The Walt Disney Company has found great financial success in remaking many of its animated classics. The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella and Christopher Robin are just a few examples of the House of Mouse taking its cartoon characters into a live-action setting to mixed critical reviews but commercial acclaim. As long as the profitability of these productions continues to excel, Disney will happily continue down the path. Creatively, it provides opportunities for further spinoffs, with The Little Mermaid gaining a Disney Jr. show, for example.Brand synergy and nostalgia are two of the key factors driving these ambitions, but critical backlash and fan reactions are creating negative discourse around future projects. For now, Disney will likely stick to the plan, but if that pushback affects the box office numbers long-term, then Disney will have to switch strategies. However, there are so many fantastic movies for the Hollywood studio to adapt to live-action that it seems its strategy has failed to focus on the right entries.The criticisms levied at Disney’s live-action releases have been pretty consistent. For starters, the question is asked again and again about whom the reboots are actually for. The fanbase has already fallen in love with the original classics, and it might be best if Disney attempts to create new live-action franchises so that they can reach the heights of the Pirates of the Caribbean series. However, this critique is always quelled by the box office numbers. There’s also criticism about Disney’s refusal to change and discourse surrounding any differences between the original interpretations and the new iterations.RELATED: Rumor – Taron Egerton, Ariana Grande to Lead Disney’s Live-Action Hercules RemakeRELATED: Disney’s Haunted Mansion Mirrors an Even More Terrifying Horror Movie
