The article criticizes Disney for its trend of creating disappointing live-action remakes of beloved animated classics. Highlighting the most recent adaptation of 'Lilo & Stitch,' the author describes the trend as a soulless exercise in corporate greed that strips the original stories of their charm. The piece laments the lack of imagination in these projects and reflects on how the adaptations like 'The Little Mermaid' and 'Lion King' failed to resonate with audiences, suggesting a disconnection from the creative spirit that once defined Disney's legacy.
It's a rancid trend, as evidenced by the PR and box office wreckage of 'Snow White' with Rachel Zegler, and the sloppy mush they made out of 'The Little Mermaid.'
The company that actually employs artisans known as 'Imagineers' has got no imagination left in the tank. So, rinse and repeat, it is.
Take cherished movies, uglify 'em, clumsily toss in political correctness and - presto! - here's a lousy cash grab. Has any of these debacles ever improved upon the animated original? Nope.
I'm still enraged by the 2019 'Lion King' update, which warped Simba, Mufasa and Scar into harsh, photo-realistic animals. Suddenly families were watching 'Planet Earth: The Musical.'
