Good. Obvious cash grab.

[–] johnmiller (3889) 5 years ago

Agreed! Man, doing three of these in rapid succession is really pushing it.

[–] samoanjoes (56673) 5 years ago

Releasing them all close together makes no sense but also remaking as many as they are makes no sense either.

Beauty and the Beast
Cinderella
The Jungle Book
Alice in Wonderland
101 Dalmations
Sleeping Beauty (Maleficent)
Mulan (later this year)

Coming up:
The Little Mermaid
Lady and the Tramp
The Sword in the Stone
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Pinocchio

There are just way too many. Just let people enjoy the originals.

Down to 55 from 45 critics.

Imdb rating is increasing (6.2) as genuine votes overtake fakes. A prominent peak at 7-8*.
Make sure you mark fake 1&10 * reviews as unhelpful so they're not promoted.

Imdb rating jumped 0.8 to 7.0 (18k) in 3 days.

I gave it a 7 and at best this is a 7 it is an exact copy of the original

Dis is good. It wuz only cartoon bec live action wuz impossible @ ze time. I doubt Disney will ever make traditional animation again.
