The Problem with Disney's Live-Action Remakes

from Breakdowns & Blockbusters · host Breakdowns & Blockbusters

Why does Disney keep making live-action remakes of its animated classics — and is it really because of copyright? This video explains the real reason behind Disney’s live-action remake strategy, from The Lion King’s lifeless photorealistic CGI to Moana being remade so soon after the original, and why these movies keep making money, and why so many Disney live-action remakes feel worse than the original animated films. ⏱️TIMESTAMPS⏱️0:00 Intro0:48 Copyright 1:58 CGI3:08 China4:38 The Jungle Book6:21 The Lion King9:09 Box Office 🔴 Subscribe for more videos just like this: https://shorturl.at/atCD9 #thelionking #junglebook #disney Breakdowns & Blockbusters is represented by Digital Fox Talent.
