Live Action Adaptations
With the exception of the Beauty and the Beast (simply because it followed the animation but added a few extra bits), I find other adaptations not as good as the original, especially when it comes to anime adaptations, what are everyone else's thoughts?

I agree, I would love to see another original Disney based on old fairytales or folklore. It seems like a lot of movies are just doing remakes rather than making original films at the moment.AliceofX wrote: ↑23 Aug 2018, 14:23 I've only seen Cinderella. It was okay but nothing special. I think you should make a remake when you can improve or add something to the original. I don't see how making live action adaptations does any of those things. It seems like Disney just wants to cash in on past successes rather than create something new.

Let's hope it gives us the same feelings as the live action of Beauty and the Beast did! The Little Mermaid was one of my favourite Disney films growing up.VJohnson0615 wrote: ↑22 Aug 2018, 16:56 I really enjoyed the Live adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. I didn’t see Cinderella, but I have high hopes for the Little Mermaid. My sister and I were just brainstorming on accesses we thinking would be good in it!

I completely agree, I think a lot of it is to show these stunning effects but it falls short on the overall feel that we had with the original versions.acupofsubtletea wrote: ↑21 Aug 2018, 10:36 I haven’t seen any anime adaptions, but I tend to agree with you about the Disney ones. I really enjoyed almost everything about Beauty and the Beast, but most of the other ones have fallen short for me. They’re all visually stunning, but I’ve been feeling like the casting of big name actors and extending the plot to make it more feature length hasn’t done anything to make the new live action any better than the original.

Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood is one of my favourite animes. Knowing how bad previous live adaptations of animes usually are, I decided to not watch the live action of this. I'm glad I didn't now that I've read your comment!amsula_2018 wrote: ↑26 Aug 2018, 16:31 I don't like the live adaptation of full metal alchemist. It's horrible!!!

Oh, right. I totally forgot about Jungle Book. I guess when you think of Disney you immediately think of the princesses, so it totally slipped my mind. Personally, I thought it was meh. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but the ending was different than in the animated film. It completely changes the meaning of the story and not for the better.

I haven't actually seen the Jungle Book live action yet. I think Attack on Titan already has a live-action movie out, I haven't seen that but have seen the anime, I can imagine the movie would be scary if it sticks to the premise of the anime/manga.ObsessedBookNerd wrote: ↑31 Aug 2018, 01:53 I liked Beauty & the Beast, I heard the Jungle Book was good, Cinderella was terrible, I want to see Aladdin because I think it will be spectacular. Tarzan came out pretty bad because it was confusing. I heard Attack on Titan will scare you & will be pretty good I don’t know if it came out yet.

My thoughts exactly, it's clear they aren't making them out of creative inspiration.AliceofX wrote: ↑23 Aug 2018, 14:23 I've only seen Cinderella. It was okay but nothing special.

Malefecent was... edgy in a strange and terrible way. Cinderella was a swing and miss. Tarzan I'm pretty sure was entirely filmed with green screen, as if the filmmakers just didn't care anymore.
