I guess CG is more appropriate than live action in this case

Either way, who loving cares? The animated one exists and it's a classic. It didn't even come out that long ago (1994). What the gently caress is a CG remake gonna bring to the table?

I dunno if giving them totally realistic animal movement mannerisms works. It just makes them look confused, or like they've been cruelly trained into bowing.

Hmmm...
I'll admit it -looks- good. But for how shot-for-shot it was, it ends up feeling really unnecessary.

Though I am really interested to see how Billy Eichner's Timon ends up being.

This poo poo is so sad. They keep turning out these forgettable regurgitated remakes over and over again and all they're concerned about is money. It has nothing to do with legitimate art or vision.

Disney is a corporation, though. I guess money is their primary interest, after all.

i'm struggling to see the practical difference between this and something like the Psycho remake. What's the point if you're just gonna make the same thing but you cut and paste different models in there. It looks like a video game HD remake. Granted it doesn't have Vince Vaughn and Ann Heche but it does have Seth Rogen and Beyonce

This is actually extra sad to me because I just watched a video about how Disney purposefully made Treasure Planet a flop so that they can close their traditional animation division and go full CG.

It has Beyonce in it. This movie is going to make ridiculous amounts of money (in America at least).

Disney wants to appeal to new audiences, not just people in their 20's or 30's who have already seen all their movies. I haven't seen any of their other live-action remakes and I'm not planning on seeing this one, but I can certainly see why a 5 year old kid in 2018 would want to. I wouldn't expect most young kids to really give a poo poo about all my favorite movies that came out decades before they were born.

You know Disney used to be really good about making everyone care about their old and new movies both. When I was a child I certainly didn't care that Alice in Wonderland was from the loving 50s. I don't know that a remake of it would have excited me back then but impossible to tell I guess.

It's funny that when Disney first started digging up the corpses of their old properties, they at least tried to do something different with them. Burton's Alice was a sequel of sorts and Maleficent was a retelling. Then they realized that they didn't need to put in so much work.

Remember when Jon Favreau made a movie about not wanting to be a soulless sellout, and then followed it up with Jungle Book and Lion King remakes and a Star Wars show?

Favreau also directed Iron Man; he started the MCU. He was going to direct Avengers as well (I presume with the never-published Zak Penn script) until the entire thing was junked and Whedon replaced them both.

Chef was more about creativity being shoved into a pre conceived hole, and stifling the creative process.

The food truck is basically what Jungle Book was. A easily accessible venture that anyone can enjoy made with love and care as opposed to someone barking at you to do it a certain way.

I mean I’m adding another layer too it, but I don’t think it’s about selling out vs not selling out:

I really like Chef but that ending is dumb as hell. The last like 2 minutes suck so hard it almost ruins the film.

They've been digging up those corpses for a long time, experimenting with different business models and seeing what would stick. Back in the 90s and 00s they pumped out dozens and dozens of cheap animated direct-to-DVD sequels to their classic movies which sound pretty awful (Cinderella 2?? Really??) but apparently sold millions upon millions of copies. They also went through a phase in the 90s of remaking some of their 'classic' live action films like That Darn Cat , Flubber, The Parent Trap, The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, The Love Bug, etc. which were mostly pretty unsuccessful.

The prototype for all this is arguably Hook but it wasn't a Disney movie.

It was originally! Spielberg developed the project with Disney in the early 80s (and had plans to make it a musical starring Michael Jackson) but then it moved to Paramount, and then Spielberg dropped out, and then it moved to TriStar who convinced Spielberg to come back.

I have a complete opposite view of Chef, minus the ending - I thought the whole movie was going so far up Favreaus rear end about how he was the super good chef and ousted, with a super hot wife and then he has the best drat truck ever.

It was disgusting and I finished the movie having wished I never saw this poo poo.

At least the grilled cheese looked good.
