Disney has such a huge back catalogue of IP that they can use to make all sorts of crazy shit, and Lord knows they have the budget for it.

I have long speculated it’s a way to keep copyright control of IP that may be entering the public domain, and people who enjoyed the original are more likely to watch the remake.

Snow White was written in the early 19th century, it was already public domain when Disney made their original movie. I suppose extending the copyright will keep people from naming their dwarves sleepy and dopey but they can make as many snow whites as they want.

What in the world makes you think Disney is in a creative field? They are solely in a money-making field.

The Black Hole is a fantastic movie (at least if memory serves, it’s been awhile) that nobody seems to have heard of.
