Part 6/11:

The film’s attempt to stay faithful to the original's plot, by recreating scenes shot for shot, inadvertently hampers its ability to adapt to the new medium. The shift from animation to photorealism constrains tone and emotion, leading to moments that appear overly literal or jarring. The emphasis on recreating scenes instead of reimagining them results in a product that lacks the vibrancy and energy of the original.

The Illusion of Technological Advancement

Perhaps the most glaring critique is the film’s over-reliance on cutting-edge technology. Disney’s obsession with hyper-realistic CGI is highlighted as both impressive and problematic. While advanced CGI creates visually stunning imagery, it often serves no narrative purpose.
