Continuing their theme of animation-to-live-action, Disney has decided to create a live-action film based on the Night on Bald Mountain segment of Fantasia. This is interesting in that it is not the first segment from the film they have adapted into and idependant live-action film. A few years ago they adapted the Sorcerer's Apprentice, though it was not a blockbuster hit like Maleficent or Cinderella. Also interesting is the fact that Chernabog, the main character of Night on Bald Mountain was considered for inclusion in The Sorcerer's Apprentice film but was cut so that, if they made a sequel, he could have a larger role. I wonder if perhaps Night on Bald Mountain will serve as a sort of sequel to The Sorcerer's Apprentice because of the fact that they are both segments from Fantasia, because of Chernabog's consideration for inclusion in the latter, the decision to save him for a biggerror role in a sequel and him being the focus of the former. The film itself has great potential for incredible visual effects, however I'm a bit concerned as I read that they are likening it to Maleficent. I actually liked Maleficent but, not having human intelligence, Chernabog would simply not work as an anti-hero. He is a mindless force of chaos and destuction representing chaotic evil rather than the organized evil of Maleficent. He is the most evil being Walt Disney ever created, Disney's version of the devil himself. No maniacal plan, no motivation, he is evil for evil's sake and nothing more. Lately Chernabog has been showing up in more and more Disney related media however, with the exception of Kingdom Keepers (now those would make fantastic movies), he never quite seems to get the representation he deserves. While his boss battle in the first Kingdom Hearts game was fun it admittedly came out of nowhere and added up to nothing, the one in 3D was even worse, a glorified Drop sequence rather than a proper boss battle, and when he appeared in Once Upon a Time he appeared for one episode and was easily dispatched by being tricked into crossing the town line. I'd like to hear what you guys think about all of this.
