Good. This film is too good to get remade.

OMG I know but i think they SHOULD remake it! They're TOTALLY gonna remake it - i bet.

This will never be remade

They may try and remake, but I'd be damned if Disney and Amblin could even THINK of trying to recapture the charm and painstaking effort of the original movie.

The thing about the original was that it was made in a time when computer graphics were still relatively new and expensive, which is why it wowed audiences back in 88, and still holds up today: the amount of practical work that went into even one minute of that movie. If they try to remake it, it's just kinda see through that they wanna make more moola off an old profit without understanding the background of the original.

Not to mention that the original was financed and made when theatrical animation was a scarce thing. I mean, sure, Don Bluth made American Tail and Land Before Time, and even then, he needed Spielberg's Amblin to push it commercially. Thanks to Roger Rabbit, you have more studios today, like Dreamworks(its own animation department formed from the ashes of The failed Amblimation, Universal and Fox producing animated films more frequently because CG is less painstaking than traditional( no hating on CG, FYI). So, if they remake it, there is no longer that historical context that the original carries. Those are my two cents

A "true" remake wouldn't work for several reasons, but a "reboot"... now that's an entirely different story. And who knows if the proposed sequel/prequel will ever come to fruition (we lose either way, hehe).
