Who fucking cares?


Go watch the 1971 version.

If you keep handing over your money for shit, you will keep getting shit.

They ain't getting any of my money.

Although it will be curious to see who this movie panders to.

it looks like shit. more bad CGI and a forced story trying way too hard to be magical, cute, clever and whimsical. also cue black sidekick for diversity points and bump with demographic viewers. it just feels like manufactured crap.

Because it is.

They have to have some POC or LGBTQblahblahblah+ involved if they want to get an Oscar nomination. It's the rules now.

The 2004 movie did make money but that was almost twenty years ago.

Kids.

new parents keep having kids, they use this fodder to go watch shiny/pretty for the children.
i too love the old old one, but that is not in the theater anymore. it SHOULD be... instead of this mindless bling like this film, but

if you film it, parents with kids will come.
disney been doing this for decades: reheating old kids films for the new kids

I would MUCH RATHER pay decent money to see a new 4K restored scanned, HDR, version of the old old film with improved dynamic range audio.

Buy the UHD disc that came out a year ago then.
