IT IS UP TO US TO STOP HIM

Fandoms are toxic and evil.

Modern Hollywood is innocent. The new generation of movies is better.

Pass it on!!!

I don't entirely disagree with you, but I think, you're overreacting too much. Also, live action remake movies can be good, I have 3 examples, to prove this, Popeye (1980),

Speed Racer (2008)

and Charlotte's Web (2006).

In my personal honest opinion, Disney is better at that sort of thing, than DreamWorks and Universal will be here. Just remember, the old versions are not getting replaced anytime soon, even if these new movie versions exist.

As a long time httyd fan who has been heavily involved in the fandom since the first movie and who has spent years working in the animation industry, I’d like to share my thoughts on the new httyd movie. Keep in mind, this is just my personal opinion and it's completely fine if you disagree with me. I just want to say a little something about all this that really bothers me.

The core reason that Dreamworks and Universal made this film is that it’s a quick and easy cash grab for them. Thats it. They don’t care about telling a good story or making a “better” version of the original movie for fans or even having an accurate portrayal of the characters/story. It’s purely about money. They know that fans of the original film will go see this movie, whether it’s good or bad. And those guaranteed ticket sales are all that matter to the studios. And with Universal, it has the added bonus of being a cheap promotional and merchandising opportunity for the new HTTYD land in Orlando that opens around the same time that the film is premiering in theaters.

And to help the studios make even more money out of this, they are using non-unionized VFX companies around the world to make this film, so that they can get cheaper labor and push the artists to do more that would be against American union standards. The same thing has probably happened with the costuming and fabrication for the filming, hence why the costumes look un-weathered and the sets look cheap. They don’t want to pay for the extra time and effort that it would take to make the practical bits of the production look good.

On top of all this, Dreamworks has already announced that they’re shutting down all their in-house animation projects in favor of using AI and outsourcing projects to cheaper international non-union studios.

With all this in mind, I just can’t support this film and I will not be seeing it in theaters. And I hope that others will do the same.

The only way to stop all these horrible “live action” remakes (which are actually just realistically animated remakes) is to not buy tickets to see them. Money is all that matters to these studios, and if they don’t make any money off of it, then they will stop and try something different. Maybe they'll even go back to focusing on original stories!

That’s the power that we hold as audiences. Our wallets help drive the decisions that the executives make. So support unique storytelling and gorgeous cinematography in movies. Support indie films. Support animators as they're fighting for fair pay and better contracts. But don't support a mediocre shot-for-shot remake riding on the coattails of an already successful film.

And I just want to wrap all this up by saying I have absolutely no hate towards anyone that has worked on the new film. Toothless looks incredible and I know the artists and creatives involved in this project did the best they could with what they were given.

But I also know that those same artists have so many more brilliant ideas that they would’ve loved to be given the creative freedom to do. I just wish hollywood would be willing to take a chance and let them do it.

We gotta win this!

i know you have all been waiting with bated breath for my opinion on this, by the way, and i can say decisively that the live-action snow white trailer looks fine.

Thank you @ilovemodernmovies and everyone who got me to 10 reblogs!

Proof that Live-Action Remake Movies can be good, that Disney should replicate, in the future.

Have you seen these movies.

A message in support of modern Hollywood.

Can't we just support Disney and Hollywood no matter what they give us?

All I am saying is movies were only original and no sequels, no remakes and no progressiveness, it would be boring!

Support all movies from all Hollywood studios, including Disney no matter what.

I love the Snow White live action Disney remake and and my message and I defend Rachel Zegler. The movie deserves more positive reviews and success. Anyone reports calling it bad and a failure are false. Here is my message to all of the haters

This movie ISN'T STUPID, YOU're stupid!
