Can we as a society stop doing this?
indigocherry@reddit
Nobody asked for this.
Just remaster the original and re-release it.
cutshop@reddit
Do the Brave Little Toaster instead

Knowing Bezos, the new movie will remind kids of the economic benefits of deforestation.

Bout time for Captain Planet to smack him upside the head

As if James Cameron hasn’t been doing remakes the last 15 years
I saw Avatar in the theater and was just like “uhhh it’s just Ferngully 3D”

Hollywood is creatively brankrupt and too greedy to risk making something new. So they keep cashing out on nostalgia. That’s all they do. Look at all the movies and remakes and crap. Take Disney for example. Corporate cash out nostalgia milkers.
Stop watching their crappy remakes and leave old great stuff pure. It doesn’t need to be remade for the third or fifth time. Make something new. Make new stories. Make new characters. Make new scenarios. Blow our minds. Stop coddling us.

They should have been court ordered to never redo another movie after Mulan. They murdered the whole plot of the movie. It was the only princess movie with a real hero's journey. For god's sakes, she struggles and then accomplishes herself in a male world and then solves problems with her bravery and intellect instead of muscles. How could you turn that into a girl boss movie???
What's next? Treasure planet? Titan AE? Atlantis?

Do we really need this when we've got three Avatar movies?
Mekroval@reddit
Three, so far!
AshDogBucket@reddit
Avatar was so bad though
donolga@reddit
No no. The blue avatar. Not the cool unique story that was a cartoon.
AshDogBucket@reddit
Yeah avatar the blue people was so bad
donolga@reddit
Shew. I thought you were saying the Avatar movie ( The Last Air Bender) which is an abomination. Calling that pile of garbage bad would give it a better rating than it deserves.
ki11a11hippies@reddit
Only 10% live action though
Healthy-Speech-7728@reddit
My first thought as well
RavenRegime@reddit
How are they even gonna make this work like the original Ferngully had to deal with budget issues already yet still made a beautiful movie despite you seeing clear budget constraints.
There's also the fact Hexus straight up probably consumed the souls of a big part of the budget and animators. Hexus is a villain running off vibes and charisma which means you can't fucking half ass his animation AT ALL and you need someone who has Tim Curry energy unless you can somehow get him back for this which is unlikely considering his health issues post stroke. And there's only one Tim Curry. Like we straight up had limited screentime of Hexus because of how much he ate the budget but he's not a character you can cheap out.
So like is Hexus even gonna be in the movie or is he gonna be half assed.
And how are they gonna do even the backgrounds and shit? Like the amount of effort would be more expensive than just animating it again because there's gonna be a fuck ton CGI anyway unless they completely rework fairies as being human sized?

Is this the Avatar reboot?
Open-Cryptographer83@reddit
No. Honestly, just, no. Stop it!
IpeeInclosets@reddit
This is totally a good idea
PerfSynthetic@reddit
Can we create something new that is just as amazing as all of these 90s movies you copy over and over...?
Amazon over here spending millions to copy instead of inventing something new... They have billions of dollars of AI hardware and it produces nothing new...
Listening_Stranger82@reddit
We already have enough blue Avatars
BaWeepGranaWeep@reddit
Without Robin Williams and Tim Curry there is no Fern Gully.
Wingkongexpress@reddit
Ahhh dude. I got real happy and then you smacked the shit outta me with reality, and ya you’re right.
It’s my weekend off and it got crapped on already. Now I have to pour a whiskey and roll one up to make me feel better.
YcemeteryTreeY@reddit
NOOOOO LEAVE THE CLASSICS ALONE
MulberryEastern5010@reddit
And we need this now because…? 🤔
gilgamesh2323@reddit
Why are they already remaking avatar?
RanklesTheOtter@reddit
Way to be creatively bankrupt Hollywood.
Dizzy-Ad1673@reddit
At least I learned from this that Tim Curry was the voice of Hexxus! How could it have ever been otherwise?
Disastrous-Bee-1557@reddit
Appropriate_Berry_44@reddit
Why is this necessary???
htownAstrofan@reddit
Why? It will never be better than the original
yourlittlebirdie@reddit
They truly have no more original ideas, huh?
_Zeruiah_@reddit
The time to have done this was 5-6 years ago. Then maybe it would make money and not be panned horrifically
FlurpBlurp@reddit
Idk can you make toxic slime sexy if it’s not hand animated and voiced by Tim Curry? Probably not.
