As we saw with Alice in Wonderland (2010), or as we have sees
this year with the remake of Cinderella, Disney has started to turn their
animated films into live-action movies, allowing them to recycle storylines and
characters and still get away with it.
In fact, they are becoming very successful doing it, too. The remake of Alice in Wonderland, directed
by Tim Burton, made over $1 billion in the box office around the world. Maleficent (2014), the remake of Sleeping
Beauty, grossed $758 million, despite mixed reviews. We will also soon see other Disney remakes,
such as The Jungle Book in 2016, starring Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson and
Idris Elba, and Beauty and the Beast, starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens. This, in my opinion, is a brilliant financial
move. I just hope that these new films
are not bland, boring remakes of Disney classics.
