No god no. This is horrific
There can only be one Genie and yet they want to remake that
There can only be one Lion King.
I get they want to make the movies available for the latter day kids but for gods sake don't replace the actors. Or better yet just don't update the films give them to us as a product of their time, they were bloody glorious then and still are to this day

Not into it at all. The cartoon versions are the classics and all I care for! Plus, like many others have said, I’m not interested in watching Mufasa die in HD.
Yay and Nay I guess. Some of them I didn't like such as Cinderella. I found that to be a bore. Others I found to be good like Beauty and The Beast, one of my favourite animated disney films. They didn't need to remake it live action and it was fine the way it was but I enjoyed it anyway as I would rewatching the original. I even found The Jungle Book better than the original.
Then we have The Lion King coming out which I think is kind of pointless. It's not live action it's just really well animated CGI animals rather than cartoon ones. They even brought back the original Mufasa but Jeremy Irons was the best as Scar and I don't see how anyone else can do a better job.
Then we also have Aladdin which I think could work as a live action but without Robin I am sure the genie can't live up.

Nay, huge cash grabs and little effort for originality. I've never been big into Disney movies, but many are decent and don't need to be recreated in any way, they're fine the way they are. I also dislike how they make the live action versions a Tim Burton type experience, like a "cute/creepy/dark/childish" kind of thing with a terrible mix of live action and CGI. I dislike Burton's creations too, it's all just awful and needs to be stopped.
The only one I've seen is Beauty and the Beast and I didn't care for it. The original versions are classics and will remain the only versions I care about. What I didn't like about Beauty and the Beast was that they autotuned the hell out of it with many of the songs, particularly when Emma Watson was singing, and to me it was too noticable.
I have no interest in these live action versions. But I think it's a way for more people to see these stories, so I don't view them as a bad thing. From what I have heard, these live action versions are faithful to their animated counterparts.

The Lion King isn't even live action. Those lions aren't actors.

I'm not a fan. I wouldn't say I have anything against them, but the Lion King one is ****ing stupid and Will Smith looks like he's going to be an embarrassment as the Genie.
I just don't think any of them are necessary. The original animated versions are still incredibly iconic. It's not like they need to do remakes to introduce a new generation to these films since they've been re-releasing them all for 20–30 years, keeping the branding up-to-date. There hasn't been a little girl born since 1989 who doesn't love the Disney princesses at some point in her childhood. So why do we need the same stories done in a less visually iconic and pleasing manner? Who will prefer this new, ugly, realistic Lion King to the Disney classic? Which will look better twenty years from now?
I don't know, it just seems like an idea some low level exec had at a board meeting one day to fill an awkward silence and an elder higher up type decided it was worth going for and now they're doing a ****ing Dumbo movie and Lady and the Tramp because they're running out of humans. If they just kept it to the likes of Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and Mulan then I wouldn't find it so stupid. I'll probably go see Mulan. Mulan kicks butt.

Disnich is straight out of ideas. This is all they've got. Especially after making the world's most marketable movie franchise unmarketable.
Poor Walt's spinning in his grave at what these braindead hacks have done to his company.

Hell No, Live action remakes of Disney animated films is complete blasphemy, Disney needs to realize art isn't all about money, art is all about passion.
I just wanna remember Disney for Winnie the Pooh Mickey mouse and PotC ;__; Not for ****ty movies like Beauty and the Beast, Lion King and especially Alice through the Looking Glass.
Sometimes. The live action Disney remakes are are their best when they aren't trying to be remakes. The only one I think stands apart from the others and tries to be its own thing is Maleficent, which is less of a remake and more of a contextualization of the story from the perspective of a new character.
