It’s a dream come true for many Disney fans as Walt Disney Studios has announced it will scrap all Disney remakes, effective May 1.
They found a long-lost addendum to Walt Disney's final directives forbidding remakes of their animated works. The CEO has announced the company will honor Disney's wishes.
Walt was all about remakes. Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty ... none of these were original ideas.

Those would not have been remakes of previous Disney animations.
I understand that, but I'm just pointing out that Walt was not pressed about "making something from nothing."
There is no such thing. The last creator to make something from nothing was God. Everything else comes from something before. The last storyteller who came up with a truly original idea was leaning in close to the fire while his listeners gnawed on mammoth bones.
But your point is well taken. I grow tired about the constant whining, "No more remakes!" when there are so many examples of great remakes. The problem with Disney is the complete and utter lack of any artistic flair to any of their movies or TV shows in recent years. These are not examples of the great craft of filmmaking. They are the cinematic equivalent of Happy Meals.

I think the essence of that April Fool's joke points out the problem with, specifically, the Disney live-action remakes of their previous animations. The "life" was in the animations and the live-action versions are always more wooden in comparison. That was probably more clear with the "live action" (CGI) version of "The Lion King."
I recently watched the Pixar-Disney movie "Turning Red," which I thought was hilarious. It's not impossible to do the same movie in live action with CGI, but there's no way it would be as vivacious.
