IIRC lion king was a huge success, other releases like little mermaid still generated more revenue than their budget by factors of 1.5-2x, but that isn't considered a success for a movie this big

something low on disney's priority list but surely on there is that kids do generally like these movies. at least, I can see the justification for putting them into 3D CGI because I've seen my own daughter glaze her eyes over the original releases, but stay completely engaged with the 3D CGI versions.

Stop the slop in her formative years, don't let your daughter fall to that trash

IIRC the old rule of thumb for hollywood accounting is that marketing costs roughly the same as the movie's budget. That'd make anything under 2x a loss.

isn't the other rule of hollywood accounting that most of these numbers are manipulated from the get go?

which 3d cg remakes have they made besides Lion King, Lady and the Tramp, and Pinocchio?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In addition to those ones, Snow White, Mulan, Aladdin and the new Lilo & Stitch come to mind. There's also the spin-offs like Cruella and Peter Pan, and now spin-off sequels like Mufusa.

Oh we’re including the live action remakes as 3D cg? I get that they also use a lot of it but some like Snow White or Mulan don’t really use enough for me to even consider them hybrids.

Beauty and the Beast may as well get thrown in there along with Cinderella
