Disney is deep in its live-action remake era, and honestly… we’re exhausted. In this episode, we dive into why Disney keeps recreating its animated classics, which ones actually work, which ones feel totally pointless, and why most of them miss the magic of the originals.

We talk about the hits like Cinderella and Cruella, the “just okay” ones like Aladdin and The Jungle Book, and the absolute “why did they do this” tier like The Lion King, Mulan, and The Little Mermaid.

We also talk about nostalgia, corporate strategy, fan expectations, and how Hollywood keeps using familiar IP as a safety net — even when the remakes add nothing new.

And of course, we go all in on the one we’re truly dreading: the upcoming Moana live-action remake. It’s too soon, unnecessary, and makes us wonder if Disney has run out of ideas entirely.

If you’re tired of Disney repainting its own classics and calling it innovation, this episode is for you.
