 The hierarchy of power in the DC universe is about to change. And by DC universe, I mean Disney cinematic universe, because a live action Moana is on the way. Dwayne Johnson is reprising that role. Of course he is. Let's talk about it. The solace, empty, money grubbing corporation known as Disney is at it again. They have another live action movie coming our way. Moana, based on the hit film All the Way Back in 2016. It's been seven years, seven. Tom, from the house of mouse. The people that brought us the live action Pinocchio. The people that brought us the live action Dumbo. The people that brought us the live action Lady and the Tramp. That seriously exists, that there was a movie on Disney Plus, Lady and the Tramp remake. Nobody saw it, zero people. Comment if you actually watched that movie because I'm convinced no one did. Oh, they're also doing a live action Aristocats. We're all craving it. We're all craving that catnip. Anyway, let's talk Moana. What do we have to expect? Well, Maui's back baby. And he's played by Dwayne Johnson again, but this time in live action form. Johnson's also producing this. He announced it live from Hawaii during a shareholders meeting. I couldn't be less excited if I tried. I've talked about this several times in the past. There is zero live action version that surpasses the original in any way, shape or form. The animated classics are beloved because they did it right the first time around. So if it ain't broke, just build the same exact thing again is what Disney's thinking. And that's often the case, like the Lion King, Aladdin. Sure, they add maybe one more song here or there, but oftentimes they're ripping off their own shit. Right down to the shot for shot storyboards. The little mermaids coming out soon. That looks to be the same thing. Dull, lifeless animation. CG is very realistic, but why do we want that? I like animals with personality. I don't wanna see a crab be a crab. That's boring. Why not just make a Moana too? Why go with the live action route? You know, Frozen's next. You know, they're gonna do a Frozen 3 and then they're gonna go live action with it. Get that Disney cinematic princess universe thing. And I can tell you with 100% confidence that Disney doesn't give a crap about these films from a cinematic story driven standpoint. These aren't things they're gonna put feathers in. This isn't a cap for them to wear, Peter Pan style. No, these are nothing more than money generators. You can go to their theme park and you will not see live action anything. It's all still the animated originals. The rides are themed that way. The merch is sold that way. The characters are dressed that way. You don't see live action Mufasa walking around. You'd frighten the kids. Wayne Johnson as Maui is probably his best character because he actually feels like a living, breathing character that's not the rock. But now that the rock is actually going to physically be him, I just don't see it. I really don't and I don't wanna see it. But now I wanna hear your thoughts. Are you sick of this yet? Do you remember when Disney would randomly make a live action film, like 101 Dalmatians and then just give it a rest for like a decade? Those were good times. They would make original things. Creative, beautifully animated, wonderfully entertaining and not just the same crap over and over again. When are we gonna go live action toy story? That'll be frightening beyond all compare. It'll happen. It'll happen. Let me know in the comments. Like this video if you had a good time.
