You're actually right about that. One such example I can think of is the Swastika. It's an ancient, religious symbol that dates back thousands of years. In many regions around the world, such as Asia, and in many religions, such as Hinduism, the Swastika symbolizes happiness, good luck, as well as well-being. However, after the Nazis adopted it as the symbol of their party, and did some of the most heinous things in human history, the Swastika came to be seen by many as a symbol of racism, hate, bigotry, genocide, and war. It's really sad, actually, and it sadly looks like the Swastika will never be restored to its original symbolism ever again.

That was one thing I was scared about for the remake. I'm glad he had his own version of the Genie. Robin Williams is still the number 1 Genie.

Will Smith did not have a good singing voice as a result of his rap background. The guy could not inflect or change his vocal tones worth a damn, most of the songs he sings come across as one note monotone vocals that do nothing for the music itself. And he is working with instrumentals that are a step up from the original. His genie comes across, less as a friend and someone who genuinely cares for Aladdin, and more like an ass who is annoyed to even be with him most of the time.

I gotta disagree with you on this. 1. The actor for Aladdin sounded like he was reading his lines as if they were in rehearsal, just listen to how he delivers his lines. 2. They added several extra characters that had no business in that movie (namely Jasmine's hand-maiden). 3. The music was awful in terms of its vocals but its instrumentals were the only good thing about it. 4. As for Jasmine, they tried to play up the idea of some girl boss trope but it didn't exactly pan out and was a poorly handled due to her "coming out strong" song being nothing more than a dream sequence that went nowhere. She tried to play her character way too seriously. 5. Will Smith's genie comes across more like he is annoyed to even be there rather than someone who is caring and wants to help. His singing is bad because of his rap background; the guy struggles to sing higher or lower than a single note and it comes out as a more monotone, one-note, belt. 6. The actor who played Jafar was just so unconvincing as a villain, don't get me started on his voice. The movie was bad, let's be honest.

[@Snake-bj2gl]

If Aladdin is on this list, it was DEFINITELY NOT Will Smith's fault. He did a FANTASTIC job of portraying the genie in his own way. Will really felt the pressure of having to live up to Robin William's genie. In multiple interviews, he explained that he would really have to do the genie in his own way, but still honor the memory of Robin Williams because of how Robin turned the genie into such a BELOVED and ICONIC character. Will Smith REALLY KNEW that the audience would be judging his performance as the genie and he REALLY KNEW that the audience would be very CRITICAL of EVERY LITTLE DETAIL. If the Aladdin remake is bad, that is NOT Will Smith's fault. He did a WONDERFUL job at bringing his own sense of style and flavor to the genie's character. He did NOT disappoint.

[@samuelquan3826]

[@jeddflanders9394]

And this travesty of a recreation won the 43rd Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Remake or Sequel hence why it is number 1 on this list.

[@jamesgeorgi6627]

They both also come from the same as year as Pinocchio a True Story, a.k.a. the home of “father When can I leave to be on my on own. I got the whole world to see.” by the way, whatever happened to “Pinocchio no way home”

[@TurkeyFaceX]

I agree with your top pick, but you didn't list the biggest reason why its number 1. See Pinocchio is a story about learning from your mistakes and becoming a better person through the punishments of one's actions. Pinocchio wasn't allowed to make a bad decision in this film. He makes it to school instead of turning around and choosing to go the other way. One could argue the cricket is the only reason he made it to school, but the fact he made it to his destination means the point of this scene is lost. The most glaring flaw has to be his lack of destructive desires once he gets to Pleasure Island. He turns into a donkey in the original because he was being an ass, but here, he was determined not to break anything, so where's the lesson? It fails as a modern day adaptation because he's meant to be flawed and becomes a better person through his mistakes. But in a film where he isn't allowed to make them in the first place, this film fails to adapt the original story

[@aubreyunoficalcastmemberwd1522]

And they messed up Jiminy Cricket too

[@hunterolaughlin]

Well, in the original, Pinocchio was less of an ass compared to the other boys at Pleasure Island, so that’s why he didn’t fully transform and only grew ears and a tail. My theory is that a boy completely transforms into an ass if they reach a higher level of badness and considering Pinocchio was at a minor level, his transformation is much more slower than instantaneous as it was with Lampwick’s.

Of course pinocchio is at the top of the list. The fact that Disney got outdone by guillermo del toro proves that they should've left this movie alone.

The only live action "remake" I enjoyed was Cruella. It felt like a new take on the character and I adored the costume designs and punk rock atmosphere. Cruella was an entertaining main character, all the acting was fantastic, and the Baroness was a phenomenal antagonist. It felt like a new film and not a remake

[@KittenUndercover]

That’s because it wasn’t a remake, it was an origin story.

I feel the Aladdin remake is even worse than the Dumbo remake, because I nearly walked out of the theater when I saw Aladdin because I got angry when I saw it!

Also please stop pushing sequels, Disney need to create new IPs!

[@chelseacanales8763]

The ones that I disagree about this list are Aladdin 1999 101 Dalmatians Mulan The Lion King Alice in Wonderland They were pretty good remakes. I love the original version of those movies but the remakes were pretty good too

[@Kage342]

I gotta disagree with you on this. Aladdin 1. The actor for Aladdin sounded like he was reading his lines as if they were in rehearsal, just listen to how he delivers his lines. 2. They added several extra characters that had no business in that movie (namely Jasmine's hand-maiden). 3. The music was awful in terms of its vocals but its instrumentals were the only good thing about it. 4. As for Jasmine, they tried to play up the idea of some girl boss trope but it didn't exactly pan out and was a poorly handled due to her "coming out strong" song being nothing more than a dream sequence that went nowhere. She tried to play her character way too seriously. 5. Will Smith's genie comes across more like he is annoyed to even be there rather than someone who is caring and wants to help. His singing is bad because of his rap background; the guy struggles to sing higher or lower than a single note and it comes out as a more monotone, one-note, belt. 6. The actor who played Jafar was just so unconvincing as a villain, don't get me started on his voice. Mulan They played it way too serious, took out every single ounce of humor, turned her into a Mary Sue with superpowers, and tried to make it a bit closer to the legend which is dark and dreary to say the least. This was a movie meant specifically for a Chinese audience. The Lion King No heart, they went for realistic depictions of the animals in the wild and that hurt its ability to convey emotions since animals are all but incapable of expressing facial expressions. What their faces are showing do not line up with the emotion they are trying to express. Plus the story hasn't changed at all so there isn't anything about it to make is stand out. Alice in Wonderland Alice herself is awful because she has no emotion of any kind. Her face conveys little emotion, same with her voice. She is boring, bland, and honestly is forgettable. 1999 101 Dalmatians Honestly, I grew up watching this and prefer the animated version. It does not change much of the story, except for Pongo's owner being a game developer rather than a musician. Other than that it's the same story.

[@ChrisNeufeldMusic]

Aladdin and 101 Dalmatians are the only remakes on this list I've actually watched, and Aladdin is my favorite of the two. Even if the movie is awful, it can just be enjoyed as one of those 'so bad it's good' movies we're so fond of. And if you're not convinced, I have endured worse movies than that like Son Of The Mask and The Cat In The Hat, so believe me when I say my acquired tastes are quite diversified and have little reason to prevent me from enjoying mediocre flicks every once in a while..

[@shikishinobi]

Maleficent doesn’t get nearly enough credit for being a horrible remake. While Angelina Jolie looked and acted the part, Disney seems to misunderstand that Maleficent is supposed to be a villain, not a sympathetic protagonist. I nearly walked out on the movie when it was her delivering the kiss of true love. SHE DOESNT EVEN TURN INTO A DRAGON; HER ICONIC BATTLE! And don’t even get me started on the complete character butchery of everyone else. At least other remakes on this list go for some resemblance, whereas Maleficent just threw everything that made Sleeping Beauty good out the window and pretended their version was better. No animated movie will ever match the visual display that was Sleeping Beauty, and no live action will make it any better. As a side thought, I think Peter Pan is the antagonist. Someone who dismembers another human and feeds the piece to a crocodile isn’t a good or heroic person. He is a kid, and you cannot expect him to have the rationale of an adult. Hook is more relatable as the wronged villain over Peter who has no real redeeming qualities.

Let me just say something probably controversial real quick... Aladdin was SO FREAKING GOOD DUDE ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Yes, this film is not faithful to the original in terms of accuracy, however they gave a much bigger spotlight to all of the characters it actually mattered most. The costumes in this film are BEAUTIFUL and Will Smith's take on the genie is not meant as a recreation, it's a take. In so many ways, Robin Williams genie blows Will Smith's out of the water but in many other ways, Will Smith's blows Robin Williams' out of the water too. Two things can exist at once, stop gatekeeping nostalgia.
