What is the tendency to adapt caricatures?

In the last decade, many film adaptations have been released on the screens. The trend itself was determined by Disney, who decided to inherit the classic hits. In Russia, the experience was successful, although it was associated for other reasons.

We say that the film adaptations of the studios of cartoons and why the remakes of fairy tales in Russia and Hollywood are stigmatized.

How did the tendency developed in adaptation of cartoons?

In 2019, the animated film “King Leo” broke several records and most of the box office animated film (until September 2024) and the seventh of the most cash film of all time. Later, the audience accepted the reconstruction of “Beauty and Monster”, “Aladdin”, “Dambo” and others.

The tendency to film adaptation gained popularity in Russia. Cheburashka was released on January 1, 2023, and in just three days, the film’s box office paid 850 million rubles. Later, Russian film was the box office in the history of distribution. For comparison: “Cheburashka gathered 91.8 million dollars and only üv Avatar olan, which only wages in our country, lost $ 119.9 million. Soyuzmultfilm is expected to continue on January 1, 2026 and continue a production that explains the plans to create an entire franchise in the cartoon universe. In Russian cinemas, the new “Prostokvashino” and “Pinocchio” will be shown on the same date.

The other film adaptations of the Golden Fund of the Soviet cartoons include “Bremen Musicians”, “Pike Command”, “Flying Ship”, “Horse Invoice”, “Fire”, “Emerald City Wizard”. It is fair to state that they all receive a good response from the audience. In addition, we will probably see a series based on “Old Man Hottabych” and “Mamut ”’s remakes, as well as a series of“ workshop! Puck ”cartoon.

Why should you displace the same thing?

Of course, most of the listed film adaptations have a longer source – folklore and fairy tales. And most Remake actually leaves the original plan of cartoons. For example, in the reconstruction of “Mulan ,, instead of a dragon, Musha and Crickets screams are Fenhuan (Poultry Bird), and the Leitmotive of the Story is not the love of her daughter’s father, but women’s power. Similarly, a fluffy animal and gloomy old man, the old woman Shapoklyak and the crocodile gene for the forecasts of the hunter “Cheburashka ında, but the land itself revolves around the relationship between fathers and children.

Nevertheless, it turns out that the re -productions do not fully copy the cartoons.

On the contrary, these are the original films hidden as a long time understandable, popular and recognized audience brand. Nostalgia is a powerful anchor that can attract the attention of a finished audience and attract attention. On the one hand, it takes what he pays, and on the other hand he will find a pleasant attraction with unexpected land forks. And this element of innovation plays in the hands of everyone. The directors show creativity, the audience does not feel deceived, and the manufacturers think of snow.

But there is another reason. The truth is that the transfer of copyright in the United States ends 70 years after the death of the Creator, which means that Disney is at risk of lion’s share of profit. Currently remember that Mickey Mouse’s original design is a public ownership.

There is a nuance: With the loss of rights, Disney still continues to have late versions of the character. Therefore, the creation of a reconstruction is one of the ways to be safe and profit without violating the copyright law.

In Russia, after becoming children of Millennia, the number of film adaptations of beloved Soviet cartoons increased. Nostalgia tendency and a new wave of interest in its culture emerged. In both cases, the result was not only positive, but also exceeded all expectations.

The reasons are different, but the result is the same. However, with the desire to win a studio, they would not have to investigate too much effort and finance to a deliberate project. It turns out that the last word is still behind the audience.

All movie adaptations are not successful

So what happened to Snow White this year? The film adaptation has become the box office in the history of Disney, which is ironic, because the classic cartoon of 1937 was accepted as a victory of the animation of its time and was awarded for innovation in Oscar. Will there be a signal for studio bosses, or does the remake tendency just gain momentum?

Of course, the failure of Snow White is largely related to the disaster advertising campaign and the scandals around him, but many claims put forward by the film can be presented to other Disney Remakes. Let the audience not like Latin American Snow White, but they weren’t ready for a dark -skinned mermaid. The hats mocked the “ugly” cgi-gnomes, but they forgot the same thing that they said the same thing that appealed to the pisal fish and Sabstian shell. Yes, and before the publication of the film, recall the discussions about how the mermaid can be tanned under water and whether it was used in oil. At the same time, the evaluation of the “Merosa Girls üzerinde on the IMDB was 7.2 stars, it was too much, and even if they didn’t like actresses, the box office was good, but they agreed.

Today, Disney, a modest studio, has long been an unlimited empire by creating a cartoon for a long time. The portfolio includes amusement parks, record companies, flow services, television channels and Pixar, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, 20th century studios and other film studios. Therefore, loss of Snow White will be covered by the profit of other projects. So, if you can get the same results, if you are mobilizing a beaten road, why do you find a bike?

At first, Disney stopped the production of productions, fear of negativity, but was still not enough to change the course. Already in April (Russia – May 22), Lilo and Stich Play Remect was released on the screens, exploded to the box office leaders and collected more than $ 858 million in the world. Now there’s Moana in production and probably waiting for Rapunzel to start again. Yes, and Dreamworks reorganized “how to domesticate the dragon ve in June and was warmly accepted by the audience and received 8.1 stars in IMDB.

Why did the game remakes just succeed in the early twenties?

Nevertheless, the cartoons began to withdraw for a long time, but they did not cause such excitement. At least get the film Skubi-Do ”2002, which was scolded by the audience and critics. The animation series itself has been broadcast on television since 1969, but it is interesting that zero generation of children and adults responds to the attempt to gain nostalgia in an aggressive way.

Satan in details: Only new Remakes set up the accents correctly and correspond to the spirit of time.

Unlike Millennia, Zukers’s generation is more interested in politics and psychology, so cartoons such as “puzzles” and “soul” are in an explosion. In the lands of new cartoons and Remakes, we pay attention to the almost disappearance of humor and love. Cartoon “Mulan” 1998 is much more fun and romantic than a last film. After all, if the aggressive joke, the studio will fall into a scandal and lose money. Therefore, new stories disappear in entertainment. All the choice of children likes are removed and the rest of them – a manifesto, an expression about a strong woman, and confronts gender stereotypes. But this is what the current mass loves.

Your expectations are our problems

Cartoon on the same screen in the 80s, for example, “Who founded Roger’s Rabbit?” And “in the parallel world”. Already in the 90s, the audience saw CGI-Dinosaurs in Jurassic Park and strokes such as “Shrek”, “Nemo in search”, “Ice Age” and “Madagascar” appeared on zero. The animation developed strongly and opened new features in cinema. Yes, and the land themselves did not repeat themselves.

The audience finally accepted the idea that cartoons were entertainment for adults. Animation began to talk about politics, sex and social problems. And this changed the attitude of the audience: it was more challenging in the parcels. If no one has doubted love at first sight before, they showed that the “cold heart” needed time and effort for relationships. Yes, and if the princess doesn’t get married, it’s okay, because it doesn’t determine the value of a relationship. Malefisent’s evil man turned out to be the most person of everyone, because he only expressed indifference with words, but in fact Aurora was cooked more than his mother.

Companies explain the mass reproduction production with a desire to introduce a young audience to traditional lands, but as we can see, the result is different from the original interpretation. Failure can be seen anywhere.

The classic “mermaid” is good, but Zukers is very victim from the point of view and “beauty and monster” abusive relationships are completely shown. Therefore, managers must adapt to the expectations of the audience.

In fact, it is more important to tell the wrong story in the original source, but the majority wants to see.

However, even if the original texts of the fairy tales have undergone a strong transformation over time, are the studios certainly worth judging? Before he became the hero of the German fairy tale, his cinderella was the ancient Egyptian hetero fodoris, and the history of Bel left the myth of Amur and Porech.

Who pays for a feast?

Films want to please a solvent audience. For this reason, we take fairy tales that they talk about discrimination, social inequality and all the problems we usually hear in the news. This creates an opportunity for discussions, metabolism, enthusiasm and hatred and new tendencies, whether it is a mermaid or barbie seed. All this brings snow.

With all the advantages of the festival cartoons – even if we talk about the catfish that the audience love from “Akarsu ((does not pronounce a single word in heroes) – they will not become a mass brand like Cheburashka. And the creation process is costly and time consuming, especially if the cartoon is created manually. The same Snow White was painted for three years. Will Zukers expect the premiere who is accustomed to great information flow?

In Russia, on the contrary, cartoon adaptations focus on a family mass. This shows more than 6 years of age in most fairy tales. So, adults pay for themselves and children, and adolescents look at another content.
