So, I finally got around to seeing the new Beauty and the Beast and I thought it was completely unnecessary. Ditto for Snow White and the Huntsman. Are there any live action movies that you can recommend?

They're all pretty bad because Disney only makes them to retain the rights to the properties.

Really? Where could I read more about that?

The Jungle Book was pretty good but I have gotten a mixed bag of views on the new BATB. I will agree though that movies that take children's tales and make them dark and edgy are absolute hog shit and need to stop. Alice In Wonderland has been completely castrated by the Hot Topic Tumblrinas thanks to Tim Fucking Burton and I'm terrified at the thought of how they're going to do Sleeping Beauty or Pinocchio since both of those were crowning achievements in animation/film history.

Ditto for Snow White and the Huntsman. Are there any live action movies that you can recommend?

Aren't the majority of movies live action? That's a pretty broad question.

How so? Not that big of an expert of US IP law, but copyright doesn't typically require any use to retain the property and you don't need a massive movie to keep a trademark from expiring or becoming generic.

Can't recall the details, but it's something to do with retaining film rights to their stories, because they're based on fairytales rather than being original properties. I believe this is along the same lines of what Sony was doing with Spider-Man.
