Seven years since David Lowery’s take on Pete's Dragon surprised us with its warmth, Peter Pan & Wendy reminds us how far Disney's remake machine has fallen. roryhasopinions writes:
, a 1977 hybrid live-action/animation from Disney’s Dark Age, is a near-total dud. The characters are grating, the sentimentality forced and phony, and—clocking in an egregious 128 minutes—it’s a bonafide slog. Any fond memories of runaway wildling Pete and his oversized animated dragon Elliot are by and large conditioned by nostalgia; when you think of, you’ll more likely reminisce about the clamshell VHS case it came in than the actual film.
So when Disney started picking up steam on live-action reimaginings of their classics, the choice to spend $65 million on a curio from Disney’s least exciting era was a bit baffling–but by then we were barely familiar with the director behind the remake, David Lowery. Before 2016, Lowery had delved into folksy Americana withinitially only as screenwriter. But his passion for the project grew into a directing gig as well.
But seven years have past, and the Disney machine has evolved into something more terrifying, maddening and artless. Since, Disney+ has become the corporation’s priority, further alienating talent within their big machine. Film and television are valued less by individual merit, and more by how much they contribute to brand posterity and potency.
