Disney Remakes: Why the Hype?

At this point, we’ve all heard about the Disney remakes phenomenon. In fact, some of us may already have our calendars marked with all the remakes and sequels to come out. So, what live-action Disney remake is in the queue for 2019?

Already this year, Dumbo was released this past March. Riding on the coattails of this release. Disney fanatics are eagerly awaiting the live-action remake of Aladdin to be released on May 24th. With a seasoned TV cast, Will Smith as Genie, and new music in the works, the expectations for this Disney remake are high.

In July, the photorealistic Lion King will be hitting the theaters. A star-studded cast will be sounding off the voices of Disney’s lovable and not so lovable lions: Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino, Beyonce, James Earl Jones, just to name a few. Come November, the sequel for the 2014 hit Maleficent is also being released.

Why all of a sudden is Disney on a remake kick?

Well, the animated Disney movies are classics! These movies are already a brand we all recognize, the characters are relatable, they evoke feelings of nostalgia, and, let’s face it, the songs were catchy. Disney has put out newer movies over the years. Most recently were A Wrinkle in Time & Tomorrowland as well as The Nutcracker & the Four Realms. Apparently, these movies did not do so well at the Box Office.

As the old saying goes, if it’s not broken, don’t fix it. These Disney storylines have stood the test of time and with the most recent remakes are doing so well. Why not see what Disney has in store for the next few releases! Grab your popcorn and a buddy and enjoy!
