A classic is when a movie becomes an obsession. You want to dress up as your favorite character for the next decade and repeat lines you don’t even understand. The movie feels like it’s been part of your life all along.

The only way these movies can be ruined is when studios decide to create a live-action version of what was already perfection.

Compiled here are the worst live-action remakes — watching them will wreck your nostalgia.

“Aladdin” (2019)

The live-action remake of the original “Aladdin” (1992) had many flaws. Lead actors Mena Massoud (Aladdin) and Naomi Scott (Jasmine) spoke like they were reading a script. Their facial expressions were forced, and it was clear they tried, and failed, to imitate the animated characters’ traits.

The villain, Jafar, wasn’t as scary or intimidating as the character should have been. The poorly done special effects made the production look low-budget. This remake was an insult to the original Aladdin film.

“The Smurfs” (2011)

Since they first appeared on television in 1958, many productions and adaptations of “The Smurfs” have been made, including the live-action and computer-generated imagery (CGI) remake in 2011.

The production stripped the original of its Belgian-cottagey feel by placing the Smurfs in the real world. It’s clear that the actors weren’t really talking to anyone while they were interacting with the virtually edited Smurfs, who felt foreign and out of place.

The film tried to emphasize the importance of staying true to yourself, but the theme didn’t translate well.

“The Last Airbender” (2010)

This live-action remake retold the original story (2005) from the perspective of protagonist Avatar Aang. If you never watched the original, you’d be lost. You won’t fall in love with the characters the way you should.

But the worst part is the acting, including leads Noah Ringer (Aang) and Dev Patel (Zuko), whose lines and fight scenes are laughable. The movie even ended without Aang fulfilling his potential, which was the main resolution of the original show and central to his entire character.
