desperate enough to play older versions on their own private computer servers and give no financial support to Blizzard. Blizzard doesn't like this. It shut down one site with private servers and an older version. Later it released World of Warcraft Classic. It is an alternative version of World of Warcraft that has no expansions. This version is called Vanilla by the fandom. The classic version runs alongside the updated version. I think releasing World of Warcraft Classic was a good idea. It gives people what they want in a legal and legitimate manner. That way people won't have to resort to shady methods so desperately. Vanilla World of Warcraft is like the origional Disney movies. Just because they are old, it does not mean they are bad or they are not worth attention. Both are great at nostalgia. So these are worth preserving for the future.

      That would have been a lot more fun and fitting. Maleficent was never supposed to be a sympathetic villain, she was pure evil and making her sympathetic really watered down her character. Hades, on the other hand, can be played much better and more convincingly as a sympathetic villain - he's just doing an unsavory job that no one else wants to do but everyone else hates him for it. If they leaned into that aspect of his character, it could have made a much better movie because he'd have a much stronger motivation, especially if we see him struggling with trying to be accepted and liked, only to be crapped on by his peers just because of his role in the Pantheon.

    Fifth reason: New kids haven't watched the animated versions. They watch the live-action version and then go buy the original. They effectively sell two movies for the price of one.
    Sixth reason: New movies put Disney and their brand back in the public eye increasing the number of people who see them and think about their products which in turn makes them more likely to buy their products.

    • @fat1fared
      @fat1fared 5 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      I actually think your sixth reason is the most important. Disney always slums it for while after their golden periods, and 2019 marks the end of a sort of golden period for Disney with the Marvel films, Star War Films and the last generation of Pixar films all coming to an end this year.
      Disney is probably already planning for their next big decade in the second half of 2020s, but they need time and money to set that up, so they will rush out easy money making shlock, such as these live-action remakes to build up some easy capital and keep the Disney brand in the public eye.
      One of the reasons Disney has remained one of the world's most successful and influential media corporations for over 8 decades is because they ensure even in their slumps, they are making money, and are not out of the public eye nor giving their competitors any chances to move into their space.

    • @harrisonkrauss6584

Ralph 2 sucked balls, and this year we're getting Frozen II, which looks pretty promising so far but I ain't holding my breath. After Frozen II, Disney has not even revealed what their next animated project will be. It could very well be a freakin Zootopia sequel. So we have NO info about Disney's new animated projects, but they'll announce casting for the live action remakes out the wazoo. It's such bullshit. Luckily, Pixar has two original films coming next year. At least they know what they're doing and finally stopped having a sequel-fest. Wish I could say the same for regular Disney.

    It's not just Disney, why do some remakes from ANY studio either end up successful or get made at all?
    I understand it's mostly for money's sake. But the original versions of most iconic movies are...for lack of a better word, sacred to people. Aladdin, Dumbo, Lion King, Robin Hood, King Arthur; all these movies TRY to recapture the same glory of the originals. But instead, they end up messing things up for the sake of audiences who care more about explosions and PC awareness in movies.
    I don't want to watch a movie about an idiotic Robin Hood who travels with a black Little John who doesn't even match his namesake. I want to see a film depicting a swash-buckling, cunning and playful Robin, a Little John who's as big as an ox with a beard as blond as a summer cornfield, a devout Friar Tuck who would happily lop your head off with his sword, if you touch his mutton and a Maid Marian who's as sweet as she is beautiful.
    I don't want to watch a version of Aladdin where the Sultan is a stone-faced leader. I loved him better when he was a child at heart.
    I don't want to see roided out Ninja Turtles fighting Shredder in a mech suit. I want to see the turtles actually LOOK like ninjas; sleek, agile and above all, skilled martial artists.
    But nope...the movie industry thinks kids are too dumb for that stuff. So, they gotta adapt the movies based on what's "hip" and "trendy."

      Barbie did a 12 dancing princesses movie. As a kid I really enjoyed it. Disney could do that. Disney princesses is a big money making franchise. Frozen has two princesses, and that is another big franchise. Both are financially lucrative, and they have huge fan bases. Personally I am a big fan. Imagine what it would be like if Disney made an awesome movie with twelve princesses. People would go nuts. It has the potential to be big. Speaking of Barbie, she does have a Rupunzel movie. It had a creative spin of making the Rupunzel character into a painter. This is an old movie. Tangled came out later. It also depits Rupunzel as a painter. I wonder if Disney got the idea from the Barbie movie.

    Someone posted a video recently called "Animation is Underapprcieted" That video was in reaction of the Lion King (2019).
    I feel like we are in this dark age of entertainment, where people just want everything as realistic as possible or just make movies and video games have graphics that look so real.
    Video games is one thing, but I feel this with Disney and their movies that they want to show that these live action movies makes things feel more immersive, when it simply not true, even 2D animation can make you feel immersive in that setting.
    You can say that the Lion King (1994) had the least magic out of the Disney movies during that time, but I think the reason why The Lion King was such a gold mine for Disney is because they made a movie with No humans in the vicinity, and they were able to give these animals these quirky personalities and flaws. They manage to make these animals feel relatable, and I think thats the magic of The Lion King. So really this idea of "what would be like in real life" is essentially stripping away that Magic and left with just nothing to really stand on and except boost the appeal of the original

    I personally went to the new Lion King movie because I wanted to see how they would handle telling the story I already new and love through a new medium. While I knew that it was not going to be as good as the original I was not looking for it to be. To me the problem is simply that there too many of them coming out at the same time. If Disney were to release them further apart I feel people would be less annoyed with them as it would be a better balance of new and old material.

      @@TECfan1 Actually Cruella has usually been brought as example of good villain on studies due she is perfect example of overall "decent" person with one fatal flaw. In other aspects Cruella wouldn't be any more evil than that well dressed boheme single aunt who has great career but dry and sarcastic attitude for those who are satisfied for less or just wanna have their nice little families. Annoying but not evil, like Hannibal, he would be one to be called to have nice cup of tea and have indepth chat with.
      However, there is that proneness toward cannibalism or in Cruella's case the insistance to make em puppies for nice coats. In some societies not even that would raise that many eyebrows except maybe stealing those puppies from yer friend. That said it would be interesting if Disney had balls to go bit more psychological at why overall this little deVil became so fascinated to make especially puppies a part of her wardrobe.

      The only thing wrong with Bob being at Home and Helen going off at least compared to the original is that in the original most of the family members were clearly going through their own internal struggles. With Bob wanting to be a hero again, Helen thinking Bob is cheating on her, and Violet and Dash's inner conflict with being super children. In the sequel it's just Bob being tired and still wanting to be a hero and Violet still having boy troubles.

    • @Lauren_210
      @Lauren_210 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The thing is that Lion King 2 was more of a love story while the original was a coming-of-age story. Therefore, that is why Lion King 2 focused a lot more on Kiara and Kovu's romance throughout the film given how crucial it was towards the plot while in the first movie, Simba and Nala's romance was more of side element but you still buy their genuine chemistry and that they were childhood friends (which we also got to see during the first half of the film).
