I don't enjoy musicals. And I think the Disney movie's target audience is kids. But I've enjoyed a couple live action remakes of other animated shows/movies/games/books that were more geared toward adult audiences. I think I'm in the minority though. Because they usually get canceled pretty quickly. For instance, I thought the Cowboy Beebop show had potential and was already better than the animated episodes that I could make it through (watched the first season or so and thought it was pretty bad and corny, never went back to it). I liked the new lord of the rings show, that everyone shits on. And I didn't think the Halo show was too terrible. I liked the first season of The Last of Us. But I wish they wouldn't have stuck to the game content so closely and given us some new content instead. Apparently, most people want the remakes to be exact copies of the original. But I find that approach to be pretty pointless. Like, if I wanted that, I'd just revisit the source material. I want to see some new works that are inspired by the originals. Not a photo-copy.

I haven’t seen the Little Mermaid yet (the live action one) but one of the things I noticed watching the trailer is that the underwater world felt kind of dark and empty compared to the original, which is more realistic obviously, but the animated original just felt so alive and bright and the live action one just looked so… to put it mildly… not that.

Yet they keep making more, because people who saw the originals want to see them for nostalgia and a lot of them have kids now so the kids themselves who may or may not have seen the originals will enjoy the live action ones more if not just as much.
