Disney Remakes 11 – The Lion King
Of all the Disney live-action remakes so far, this is the one which has the least to say about. From a story and character standpoint, it changes almost nothing from original animated movie. No expanded sub-plots. No deeper character analysis. … Continue reading

Disney Remakes 9 – Beauty and the Beast
Back when I did my Disney movie marathon in 2017, I also watched all of the live-action remakes made up to that point. Among them, there was Beauty and the Beast, which at the time was a fairly recent movie. … Continue reading

Disney Remakes 5 – Maleficent
