I just watched the new live-action version of that classic animated movie, and I’m left feeling a bit hollow. They changed so much of the original’s charm and heart to make it feel more “epic,” but it just made the characters feel distant and the story overly complicated. Has anyone else found that a remake can lose the original's soul by trying to expand its scope too much?

I felt the film lost the soul that made the old version land so hard. The new epic scale kept getting in the way of the characters, and the moments that used to resonate felt muted.

I tried to measure things as a casual observer. I compared run times and pacing by eye, and the remake pushed through action longer than the original and left less time for quiet character beats. It felt like the heart got trimmed to fit a bigger frame.

Do you think the problem is that the makers chased scope and spectacle while losing focus on the core relationships?

A quick thought that drifted for me then came back I started watching random scenes in a different order and the mood shifted but I still came away unsure if the remake tried to fix a problem that was never the problem to begin with
