Why... why did Disney remake Moanna in live action?

Jamesmac

I'm genuinely confused about this after seeing the adverts/trailers. Aside from the actors being live action, everything else practically looks the same as the animated version. The fact the animated version was already pushing for a realistic look makes this version seem kinda redundant and pointless...

    Oh good, many people start screaming and crying when I say that, especially when they find out I really mean it too. I'd even go without Capt Jack Sparrow if it meant no more Disney.

    What many don't seem to realise is that many Disney stories are based on folklore and Hans Christian Anderssen and other Victorian collectors of folk stories and traditions. These were never meant to be childrens stories and many are really dark in thier original forms. Whilst the Victorians sort of toned them down a bit to make them suitable for children, Disney made them look cute and innocent with cardboard cut out goodies and badies. Many of the darker aspects still exist within the Disney stories but are never or rarely explained, personally I find this jarring and always have, but then I was one of those awkward children who saw this sort of thing and asked questions and got upset.

    14 was a perfectly acceptable age for marriage in America at the time films like Snow White were being made, these days we stop and question the morality of such things, but then it was normal, just as it was normal for girls to be married with a child by the time they were 20 when I was growing up.

    But that still dosne't excuse what they did to Winnie the Poo, misunderstanding whimsy and making it schamltz, and not understanding that Christopher Robin was a real little boy who was below the age of understanding abstract concepts, it is this that I think make the stories so universal and timeless.
