4 . There has been a recent wave in Hollywood where studios take popular animated (动画的) films and “improve” upon them by changing them into live-action remakes. The thought that live-action movies are better because they follow the laws of the natural world degrades the style of animation.

The beauty of animation is that its use of caricatures (漫画) and exaggerations (夸张) reflects an amazing amount of creative depth in characters stories that reality cannot. Looking at the bigger picture, it becomes clear that the true purpose of Disney’s ever growing list of live-action remakes is not to comment on the value of animation, although it indirectly does, but a quick way to take advantage of nostalgic (怀旧的) fans.

For evidence, look no further than Disney’s 2019 The Lion King live-action remake, a retelling of the 1994 animated classic. It broke several box office records, raking in a whopping $543.6 million globally in box office sales alone. However, in comparison to the original, the audience satisfaction with the remake decreased greatly on Rotten Tomatoes. This is similar to the the remakes of Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Dumbo, Aladdin, and the countless other live-action remakes Disney has produced within the last 5 years. This means that Disney no longer needs to come up with new and original content because they can make a big profit just by taking beloved stories and remaking them.

In fact, Disney looks at itself as a business, and therefore considers making a profit as one of their main aims.

The problem with this mentality (心态) is that, while Disney makes a huge profit, audiences, artists, and art suffer. They may no longer create new stories or art styles, but rather serve as money-making machines that require directors to produce the same stories with a fresh coat of paint every 10 years or so. If this cycle continues, artists will be held back from creating new lovable characters and stories full of creativity. The feeling of nostalgia when we see old Disney films could possibly never happen-to newer generations if this cycle does not stop.

1. What does the author think of live-action remakes?

A．They slow down Hollywood development.

B．They’ve failed to become a popular art form.

C．They are poor at showing the beauty of nature.

D．They destroy the artistic expression of animation.

2. What makes animation attractive?

A．It bases its stories on reality.	B．It uses many special effects.
C．It explores characters fully.	D．It brings back fans’ memories.

3. Why does the author mention the live-action remakes in paragraph 3?

A．To tell us Disney has given up its originality.

B．To show Disney has focused more on making money.

C．To prove too many remakes have been produced.

D．To show audiences have high expectations of remakes.

4. What is wrong with Disney’s choice?

A．It reduces Disney’s incomes.	B．It demands more from directors.
C．It hurts new-generation audiences.	D．It causes artists to be less creative.
