Most of the Disney live action stuff, I think, has been better than the original. Except maybe Jungle Book, though those are both not great for different reasons. But are they really taking Mushu away? That guy was fire.
I really haven't been interested in any of the recent live action films. I'm speaking merely from an outisder POV since I haven't seen any, but most of them look just like cheap cash-grabs instead of a genuine attempt to do something new/different with the same story. My outsider appreciation is that it seems they're not really offering anything new beyond the curiosity and technical aspect of doing something that was animated in "live action". That's what I got from the
Beauty and the Beast and
Jungle Book trailers. My wife did see the latter and thought it was decent, but well.
Aladdin's teaser, on the other hand, looked just like crap; and not just because of the Genie.
The Lion King looks simply unnecessary (traditional "hand-drawn" animation substituted by CGI animation? okay, so?).
On the other hand, I will say that
Dumbo looks somewhat intriguing, in a weird way.
Mulan looks like something ripe for a live-action adaptation. I think the story is very "mature", for lack of a better word and could work well. Still,
Snow White and the Huntsman looked different, but in a bad way (overblown battles trying to mimic LOTR and similar stuff), so what the hell do I know, right?
That's just my rambling from outside the box
