So question: The disney sequels have a mostly-deserved reputation for being unnesscary cookie-cutter cash grabs. Are the any that you think were actually enjoyable?

Hi, you mean the live-action remakes, right? Actually, yes! Read below.

Yeah, I enjoyed:

Alice in Wonderland (2010) Cinderella (2015) Beauty and the Beast (2017) Christopher Robin (2018) That's it. 1. I love Alice in Wonderland (the book, and the story in general). It's special to me. Burton's Alice is an actual, genuine sequel film supposed to take place years after the events in Alice's in Wonderland. It borrows elements from the novels Disney didn't fit in in the animated version, and it brought together creative minds who were perfect for bringing Lewis Carroll's Wonderland to life in fresh ways. I like Alice in it in particular; Alice is the only female character I will tolerate people calling a 'feminism icon' or any variant of that, and in this movie, my reasons why are on full display. I could elaborate, but that would take too long, so I won't. I love Alice in Burton's movie; she's book-accurate to a T, right down to the wild mane of hair from the original illustrations, and having her champion Wonderland and rekindle her 'muchness' was a perfect character arc for an older Alice. Again, could elaborate, again, not going to. 2. Cinderella (2015) is a national treasure and there's nothing wrong with it. Nothing. It's exactly as colorful, magical, and moral as it ought to be. The writing is exquisite, the simplicity of the theme "have courage and be kind" is so well-done, and again, perfectly cast. If you're going to remake an animated classic, this is how it's done. Take the best points of the original story and expand on it; try to make it even brighter. A++. 3. Let me be clear. Let me explain about Beauty and the Beast (2017). I would rather watch the original, animated BatB every single time. I only included this film on my list because I like snow, and I like the new songs, and I like the costumes (except Belle Watson's dress, put that zipper AWAY-) and I like Ewan McGregor, and I like Emma Thompson, and I like Dan Stevens. It's a feast for the eyeballs and the ear holes, sort of like the original (but nothing even close to the original). I won't duck my head and act like I didn't have fun with this film when it first came out, or like I wouldn't turn it on late at night if it was snowing outside and I had a fire going. In the right mood, I would. Visually appealing. Musically delightful. Everything else about it is garbage, and a waste of time. I spit upon it all. Emma Watson played a plank of wood in a dress whining about women, the Beast's character arc deserved more, Gaston should have been worse, Lefou was a joke, no. No. Ew, ew, ew.

4. Christopher Robin (2018) was an actual sequel, like Alice, and everyone should watch it. Everyone should make their favorite warm drink and go get a blanket and watch it. Again, nothing wrong with it. Absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Pooh is himself, Piglet is himself, they're all themselves. All of them. And Ewan McGregor was stellar. The theme, the execution, the pacing, genuinely a flawless love letter to everything about Winnie the Pooh, and Disney's version of Pooh, and the whole Hundred Acre Wood, including the ones we all had when we were children. Exactly what it should have been. No notes. A++. Yes! I enjoyed those. Had fun with those. None of the others.

Two nickels for red headed not-British guys who play Star Wars characters with British accents starring in live-action Winnie the Pooh movies

*Live action Winnie The Pooh movies that also have "Christopher Robin" in the title.

Yeah, it's weird that it happened twice.

We should do a crossover. Let's create the Christopher Robin (feat. Red Headed Not-British Star Wars actors from the British Isles faking British accents) Cinematic Universe.

There is a degree of nonchalantness with which Ewan McGregor plays Christopher Robin that I find hilarious. Like, yes this is my old friend, the living stuffed animal from a magic fantasy land. I used to go there all the time as a boy, but, you know, life happens, friends grow apart, that sort of thing. I don’t know that it’s a good choice per se, but I am enjoying it.

Christopher Robin is the greatest movie of all time. Fucking love that movie. Makes me tear up and laugh and omg so many feels. But it also just bears such an important message towards the audience, nowadays everyone is so consumed by work and seemingly important things. But we sometimes forget what is really important and we should also fill up our 'case of important things' with memories of the ones that we love <3

If you haven't seen that movie yet, go see it. It's amazing

Svetlana Stalin: "Can you please just be cordial?"

Vasily Stalin: "I know the drill. Smile, shake hands and try not to call them cunts."

Svetlana Stalin: "Perfect. That's perfect."

What did you think of Christopher Robin? It's one of my favorite Disney movies

So, I have it on DVD, but have yet to actually see it. I just don’t have the space (physical, mental, and emotional) needed to cry over Ewan McGregor and childhood memories if it comes down to it.
