    I would totally watch this movie. Not sure about the director choice though...

    unfortunately so. That's why we have Hannah Montana.
    Bah.. Hannah Montana was just a rip off of Jem.

    As much as I liked Toy Story, it's hardly an original concept. Toys that come to life when no one is around? It's been done many times, and not just as a film, but also in books and TV.

    Toy Story's concept is that Character #1 is stuck with Character #2, who Character #1 despises, and that they have to work together to solve problems together in order to reach a good outcome.

    They just happen to be toys.

    If you're going to be a pedant about it, then nothing has been original for years.

    I'm not the one who said it wasn't an original concept! I know that hardly anything is original nowadays.

    I've decided that I'll see the live-action Mulan if they include all of the songs and dances word for word/move for move.

    Seems like it'll be done Scorpion King style with lots of fighting. I don't think it'll be an amazing movie. Just like the Mummy or something.

    Wait, Disney's making live action versions of Cinderella and Tinkerbell too?

    If this is indeed true (and I'm questionable to the validity of that article), I will run to the theater to see it.

    Yeah, a lot of stories have been used again, and again so I don't let it get to me, I just see if the story's good.

    One example is the whole Two characters are in love, but their famillies and friends hate each other, so they are in love in secret - it's been done many times. And Shakespear wasn't the first before you say...

    I like Zhang Ziyi so I'd watch this. I doubt it'll be as special to me as the cartoon version but it'd be interesting to see what the differences will be.

    On the subject of there being no Disney Orginials - we do sort have Lion King, even though it has some elememnts of Shakespear (and what doesn't?) it is not a reworking of anything else.

    And I don't want to hear about The White Lion simply having a similar sounding character name does is not enough, as both storylines are completly different.

    Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959)

    ^ That was a Disney original story.

    On the subject on Mulan, I actually think it will translate well to live-action unlike many of their other animated movies.
