Maybe new live-action Szechuan sauce that Rick and Morty will kill for?

I don't know....I just wish Treasure Planet didn't bomb so badly that Shitsney would forever stop hand-drawn animation in favor of CGI-everything, which now leads to Live-action-everything.

I think the movie will sell, but it'll be pretty bad. The sauce will be the the real winner in all of this.

I wonder. If China is having issues with historical films at this point ( https://www.theepochtimes.com/beiji...d-movies-depicting-ancient-china_2851731.html ) and Hollywood is doing all it can to please China when it can then what goes?

That said if it is going to be just another live action retread then I am content to skip this one as well. I would ask for a less annoying side character but given what they did to genie I have no hope.

It looks like this version of Mulan will be an adaptation of the original Ballad of Hua Mulan and not a remake of Disney's animated version. So, no dragon, no cricket, no hunky general dude, and no songs.

Thank God, blessed Walt Disney does not have to watch this ...

What is wrong on childlike nice Disney movies ????
Bambi/Robin Hood/Snow White......

It is normal that that over time the Movies "adapted" for the actual generation of kids.
The Lion King/Mulan and other has also shown that things are different from the classic movies.


But this new Movies DESTROY the Disney myth to me !

- Arielle - desaster and i don´t think the new black one makes it better.....
- Dumbo - oh my god.....
- Aladdin - I did not think that I would say that "THANKS to Will Smith" a "good" adaption.
- Lion King - on an pure animal movie it is hard to make some errors,that was DISNEY stands for in the past.....
- Mulan - yes has to be accost to the "Star Wars" audience......

Please leave Bambi + Co. alone !!!!!!!!

I on the other hand am slightly curious at this one as that looks like a pretty radical reworking, as opposed to the tepid retellings the older ones had. Nowhere near enough to bother with a cinema trip, that would need to be some proper history for that one, but later down the line I can see making the time. No annoying dragon is good for me too.

I should also say I saw the "you posted in this" thread before and had completely forgotten anything about that earlier trailer.

On the other hand I should probably just go watch Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon again. Caught the last third or so a year or so back for the first time since the cinema and it worked for me.

This doesn't looks good to me at all. Missed a lot from cartoon version. Some are lost to cartoon film version. Where is Mushu? A little dragon is Fa Mulan's closest companion. What about horse who hate Mushu ? A cricket ? And many more. DISAPPOINTMENT! Where is Shan You as a villain with his hawk (or Eagle) on his forearm ? In this movie, a villain is a woman name Xian Lang?! Stupid decision at Disney. FAILED!

I will ignored it anyway. Wont watched it. RUIN!

I loved Treasure Planet, it was so good.

How about another Atlantis movie?

I am genuinely quite confused at why some people see so attached to the dragon, cricket and horse. Songs I can take or leave, though preferably leave.

It might also be more that if I wanted to watch a retread of the animated thing I would just watch the animated thing.

That said I will take another animated treasure planet or atlantis, possibly a TV show of the former.

I actually watched the cartoon version a week or two back for the first time since it hit DVD/VHS and we rented it. Was tempted to grab the sequel this morning but decided against it (have any such sequels ever been remotely good?).

Had not aged as well as some other Disney efforts, and just to finish it I watched the last half in 2x speed. Think my main criticism these days would be it almost feels like there is no story and this is more the outline of one.
I also heard this live action one is shuffling things up to pander to various interests so that is another potential nail in the coffin.
