That would give me nightmares if I went to see it and I don’t think that’s what Disney is going for.

Pretty much entirely defeats the purpose of “live action”. There’s essentially 7 dwarves and four humans that are going to have any lines worth mentioning. So out of ten possible roles only four are actually live. At that point, just animate the damn thing lol

They made a Lion King “live action”. Words just don’t have meaning anymore

Listen, we didn’t need to go there. Everything was perfectly bad in this thread and you had to make it ultra bad.

Why are adults still watching this? It’s a cash grab. Let the kids watch it.

Kids don’t go to theatres alone, do they?

Then who was the little shit looking at the phone with their friends 2 rows in front of me while the film was on? I’m guessing it wasn’t the dwarf from snow white.

They should, but unfortunately today’s parents have been convinced that the world is extremely dangerous and that letting their children go outside to have adventures and build their confidence is “bad parenting”.

I don’t think it’s bad parenting to not leave a 5-year-old alone in a movie theater. Not unless you expect the theater staff to parent on your behalf if that 5-year-old gets bored and decides to leave.

It would definitely give me nightmares if I were a kid.

You don’t find those dwarves horrifying?

I’d have preferred to have 7 Dwayne Johnson Oompa Loomped instead of this monstrosity…

(Why Dwayne Johnson? Because Peter Dinklage statements).

I have never watched any of these Disney CGI cash grab remakes not the least because they make me nauseous with how cynical and soulless they look.

It sounds like hyperbole but when I watch a clip of one of these movies all I can think about is how the structure of modern society is extremely hostile towards materially (not just rhetorically) valuing artists and valuing their labor and unique strengths.

THIS was the inveitable final form of the broken and dying society I was born into wasn’t it?

The experience of seeing these kinds of degradations (along the axis of humanity) of art is to make me wish I was never raised an artist and that I could trade every bit of my creativity away for something people actually value and relieve me of the living hell of trying and constantly failing to navigate modern daily life with an artist’s ADHD mind.

Another dogshit looking green screen atrocity. I think their only purpose is to remind people that the animated original exists.
