"______________" gets remade as a live action/photorealistic flick, and you're pissed. What movie is it?

[HStallion]

"Bebe's Kids" with Kevin Hart in Robin Harris' role would probably make me mad

You know... I had vague memories of seeing pictures of this.
But I think I wrote them off as some kind of dark childhood nightmare that couldn't possibly be real.

 

[ByteCulture]

Iam still waiting for "AristcoCats". Dont know if iam pissed or it will be the greatest live action remake ever

 

[ByteCulture]

oops double post

 

[Deleted member 2809]

None cause I'm not fragile like that

 

[eXistor]

I dunno, Toy Story or something? I wouldn't get pissed though, usually my reaction is "why on earth would they do that?" and then realize the answer is always "money".

 

[Hektor]

"Get in the robot Shinji"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP DAD"

 

[Harry Potter Obama]

The year is 2023. Legend of the Overfiend is being remade as a live action PG13 movie and I am having none of it

 

[DMVfan123]

None

 

[egg]

The Road to El Dorado.
Wouldn't be mad but like, could never compare.

 

[thesoapster]

Not sure I care enough to be pissed, but I swear if they made a live action remake of The Sword in the Stone, it would almost certifiably suck.

 

[Deleted member 9932]

I don't get pissed but they are all pointless.

That's what I wish it had been all along, lol.
Would have saved me from renting it from the kids' section in the local supermarket back in the mid 90s.
Those mental scars will never heal.

 

[Creation_Scapes]

Nothing. The old movie is not going anywhere. I just won't watch the new one.

Click to shrink...

This is how I feel also. There's always the chance it could turn out good also.

 

[Deleted member 8861]

Was gonna say spirited away lol

 

[Mathieran]

It already happened.

It's called The Last Airbender.

And I didn't get pissed even when I saw the reviews. I just had a wrinkle of hope that there could be some form of entertainment out of it.

I was wrong.

Click to shrink...

This was my answer. I've never seen anything miss the mark so badly as this movie. They didn't get a single thing right.

Have you seen this?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_in_the_Stone_(upcoming_film)

I don't see a problem, really. The 1963 animation is based on a TH White novel. After writing the novel in 1938, White later expanded it to a four volume work for adults on the topic of King Arthur, The Once and Future King. Parts of that work were dramatised as the musical Camelot, which was filmed with an all-star cast in 1967.

 

[Uncle Squingis]

James and the Giant Peach with uber-realistic people-sized insects.

 

[Adam_Roman]

Cats

 

[StallionDan]

Corpse Bride
Nightmare Before Christmas

 

[RadicalR]

Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland. This here is a good part of my childhood.

Live Action Lupin has been done and it's just as goofy as the animated films at times. Partly because it's pure 70s cheese.

 

[Fiction]

The secret of nhim

 

[Kitsunebaby]

The Nightmare Before Christmas. It's a cute story, but the charm of the film relies mostly on the stop motion animation and unique character designs.

I'll admit the film holds more sentimental value for me than most things in my life have.

 

[Plywood]

I'm going against the vein of the thread cause I can't think of any atm, but I totally wonder what a live action

by David Fincher would be like.

or

by Christopher Nolan.

 

[Deleted member 28564]

Something like Tom and Jerry, because I don't want to have to feel bad for a cute mouse and cat as they are being (realistically) mauled. It would upset the children, too.

 

[Darkspellmaster]

Tokyo Godfathers by the guy that did Black Swan, I would be livid for that one.

Oliver and company or the Great Mouse Detective would really stick in my craw.

 

[Adventureracing]

None. Have no reason to be upset.

 

[Mona]

i would be mad if Junji Ito's Glyceride was adapted into live action, there are certain things god did not intend to be seen in photorealism

 

[Zan]

Are all ghibli movies considered off limits in your example, OP? Because there's some stuff like My Neighbors the Yamadas that could work well in live action.

 

[Heshinsi]

Into the Spiderverse getting turned into a live action film would really piss me off lol. I know you will strip away and fail to replicate the unique look and all the magic so don't you even think of it Sony.

 

[Kaede]

Akira. No amount of money is going to do the original justice and it simply doesn't need to be remade.

Also it's fine to be 'mad' about your favourite films being remade as bland cash cows on an internet message board for 2 mins.

 

[davepoobond]

Reboot

 

[TheYanger]

None, cause why would I care? Unless they come rip my memories and my old copies away, why would it bother me.

 

[fontguy]

I don't think I've ever seen an animated film where I thought "this would be improved by making it live action."

 

[Soj]

A Goofy Movie

 

[Fleck0]

I immediately though Nightmare Before Christmas when I saw the title. I also say Ducktales.

I would confidently bet that I will see both of those in my lifetime.

 

[BarrBarr]

I am gonna go the opposite of what the OP is asking and say that Titan A.E. would be cool as a live action remake.

 

[TheKeipatzy]

Song of the South... For very the obvious and the sheer wtf???



... Serious answer: Land Before Time. The squirrels I can and have ignored, the second being an exception due to cousins. But... I just don't see it working. Unless they go like crazy.

No no. Let's not. Please. Lion King already broke me tonight.

Bonus: Peter Pan, if we assume they kept in "What makes the Red man, red?" Holy goodness...
(I am aware of the other live-action tellings. But I mean a shot for shot that somehow, includes that)

 

[Coleslaw]

This just made me realize how much I want a live action Team America.

Perfect Blue by Fincher would be great.

There was a Girl Who Leapt Through Time live-action film. Maybe even more than just one.
I imported a dvd of it but never watched it. Now I don't even know where it is, lol.

That's just bad CG though - at no point does it resemble live action, it's like they tried recreating original animated designs but never quite got it right.

i would be mad if Junji Ito's Glyceride was adapted into live action, there are certain things god did not intend to be seen in photorealism

Click to shrink...

I'm not sure 'mad' would be the thing we'd all be feeling seeing that in live-action.
Also given that Uzumaki went all the way with visuals and Tomie got like 5 movies it's not impossible it could happen...

Every movie ever made. I'm sick of these remakes on all levels.

ewww why get pissed, it's just a movie.
