I Can't Be The Only One Who Thinks Disney's New Approach To Animal Characters Is Creepy AF

Flounder's poster from The Little Mermaid

If Disney Princesses are the foundation on which Disney's animation success is built, animals are the pillars further building the empire on which the Marvel and Star Wars roof rests. I think that analogy got away from me, but the point I'm making is that animals are an integral part to Disney's movies and a part of nearly every other successful Disney classic. This is something I've become hypersensitive to as of late because I keep seeing absolutely creepy-as-hell remakes of them in live-action. 

It took over 50 years to make it happen, but we've gone from feeding peanut butter to real animals to making them talk, to computer-generated animals that look hyper-realistic and speak. Unfortunately, the latter is extremely terrifying for a number of reasons, and it's time for us to talk about why and consider what the next step is given the number of upcoming live-action Disney remakes.
