I didn't see an issue with the lighting after a rewatch of the trailer. The dark settings are dark. The light settings are light. Looks gorgeous tbh.

 

And girl can SING.

I just can’t understand this continued obsession with thinking hyper-realistic talking animals works in any way. It’s not hard at all to have stylized anthropomorphic CG animals that fit nicely into live action in this day and age. Hell, even Roger Rabbit style cartoon characters blend far more naturally into live action than this crap.

I just don't get the populairtyof this whole live action version of aniamed classics given that all of them so far have been medicore at best, without the charm and energy of the originals.

Not that my opinions matters; this will still make a mint for the Mouse.

Maleficent (the first one) and Aladdin are really fun, and Cinderella, Cruella and The Jungle Book were deemed to be actual good films. BatB, TLK, Mulan, Mistress of Evil and the Alice films are poop. Haven't watched Lady and the Tramp and Pinocchio yet.

 

Going by Marshall's track record, I think this may fall in the first category with Mal1 and Aladdin as enjoyable as he can do a serviceable job if the source material is excellent (Into the Woods) even if he hasn't shown a capability (so far) of elevating stories.

Most dis-liked trailer I have ever seen on youtube. 95000 likes to 460,000 dislikes. Wow.

[Mr Roark]

Especially after A2 those underwater sequences look like absolute ****. 🤣

[Borobudur]

The CGI look absolutely awful, they expect audience to accept the cash grab and crap after seeing what Avatar 2 can achieve with underwater VFX?

Regard underwater stuff for TLM I wasn't expecting anything near close to A2 quality cgi as we know they spent years to work on this at Weta and other movies will not have such long workflow.
But for The Little Mermaid I was more disappointed with overall gray, desaturated, lifeless look of whole movie especially underwater shoots than cgi itself.

I though Allddin was terrible; anyway I think the Maleficeint films are not exactly remakes; more like spinoffs.

And that it is competing with memories of the original does not help matters.

Just seen this, it looks good, and I don’t usually say that about the Disney remakes. 
 

Thought Aladdin was dreadful, skipped Lion King, Jungle Book was pretty boring, Mulan was fine. 
 

She has a great voice.

Melissa looks like she’s 100% just there to collect a paycheck in that trailer. 

That’s the reason actors do Disney films. 

[UnapologeticKenny]

It looks fine most of the time to me. Yeah, some scenes look weird (CGI) and the acting could be better in others, but I'm still on board for this.

 

I must say though, the initial response to the trailer has been a little lackluster imo. I don't know if they did right premiering this during the Oscars... The teaser made more noise than the trailer, which was overshadowed by the event.

 

Let's see how this will perform. Maybe the 18M viewers cared enough for it.

[Ozymandias]

looks mediocre outside of Halle Bailey

You really have NO clue how anything in the world works, do you? I mean-you probably actually think that 1.1 million people watched the video and disliked it.

It's literally just a loud minority of pathetic racist chuds dislike-bombing. This movie is fine and believe that it'll bomb because of that is kind of suspect.
