Live action remake? No. Just no. The animation is what made the movies special.

IDK it could be good, but the race-swapping has me trepidatious.

Haha oh God again?

Why do they do this? I'm convinced it just for marketing because people hate it, it increases noise before it comes out.

Such a stupid thing to do. If you want black people in movies write a movie about black people.

I genuinely think it's because they are afraid woke people will say that the movie is too white.

This will fail :/

OK but is it a remake of the movie or another adaptation from the books? Because the books are very different, and it would be neat to see another interpretation. But if it's a remake of the animated movie, well, we've seen that already and it was really good.

I'm not getting my hopes up, but there are good signs for this movie.
