    Maybe I'm looking too much into this, BUT...

    Could Disney be making a long play here with some of their live action remakes? When it comes to their legacy characters, they are going to lose a fair amount of them to Public Domain in the next 25 years (Steamboat Wilie hits on Jan 1). Live Action provides a fresh interpretation on these characters and locks them up for the next 75 years. I'm sure this is at least somewhat on the minds of the people that run things. (To be fair, THE LITTLE MERMAID was made in the 80s so that's not a factor with that).

      Eh, I'd like to think that wouldn't help. The copyright is for the character's likeness, isn't it? Like you said, steamboat willie goes public in 2024. I don't think making mickey into an actual mouse is going to cut it.

        With Mickey, no... But any of their Disney Princess properties are worth protecting. They make significant money off of that group of characters.

          It's possible. Hell that loophole may exist because Disney lobbied it in there.

            A lot of these stories aren't Di$ney stories anyways. Cinderella is one of the oldest stories out there and The Little Mermaid is a Hans Christian Andersen story.

            I am not sure how well the Di$ney loophole is going to hold up but I guarantee the only reason Di$ney is doing these live action remakes is because people are dumb enough to go see them. That is what Di$ney does, they churn out this stuff at an unimaginable pace to take every last cent you have. They also treat their workers like dreck whilst doing it. You should hear what visual artists say about working on Di$ney projects some time...you will never complain about crappy CGI again!

              I understand that Disney doesn't own a lot of the characters in fair tales. But what they do own in the distinctive look that is associated with their character interpretations (Mickey with his white gloves, Pooh Bear with his red shirt, Cinderella and her dress, etc.). That is what all this hinges on.

                Agree.

                This is goign to be looked back at as a very dark time for creativity in the disney timeline.

                  They don't just make bank at the box office. Disney makes more off the merchandise than movie tickets. And unlike the movie, the merchandise will continue to make money for decades. It can also be incorporated into the theme parks (the real money maker) and grow the brand even more.

                    Yeah I know. I have enough friends who are parents to not know the score. I also know a lot of adults who go to Di$ney Parks a lot...

                    I spent 2 weeks in South Africa for less than those trips cost!

                      Daddy/daughter day today so we went to see The Boogeyman. She likes horror movies and it was my kind of movie(hour and a half long)and I gave it a B.

                        Just noticed the 2010 "live action" remake of Alice in Wonderland on Disney+ has a line in the description warning "contains tobacco depictions."

                        That ain't tobacco.

                            One of the trailers we saw yesterday was The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Intrigued, I did a little nosing around to find some info and found it's based on The Captain's Log, a chapter in Bram Stoker's Dracula novel. It opens in Aug.

                              Alien Code.

                              I recommend this movie if you like wordy, philosophical, slow, hard science fiction and speculative fiction. There are things about it that are irritating, but for a shoe string budget film it is far better than anybody has a right to expect. Closest comparison is to Pi, but stylistically it owes a lot to every successful thoughtful SF movie or TV show of the last 25 years. It cuts away all the excess and stupidity and triteness of bigger budget movies, but it also loses something in acting (which is college level), directing (of which there is none), and soundtrack (which is better than anything bigger budget but honestly could have just been stripped entirely -- as is the case of almost every bigger budget movie or TV sow not named Succession).

                              A very good effort and worth seeing what the writer (Michael G. Cooney) does in future. After all, Pi gave us Aronofsky, and though he has never done anything better, he has managed to make mass entertainment that isn't awful.

                              A minus.
