Not much this round, but a few interesting remakes from Disney.
WTF did they do to Pete’s Dragon? The original is a classic!
Eh..
The cast in the original was wonderful. Jim Dale was a magnificent Disney villain and it was a treat to see Red Buttons together with Mickey Rooney. But it’s a film that could improve with modern effects. Looks like they’re losing the Gogins and Dr. Terminus and modernizing it, so a lot of the original film’s plot could be radically changed.
It’s a little funny that Pixar and Disney live-action are in remake/sequel spirals whereas Disney Animation is churning out some truly entertaining (and novel) stuff. Early buzz for Zootopia is promising.
