@Ubiq said in Disney animation thread:
The Disney films that are alternate versions like Pete's Dragon or either version of The Jungle Book can be solid but the ones that are straight remakes have consistently been downgrades from the original. It doesn't help either that they've avoided remaking films with substantial problems that might be fixed but have been focusing on more well received films that still look great even today. For instance, why not do a complete overhaul of Home on the Range? Nobody will be angry if you do that and there's a decent chance you'd make more money than the original did.
Far as the trailer goes, the song sounds okay up until that "be"; as is, the delivery throws off the pace of the entire song by drawing out a word in the middle of the sentence and shifts the focus from the sad trailing "world" off at the end.
Made it sound like a pop song, which it is not. I don't care if there will be one for the soundtrack, for the song IN the movie it should not sound like a pop song. Howard Ashman would be appalled.
I don't know if Disney will dare touch Home on the Range again, but Treasure Planet is actually one I wouldn't mind seeing live action.
