At least they tried something "original" with these characters.
but why? treasure planet and atlantis are fine as they are, even black cauldron for the most part. there's nothing a "remake" would fix than dumb it down for broader appeal. the audience that likes them already does, it's just not as big. by that logic you could include tangled as well since apparently frozen is the best disney movie every so anything not pulling those numbers or audience reception needs a remake.
doesn't even need a happy end, just needs to be written smart/simple enough that kids can understand it. the problem with most writing is that they think kids are a) dumb af and b) can't handle anything that isn't fluffy marshmallows till they suddenly hit legal age and have complete understanding of everything.
Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch was also actually pretty good. Not as good as the original, but it came shockingly close. The closest any successive L&S piece of media got, as a matter of fact. No Pokémon-ripoff experiments, the house actually looks like how it did at the end of the first movie:
Oh most definitely, it's just that unfortunately, it came out before the TV series even wrapped up. The ending didn't hit as hard as it could've because of the foregone conclusion. Like man, imagine that coming out before a canon TV series was even announced, or ever for that matter.
I was gonna add, that was the one thing I didn't like about it - the cheap fake-out Disney Death. Doubly insulting because like you said, it came out right as the TV show was airing, so it was a forgone conclusion that Stitch wasn't gonna die. A shame, the sequence was actually real well-done outside of that.
Loved it! Watched it endlessly on tape. Disney even released it here! It's no wonder I had it best in the 80's.
We're not going to get another copyright extension. Things are a lot different on that front than they were back in 1998, and nobody wants to extend copyright another 20 years. Disney might, I guess, but they know it's unpopular. And in any case, they can renew their trademark on Mickey indefinitely. So they won't sue you for violating their copyright - they'll sue you for violating their trademark.
Not to be that guy, but it's Lion King 1 1/2. And yeah, I agree. Another decent DTV Disney sequel.
I can never remember since it’s the 3rd movie that came out, I keep thinking they’d put the “3” in to reflect that
iirc they ran on The Disney Channel back in the day, too
Yep, Disney Channel gave Asterix the time of day when the books weren't yet a thing at Barnes & Noble. Even Lucky Luke.
Oh of only opl was free to see this... I can imagine the tweets about bow this movie is a" message from dimension c197's future about how things will be. " but he's in big boy jail now and may be for a long time.
