…I’m talking about the recently announced Hercules remake. And recently is the keyword in many ways. While it doesn’t bug me as much as the live action remake of Moana, it’s still a relatively recent Disney project compared with the release dates of some Disney movies. And really, while I’ve never really been a fan of that movie, I don’t see anything about it that would warrant a remake. The art is excellent, the story likewise. It really doesn’t need to be altered. Not that there aren’t Disney movies that couldn’t benefit from a remake. Snow White maybe. Sleeping Beauty. They are very much of the time and could certainly be punched up, even improve the plot a little. Certainly with Snow White. There wasn’t that much characterisation in that movie or any real character arcs. Yes, you don’t want to stray too far from the original source material and say turn the seven dwarfs from folklore miners into dwarfs of a Tolkienesque design - although that might be cool in a way.
So, yeah while there are some movies that can benefit from a remake but I’d like Disney to put a little more effort into making some new projects as well.
