[QUOTE=Midvillian1322;4393520]People get mad when they do shot for shot remakes but I feel like Aladdin which only added a few things was far superior to Dumbo.
Maybe? The original movie was so episodic (and I don't mean that as a criticism; I like it an awful lot) that a lot of the stuff in the remake was in the movie, just in a different order.
Never saw it myself, although I have gathered that it got plenty of criticism of being too slavish to the original and adding nothing new, and, unlike Aladdin, didn't seem to overcome that in any fashion.
Yeah, I'd agree that Aladdin and Jungle Book are the better ones. Personally, I think Christopher Robin is the best live action remake they've done yet, but I seem to be in the minority; I've seen several rankings of these movies, and it inevitably ends up at the bottom, while Cinderella (the most creatively bankrupt of the ones I've seen, IMHO) somehow ends up at the top.

The series, Team Atlantis even had a few tie ins with another Disney series, Gargoyles during its scripting stage. One of which, The Last, had the group encountering Demona in 1920. I've heard that Jordan Peele had pitched a live-action adaptation of Gargoyles at one point, but the Mouse House shot him down. In a decision which I thought was so simple that even a head of cabbage could agree on, I was surprised after Marvel was bought by Disney that Marvel Comics didn't come out with a new Gargoyles comic. I always picture either Chris Hemsworth or Jason Momoa as Goliath via motion capture, or make-up. Roseamund Pike, or Gemma Atherton as Demona.

Can't say I really need a Gargoyles remake, but then again, that wasn't a part of my childhood.
I think that Cinderella was a noble effort (good production values), but, aside from borrowing a few names, it felt like a generic retelling of the original fairy tale and very little to do with the movie it was a ostensibly remaking. Granted, the original Cinderella isn't my most favorite Disney movie in the first place, so I'm not exactly a huge fan of the story in the first place.
Can't say I found Christopher Robin boring in places, but I was much more invested in the story and was honestly wanting something that recaptured the tone of the original movies while viewing them from the adult Christopher's perspective.

I think the new Aladdin was a great remake because it was a well made movie that also did some necessary updates to the story. Plus the 3 lead actors were perfectly cast and their chemistry is fantastic. I've seen it 4 times... I'm a bit addicted lol.
I didn't see Beauty and the Beast remake because it looked exactly like the animated movie and I didn't like that one; there was way too much singing and the story and plot were too light for me. Even my son found it boring years ago when he watched it with me.
Haven't seen The Jungle Book remake. Dumbo was good but it was missing something.
Further ....:
The bloated Leonardo DiCaprio as the showman Mangiafuoco/Stromboli ...
And Liam Neeson
...The Coachman
Who can genuinely at first conveys a sense of warmth and safety, someone the kids will totally want to trust and believe he's taking them to a wonderful place, then terrifyingly turns on them.
Both these guys (probably love going against type) and make great Disney villains!

A Gargoyles remake? Er, I'd be fine with a continuation. Before going back to Young Justice, Greg Weismann posted about a lot of their plans for the series going forward. Most notable; Goliath and Eliza adopting a child.
In animation yes do a continuation just act like the Goliath chronicles never happened. But I'd love a big budget live action remake.
Aladdin 2 is gonna be an original story with inspiration taken from the source material. Same with Lion King 2 being an oringal story and Barry Jenkins helming it. I'm excited for both those. I thought Aladdin was really good and the main cast was amazing together. Lion king hopefully eases up on the photo realism just a tad bit to let them make some kind of expressions. But honestly I like Timoe and Pumba. So they have ways around it. With them they used physical movement by the characters to make up for the lack of facial expressions. Also Billy and Seth Rogan have very animated voices. Same with Zazzu and John Oliver. Make Donald Glover put some more energy into it. But honestly the biggest issue was it was a shot for shot remake except it didn't do anything better the original or make any improvements. Scar was more intimidating but honestly he didn't need to be. He was suppose to be weasely and feminine. Chewy did a good job with the voice but they didn't really do anything different with him though. Unlike Idris Elba as Share Kahn who they made down right terrifying. Anyway I'm excited to see the sequels since they will be original stories.
Off topic, since I'd want to see that^ animated (not necessarily live action)
The Ulysses Crew encountering and tracking 1920's era Gargoyles across the globe, pursuing evidence of the different clans, (the London Clan, Ishimura Clan, The Mayan Clan, then ending in a gothic, 1920's gaslight NY City, where they realize they are all around us, would have been fantastic!
In the end, letting them shadow away in peace, keeping their secret.
Is there somewhere you can read the script of their encounter?
If nothing else, it should at least be adapted into a stand alone comic.

Atlantis for sure.
Although I'd want to see continuing Live Action Adventures (not another remake).
Just follow the continuing adventures of the Ulysses Crew (and Kida) . onto their next mission.

Auli'i Cravalho as Kidda
Idris Elba as Dr. Sweet
Jenna Ortega as Audrey
