now they're making a live action moana in 2025. it hasn't even been 10 years, disney is lowballing so hard with these lifeless remakes. hopefully ariel flops bad enough that they change their minds.

The Little Mermaid was a huge hit. So huge in fact, that they greenlit Moana as a result so I don’t see them changing their minds. I liked Moana, but to be honest I think it probably works best as an animation. What’s exciting about it though, is that there hasn’t been a huge CGI-fest movie about Polynesian myth that takes place in a time without any colonization. It’s exciting.

There has been talks of a Moana remake before the little mermaid cast choices were released. As far as I can tell, support was there if auli'i cravalho maintained her role but that is not the case. And a "CGI-fest" about Polynesian myth is a bit insulting if the cast, writers, and directors are not Polynesian. Or don't respect Polynesian culture like the original Moana production team did. I am not looking forward to this film.
