Disney hasn’t exactly tasted a rousing victory when it comes to the live-action remakes of its animated classics. Yes, the majority have them have done well at the box office, but they failed to woo the critics and didn’t manage to get unanimous approval from the audience. But evidently, the dollars they still churn is enough for Disney to hope that one of its divisive live-action remakes has all the potential of becoming their next Star Wars franchise.
In a chat with The New York Times, Disney production chief Sean Bailey, who has been leading the Mouse House’s “reimagining” of its past animated movies, spoke at length about the studio’s strategy concerning live-action remakes — though The Little Mermaid re–confirmed that Disney is no hurry to relive the success of its lone winning remake. While I do expect Disney to continue inducing realism into its classics — Moana is already getting a remake even though it is not old enough to be called a classic – so far, the company has steered clear of expanding on the repackaged stories. But plans to transcend this thin line are apparently being considered.
