…the shit came out in 2016. We haven’t even hit the 10 year threshold.
putting already beloved classics that worked in the medium they originated in through a desaturated (and frequently underexposed) “live-action” machine that strips most of the magic away from the story in pursuit of computer-animated “photorealism” done by overtaxed VFX houses acting as animators only without pesky unions getting in the way is…
…how long before audiences clock that maybe simply hitting the “Live-Action” button isn’t as validating as we’ve been led to believe? **That maybe animated things are better in animation** ***for a fucking reason***
Making things “real” doesn’t inherently make them better. What about Moana is going to be improved by spending 250mil to make it *less* fantastical and more “real?”
While I’m sure the live-action Moana remake has been in the works for a while, it feels like The Rock retreating after he fucked the corpse of DC apart.
Also, I get they want to use Whatserface before she’s too old to play a live-action version of Moana, but Disney seriously can’t wait more than HALF A FUCKING DECADE before remaking animated films now?
This makes no sense. Moana is still a relatively new IP that is popular and has had only one animated movie. The Disney remakes are exhausting but at least it could be argued that they hadn’t had a new release in that franchise when it got a dreaded remake. This makes literally no sense beyond ego. Just make another animated sequel (not to mention a Disney+ show was announced a while back)
People are going to rightfully complain about this (all of these remakes have been absolute garbage and are frankly insulting to the medium of animation.)
That said, until audiences stop rewarding Disney for this, they will continue to churn out this garbage.
If the audience is happily stuffing their faces with slop, there is no need to spend money to feed them steak
Are they gonna give him hair, or is he going to be his bald self?
I read they were originally going to have him be bald in the animated version like the Rock is, but an ingenuous consultant said a god like his character would be proud of his hair.
Will they throw the hair out the window?
Will it be an early sign of how serious they are taking this live action version?
I have in my possession, what I think is a very cool, hand-carved fish hook necklace from Maui. I got it about 25 years ago and really treasure it. I tried to give it to my son and he said “Why would I want a Moana necklace.” I tried to tell him it was not a Moana necklace, but he actually laughed and joked that he would get bullied if he wore it.
This sucks man
Not everything needs a live action remake. I will not be watching this. Make new movies Disney. Please.
Nope.
This felt very strange. Has Disney announced a movie like this before?
Just make a normal fucking sequel. We don’t need live action everything…
Dwayne The Rock Johnson as Maui
Kevin Hart as Moana
Lessssgo!
Oh fuck off.
Had to check that today was not 4/1.
Can this please leave my feed?
Ugh
The hierarchy of power in the Disney Live Action remake Universe is about to change
…no.
This has to be the most absurd live action from Disney yet.

Is this the shortest time between the animated version and the live action remake?

Wow. Now they’re remaking movies that aren’t even a decade old. Fucking crazy.
Disney’s hierarchy of power is about to change.
This is just because his daughters didn’t believe he was Maui in that cute wee Instagram video. His ego won’t allow that.
The first movie isn’t even 10 years old what in the fuck
Cant wait for Alan Tudyk to repeat [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaGYXjMwS60) but in CGI pants! Awesome use of his Juliard skills
The original isn’t even a decade old, what the fuck is the point?

This is the most obvious cash grab in the histroy of cash grab.
Of all the things that shouldn’t happen, this shouldn’t happen the most.
Is it still April Fool’s Day?
I hope Temuera Morrison reprises his role as Moana’s father in this.
Add some audience laughter and it’d feel like an SNL sketch poking fun at Disney that’d be done if The Rock was the guest host
Cool. A “reimagining” featuring all the characters and music from the original that came out 7 years ago.
Are they gonna give him hair, or is he going to be his bald self?

Am I overthinking this?
Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z.
Is Auli’i Cravalho coming back as Moana too?
This is a big yuck

Now I hate Moana.
