23 Reasons Rebooting 'Home Alone' On Disney+ Is A Terrible Idea, You Filthy Animals

If you want to see how bad "Home Alone" is without Macaulay Culkin, watch "Home Alone 3."

The cast was just announced for the "Home Alone" reboot on Disney+. While it's a solid cast, we are just wondering why it was necessary to reboot this Christmas classic in the first place.

It doesn't work. Cell phones.

Kevin McCallister = little Macauley Culkin ONLY.

Kevin wouldn't have a Seamless account, so he couldn't order the pizza.

Will there be enough annoying cousin distractions to make the forgetting of the kid possible? Doubtful.

"Home Alone" is arguably the best Christmas movie of all-time. It might be the last movie on earth that needs a reboot.

Good luck replicating Macaulay Culkin's Oscar-winning performance. 

The soundtrack from the O.G. "Home Alone" is too perfect, how could you top that?

There is NO way with internet, smart phones, Alexa, etc. that leaving your kid at home can be solved in a matter of minutes.

Kevin is 36 years old in 2019.

The gun sounds that the pizza guy hears would be 100 percent reported and investigated within 10 minutes.

You expect us to believe that there isn't ONE human the parents could call to get the child you left at home?!

"Home Alone" is one of the most quotable movies EVER. No new script will come close.

Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci are THE Marv and Harry, and I won't let you ruin this for me.

The stuff he uses to booby trap the house are so era specific it is cinematic GOLD.

THERE WAS ALREADY MULTIPLE SEQUELS WITH THE FIRST OF THEM BEING ANOTHER CLASSIC!

Making a reboot tells the children of today they don't need to watch the original.

IF BABY YODA ISN'T PLAYING KEVIN IN THE REBOOT, WE ARE NOT INTERESTED DISNEY+!

Also, they wouldn't have been late to the airport in the first place. Even if the power went out, the alarms would be set on cell phones.

Even if they left Kevin at home, he would have just Ubered to the airport himself.

None of them would have made their flights in 2019 if they were running that late because airport security is a NIGHTMARE.

There would be a MUCH better security system on this house...

The original "Home Alone" is simply the greatest ode to cheese pizza of all-time and it is perfect.

Now Kevin would be dairy free, gluten free, or vegan.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
