I admit, the image of will smith is shocking, but i find it hilarious that people complain that Will Smith doesn't look like in the animated version. a few months ago people complained about these live action movies copying the original ones. now disney is giving something different, people still complain...

 

 

True. Though i really can’t stand these childish attitudes that animation-nerds are giving towards the live action remakes of the animated films.

 

And it’s usually a negative one like ”Oh, this remake is nothing like the animated film” or ”Oh, this remake is too samey as the animated film.

 

So far, we have 6 original live action remakes to fully-animated films that Disney released (from earliest to latest): 101 Dalmatians, Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent, Cinderella, The Jungle Book & Beauty and the Beast. And they all were profitable.

 

Next year we get Dumbo, Aladdin & The Lion King...and yet some few users still bitch about their existance (probably even after when they get released, worst case scenario). Christ! 🙄

'Tis the season to be overly negative? Seems to be a lot of bashing and unfounded criticism based on some pics. Not sure if that's just people trying to cause the movie to tank or from Disney haters or what?

 

It's not like this movie is poised to be an Oscar contender. It's just a fun take on the classic.

Agreed that actual criticism is unfair, but it's always pretty funny when promotional material fails miserably (see: Sonic). Plus it gives those us who are anti-live-action remake a little more fuel for the fire.

Guy Ritchie has some dirt on some higher-ups at Disney ?

That s all I got.

[John Marston]

That cover is terrible but that doesn’t meant his will underperform. Nostalgia plus Will smith will equal some good money. Overseas especially should be very good

Choices were made for this and none of them were good.

Hmm. People are treating this like this film going to suck to them anyway (post-release), despite a big & profitable gross for the film?

 

Is this the 2019-equivalent of JW:FK?

I ll say it one last time :

 

So stupid for Disney to release this movie the same year as all the other huge brands they already have.

Gonna get lost in the shuffle.

The film is getting destroyed on Twitter LOL

 

It will be a huge success by blockbuster standards but by Disney standards? A letdown.

How are someone's opinion and that film's box office related?

It's just fascinating.  Literal basic knowledge of advertising could've avoided this, yet here we are.

 

It adds to my theory that there are some movies that studios want to flop.

They want it to flop. I know the truth.

Aladdin should’ve come out in 2020 honestly, it could’ve been better prepared by then and gives Dumbo and The Lion King enough space to breathe.

I mean are there any Arabian actresses on the rise? I’d get if they didn’t wanna get a newcomer and instead someone who’s relatively new to the game but still has some things under their belt (Power Rangers).

Having newcomers didn't stop them with some other main roles in these live action films. I mean the actor playing Aladdin is pretty unknown, just some minor TV roles, and he's the lead.

The criticism is about Will Smith's Genie. And the problem is on two fronts.

1. They should never have released a pic of Smith that wasn't the real thing. False advertising.

2. People who are criticizing are not reading the article.

[Valonqar]

WTF? Jasmine dumps this guys for Aladdin?

 

 

all girls are going nuts for him on social media atm. he should have been Aladdin.

[filmnerdjamie]

The problem is Disney is not only dropping too much on the market in general next year. But they have three high-profile films that rely 100% on nostalgia for their original animated counter-parts. No studio is bullet-proof and there will be some duds in between money-eating monsters like Avengers: Endgame and especially The Lion King.

This will be one of them and Dumbo too. Just like the 90's, this trend will peak with The Lion King and everything after that will be diminishing returns - some far worse than others.

But I’m pretty sure they have a formula; they wouldn’t put 2+ newcomers in the leads for a major film like this, unless the property is super popular.
