![]() Either way, this The Devil Wears Prada-esque feature-length is more akin to a prequel than a remake (especially if you consider the 1996’s 101 Dalmation to be one of the first Disney live-action spins and that Emma Stone’s character is a past version of Glenn Close’s) and more closely resembles Maleficent in its focus on making a villain the protagonist. Actually, in my opinion, my little rant above was totally unnecessary for this post because simply put, Cruella falls considerably far away from the wardrobe of remakes, both in content and tone, so I may have just borrowed your time a tiny bit more than I should have. ![]() Still, if you have either liked or disliked the movies, you are very much entitled to do so.Ĭontroversy (and a touch of audience alienation) aside, the most recent episode of this “love it or hate it” franchise, rather a quasi-installment to the list of Disney live-action remakes, is Cruella. If someone does not like how Disney treats their live-action remakes and finds a community of people who agree, they can and should have their opinions, and Disney can learn from some critiques, but to believe that their views are the truth of the matter and that everyone else stands with them is misguided. That is a factor, amongst many others, people should consider when reviewing a movie’s performance above only believing in the words of the vocal majority. This more optimistic perspective to the live-action remakes where, in the majority of times, people keep on coming back for more, not unlike the MCU movies with the amount of money both franchises make with their hits and misses, partially proves that not everybody who watches a movie and enjoys it goes on social media to defend it, so the unilateral view presented about them on social media is not the only reality of the situation (even film reviewers have disparate opinions). As two examples, Beauty and the Beast made $1.26 billion globally, while The Lion King made $1.56 billion worldwide. (I appreciate a lot of aspects of 2019’s Aladdin, including the Bollywood-inspired dance sequences and Jasmine’s new song and her portrayal as a princess who cares about politics, Agrabah, and its citizens, earning the position of Sultana, and 2019’s Lion King is a visual and technological marvel regardless of the “emotionless” character facial expressions.) Moreover, even if such opinions thrive in places like Metacritic, Twitter, and sometimes YouTube, box office numbers provide a whole new worldview to the vocally unbeloved motion pictures. This criticism is not particularly part of my experience. ![]() Either from their uncreative approach at almost precisely copying the source material while adding nothing more than a little sprinkle of overcooked CGI and a pinch of Uncanny Valley to many more abstract or object-based characters like the Genie from Aladdin and Lumiere and Cogsworth from Beauty and the Beast, or from the movie’s blind faith towards recreating the magic of the animation instead of what makes the original films great, these motion pictures have received a lot of hate regardless. Disney live-action remakes of animation films have come under the scrutiny of a vocal number of fans of the originals. They are actually supposed to be pencil cans, but they worked perfectly for this! These are what we ordered: Mini Curbside Trash and Recycle Can Set. UPDATE: I've had some people ask about the mini garbage cans my kids are playing with in these pictures. It loops forever because Dash is forever dumping things into his garbage truck like this. This child has a third sense about what day the garbage man comes!Īnd I could resist making this fun animation. At 6:15, and guess who was already waiting by the window? Yup. I got up a bit early to take a picture of Dash with the garbage truck, thinking I would have to wake up my son. So, here are your pictures of the cutest fly you ever saw, and a very functional garbage truck.Īnd here are is the Snap Happy Mom family costumes for 2013: Waste Management, at your service! The garbage truck, garbage collectors, and the obligatory fly. ![]() ![]() My parents tell me I told EVERYONE that joke when I was 5! Well this truck doesn't actually have any wheels, and it only has one fly, but you get the point. When I was little, this was my favorite joke:Ī garbage truck! And you know what hangs out near the garbage truck. ![]()
