 DISNEY’S MAGIC IN LIVE-ACTION/CGI REMAKES



 Disney is remaking old films, most of them where animated and all of them based on fairy-tales, books or legends, to live-action films with some CGI animation in them, of course. Now you will ask: Why they are making it? Of course, because they want the timeless magic to come back to live. And that’s why they are live-action.

 In this category, we already have four films: “Alice in Wonderland” directed by Tim Burton, premiered on March 2010 and make $1 billion, “Oz the Great and Powerful” directed by Sam Raimi, premiered March 2013 and make $493 million, “Maleficent” directed by Robert Stromberg, premiered May 2014 and make $758 million, and “Cinderella”, directed by Kenneth Branagh, premiered March 2015 and make $542 million. May all those movies where successful, but Alice, Oz and Maleficent had mixed reviews, just because of some darkness and changes to the original tales. So, since Cinderella, Disney decided to make those films closer to the original ones. And that’s why Cinderella had positive reviews.

 Nothing can stop Disney into making those remakes, so they are planning six other films: “The Jungle Book” directed by Jon Favreau to premiere April 2016, “Alice Through the Looking Glass” directed by James Bobin to premiere May 2016, “Pete’s Dragon” directed by David Lowery to premiere August 2016, “Beauty and the Beast” directed by Bill Condon to premiere March 2017, “Dumbo” directed by Tim Burton to premiere in 2018 and “Mulan” with no director yet, to premiere in 2019. In 2016 there will be three movies for the first time in forever, and the only reason “Alice” is taking a sequel, it’s just because there are two books, two adventures of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. “Pete’s Dragon” is the first of them to premiere out Spring, and to not be very famous. “Beauty and the Beast” is going to be musical, the first in this category. Possibly “Dumbo” will come in March 2018, and “Mulan” in the same period, but in 2019.
