I love all the remakes and adaptations and sequels that Disney has been putting out over the past few years. Every time I look online at a new announcement from Disney, I get to relive a moment of my childhood.
The new retellings of all the classic Disney tales are amazing, and some of them, like the “Jungle Book,” are even better than the original. Disney knows what they are doing, and I can’t wait for the new “Lion King” movie to come out.
Some might say that Disney is relying too much on nostalgia, but our age group is now becoming parents, and we grew up with all those movies. Disney is making smart business decisions by targeting the adults with the nostalgia of their childhood to get more families into the box office.
Now, not all of them followed after the originals in being musicals, but they told the story in a different and surprising way that made it so that I didn’t even miss the music where they didn’t include it.
Though, to be honest, I think that the “Lion King” would be nothing without the Circle of Life and Hakuna Matata.
I recently saw a teaser trailer for the new “Mulan” movie, and I’m really excited for that one too. I guess my whole point is that if people are getting excited for these movies, there isn’t any reason for Disney to stop making them. They are pretty good, and I will gladly keep buying tickets whenever the newest remake or adaptation is released.
I know you’d love to hear more about my love for Disney movies, but I have to go wait patiently for the announcement of a live-action “Lilo and Stitch” remake. I’m so ready for that.
