Everybody says that but the live action movies have mostly made big bucks.

This one could have been big...but they cast the wrong person and changed the whole story

Same thing with The Little Mermaid. Changed too much of the story and DEI casting killed it.

I guarantee, if they have just filmed the original scripts with a little filling in that both of these would have made over one billion dollars easy.

Every damn project has Pedro Pascal in it. WHY? Again bad casting.

I may go see Thunderbolts. For some reason, it looks so bad its good material...

Bad casting and bad script. Snow White is supposed to be...white!

The wicked witch is supposed to NOT be prettier than Snow White...

I could go on, but what’s the point? They made every mistake possible and are paying for it...

I thought the first two were at least entertaining. They came before the big Superhero push, so maybe that made them seem better to me at the time.

The 3rd one was an abortion with DEI casting and a horrible script. The director losing his mind didn’t help either...

I must confess that I really like that movie. Still do today. I just watched it on youtube, I think last week.

Lilo & Stitch looks good in all the trailers. Word on it is all good.

Tangled could have been good if they kept it close to the original script and cast it correctly with no DEI picks...

Moana is going to be THE ROCK movie. Only time will tell if it sucks...

But Jerry Lewis never attempted to be nothing more than a parody of the original story. He wasn’t trying to copy Disney.

Disney has a hard time just copying itself now for some reason...

Usual rule of thumb is 50/50 split. So it has to do double to break even...

Except they can’t get away with that when they shoot in Great Britain and use their tax breaks.

It usually takes a couple of years to shake out but the true figures get released.

That’s how we found out that The Little Mermaid lost over 100 million dollars while telling everybody for months it broke even profit wise...

Song of the South was released on VHS once in the US very early on. Since then it has been released overseas in many countries and where most copies come from on the bootleg market...

Because they have it in their heads that greasy, doughy, betas who can’t act are sexy.

All word for it is good. The trailer looks good and it is expected to be a hit.

They did that in the 70’s and it was hilarious. The fairy godmother was a gay black man.

There is also a porno Flash Gordon called Flesh Gordon. It even had a sequel Flesh Gordon Meets the Cosmic Cheerleaders.
