- E viveram felizes para sempre... : a receção dos remakes live-action da DisneyPublication . Fernandes, Laura Martins; Fonseca, Isadora de AtaídeThis study aims to critically analyze audience perceptions of Disney’s live-action remakes, with a focus on The Little Mermaid (2023) and Peter Pan & Wendy (2023). When Disney began adapting its classic animated films into live-action remakes, the studio followed representation policies, which led the films to become contested objects among audiences. Through a qualitative approach involving the analysis of film narratives, social media comments, and opinion pieces by professional critics, it was found that audience perceptions are polarized. The study found that audience perceptions varied widely—while some sought to separate characters' physical appearance from their core identity, others called for greater diversity. These differing views were shaped by factors such as nostalgia, expectations of faithfulness to the source material, and concerns about representation.
