    They also changed David from a cool surfer dude, to a nervous wreck, and Cobra Bubbles from an imposing and intimidating MIB with a history with the galactic president, to just some random MIB that doesn’t seem to understand anything that’s happening.

      At least Bronze Age Disney (The Black Cauldron, Pete’s Dragon, and The Rescuers era) were original. People can hate on Black Cauldron all they want, but it had a style.

      These remakes are colorless and lifeless, and excise the original themes and messages of the originals.

      Just the backgrounds alone on the animated Lilo and Stitch are art - they mixed salt in their watercolor to create beautiful effects.

      I’m also so done with the 3D “everyone has the same face” syndrome and lack of aesthetic creativity. IMHO, that sequence with Maui’s tattoos in Moana is the most spirit they’ve shown in a decade.

        The part that really pisses me off is that I have heard people say that L&S is the “best of the live action remakes,” and having seen Lion King and Aladdin, I can’t actually say they’re wrong!"
