Moana (Live-Action Film)

[Jerroddragon]

We are three

I mean, you can only ride that fad for so long before audiences eventually wise up.

Transformer movies were consistent high-performers until they weren’t. Now, even the good films in that series are flopping and the franchise is on its last legs cinematically.

We are Three bad Jurassic Movies in...heck I would say only the OG is the only amazing one, Jurassic 3/Jurassic World are fun fine movies...and the rest are just....yeah not great

My point is look at Lilo and Sitch, the interest can dislike the new ending and what not but it made bank and is making a sequel

I bet we see a live action Moana 2 and maybe even 3

Doing live action remakes of 30+ year old movies made sense to me. Doing a shot-for-shot remake of a movie that came out less than a decade ago-- that JUST had an animated sequel last year-- does not, and it's even lazier than splicing together a few Disney+ TV show episodes and calling it "Moana 2"

If we want Disney to stop with these consumer practices, the best way is to vote with our wallets, otherwise they will keep on the same course.

I genuinely forgot Moana 2 happened, for like ... a pretty long time now haha. I don't think I've heard anyone bring up any characters, jokes, story moments from that one at any point across the last year. I can't recall hearing anything from the soundtrack either, basically ever. I'm in Central Florida theme park spheres too. I live, work, and spend my free time in Disney City essentially. Nothing.

Despite the extra billions added to Disney's bank account, Moana 2 has impacted my life exactly as much as Monsters at Work. That's a bad sign, I think?

I loved the Beyond song. Can I Get a Chee Hoo? was catchy for the movie too. Otherwise, yeah -- it was pretty forgettable.

Yeah, this looks absolutely unneeded. Hoping it bombs harder than The Rock's wig in this.

Unfortunately I need this to make money so they don't cancel the live-action Tangled (which I think will be good because they actually hired a director with experience in film musicals for once)

All I can hope for at this point is that they run out of good movies to remake and eventually move on to the bad ones that might actually have a chance to improve on the original.

I think the vast majority of folks can agree this remake is absolutely the most pointless of them all when it was announced, and this trailer is reaffirming that in spades.

There's a very bitter truth here, since what you described was the Pete's Dragon remake. It did improve over the original and I feel it's one of the better remakes due to that...but it's box office of $143.7 million is nothing compared to the billions the remakes of the good movies raked in.

One of the reasons studios don't remake films which didn't do well is the sheer fact they didn't do well in the first place. They don't want to risk having a repeat of that kind of performance, whereas if they remake a good film, they already know there's at least an audience for it and therefore money that can be made on it.

That all said, with Dana Walden recently scrapping several remakes that were in production, it feels like there's a sliver of a change here. Here's hoping!

Even if the original underperformed during its initial run, I definitely think there is an audience for a new Princess and the Frog where Tiana stays human throughout it.
