Live action doesn’t make the animated good

Submitted by Mhakey_1997 t3_11x2htv in movies

I’ve seen the Little Mermaid and I realize that even thought the live action may have one or similarities to the original, I don’t think it will capture the feeling and beauty of the original, like the songs, animation etc. I believe, in my opinion, that the live action version will be so bad that many people would rather watch the original than this, it’s the same with Lion King, Mulan, Beauty and the Beast and I will not be surprised if Disney makes a live action of Pocahontas. Live action doesn’t make the original look good it makes it more organic and I hate it.

Honestly I can't wait for the adult spin off of you know what I'm getting at.

Yes, The little Mermaid direct by Gaspar Noe.

Yet they keep making more, because people who saw the originals want to see them for nostalgia and a lot of them have kids now so the kids themselves who may or may not have seen the originals will enjoy the live action ones more if not just as much.

Pocahontas has a lot controversy due to it being historically inaccurate so I don’t think Disney will touch it again

I haven’t seen the Little Mermaid yet (the live action one) but one of the things I noticed watching the trailer is that the underwater world felt kind of dark and empty compared to the original, which is more realistic obviously, but the animated original just felt so alive and bright and the live action one just looked so… to put it mildly… not that.

I don't enjoy musicals. And I think the Disney movie's target audience is kids. But I've enjoyed a couple live action remakes of other animated shows/movies/games/books that were more geared toward adult audiences. I think I'm in the minority though. Because they usually get canceled pretty quickly. For instance, I thought the Cowboy Beebop show had potential and was already better than the animated episodes that I could make it through (watched the first season or so and thought it was pretty bad and corny, never went back to it). I liked the new lord of the rings show, that everyone shits on. And I didn't think the Halo show was too terrible. I liked the first season of The Last of Us. But I wish they wouldn't have stuck to the game content so closely and given us some new content instead. Apparently, most people want the remakes to be exact copies of the original. But I find that approach to be pretty pointless. Like, if I wanted that, I'd just revisit the source material. I want to see some new works that are inspired by the originals. Not a photo-copy.

I still wish Sofia Coppola had been allowed to make The Little Mermaid. Her version would've been achingly beautiful, both visually and storywise.

The underwater scenes would've been so bright and colorful. It would've been like a combination of how she used color in Marie Antoinette and Somewhere. It would've been amazingly beautiful.

I'm sure Rob Marshall will do a good job. But I would've rather seen Sofia Coppola's The Little Mermaid. I think she would've been better suited to it.

Replying to Mhakey_1997 (#2,291,663)

She directed The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation, Marie Antoinette, Somewhere, The Bling Ring, The Beguiled and On the Rocks.

She's one of my favorite directors. Her first three movies- The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation and Marie Antoinette- are three of my favorite movies. I don't like her next four- Somewhere, The Bling Ring, The Beguiled and On the Rocks- nearly as much but they're still good.

She's currently working on Priscilla about Elvis and Priscilla's relationship. I'm looking forward to it and I'm hoping it's as good as her first three movies.
