This is one of the few of Disney's live-action remakes that actually got me excited and it's going straight to Disney+? What is this bullshit?
Why no theatrical release? And does this mean it's going to feel more like a TV movie than a big-budget production?

They're using real dogs. Looks like a low priority for them despite the high caliber cast.
shareUsing real dogs is a much, much better choice than using CGI. Homeward Bound used real dogs and that was a big part of that film's charm.
I agree the film doesn't seem like a high priority for them, though. I wonder why, because it's a classic, beloved property. The animated film is actually my favorite Disney animated film of all time.
When all of their other live-action remakes have made so much money, why not give this one the same attention, release it theatrically and make another $500+ million?
I suspect because the story is smaller in scale compared with their other film so why spend $100M on two dogs humping?
shareIt didn't look like Homeward Bound at all, looked almost 100% animated from what I saw.
shareNot sure why you perceived it that way. They use real dogs. Lady, for instance, was gotten from an animal shelter.
Maybe watch the trailer again.
I watched about half of it online and it was mostly animated. Do you think they trained the dogs to move their mouths that way? And a lot of the movements.
shareLOL well the mouth motions are obviously animated but that's a small detail. They could've just used the disembodied voices like in Homeward Bound and it would've essentially been the same. I don't think the mouth movement makes the movie "mostly animated." It's just a bit of animation placed on top of a real, live dog.
shareSee this scene here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL-A6KClJ4Q It's mostly animated. You can't train dogs to move like that.
shareI was actually just looking at that clip earlier. I can't really tell what's animated and what's not outside of the mouths. There's clearly some kind of motion enhancement, but it's still real dogs in the scene.
I think it looks good, personally. It certainly looks better than it would if they were entirely CGI creations that didn't exist in time and space.
But will they use CGI spaghetti and meatballs? I'm going to boycott this if so!
