Disney Duster wrote:Oh. But since that love triangle was half of the plot I think it was integral.

Ron Clements and John Musker were right when they said that they were always looking for ideas for movies that would take advantage of animation as a medium and that none of their films would work as live actions (unlike Pocahontas or Hunchback). It's evident in Aladdin where the Genie is toned down and looks awful in blue CGI.

I wouldn't mind a live action adaptation of Rapunzel, maybe they can incorporate more music and tone down the DreamWorks-ness of Flynn and his humor.

I'd really prefer if Disney made a proper adaptation of The Snow Queen rather than Frozen, even if it's live action, but I doubt that would ever happen. I lament that Walt never got to make his version of The Snow Queen, we could have gotten something more sophisticated and true to the original tale with a villain that is not unlike Maleficent:

Are you familiar with the Russian animated version from 1957 ? It's quite faithful to the text by Andersen. In my opinion, it's even better as it gets rid of the unnecessary subplots.

For the live-action version of The Little Mermaid, he texted Rob Marshall—“something that I’m shy to do”—to ask if the director would be willing to take on a King Triton with an accent. Marshall wrote back enthusiastically. Bardem was having breakfast with his family at the time. “I started like, ‘Wow, guys. I may do The Little Mermaid.’ And my daughter said, ‘But you can't play Ariel!’ I said, ‘No, no, no. I'm not playing Ariel. I'm playing King Triton.’ And they were so excited,” he shares gleefully.

Bardem swiftly turns serious, delving into a poetic close read of his role in a film that also features a flamboyant musical crab. “It's a father taken by the deep love and ownership of his younger daughter, and fighting with the fact that she's going to leave the nest, and being unable to cope with that as a man and as a protector, and not being able to give her the room that she deserves, the place that she holds as a woman, as a girl, as a grown-up. So,” he says, taking a breath, “it's very Shakespearean.”
