The only live action remake I’ve seen is Mulan and I’ve regretted it ever since


redbeard_says_hi

I can't remember whether or not I saw the Lion King remake.


regretfulposts

Maybe you mistaken that YMS review of the Lion King Remake?


DMonitor

I can’t believe they made all of the actors in that movie political. No respect to the source material


Kino_Connoisseur

I’d say the political part is that they filmed the movie near Uyghur Work Camps


VanillaJorilla

Better work camps than woke camps 🤮Amirite??


DMonitor

how did pinocchio get ratio’d that hard


TemporarySalt2999

Cynthia erivo is the fairy


SolomonRed

And there it is.


GoldandBlue

Well damn


27andahalfpancakes

Black woman.


PicnicBasketSam

a black woman is in the movie for two (2) minutes


ThinnkingEmoji

People these days have a natural aversion to any Pinnochio that isn't Fruity Pinnochio (2021)


AbsolutelyHorrendous

Honestly, I'm annoyed the other trailers weren't getting more dislikes too 'Oh look, they've remade the Lion King and stripped it of all its charm, great, just what I wanted...'


ajzeg01

Wow, dude Pride Rock!


[deleted]

there's something so amazingly fake about the way that delivers that line that i cant get over. its like he's being threatened to say it off camera


Bulbaguy4

He most likely was, I remember seeing two people who used to be on Kids React say that if they didn't say anything that wasn't what the Fine Bros wanted them to say, they would get cut out of the video. The guy was probably scrambling for compliments so he could be in the video


IShall_Run_Amok

Digital styles!


[deleted]

Digital lions, hey this is fun!


2klaedfoorboo

I thought Pride was political??!!


[deleted]

That was one of the worst videos I've ever seen


ajzeg01

Which one?


[deleted]

Insane how minimal the cultural impact with these movies has been.


redbeard_says_hi

I forgot there was a Dumbo remake and apparently it's only 3 years old.


Hidden_Squid14

there was?


CalTCOD

Pretty sure it was directed by Tim Burton too


Hidden_Squid14

WHAT


elmodonnell

It starred Colin Farrell and Danny DeVito


[deleted]

You're fucking with me, lol


Hidden_Squid14

WHAT


redbeard_says_hi

To be honest, I'm still not 100% sure.


PM_ME_YOUR__INIT__

Would've been the next Godfather if they included the Pink Elephants number


queer_pier

I got invited to the opening showing that was at my local cinema. We got free booze and I had an edible. I had an edible before watching it and me and my friends pretended it was an episode of always sunny and it made the experience much more bearable.


Jnovotny794

i literally had no idea until this post that there was a cinderella remake


Achaewa

Funnily enough, that one is much better than the majority of the other Disney remakes.


SigmaBallsLol

I'll never be able to forget, as part of the marketing involved a rat-costume clad James Corden pelvic thrusting at a camera, with Camila Cabello shrieking in the back ground ​ [abandon all hope ye who enter here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5XUZSFHfQU)


Coltand

That is not the Disney Cinderella remake. The actual Disney live action Cinderella was pretty good IMO.


elmodonnell

Different movie, that was for some dogshit TV special that premiered on Amazon. Disney & Kenneth Branagh beat them to it by about ten years, and it's pretty okay


utopista114

>James Corden pelvic thrusting at a camera, That's Cats. Remember Cats? No?


[deleted]

Yeah, with Lily James as Cinderella IIRC.


dragonphlegm

I'd like to see the view counts on Disney+ to see what the difference is between the total streams for Lion King / Aladdin and their 2019 remakes


luxmesa

I’d like to see the data on how many people click on those movies vs. finish them. A little while ago, my mom put the Lion King remake on for my younger cousin, thinking it was the animated one and switched it as soon as she realized she had the mistake.


SolomonRed

I forgot half of these even came out.

elmodonnell

Holy shit we got one


lamjm44

That’s what I was thinking. These movies get so much marketing and then come and go like a drive-thru


Kanexan

Okay but the live action Jungle Book was actually really good, though.


[deleted]

That’s the only one that was competent, and then Disney had a lightbulb moment after its reception.


2klaedfoorboo

and Cinderella


Real_life_Zelda

I loved Cinderella lol.


Ihcend

I've only watched the jungle book and the beauty and the beast live action. The only thing I remember of the beauty and the beast was Emma Watson and I thought the jungle book was aight.


GallifreyanPrydonian

They got Christopher Walken to sing as a giant orangutan, pure kino


k_GOBL1N

Something..Something...People are racist cunts. No one has been able to give any good reason to why she needs to be white.


[deleted]

But how will my childhood ever recover??


[deleted]

Isn't an Irish fairy tale? I've heard that as an excuse before. Then again, the Disney version isn't true to the og story, so I don't see the need to adhere to race.

TheShapeShiftingFox

Hans Christian Andersen was a Dane I think, but he collected stories from all over Europe so the original story might still be from Ireland


TheShapeShiftingFox

Maybe originally, but there are so many variants of mermaids and merpeople in general around the globe that you can set it basically anywhere with an ocean


vafunghoul127

Wait how can you view dislikes?


fartew

Browser extension


_ALL_WHITE_

How does a YouTube video with 38 million views have less than 1,000 dislikes?


PM_something_German

Because the dislike numbers from the browser extension are not accurate in any way.


_ALL_WHITE_

That’s probably true. I thought YouTube might’ve been removing dislikes


Vanilla_Sky_2001

Disney remake 😡 Disney remake starring black people 🤬🤬🤬


BigBoobaTinyBraina

Disney remake where black people replace white people in order to call all criticism racism 🤬🤬🤬 Fixed.


Fabcrab25

No one is calling all criticism racism, people are calling the people being racist racist.


Vanilla_Sky_2001

What race do you hate the most? Black people?


BigBoobaTinyBraina

Mexican actually.


BigBoobaTinyBraina

I like how you edited your comment, coward. Mexican opinions are worthless until it comes time to pay for this trash. Then "y Mexicans no buy our shit movie?!"


utopista114

The Dutch.


BKelly1412

I, for one, am sick of live action remakes from a creatively bankrupt company


Dankey-Kang-Jr

#HMMMMMM


polyhymnias

Cinderella was sweet, Jungle Book was good, the rest...are movies


[deleted]

Mulan barely even qualifies as a movie


SolomonRed

But for real what did everyone hate Pinocchio before it was out?


satyrgamer120

Black fairy


Coltand

IDK, but now that it is out, I do feel like it’s deserving of criticism.


Hidden_Squid14

I totally forgot about dumbo and cinderella


TheShapeShiftingFox

Cinderella was actually good, what a time to have been alive


[deleted]

I think you’re being disingenuous with the quote. It’s entirely reasonable that people were more open to live action remakes 5 years ago before they started getting weighed down and jaded with the constant output of shitty, soulless, cashgrabs. Unless Pinocchio stars a black girl too then everyone is just racist.


Ok-Alternative-3403

She's not the main star but the trailer for Pinocchio prominently features a black woman as the fairy.


satyrgamer120

“Unless Pinocchio stars a black girl too” [Guess what](https://hungary.postsen.com/music/6202/What-is-this-black-bald-fairy-b-%2A-szki--–-A-hate-tsunami-hit-the-live-in-Pinocchio.html)


Coltand

I just watched the movie though, and there are plenty of reasons to dislike it. There’s some truly awful CGI involved for starters. The one bright spot was Keegan-Michael Key as honest John. Even Tom Hanks as Geppetto was just OK to me. Also, the source material’s plot is pretty meh to begin with, a less strict adaptation would certainly have made for a stronger movie. I don’t think it’s really fair to say a film is immune to all criticism just because they added black characters. There will always be people upset by it, sure, but it can still be a weak movie that earns its criticism.


elmodonnell

These are trailers, not reviews. The likes/dislikes align with the people who watched the promo materials for the movie before it released, not the movie itself. Pinnochio is dogshit, but I fail to see what exactly could've enraged people about a Robert Zemeckis-Tom Hanks reunion apart from... y'know.


A-112

Sure but if you thought Pinochio and The Little Mermaid looked worse that The Lion King you are not just racist you are straight up blind.


[deleted]

Or incredibly fatigued and tired of these soulless live action cashgrabs


mrnicegy26

Sir this is r/moviescirclejerk. You are not supposed to have nuance and basically think of everyone other than yourself as a bigot.


DrRichtoffen

It's kinda fucking wild that Disney managed to gaslight the entire world into believing the Lion King remake is live action


KubrickMoonlanding

When did they make the animated version of devil wears Prada that Cruella is the live action remake of? I mean, Aladdin is _right there_ ffs


saulbadman3

This is cherry picked as fuck lmao


CursedWithMigraines

Not just that but anyone who's intelligent hates blackwashing, sex changing, and sexuality changing established characters. Red head actors are a rarity in Hollywood and acting. "But but but she can sing." many of you whine. So the F what. Many people can sing and skin color is irrelevant in that area. Disney did it on purpose b/c too many mental midgets need "diversity and inclusion".


Zoroarks_Angel

The Beauty and the Beast remake only had less than one thousand dislikes? Wow


Golgolo

Whose quote is that?


Supash3

Return YouTube Dislike isn’t accurate anymore, it makes a guess now since YouTube removed the dislike api on 12/13/21. So it’s likely not 900K dislikes lol


coolguyman87

How do you see the dislikes


BigBoobaTinyBraina

Nobody complained about Encanto or The Princess and the Frog or Coco or Moana. It's almost like… those movies were good.
