Part 3/10:
The core of the public's frustration appears to stem from fatigue over Disney's relentless pursuit of live-action remakes, which many deem soulless cash grabs. These adaptations often depart from the original material's spirit, replacing charm with what critics call "editorial insertions" of identity politics, which many feel tarnish the nostalgic magic.
Notable previous efforts—like Mulan and Pinocchio—have also faced heavy criticism, with fans voicing disappointment over changes they see as unnecessary or detracting from beloved stories. The pattern continues with The Little Mermaid and its anticipated release, fueling skepticism and anger among traditional fans.
