Disney is as shrewd as ever to start adapting every one of their animated movies released from the late eighties to mid nineties into live action. Since pretty much the entire Earth's population has somehow seen the originals, checking out a remake seems like a given. But I wonder how they'll handle some of the sexual stuff the old movies got away with back then?
I referring mainly to The Little Mermaid and Aladdin of course, and the skimpy costume design for the leading ladies. I've drawn Jasmine a couple times, and in both cases stated my theory that her midriff baring outfit would never fly in the easily offended "won't someone think of the children" world we live in today. But with Aladdin supposedly next in their line up of adaptations, we'll finally get to see if I'm right.
Whether they change the costumes or not there's bound to be backlash, and it seems like it's a headache either way for Disney. But maybe controversy is what they want? It certainly helps sell tickets, what do you guys think?
