Tag: Disney live-action remakes

This is a side-by-side comparison meme that jokes about Disney's ongoing trend of turning animated classic films into live-action remakes, specifically the upcoming live-action *Moana*. The left side features the original animated Maui from Disney's *Moana*, labeled as 'DLSS 5 Off', while the right side shows Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson (who voiced the original animated Maui) as the live-action version of Maui, labeled 'DLSS 5 On'. The joke compares the jump from animation to live-action to NVIDIA's DLSS upscaling technology that improves video game graphics, leaning into the coincidence that animated Maui was already modeled after Dwayne Johnson's likeness.

This two-panel edited humor meme jokes about Disney's upcoming live-action remakes of *Snow White* and *Moana*. The top panel edits leaked promotional imagery of Rachel Zegler as live-action Snow White, swapping Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's face onto her body, while the bottom panel edits Dwayne Johnson's image as Maui from the upcoming live-action *Moana*, swapping Rachel Zegler's face onto his body. The top text reads 'Disney really needs to work on their wig design' paired with a skull emoji, tricking viewers into thinking the swapped faces are just poorly designed wigs for a wrong-casting joke, playing into existing online criticism and jokes about Disney's live-action remake character designs.

This meme jokes about Disney releasing a live-action remake of the already popular and well-known animated film *Moana*. The top of the meme shows the official trailer thumbnail for the new live-action *Moana*, confirming the upcoming remake. The meme uses a scene from the 1985 film *Back to the Future* as a template: the upper panel labels Marty McFly as "ME", representing the audience, who says "Hey, I've seen this one!", referencing that the story and design are already identical to the original animated *Moana* everyone already knows. The lower panel is labeled "DISNEY", responding with "What do you mean you've seen it? It's brand new!", which sarcastically mocks Disney's habit of releasing near-identical remakes of their older hit animated films and marketing them as new original content.

Disney really said Ctrl+C → Ctrl+V and hit 'live action'
