Disney has recently been very focused on making live-action adaptations of some of the classics. While some of these films have become adored by fans, meeting their expectations and almost matching the essence of the original, many have fallen short, leaving the fans devastated by the memories that were ruined.
While movies like Cinderella, Maleficent, and Beauty and the Beast became fan favorites, more recent movies like Little Mermaid, Mulan, and Aladdin have caused fans to lose their faith in Disney’s capabilities of making good live-action movies. It is because of this fact that many are deeply upset with recent news about another Disney classic that is being adapted.
