To be absolutely honest, the first couple live-action Disney remakes were really good -- Cinderella and Maleficent in particular, because they incorporated some unexpected deconstruction and offered a different look at their stories. The next couple weren't bad. But now it seems like Disney is just churning them out just because it's what they've been doing for a decade or more now, and what was originally an innovative way to put a new spin on some of their classic movies has turned into an endless stream of scene-for-scene remakes that succeed just as well as that Psycho remake a few years ago did -- which is to say not at all.
But still I hold out hope one of the newer films will remember what made the first few really stand out.
