What went wrong?
We made another lazy live action remake of a beloved cartoon that no one asked for. On top of that we changed the source material so, even though it’s beloved, it will be different, meaning the nostalgia factor won’t even be there to help the box office. We also put all of our movies on our streaming service within weeks of their theatrical release…..Why isn’t anyone going to see our lazy remake the new Snow White movie in theaters?
-Disney Execs probably
beloved
nostalgia factor
It originally came out in 1937. The people who might be nostalgic about it now never experienced it as a cultural phenomenon, only as one of many animated movies and, frankly, not a very fun one by the standard of modern kids.
But then again, they remade Dumbo of all things...
Do you think I lack nostalgia for my laser discs?
For the disks themselves, sure. But for Snow White?
