Why did they have to muddle things up with a lame sci-fi setting? Did they think they would improve a timeless classic by changing it? What hubris!

Do you call hubris when someone covers a song and changes the genre?
The short answer is: ALREADY DONE TO DEATH.

It would depend on the song. If it were an established classic, then yes, I would.

DIsney already did a traditional version of Treasure Planet in the 50s (live action). They wanted to try something different.
shareIt's a well known story set in a different setting, like Star Wars, Hyperion, and Apocalypse Now. It's a very, very old trope.

I actually think the space setting in this movie is one of the coolest and most unique/original I have ever seen. Liked it immensely!
shareThe space/Steam punk setting were the last bit of ingredients to making it more unique and cool. Visually and their ideas came off really original. The whole sean setting has been done to death, and it would've been much different, and less original.
Showing off is the fools idea of glory
