[@ryanriaz]

Well said 😂

[@fujinshu]

Or they'll simply stop (stylised) animation entirely and only go for live action movies, only using their animation studios for CGI. Live action, while more expensive, takes less time to produce overall than animation, and as part of an arms race for more content at a rapid pace, Disney has a lot of money to throw around at them to speed things up and produce movies at breakneck speed to gain market attention. Although would prefer to see Pixar either get a management buyout or join Skydance instead so they can still produce animation like normal.

I love Moana. One of my favourite Disney movies. However, do we need a live-action remake, especially this soon? Live-action remakes tend to be hit or miss.

It hasn't even been 10 years since the animated version was released. I doubt anyone is looking at Moana thinking "oh man I remember when I first saw it" with that twinge of nostalgia like there was with Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Jungle Book, Mulan, Aladdin, Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Christopher Robin, 101 Dalmatians, Maleficent, Dumbo, Lady and the Tramp, Pinocchio and the upcoming Peter Pan and Wendy, Little Mermaid and Snow White.

But the pricesses would have to time travel.

[@turkoala9193]

If they really want to do a live adaptation, make it a Broadway musical! As a bonus, it would a make a bunch of money from schools putting on small productions of it.

[@carterryans]

The thing is Lin Manuel Miranda said he wanted to try to make it a broadway show but he doesn’t know how to do the ocean but he said maybe encanto

But Moana 2 has come Before live action??? 😂

[@gracegrace8996]

I would rather have a sequel then a live action remake but I mean I have some kind of hope for this film I mean especially if the rock wants to reprise his role

[@ThePlotaGuy7]

At this rate, we’re gonna get live-action remakes for Disney films that haven’t released yet

[@denmark_dreamer]

I am ok with you guys making an old Disney movie into a live action but moana was released so recently that we still love it. Maybe a sequel to it would be a better version than a live action.

[@leilani0808]

I think I’m ok with both but I do wish they made a 2 Moana first before a live action but I’m still excited to see how they make this I want to see who Moana will be but I swear if she’s white and not Hawaiian imma be made not because she’s white but because they’ve been changing peoples colors in the movies like the petter pan movie tinker bell is black I have no hate what so ever I am not racist but like why would you change there characters that much I want to see who Moana is first

The original cast is returning, so she’ll definitely be back

[@williamchollick959]

@@arthur_here2741 The original cast? Only Dwayne Johnson and Auli’i Cravalho.

[@mrj.kottari8453]

As pretty and talented as Auli'i is, imo we need an actress with bit darker features to play Moana in the live action. Auli'i has rather fair skin compared to Moana's and the story takes place around 800yrs ago when Polynesian people had not yet mixed with European settlers, so it would be more logical and representful for someone with darker complexion to play Moana in the l-a. Most polynesian girls aren't as fair-skinned as Auli'i (whose father is portuguese if I remember right?)

[@RRM693]

Disney is starting a new trend: duplicating movies. They can make 2 movies at the same time by making an animated version for kids, then a live action version for adults. And you can tell the live action versions are for adults because the trailers are always desaturated and the animal characters are always uncanny. Disney is truly thinking outside the box with how much they can scrape the bottom of the barrel

[@tidepoolclipper8657]

Also pointless race swapping; under the supposed banner of "progress".

[@tidepoolclipper8657]

Disney is screaming about progress, yet they turn around and got rid of the melanin in Nani and David anyways.
