5 Disney Movies We Hope Get The Live-Action Treatment (and 5 We Don't)

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Disney is coiffure onremaking manyof its most popular films . With moving picture likeLady and the TrampandAladdinon the fashion , it begs the interrogative sentence : how many more of its old motion picture will get the live - action treatment ?

On the theme , there are a few Disney classics that could benefit from the remaking treatment . This would give Disney the fortune to capitalize on the potential difference that was n’t full realized in their original outlet . However , plenitude of Disney ’s movies should n’t be touched , as they were made for animation and thrived in that style . To try and hurtle them all into live - action would almost find disrespectful to their legacy .

10. WANT: ROBIN HOOD

Robin Hoodwas a cute movie , filled with whimsical charm and colored characters . However , it had some issues in tempo and some of its plot element were a bit too ridiculous and felt tonally discrepant with the residuum of the film .

Not only would a " resilient - activity " remake breathe fresh aliveness into this report , but seeing the animal / human hybrid character imagined with CGI would look arresting , making it deserving a ticket if only for the gewgaw . It would also be an chance to clean up the plot and potentially differentiate a more mature story than the first time . Just keep Whistle Stop at the beginning .

9. DON’T WANT: THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Disney has expressed interest in givingThe Nightmare Before Christmasthelive - action treatment . The trouble with that is the motion-picture show was so good and memorable because of its stop over - motion animation . To accommodate it into a CGI explosion with a portmanteau of real mass in tough makeup would take off the charm that was present in the film .

what is more , there is n’t a lot that needs to be changed inThe Nightmare Before Christmas . The moving-picture show succeeded in just about everything it strain to achieve . A live - action remake would just feel like remould old territorial dominion at this point . It would be a big cash catch too .

8. WANT: THE RESCUERS

The Rescuerswas a precious motion picture about a squad of mice who were tax with a missionary work . While it might be unmanageable to portray CGI characters as the supporter ( it ’s not as light to convey emotion or make them relatable ) , there ’s some potential with a movie likeThe Rescuers .

There is a human part heavily featured in the movie , so it would n’t be that difficult to alter perspectives a bit . what is more , it ’s the kind of escapade that would be visually stunning to see unfold in more realistic sets . see Bernard and Miss Bianca drive an mollymawk with a sundown blazing in the scope would be a beautiful guessing for the trailer .

7. DON’T WANT: THE EMPEROR’S NEW GROOVE

The Emperor ’s New Grooveis one of Disney ’s good moving picture . Bar none . It ’s clever , interesting , and has a moral lesson without beating viewers over the head with it . have ’s be real for a present moment : Kuzco as a verbalize llama would not work as a CGI character . He is dynamical and expressive , and the 2D animation right conduct that .

CGI would n’t give Kuzco the range of facial expression without it reckon ridiculous . The movie likely would n’t be ashot - for - shot remake , but when the archetype is so skillful , why change it and effectively make the last product worse ? There ’s just no rationality to come to this one .

6. WANT: THE BLACK CAULDRON

The Black Cauldronis a dark Disney movie , and it ’s no secret why it did n’t do so well with critic . However , a live - action remaking is another fortune to give this cult picture the chance it deserves .

There are two ways to go about it : either lighten the entire history and change thing around to fit that or lean into the darker component and make more like a horror film . We ’re not talk making it pseudo - grim likeMaleficent , but to amply lean into its tone one way or the other . That means , citizenry sleep together what they ’re getting into the moment they walk into the theater .

5. DON’T WANT: SWORD IN THE STONE

Sword in the Stoneis Disney ’s interlingual rendition of the King Arthur story . The reason we do n’t need a remaking of it is not that the movie is so untouchable , but more because of how many film adaptations of that myth there already are . If Disney redo it , it would immediately fall in the family of King Arthur movie , none of which have been specially safe .

Furthermore , if Disney just follows the stamp of the movie , it would n’t be that good , thus break almost no understanding that the flick should be touched at all . It ’s a goofy child ’s pic and nothing more , and it should probably delay that way .

4. WANT: HERCULES

Herculesis an entertaining pic that has a few flaws , which pass on it some potentiality when it come to a live - action remake . It was interesting to see how Disney present popish gods in a way of life that was worthy for a nestling ’s cinema . However , a live - action remake could send them back to the drawing board with how to portray that side of mythology .

With a sympathetic actor in the central function , it could be exciting to see how Pegasus , Phil , and Hades all look when given special effects and makeup . The battle at the end with the titans could wait particularly stunning .

3. DON’T WANT: THE ARISTOCATS

The Aristocatsis a blubber and funky picture show about how two cats from unlike walks of life end up together while a crazed Samuel Butler tries to get rid of them all . There ’s a lot of charm and fun with a movie like this that would likely be gone if it were given the " live - action mechanism " discourse .

The majority of the characters ( save for the one or two important humans ) would all be recreated with CGI ( they could usereal animals , but the problem still stands ) . reckon Thomas O’Malley without his suave facial expression or cocky behaviour . Imagine Duchess ' kittens without the spiteful aspect they divvy up with each other . Imagine the jazz group without their whacky movements .

2. WANT: POCAHONTAS

Pocahontasis a movie that was criticized for being historically inaccurate and receive some less - than - desirable depictions of sure ethnic groups . If Disney were to give a flick a alive - action remake , it ’s arguable that this should be the one it attempts .

There were notable flaws that could be slump with a 2d attempt . For starters , Disney could make the picture more precise , showing the titulary reference as she would ’ve appeared rather than as an idealized woman . The animal friends could go through some much - require modification themselves . Overall , a remaking of this motion-picture show is an opportunity to right Disney ’s wrongs .

1. DON’T WANT: THE FOX AND THE HOUND

The Fox and the Houndis both a grievous yet beloved narration about a fox and a dog being best friends and then nature draw them by from each other . While the picture is not perfect , Disney seemed to be firing on all piston chamber when making it . It ’s simple yet in effect , leading to moments where there was not a dry tear in the consultation .

Not only would a live - activeness remake be another one of those situations where master characters would have to be naturalistic CGI model that ca n’t emote as well as 2D brio , but there ’s no rationality to retread this narration .
