Live-action remakes

The Walt Disney company has created some of the best animated features ever made. The first years Disney only made animated films, it wasn't until years later that he would release his first live-action movie. The Disney company still thrives on great animation films today, with films like Zootopia and films they create with Pixar like Inside Out.

In recent years Disney has started remaking their old animation films into live-action like Cinderella, Pete's dragon (originally a hybrid, both live-action and animation) and moat recently Jungle Book. Jungle Book earned almost a billion dollars at the box-office worldwide. With Jungle Book making so much money they soon decided to make Lion King into live-action. Disney has a lot of live-action remakes in the works that are planned to be released in the next years to come.

People have mixed feelings about these remakes. Most probably think of them as easy money for Disney and some think that now that they have the technology to make them live-action that it would be fun to see a new take on them today. Of course the movies are easy money but it's also fun to see updated version of some of these old films. But this has to have limit, some movies they are planning are movies this generation is still watching and still love as it is, like Lion King. For me the film I mostly don't want remade into live-action is Winnie the Pooh, for me I think that the characters can't look right when they are CGI.

No matter what we feel about them they are still coming. Few movies that are coming out soon are, Lion King, Mulan, Beauty and the Beast and the Little Mermaid


It's going to interesting to see how well these films will turn out.
