They are going to keep doing it until it stops being profitable. Since that is easier than making new great movies.

And OOC, apparently they have a convenient modern neutral gender pronoun for he/she [(s)he], but whoever made that up couldn’t give a modern neutral gender pronoun for him/her, his/her... etc. On the forums, whenever I’m lazy, I resort to archaic 2nd-person pronouns that don’t even fit what I’m trying to say. It’s really annoying to have to spend a few more characters. :evil:

Just use ‘they.’
It’s by far the most convenient and it doesn’t sound weird when spoken.

I will never use ‘they’ for a singular term. That makes me cringe.

Disney's truly evil. It's one thing for them to exploit people for money- all corporations do that. But Disney doesn't even care for its own employees. They also have an appalling record concerning their theme parks.

Disney has been doing this for decades. Why isn’t there anyone taking action, I wonder?

At least there’s movies made from everywhere else. Asia is starting to trend.

With just a little of thinking, they could make something that is comparable to a suspenseful action-film, only animated. It’s more sensible to make more movies to make more sequels anyway. At some point they’re going to have to stop making sequels for a same movie.

That’s the sad part. I also thought that was fake, but I then saw the wide possibilities it could’ve happened (Not saying Jaws 19 happened, except in Russia). Not to mention some movie series have over 10 sequels, which is horrifying to begin with.

Eh, not really. If a film is good and they can keep making more films that are good fine by me. I've seen all the Carry On films including the crap one from 1992 and there are like 30 of those.

I don’t know about you, but I find that sequels to films are quite lengthy, and stretchy. Also quite unnecessary, like when there’s no cliffhanger or hint of the end of the movie before that it’s going to be continued. And I still plan to watch Jumanji 3 by next year.

Perhaps you’re right when a film is good. I’ve never watched any movie series in full, and probably never will for a at least a few more years. Thus I can’t judge.

They’re probably just used to a white-skin character playing Ariel, especially the fact it’s the original version. It’s like the black woman who played a princess in a UK film, which got everyone in the YouTube comments section quite upset.

Because they’re too tired and lazy to come up with something new. Also will need a lot of time to keep checking the script for errors or to omit some areas. Whereas copying and adapting from a former script would require less effort, because the errors have already been checked out.

A lot of people don't like it because they've noticed a certain trend where remakes are replacing famously red-headed characters with black people in order to score diversity points, while edging out one of the smallest minorities in the US (And the US has the largest number of red heads in the world).

All of them except for one or 2 at a time.

The newest releases were Cinderella and Little Mermaid, but they don't look that good on BD because Disney's using computers to help up the video quality... While also having the unintended side effect of destroy the picture quality.

Good.

Maybe then he'll take a second and stop trying to monopolize the entire entertainment industry while also buying out the government.

Now that I think about it red heads are rare to see as main characters in live action movies anyway.
