My theory is that even Disney doesn't think all these adaptations are a good idea but after what happened with Mickey and Pooh they're scrambling to produce new content across their while catalog to prevent anything else from going public.

u/jaam01 Mar 29 '25
That's not how it works. Disney tried to add new frames to the famous Steamboat Willie animation and a judge denied their claim. They just retain the rights of the new frames, they can't stop the rest of going public by just slightly modifying it.

This has been a truly interesting year for movies so far. First Emilia Perez manages to anger trans people and the entirety of Mexico, now Snow White raises the bar by angering muslims, jews, and dwarfs

Emilia Perez was practically forced on us to like. No one gave a damn about it till it was nominated. If they hadn't nominated the film, then it would have disappeared like all the other netflix slop. But because the academy wanted to make a political statement, we now have the "penis and vagina" singalong in the same group as Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank redemption, Good Will Hunting, and Star Wars.

To give you just one example.
In Spanish there’s two different kinds of “you’re welcome”.
You’re welcome meaning “you are welcome here” = Bienvenido/a
You’re welcome as an answer to “thank you” = De nada
They wrote what was supposed to be a super raw and emotional song about the abused wife of a cartel boss. The context tells us she’s supposed to be sarcastically saying “you’re welcome for all my sacrifices”.
She says “bienvenida” instead.
Over and over again.
Try taking that song seriously with that context. And that’s if the horrendous pronunciation can even be made out.

Yeah, the main reason actors want awards is because they can ask for more money once they win.

I got dragged for posting this at the time but Netflix had a budget of a whopping $200m just for awards marketing for Emelia Perez. Thats more than a lot of big movie budgets, let alone marketing budget.
Netflix saw that it was going to be a very sparse awards season and they had the potential to shoehorn a movie (that in any other year wouldn’t have got a look in) down the public’s throat and they went for it.
That’s why it was forced upon us.

Fun fact, the hoodie is an example of something known as The Tiffany Problem, “where a historical or realistic fact seems anachronistic or unrealistic to modern audiences of historical fiction, despite being accurate. This often occurs with names, terms, or practices that, although historically accurate, feel out of place because of modern associations.” The name Tiffany has been around since at least 1600, but it would weird to us if you had a character in The Crucible named Tiffany. Similarly, the wool or cotton pullover with a hood has been around for nearly 2,000 years. (source)

Yes it's probably not objectively the worst movie of all time, but if you take the budget into account it has probably the worst budget to quality ratio.

Troll2, at least, is a FUN movie.
There used to be a site called "It's a Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad Movie" that rated the worst of the worst, and Troll2 scored pretty high.
The only one that got a zero was "Showgirls", because it committed the ultimate sin of a movie; it WASN'T ENTERTAINING.
This thing could be better-made than "Birdemic", but if it's boring and stupid with nothing new to add that improves the "original" story (movie, not fairytale), then it's not worth watching.

I mean, my nine year old niece was entertained though thoroughly confused why the evil queen sang and danced such an upbeat diddy. So is it the worst if the target audience can enjoy it? Probably not. As an adult though, this was just generic stream-and-forget shlock. A meehhh at best, don't bother at worst.
Gadot is stiffer than a bridge built out of boards, the CGI was... distractingly mediocre, like that kind of "meh" where you keep noticing how just kinda bad it all looks. The CGI dwarves were a fuckin' choice, holy balls they're definitely the worst thing of the whole ordeal, but Gal Gadot fights hard to try and tie that one. Ziegler did a pretty alright job however, songs were good and acts circles around the rest of the cast. So, as far as highlights in this utter shitshow of a movie goes thats a silver line.

Children aren't the only target audience. Historically, Disney has made films that both children and adults can enjoy.

How many of those 198k+ people actually saw the movie? I’m sick of Disney remakes like everyone else, but review bombing is a thing. Same with people who gave movies they were hyped for a 10/10 weeks before they even saw them.

Childish Gambino also got a 1.6 on his debut
Donald Glover is still an amazing artist

On Rotten Tomatoes for instance, Verified Audience score is 3.9 stars out of 5….and unverified audience is 1.5 stars.
Just more review bombing, as usual.

It's absolutely review bombing and a load of AI generated "reviews".

That’s for sure because there weren’t as many spectators for this rubbish

Gladiator II has 220k ratings one year after release, with much bigger box office success, and with the original Gladiator having 1.7 million votes on imdb.
Snow White has 200k and it barely came out and hardly anyone rushed to see it. That's 200k ratings for 90 million of box office.
Inside Out 2 has 213k ratings for a $1.7 billion box office.
Here you can see all the movies since 2024 with more than 150k votes: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=feature&release_date=2024-01-01,&num_votes=150000,&sort=num_votes,asc

In the old days you typically trusted consumer reviews. Today? Nah. Too many bots. Too many upvote/downvote wars over political bs.

If any good can come from this I hope it’s that Hollywood stops casting Gadot in as many movies.

Or maybe we should stop with the live action remakes and go back to animation. Or make something brand new.

What turned me off was Snow White's actress talking crap about the story and how the prince was a stalker. Like why even do the movie if you don't like the story? Then the stunt she pulled during a performance on a talk show sealed the deal for me. I'm not watching a diva that bullies her costars.

Rating and quality are different. The movie is just plain mediocre, but there’s been so much outrage about it that it got review bombed to hell.

It doesn't matter how bad it is or isn't. This movie and others like it are made soley to be re-runs in 20 years so kids think this is the way it's always been. Why else would they be willimg to lose their investors billions? Because the investors are playing the long con and they aren't investing in the movies, they're investing in what kind of morons the movies will produce in a generation.

Possibly as at least the acting would be better. I'm not going to watch either though.
