What's with all the remakes?

Awww... These are my favorite childhood movie/television show characters. I watched them when I was in first grade, second grade, third grade... even now sometimes. After school, when I got home I would revel in the fairytales and adventures of my beloved heroes. Nothing and I really mean nothing could disturb my marathon of watching them. Looking back, I wonder what exactly drew me in to watching those classic Disney films. Was it the animations? The script? The adorable animals? The heroic princes? The kind, yet daring and beautiful heroines? The quintessential theme of good over evil? Independence?

Or was it simply because that, as a child, all I had to watch on TV/ DVD were Disney films?

I suppose I will soon find out what sort of magic compelled me to sit so still when I watched Disney films.

Anyone who has seen the list of upcoming films will notice a trend.


Disney's remake of Cinderella in 2015 was one of the highest grossing films of the year. Amazing right? That Cinderella, a film produced decades ago, was so well received? Not really.

It's not a surprise that a remake of a beloved classic children's film was so well received.

Here's a few of the upcoming movies:

The Jungle Book (2016)

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)

The Huntsman: Winter's War (2016)

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016)

Finding Dory (2016) 

Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

Star Wars: Episode VIII (2017)

I for one cannot wait to wait these remakes and sequels. Hopefully they'll live up to the hype.
