No doubt, the general public is more than willing to take that crap, where diehard tlk fans are more likely to see the issues with it all over the place. The ratings don't make it a good film but the whole nostalgic remakes of classic films is a huge thing right now, so I'd say the likelyhood of a tlk2 remake is pretty likely with the numbers it did in the box office.[/quote]
As a "diehard" TLK fan, I think that the remake is just about a shameless cash-grab while allow the art team to stroke their egos by showing off their render farms. The remake is significantly worse than the original, and I feel like we might have been better off without it ever happening...

..But I also admit that if the original movie didn't exist, and the remake was the original, that on its own, it's still a good movie. Not great. Just good.
This also means that I can easily see how this movie is making all of the cash it does. I enjoy much worse movies, so how can I hate on others for liking this one? Sure, I personally don't like it, but I'm not going to stop others from indulging in it.
Just leaves me feeling a little disappointed. A part of me hoped that the remake would do poorly and serve as a warning against all of these remakes. Instead, it only told Disney to continue on full steam ahead.
