What Disney SHOULD do live action reboots of!
5 days ago
General
To Disney; if you are reading this? I don't mind the idea of "live action reboots", but if you must do that? Make reboots of TERRIBLE animated films that are NOT made by you guys...and buy rights to them, so you can legally do commercial reboots that do it BETTER! (Also? Do them as ONE-SHOT MOVIES.)
I have a list of examples. (And WHY!)
= Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights -> While not ULTIMATELY bad? It's still at least NOT VERY GOOD, if not TERRIBLE. I mean, there IS a positive message (as can be seen much later in the movie) to advise people NOT to take friendly folks who are TRYING to do thte right thing for granted. Unfortunately, that is presented questionably. Disney could take the basic idea of the story in mind, and do it BETTER! (Also keep it STRICTLY clean and PG rated...and take it easy on the gross-out humor!) I mean, the basic idea to point out that we're all basically morons (not to be insulting) due to being human? That's understandable. But they could have done that basic idea BETTER.
= Foodfight! -> A good basic idea done VERY WRONG...I will agree on one thing, from PhantomStrider; (the YouTuber) the dastardly "Mr. Clipboard" was the only REAL POSITIVE about the said movie for being so WONDERFULLY AWFUL! Unfortunately, the movie itself is NOT so wonderfully awful...it's WORSE. While not hateful or insulting, it's distasteful, perverted, and some of the writing just felt LAZY...not to mention being at least MOSTLY unfunny! I'm sure that if Disney were to reboot this? I'm sure you could do the basic idea MUCH BETTER...with the said food mascots being in the movie either being FICTIONAL ones that Disney could make up, or ACTUAL EXISTING ONES....from REAL LIFE organic food brands! (As a message on the side to encourage ORGANIC FOOD...to stay healthy!) In addition, Disney could make a reboot that is CLEAN...and strictly PG rated, too!
= Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe In Santa -> A HUGE SHAME....it could have been awesome, but unfortunately? It had to suck. The writing was at least MOSTLY lazy, the plot was not focused enough, and the CGI animation is downright ABYSMAL. Fortunately, there's one big positive; at least the voice acting is actually DECENT! Sadly though, it's too late; by not improving on the overall development, the damage is already done. (Disney can EASILY do a better job.)
= The Christmas Tree (1991) -> WORST ANIMATED CHRISTMAS SPECIAL EVER! It was lazily made, every human looked just plain ugly, and there was literally NO REAL EFFORT put into the overall development! The creators were literally lazy and JUST wanted to make an excuse to make money...out of PURE GREED! If Disney was in charge? They could do a complete reboot as an over-the-top feel good comedy...and do it BETTER! (Likely with the abusive orphanage owner NOT making out alive in being struck by lightning...and in fat, DYING as an act of karma!)
When it comes to trying to reboot your animated films that are ALREADY widely considered good? DON'T, Disney...please; just reboot TERRIBLE movies and DO THEM RIGHT! (Also? TRY to entertain WITHOUT trying to offend! I mean, If I wanted to encourage media that actually TRIES to be offensive to others? I could have encouraged "Family Guy"....which went from DECENT to INSULTING, HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE, and STUPID...if not HATEFUL! Not that I AM encouraging that stuff, however, as I am AGAINST that.)

Same with comic book adaptations. The Watchmen movie was very faithful to the comics, and that's why it didn't work for me at all. If it had been animated, it could have been awesome.
