Jungle Book is nice because it isn't a carbon copy of the original film. Unlike BatB. But the runaway success of BatB will probably send the signal to Disney that audiences want them to remake the original film basically shot for shot.

In some ways, I don't really mind them completely recycling old stories, because it ends meaning that a new generation of people get to enjoy these "classic" films. As well as whole new regions of people. You can tell them to watch the old ones, but most people won't. But with the marketing and hype of the new ones, people get familiar.

And besides, it's only like one movie per year. There are plenty of others to be original.

I'll be pissed at it when/if Mulan beats Dark Phoenix at the box office.
