Will the live-action Snow White be a hit in your honest opinion?

[Dug720]

I will say that even if I don't always agree with it, at least for most of their live actions, Disney does make some tweaks or additions to the story.

The trailer for the "live action" How To Train Your Dragon looks to be pretty much exactly the animated version with no changes.

I still think SW will flop, but at least it's not identical just with people.

Honestly, the vast majority of the movie-going audience won't care about or even know about any of the statements made by actors, etc. The movie may fail, but that won't be why. I do feel like this one is a tough sell because there isn't so much nostalgic affinity for the original anymore, and it feels like the live-action remake trend may be on the decline. I honestly think it could do okay, but with a $300M+ budget, I see it's odds of financial success as pretty long. Maybe it if has a big-time hit song in it, it will grow some legs, but I feel like we might now that by now too.

I'm extremely convinced that movie is an advertisement for Epic Universe. It makes the most sense and it's releasing around the same time the park is opening.

I hope it’s great! But I don’t think it will be unfortunately.

I personally think Disney is obsessed with live-action versions of movies because in their eyes they think that live-action movies make more money than animated movies but they have done live-action remakes of animated movies before and it seemed to make Disney a ton of money. Look at the live-action 101 Dalmatians that debuted in 1996 and when that movie it did so well that Disney even created the sequel 102 Dalmatians and the reason why it did well was because of Glenn Close as Cruella. But I think with Snow White if it gets a good reaction Disney probably will make a Snow White II in the future. I mean Disney is doing the same thing with the live-action The Little Mermaid by developing a live-action version of The Little Mermaid II. Disney should focus on creating more animated movies that are original and have good storylines. But I think if Snow White makes money Disney will begin it's miracle year because it's about time that Disney began it's miracle year in movies
Do you agree?

This is a good site for reference. As far.as live action vs animated ... In general, animation does much better. As far as the cruella movies ... Look where they rank...https://movieweb.com/disney-live-action-remakes-box-office-results/

What new songs are gonna be featured in Snow White? And who's gonna be the songwriter/composer for the new songs in Snow White? Hopefully not Lin-Manuel Miranda again. Because it seems that every single live-action Disney movie seems to use him as a songwriter/composer and the films get disliked because of Lin-Manuel Miranda. They're probably gonna use the same songwriter that wrote the songs of Disney's Wish. And I think Disney also dreads that Snow White will be another failure like Lightyear Strange World and Atlantis The Last Empire and the stellar Wish. Because when you get the general picture I think people like live-action movies because they're easy to make rather than animated movies and as I mentioned Rachel Zegler will become an even bigger household name due to Snow White just like Ariana DeBose did thanks to Wish and due to The Princess And The Frog Anika Noni Rose has made an even bigger name for herself and with Rachel Zegler people hope the exact same thing due to Snow White

I don't know which songs, but they will use some of the originals and new songs by they guys who did Dear Evan Hanesn, Pasek and Paul. They also worked on the additional songs for the live-action Aladdin.

January 2025, it was revealed that Jeff Morrow had composed the score for the film.

Which live action films are disliked because of the music of LMM? He only did the music for two of them, and they are both very successful … The 2021 Little Mermaid, where has teamed with Alan Menken for three songs, and Mufasa.

Again, as much as people say this, moviegoers have shown a very clear preference for sequels and remakes. The remake fever may be dying down a little, but sequels are still hot. Disney has learned that original fare will not do well at the box-office, but sequels will (see Inside Out 2, Moana 2). I woudl prefer more originals too, but we get the movies that we deserve.

Well, to be fair, both of those movies were original within the last decade.
