Disney has been remaking their animated classics for the screen over the past few years with the likes of Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, and The Jungle Book (they did not produce either live action version of Snow White but adaptations of Aladdin, Dumbo, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Mulan, Peter Pan, Pinocchio, and The Sword in the Stone are in the works).

The scenes where Pacino is chasing after Jill come off as an uncomfortable live action version of Pepe le Pew. (fatmovieguy.com)
