Disney has always been known as a producer of magic when it comes to their movies. However, with the recreation of their classic movies, some viewers don’t like the changes to the movies.

     Many of Disney’s popular movies have been turned into live-action remakes lately. These recent films include How To Train Your Dragon, Lilo & Stitch, and Snow White, with a live-action Moana already in the works. 

    In 1923, Walt Disney and his brother formed Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, and they have created a total of 837 films since then. The company has turned 27 of these movies into live-action remakes. Some of these movies have received positive reviews while others have received more negative feedback.

    In the live-action remake of “Lilo & Stitch”, Nani ends up not being able to take care of Lilo any longer and has to give her up to CPS. Despite trying to meet the demands of the social worker, she falls short and Lilo moves in with her neighbor Tūtū who is the grandmother of Nani’s love interest David.

    This goes directly against one of the main themes throughout the movie, which is “Ohana”, which means family. Which can also be seen as family sticks together throughout the original Disney film. Despite this major change, the movie was still well received by viewers.

    However, the live action version of the movie “Snow White” had some bad reviews. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the movie moves along, but the jumbles of tones and styles in this remake made it seem like they were trying to please everyone, and the content collapsed, which ended up with the film pleasing very few people. The movie also got a score of 39 percent on the website. 

    However, Disney seemed to have some luck when they released the live-action remake of “How to Train Your Dragon.” Movie reviewers claim that this movie exceeded their expectations and stuck to the original story line for the most part. It was expressed that the movie felt genuine, and the CGI was not all that bad.

    Disney could pull off a live action remake of their classics. It just takes time and effort from the creators to do so.
