Moana fans bemoan 'shot for shot' live action remake after new trailer released

""It looks like a shot for shot remake. What's the point? Even the animated characters look pulled straight from the original. Put your efforts elsewhere and be creative again.""

""Hundreds of millions of dollars wasted so Dwayne Johnson can don a terrible wig and deliver the same lines but with worse timing. New low for the corporate slopmongers.""

""Disney trying to nostalgia bait us with this live action slop when the original isn't even a decade old. I've never seen a creative drought this dire.""

""You already made a fantastic movie. Moana is nearly perfect. Everything about this looks like a less charming version of the original.""

The latest trailer for Disney's live-action remake of Moana has left fans unconvinced, with many noting its close resemblance to the original film. Dwayne Johnson reprises his role as Maui, while Catherine Laga'aia takes over as Moana. Critics on social media expressed disappointment, calling it a shot-for-shot remake and questioning the creativity behind the project. Some fans lamented the wasted resources and expressed hope that the film would fail to deter Disney from remaking animated classics.
