Sherlock Holmes (2009)

Disney’s remake library is about to get just a little bit bigger with the news of a live-action remake of their 1997 animated hit, Hercules. Hercules and Aladdin just so happen to be two of the most well-received movies from the 1990s’ Disney Studios renaissance. 2019’s Aladdin was a disappointing remake. Though it did fine at the box office, it was panned by critics, received a 57% on Rotten Tomatoes (as opposed to the original’s 95%), and understandably stirred controversy online for not addressing the original film's harmful Arab representation. So if Disney wants to bypass another Aladdin situation, what are the pitfalls they can avoid with Hercules?
