Lilo & Stitch has made close to 800 million at the box office so yeah it's still working.

>>211347055
800 million and it doesn't make you feel anything. They can make 1 trillion and still, it will not move your heart.
I hope the dragons movie flops, then the studios will start doing good stuff

>>211347055
>>211347275
At its peak, Disney's live-action remakes earned massive box office returns. The 2019 remake of The Lion King was the highest-grossing of them all, earning over $1.6 billion worldwide. However, the Law of Diminishing Returns began to take effect. Audiences grew fatigued with the formula, and each subsequent remake earned progressively less. Eventually, this downward trend culminated in the commercial failure of the Snow White remake

I have no idea why Lilo & Stitch is performing so well. At this point, it almost feels like someone made a deal with Satan himself.

Mason Thames is relentlessly cute

>>211346324
movies used to be made by people that had an idea they obsessed over and wanted to create.
some love was put into the project.
now people are hired purely to tick off a huge list of boxes set by execs and nobody gives a fuck at all because there is no space for individual creative input.

>>211346324
Soulless means that it lacks spirit or creative energy. It's not genuine or made for the love of the creation itself and it shines through clear as day for most people every time.
Hollywood is dead because they don't create anymore, it has nothing to do with us as "a species".
They are purely business oriented, and never take chances or let genuine creatives actually CREATE.
It's all checklists and balance sheets and for that reason they will keep making flops.
Only children (physical or mental ones) are dumb enough to want to see their "by committee" bullshit products.

>>211346105 (OP)
they're creatively bankrupt that they're remaking even the mediocre movies

>>211346105 (OP)
Yeah they're trying to cash in on the live-action remake fad but it just felt unnecessary considering the movie it's based on isn't even that old compared to the Disney ones and they had better timing

Would you let Nico Parker (20 years old) train your dragon?

>>211347837
holy mystery meat

Literally just get some pretty Norwegian girl to play Astrid. It's the most obvious casting in the world. What the fuck were they thinking?

It's like they wanted to fail.

>>211346105 (OP)
I keep seeing the trailer for this and it's basically just the entire learning to fly sequence redone shot for shot. It makes me think the rest of the movie is a shot for shot remake with the same music, which normally I would say is a smart idea since How to Train your Dragon is already a good movie. The problem is they fucked up the casting. If you are doing a shot for shot remake then why cast Astrid as a nigger or mulatta or whatever the fuck she is? How hard was it to find a cute blonde girl?

>>211347941
I really enjoy the original movies and I think the original cast is part of that. When will these people learn that casting ugly mystery meat people is going to tank your movies success? People want to see attractive White people in their movies, especially when the casting calls for that. Casting mystery meatoids just cheapens the whole thing and makes it not feel legit

>>211347275
Hey, man, I get it but people go out and see this shit in droves. You can't win against shit. People always, always, always waste their time on it and will argue to defend it. This is a reality you have to accept

Hey, Toothless still moved something in me. And it even grew! The movie is called 'How To Fuck Your Dragon" for a good reason.

>>211346328
Faithful to the plot, I guess. As in not making controversial changes like Disney always does.

live action remake - disney :O

>>211347055
I'd say it's a 50/50 strike rate at best. Snow White, Little Mermaid, Mufasa, Dumbo were flops and Lady and the Tramp, Peter Pan and Pinocchio were clearly all projected to be massive flops due to their horrendous quality so they got dumped onto Disney Plus. They've had some wins but I bet overall it's about break even when you look at ROI.

>>211349430

>>211347312
Probably because L&S is incredibly popular. Sure it might not be as in your face as other things, but at least out and about around where I live, I see more Stitch stuff, be they clothes or car stickers, than pretty much any other Disney-themed merchandise. The original movie crosses a lot of generations, since you have nostalgic millennials and early zoomers who watched it when it was new (some of who are now parents themselves who will take their kids to see it), Gen Alpha kids who want to see it because Stitch is still a zany little alien, and Boomers plus early Gen Xers who like Stitch in the same way they like the Minions. It isn't like there's much hope for any new real Lilo and Stitch movies or series, so at this point, a soulless live action cashgrab is the best they're going to get and what they're willing to settle for. I highly doubt that many of the people going to see it will wind up preferring it to the original, and within a year, rewatches of the original movie and series will assuredly exceed the number of people who go back to watch the live action version.
Like just think about that live action Aladdin remake. Sure it did well, but in 2025, do you think anybody who says "hey, let's watch Aladdin" is talking about the live action one, and do you think anybody would actually seek (serious) clarification when posed with that question?

>>211346105 (OP)
What gets me is that it's the same director who made the first one who got hired to do this. Like yo you have no artistic integrity? There must be an implied threat of If you don't do this movie, we won't put you in the director's seat for any future animated project again, capiche

>>211348194
I think normies only consider hollywood slop valid art. If it's animated or a video game, it's not "real" until a couple mexicans and blacks do a reenactment in front of cameras

>>211350141
I only have an emotional response to this because Astrid destroyed teen anon’s heart when the movie came out, and he was 17 at the time. Good music too, and anon was the type who really got emotional from music.

>>211350141
No, let's not do that. It's only one of the best animated movies ever made.

>>211350141
name one flaw

>>211350127
Most of those "dorky" "white" guys were still 7/10s. They just slapped them in schlubby clothes and played up their "lovable awkwardness" so they'd pass as Hollywood 4/10s. This is for a particular reason, because they want the female audience, and the female audience is inherently repulsed by any man involvee in a fictional romance who isn't at least a 6/10. Yes, Seth Rogen is much more attractive than the average man (symmetrical face, strong jaw, good chin, deep-set eyes), which is why they made they that stupid Knocked Up movie. This is why you'll never see somebody like, say, Tim Robinson as a lead even in a "dorky guy gets hot girl" movie, because he's more of a real life 4-5/10.

>>211350141
You sure you're on the right board?

>>211350213
I was 20 when the first How to Train your Dragon came out.
This is bad for the economics of the movie, because even the people I know who had kids their kids aren't over 10. Basically anyone who enjoyed How to Train Your Dragon when it came out is probably 25 or younger. They don't have kids and they certainly don't have kids that would be good to go see an action-heavy adventure about 3D animals flying around.
When Lilo and Stitch came out I was 12, so people who had kids in their 20s have kids who are about the age to take them to it and people who had kids in their 30s remember how popular the character was with kids.

No that is Indiana Jones because this is the spitting image of what's called adventure.

I want you to know that your second parahraph out of nowhere caught me off-guard and gave me a good chuckle during this depressing day anon, bless ye. And yeah Indiana Jones might be the king, but it also feels a bit pulpy and matiné. HTTYD has an epic quality serious quality to it.

I really hated this era of filmmaking, it psyopped an entire generation into worshipping pussy. It's like the shitty modern anime where the protag is a feckless loser who spends 200 chapters unable to ask a girl out and is saying dumb shit like "she locked us into the storage closet together and she's taking her clothes off, does this mean she's angry at me..?" and then acting like it's the greatest achievement in human history to get a first date.
it's repulsive on a visceral level. it inflates women's egoes to the outer reaches of the solar system and teaches men they should consider themselves lucky if a woman deigns to grace him with her presence of a few moments.

>>211352908
nigga Hollywood has always been controlled by megacorps. are you forgetting there was an era where Hollywood films existed to be 90 minute commercials for DuPont and General Motors? Leftys have been crying about "late stage capitalism" since Marx himself was alive. what actually happens is companies grow, get fat, rot, and get displaced. it's a cycle, one that takes a generation or two. and every generation thinks theirs is the "end stage" because they're historically illiterate and don't understand this has happened a dozen times before.

Hollywood is being boycotted indefinitely until the DEI shit ends.

>>211347312
L&S is the youngest movie Disney's remade (yet), so it's touching on direct nostalgia from millennials and zoomers. It was also relatively controversy free, with the biggest issue (the shitty ending) only being revealed after hordes had already bought their tickets.

As someone posting on this website, I'm sure you're aware Snow White was the centre of multiple online shitstorms. The movie itself is an adaptation of a film that's nearly 100 years old. While Disney's done a better job at keeping their library relevant than anyone itself, the audience that movie was most important to are dead.

>>211350127
That's exactly why Jay voices the lead in the animated HTTYD movies.

>>211349541
Hollywood is a business. Universal and DreamWorks are owned by Comcast, a publicly traded company. Adaptations and sequels are the bulk of the highest grossing films year in and year out. Doing remakes like this allows companies to cash-in on the goodwill and nostalgia from the original film. Zoomers are old enough to buy movie tickets and have kids themselves. Minecraft was the same story.

>>211347312
Lilo and Stitch hard carried Disney in the early 2000s. Stitch was basically promoted to the Mickey Mouse friend group in theme park merch and was inescapable for quite a while.
Really what caused him to fade to the background was John Lasseter getting into the company, booting Chris Sanders off of his victory lap project American Dog and turning it into the mediocre sludge that was Bolt, and asserting his and Pixar's dominance.

Instead we're just surrounded by browns and going nowhere.

>check
>came out in 2010
Huh, it's a bit older than I remembered, still not old enough to warrant a remake, artistically speaking, like what does the remake add over the OG, what's something new and interesting that it adds to the table? Nothing

Why would they remake the exact same reinterpretation of the book again, instead of doing something interesting like going back and reinterpreting the book again to make a different story?

>>211358854
>Live in Shitdongistan
>Do not improve Shitdongistan
>Do not internalize that Shitdongistanians are the reason Shitdongistan is shit
>Attempt to leave Shitdongistan and bring Shitdongistanians to the rest of the world
>Rest of the world becomes Shitdongistan

Realistically here, there's an element of truth to what you're saying. It is as much the fault of the people letting them in as it is the fault of the people coming here, but lets not get it twisted that both are responsible. If the Shitdongistanians would do even a moment of self-inspection and self-realization they'd realize that they're the problem and not attempt to export that problem to places that work. Instead they'd spend their time tearing down their fellow Shitdongistanians to try and keep them contained in Shitdongistan so the rest of the world need not contract the disease. If you have an internalized hatred of something and you know you have it, like, say, AIDS, the proper thing to do is to leave the sexual dating market so you don't spread AIDS. You're not supposed to go date women in other countries so at least it isn't Shitdongistanians getting AIDS but rather foreigners you don't give a fuck about.

I'll never forgive him for that. Deserved to get metoo'd and cancelled for ruining that kino. Everything that was fresh and original was junked in favor of generic and soulless.

>>211359120
In an ideal world, where people are rational, they would do what you suggest, they would stay in their country and improve it instead of leaving for greener pastures. Unfortunately the people who are in a situation where they feel compelled to live their country for a better functioning one have no power to make a tangible effect on the dire situation of their place of origin, such countries are troubled by problems so deeply rooted that solving them would require a miracle. The only realistic thing you as a Shitdongistaner can do to live a better life is to just leave, you only live once after all. Most likely to feel compelled to "fix" your own country you need willpower, and a sense of community, of belonging, that your sacrifice will do good to your fellow countrymen, but that's just something that isn't there because of atomization, living in the city does that but also using electronics has this dis-integrating effect where you feel disconnected from your compatriots, you don't really love them enough to risk your neck for them, hence emigration.

All that being said I would still oppose immigration, the excessive, demographic replacement kind, but I see where these people are coming from

>>211358395
Shot by shot remakes by definition are soulless. Eventually we will be able to do that with AI so there’s no point to it.

>>211359499
Well, I hope they're happy with being the AIDS in my nation because now we have all the same problems with community, governance, decency, standards and rationality. I can't blame them for leaving Shitdongistan but I can blame them for turning the nation I was born in into it, certainly. Now my countrymen are doomed to be Shitdongistanians and Shitdongistan is still Shitdongistan. I guess the next step is for all of us to go to the next nation so that it can become Shitdongistan as well, since there's no hope for us here.

The actual solution is quite simple, very straightforward, and wholly understood by most nations prior to the 1960s. Whites extract wealth, browns are extracted from, browns stay in the AIDS zone because browns are the AIDS. Now what choice is there for improvement? Our choices are to burn everything and start over again or just wait while things keep getting worse. The disease is already here and it doesn't want to leave. We're certainly not going to convince them that brown-ness is the problem, either, so I guess it comes back around to fire and blood versus waiting and rotting.

If they really wanted to do something different they’d make a more faithful adaptation of the books, since the original movie has pretty much fuck all similarity apart from some of the names. The fact they made it so good in spite of this is frankly a miracle.

Of course they won’t do that, since toothless is the star of the show, and having an accurate depiction of a lazy, midget, useless asshole would be one bitch to try selling.

Honestly outside of Astriad being some 6.5 mixed chick instead of a hot blond, Most of the raceswaps were background characters no one cares about.

>Of course they won’t do that, since toothless is the star of the show, and having an accurate depiction of a lazy, midget, useless asshole would be one bitch to try selling.
The remake is all about the girl.

perfect. not only is it a loose adaptation of the book series at best, it's focusing on one of the characters that was made for the movie

Too be fair, all of them aside from Astrid are supposed to be ugly in the movie. No reason for her to be fat though. Also, why is the guy a ginger?

>>211366427
>aside from Astrid
she wasn't very cute either but in Hiccup's view she was pretty or whatever

>>211350141
he spoke the truth, and they hated him for it

I just checked out the trailer again and it looks cheap. No colors (in a children's movie!), lifeless acting, CGI looks very CGI next to the actors, trailers spoils the whole story.

astrid caught a terminal case of negrosis, and the primitive herbal medicines of the viking settlement couldn't help her

They massacred my girl.

Directors often like to rather ruin their work than having someone else have success with it.
Prominent recent example: Joker 2.

Plus he probably liked the easy money.

>>211366749
It looks like he's made an effort to keep the movie as similar to the original as possible as not to ruin it, but he probably had no say in the casting.

>>211366856
He likely didn't change a thing because that sounds like work and he's here for the money.

This. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if audiences who watch live action Lilo and Stitch would bitch why Angel isn't in it, they likely know more of Stitch as a brand than Stitch from the original movie, and at most only a vague nostlagia about the 2D movie.

All of the live action remakes are wins from Disney's perspective, because the main reason producing them is not to actually make money, although that is a nice bonus if they do.

Its to retain copyright and a trademark on the original cartoon. That includes things like the character designs and songs.

Disney make more money on merch and use of characters than the movies by miles. In order to keep doing this after a certain period of time, either based on when a work becomes public domain or when a contract states rights on certain things revert to someone else if a new film has not been made (sunset clauses), they have to make a new film. All those shite sequels in the 90s were not just cash grabs but suring up ownership rights too, all those times when Disney sued children's hospitals for having paintings of Disney characters on their window were too. Part of trademark law is that you have to be seen using and protecting your intellectual property in order to be able to claim it as your trademark.

That's how Bass have managed to protect a simple red triangle as one of the oldest copyrights in the world. A fucking triangle. And why McDonald's sue if anyone else with the common surname McDonald dares to name any food adjacent company after themself. Nintendo also have a reputation for having lawyers on speed-dial ever since they almost got had up for a similar thing using the name Kong.

So why not just release a new animated remake, or another low quality sequel? Its because Disney got rid of its hand drawn animators, all they do now is CGI, this means in nearly all cases it would cost more to make a good quality animated film than just a live action film that is "good enough".

If you look where the budgets of the live action films are highest, this matches up with the ones they sell the most t-shirts of in places like Primark, so you see what is happening there...

Is she or blonde Astrid a they/them? What is up with the nonsensical pronouns.

I want to have sex with Nico Parker. That is all.
