Aladdin sounds mental but Ritchie’s big budget films are always unspeakably dull.Having seen Jungle Book (which was surprisingly good...or, you know, good enough) I kinda know exactly what to expect from this. So I'm far more interested in the potential hot messes of Tim Burton's Dumbo and Guy Richie's Aladdin...
I mean, just imagine Will Smith's inevitably awful rap in Friend Like Me! Directed by the guy who made Lock Stock!! How is that not going to be a big glorious firey ball of hilarious atrocity!!?
I actually cried during the Dumbo trailer. I reckon its gonna be pretty emotional.Having seen Jungle Book (which was surprisingly good...or, you know, good enough) I kinda know exactly what to expect from this.

Yes.So it's the same brilliance, but with better graphics?
That'd be cool.I thought live action meant real animals. I wondered how they were going to train that many.
Even seeing the wildebeest in the trailer was horrifying.Oh I am excited, can't wait to get traumatised by Mufasa's death alllllllllll over again
I got goosebumps as soon as I heard his voice, and when he mentioned the 'sunrise & sunset' of being King I nearly teared upEven seeing the wildebeest in the trailer was horrifying.

I hope never.The original still holds up so what exactly is the point? Showing off CGI?
Will this whole 'nostalgia boom' ever die down, I wonder.
The original Dumbo is not a good film imo and as we all know little racist. I think they have to move away from the cartoon. Problem for me is Tim Burton, not exactly been on top form recently. The trailer looks promising though.Its obviously for money, thats the reason.
But Jungle Book was great. They dont need to change the story (although I think the JB one was changed for the better in terms of the slight ones they did). The musical keeps the same story too and is fantastic despite knowing what will happen. I think this will be great.
Dumbo seems more focused on the people than the elephants so not sure how that will come off.
Cinderella was a good watch too. I quite liked Beauty and the Beast too.
Yeah, but....Will Smith is the Genie! Just think about that! Is he gonna be blue!? Is he not? Is he gonna be wearing Hammer parachute pants!? Is he gonna make updated improvised early 00s pop culture references to camera? Is he gonna rap during all the big songs? (of course he is!)... If Mr Madge can’t make that hot mess at least entertainingly bad, then he’s surely some kind of villainous anti-film genius.Aladdin sounds mental but Ritchie’s big budget films are always unspeakably dull.
CGI still isn’t there for a film like this. It’ll make billions.
Baby Mine is a classic tearjerker, sure...But the original film has an insane non-plot and a song where basically slaves sing about loving their work and how they’d only spend money on booze anyway... and the only other memorable numbers are sung by an athropomorphic living train and some racist crows..I actually cried during the Dumbo trailer. I reckon its gonna be pretty emotional.
Omg I love Mulan are they remaking that as well?Thought Jungle Book was ok but not great. I wasn't a huge fan of the original but loved the songs and the live action didn't have enough of those.
Beauty & The Beast however, was an abomination along with others like Tarzan and Snow White so I'm not holding my breath on any of these new ones being good.
They better not feck up Mulan
Yep. Remaking that as well. One of my favourites.Omg I love Mulan are they remaking that as well?
You can do both no? It's what 2 hours max hardly a life commitmentCall me dead inside, but I just can't understand the desire to watch a film everyone has already seen about 47 times tarted up and made CGI rather than animation.
Is there really no desire to see new things these days?

I absolutely love the original Lion King, just hearing a few second of music from it brings ridiculous amounts of memories flooding back, but this does nothing for me at all.Call me dead inside, but I just can't understand the desire to watch a film everyone has already seen about 47 times tarted up and made CGI rather than animation.
