What These Disney Live-Action Remakes Looked Like Before CGI

Love them or hate them, it looks like Disney’s live-action remakes are here to stay. The House of Mouse has learned that it is able to make money on some of its most famous animated titles by making new versions, and even though they aren’t animated, they still require a lot of work. Some feature photorealistic CGI backgrounds, while others see famous actors getting turned into fantasy creatures, but they all involve a lot of effects work. If you want to see what’s behind the curtain, take a look at what some Disney live-action remakes looked like before CGI was added.

What do you think about the live action Disney remakes?

So the behind the scenes of those movies were more fun than the actual films

I think the Cinderella remake is one if not the best of them, the costume design is to die for and the CGI doesn't feel overpowering, the best of all is the actresses performance for Cinderella and her evil step mother. Watching this movie takes me back to the original and makes me love the story once again.

I definitely know the stresses being a animation artist myself. I was a intern to help with Monsters inc. with Pixar. That’s why most of the young artist are bald so fast. It’s work! Full of introverts too because they’re so dedicated to working. They kind of forget about normal life outside though. A lot were sleeping at work during the week and go home on weekends. It was sad

What is that music you used during the dumbo part, for example?

Good news that Aladdin will be a sequel basically means Disney have reported that they are planning Aladdin 2

[darthstarkiller]

You gotta give the kid who played Mowgli major credit. He had to use all his imagination to make you believe he was talking to animals instead of thin air and he did an amazing job.

Aladdin (2019) visual effects have advanced enough that audiences can see a gigantic blue version of Will Smith try to give the same performance. Technological progress has clearly gone too far.

I didn't even know about whinny the Pooh

Uh can someone tell me what the song at 3:23 is

CGI and VFX is a Serious Tedious Work. CGI and VFX Teams should be Celebrated More.

Jon favreu is I think the closest to a gem that Hollywood has produced since James Cameron with regards to really evolving cinema at its best giving the best 3D experience to the audience

[honeybadgerjay]

The live remakes are not only horrific looking but its also gross how it takes fans of the originals for suckers, lowering their iq's and eagerness to find truly exceptional films created by true auteurs who care more about making art than bleeding ignorant people dry

[ziaurehman]

I never liked these remakes, they mostly ruin the charm of the orignal classics

[TheCrusader]

i don't know.... here i am on Christopher nolans site. cgi yes, but only subtle. my personal opinion too much cgi can ruin a movie....example: i love the lord of the rings movies, but the cgi in the hobbit movies was overkill to me...

[delvis]

You guys aren't showing anything behind the scenes

[stevesalazar]

Omg, The ads are relentless on this one! Not to mention the screen popups as well. Never coming back to this channel again.

[netdevnick]

is this the same guy from ADoseofBuckley?

Out of the 13 or so live action remakes Disney has pumped out, they have only managed to make 2 good ones (Cinderella and The Jungle Book). The biggest problems have been the terrible CGI, the lack of understanding of what made the originals work, the fact that they were unnecessary lazy cashgrabs, and the actors (Except Will Smith, Glenn Close, Seth Rogen, Angelina Jolie, & Kevin Kline, ) giving horrid performances.
