In there defense the remakes are doing much better at the box office than the original movies are

Good point - and I will also be lined up to see the new Beauty and the Beast when it comes out.

Adjusted for inflation might say otherwise in some cases. They should be working on new Hits like frozen not remakes.

Ok I was thinking of live action specifically - fair point about Frozen

Just thinking that I am sure most/all the live action remakes do better than, say, Tomorrowland did

I really wish tomorrowland was better. We could've had a tomorrowland renovation by now.

Tangent here, sorry - I've never seen Tomorrowland. Would it be worth renting?

I had higher hopes for Tomorrowland...but alas as a whole I was disappointed.

 

[Dentam]

Sounds like that would be a no...

It's not bad - felt like a movie that didn't quite know what it wanted to be - and suffered from people wanting it to be awesome and it just wasn't

I heard there were a few scenes cut that explained things a bit better so am interested in checking out those scenes (I only saw it in the Theater)

As Phil said it's not bad but not as good as it could've been.

I would check to see if it's on any of the movie channels on cable first. We had a week free of starz or something and that's how I saw it. It is probably worth a rent but it's not something I would buy.

I didn't see the cut scenes so I'll have to check that out thanks for that info.

It wasn't that it was bad perse but I agree with the whole 'didn't quite know what it wanted to be' part. I liked parts of it but just felt that they missed the mark and they had well-known actors/actresses. The aspect that it suffered from people wanting it to be awesome..well let's face it that's on Disney. They took a part of their theme park and turned it into a movie they better dang well make it a good one. I mean think about it if Pirates didn't do too well how the reaction would have been.

Or the local library may have it to borrow. That's where I got it to watch.

I liked Tomorrowland...

Geyser Point Bar & Grill opens today!

https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...wilderness-lodge-at-walt-disney-world-resort/

I think Geyser Point will be a great addition to WL! I am just not a fan that the menu is so limited while RF is closed. Heading there in 3 weeks and the nearest QS Mickey waffles will be a boat ride to Contempo Cafe. Once the resort is back up and running at full capacity, I think it will be a huge draw and great supplement to RF!

I think the live actions are just another huge revenue stream that help reinvigorate the classics. I am 100% guilty of purchasing a Beauty and the Beast shirt for my upcoming trip. Some will be opposed, but tons still go and see them regardless. If anything, Disney is probably recognizing how successful they have become in addition to its own in house animation and Pixar. The live actions are also getting higher profile actors. Look at all the famous names in Beaty and the Beast compared to Cinderella!

I don't have cable... checked on amazon and it's only available to purchase. Oh well, I will get around to seeing it someday.

Or imagine if they made a terrible Haunted Mansion based movie .... oh, wait
