I'm not saying there has to be heavy sacrifices

Well sorry to tell you this, but.. they already did that with the originals too

I'm just saying theres no point if people already know how it will end

The originals are all based off of stories from around the world

Extended story, if you will

So they’re already throwing the source out to begin with

Infact, iirc, Walt’s philosophy was to use a story and then just to get creative and throw it all out

That’s all Disney movies tend to be.. they take the basis of an idea

But then change it entirely from there

its like people making movie adaption versions of the book

No, not quite.

The stories tend to be incredibly short.

Not full modern books

So honestly, if the live actions change things around.. I say go for it. But please, do more than just the odd thing or two, here or there

Exactly.

I'm okay with deviations from the norm, but i dont want a remake thats gonna be word for word, event for event

Cinderella and BatB were meh, imo, due to just being carbon copies of the same story.. there were no changes whatsoever

It doesnt become a remake, it becomes a copy.

Yeah they dont really throw away things, the originals are like short stories to scare children

So they cut the weird stuff

No they did tho.. that was a quote, but I think I’m paraphrasing

The alice in wonderland remake for example

I mean

except there was a few that are based on novels

I never said they’re full books, but that was their whole point/idea for it

That was less like one change and more like a total overhaul

disney just has a very specific writing formula

they developed

I'm just saying I believe some deviations from the norm in terms of remakes are okay

I got to be a cashier today

Oh rly? How’s that go?

I wanna throw myself and humanity off a bridge

Ah, retail

The ultimate test of will.
