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 10 – Aladdin
This blog post is later than I wanted it to be, mostly because at least for now, my new position at work can be mentally tiring. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind. I’ve always had the personality type where … 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 8 – Christopher Robin
This isn’t technically a remake, but more of a spiritual sequel to the Winnie the Pooh classics. But since it’s a live-action movie closely tied to several Disney animated features, both from their main studio and their sub-studios, I figured … Continue reading

Now that I’m starting to get my life back under control, it’s time to continue this series on Disney live-action Remakes. Today’s subject is 2016’s The Jungle Book, the remake for the last movie that Walt Disney produced. He died … Continue reading

Disney remakes 6 – 101 Dalmatians
One Hundred and One Dalmatians was the second last animated movie Walt Disney released before his death in 1966. Between this and The Sword and the Stone, most people tend to agree that this is the better one. It also … Continue reading
Disney Remakes 5 – Maleficent
On paper, the sound of a Sleeping Beauty remake focusing on the character of Maleficent sounds awesome. Sleeping Beauty released in 1959, and the main villain still remains up there with the greatest villains in Disney history. It’s also a … Continue reading

Disney Remakes 4 – Lady and the Tramp
A lot of the recent criticism thrown at the Disney remakes suggests that these live action remakes barely change anything. A lot of them are far too similar to the original movie. The first three remakes I’ve looked at don’t … Continue reading
