The Disney remake machine is an insatiable beast that will ultimately consume every one of the studio’s animated classics and regurgitate it as a live-action copy.
While such efforts have to date been uneven (to say the least), the fact remains that, in aiming for rigid fidelity over novel flights of fancy, they are doomed, by definition, to be no better than pale imitations of their superior forefathers.
Driven by a desire to duplicate rather than innovate, they’re projects whose motivation isn’t artistic but financial. Even in that regard, though, their shelf life is reasonably limited, since once their theatrical bows are finished, they’re fated to always be the second choice of moviegoers interested in revisiting their tales.
