We all have our own favorite Disney movies. Maybe you are all about the real classics like ‘Beauty and the Beast’ or ‘Snow White’, but around me, the newer films were also super popular, like ‘Lilo & Stitch’.

Some things just can't be anymore

When we look at some Disney films now, we occasionally see things that really can't be anymore. Besides the fact that it's quite outdated that women always have to be rescued by men, as that is a common thread in the stories and makes it difficult to change. We can categorize that under ‘outdated’. Fortunately, they make the female characters much stronger in the live-action versions of the films, which are now regularly coming to theaters. For example, we already saw Emma Watson shine as Belle, and now we can look forward to two more big titles.

To each their own, but the classics remain the only true classics

The newer Disney films like ‘Lilo & Stitch’ were super popular when I was in elementary school. At home, we mainly watched Peter Pan, Snow White, Beauty & the Beast, The Little Mermaid; the real classics in my opinion. But now we can say that Lilo & Stitch also falls under that category. So Disney thought: high time for a newer version! That's why we can enjoy the live-action version of this film in May 2025.

I am especially very happy that this is not the only one

What I am really curious about is the new version of Snow White. There are whispers that they have managed to create a feminist version of the vulnerable girl, but whether they have made significant changes to the plot is still unclear. We do know that it is going to look beautiful, so in March 2025, I will be in the cinema with a huge bucket popcorn, to be one of the first to give my opinion. I will also do that about ‘Wicked‘ by the way...
