    A Darkwing Duck animated movie would be great. And real animation not that CGI crap. Get Mad House to animate it.

    As far as Pocahontas, the historical rewriting in that movie is problematic as fuck, and I can see Disney being smart enough to not get within 100 yards of a remake in the current environment.

    Pocahontas was getting shit when it dropped in the 90s. There's no way it's gonna fly today.

    I think this Telegraph reviewer watched a different scene than me.
    "You might imagine that easy-breezy, Hakuna Matata-chanting middle act would only work when drawn by hand. Yet cinematographer Caleb Deschanel’s expert command of "natural" spectacle and the sheer exuberance of Rogen and Eichner’s performances make it the film’s most purely delightful section."

    Yeah if we were rating songs based on "Songs that are NOT Be Prepared"

    If that's what they consider the film's "most purely delightful section" just imagine how bad the rest of it must be.

    That actually makes it a better candidate for a remake imo. That's a movie where there's actually stuff to fix!

    What's next for Disney live-action remakes? They've done Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Jungle Book, Dumbo, Aladdin, Lion King, and Mulan. I assume Pocahontas is on deck if they can figure out how to make it not hella racist. Hercules, Tarzan, and Hunchback are also possibilities but I don't think those films are as iconic as Lion King or Aladdin so I doubt they would perform as well. Live-action Pinocchio seems pointless and creepy but then again so did live-action Dumbo. Not sure what else is left?

    I can't wait for live-action Toy Story.

    To fix Pocahontas, you need to have her captured as a hostage and child bride.

    I don't think Disney is touching that.

    I thought live action dumbo was ok. At least it was it's own thing with its own story. I thought it was perfectly fine telling of a story.

    Please no. They'll update it by using Hamster Dance for the intro.

    Live action Bambi, using the Lion King as a template. When Bambi's mom gets shot, the camera will linger over her dying corpse as she slowly bleeds out. The NRA will protest that Disney is trying to demonize deer hunting. In the ensuring controversy, the film will make two billion dollars.

    The Disney monoculture is one of the most disheartening movements in cinema in my lifetime

    Excited speculation about which classic they’ll ruin next is like pontificating on the bowel movements of the whale that is digesting you

    Reach beyond your spoonfed pablum, people

    If you're upset about Disney monoculture people mocking them should be fine with you.

    Is the reason that noone has mentioned The Little Mermaid yet is because they fear someone at Disney will hear and do it next?

    I'll watch a live-action little mermaid when Disney sticks to the accurate "disobey your parents and you will suffer and die horribly" story and not the "do whatever you want, some magic fish or some shit will save you in the end, even though you don't deserve it" one they came up with. Seriously what are they teaching kids these days...

    Doesn't Disney usually teach that animals are your friends, except for disfigured ones, who are always evil?

    Disney didn't do it, but the Czechs did in the 70's with some very loud wigs.

    The four-panel manga begins with Tatsumi, a high-school boy who lives by himself. Then, a devastatingly handsome merman named Wakasa moves into the bathtub in Tatsumi's home. Wakasa is a bit self-centered but cute, while Tatsumi is cool but a busybody. The manga offers a peek into their lives together.

    Hold up how does a merman just "move into the bathtub", there aren't any merman-sized routes from the ocean.

    Also they've completely avoided mentioning tentacle guy.

    They assume everyone is just gonna know a manga like that has tentacles in it somewhere.
