[Expy]

My wife showed me this and I thought it was amazing.

Some examples :

More at the link.

 

[Masoyama]

Those look so much worse. I guess I should stop complaining about how dead it looks. Better bland than whatever that is.

 

[Halbrand]

Worse than Sonic

 

[Ryuelli]

Scar looks alright, everything else looks significantly better in Disney's version.

 

[Future Gazer]

nightmare fuel

 

[TheChungusAmongUs]

That looks awful

 

[JDSN]

Horrible.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Both versions are pretty bad. You can't just plaster the old art style on top of the new one and expect them to mesh well.

 

[Failburger]

Sheesh,

I would get into hunting if animals actually looked like that.

 

[Villein]

soooo made it a cartoon again ?

 

[wandering]

That looks terrible. Cartoonish proportions and realistic rendering don't mix.

 

[Arebours]

How about just be happy with the original. The existence of these remakes doesn't add anything of value.

 

[Deleted member 17388]

It's like a reverse "Mario in Unreal Engine 4"

"Unreal Engine in Mario 64" :v

 

[NinjaScooter]

That looks fucking terrible

 

[Poppy]

iiiiiii dunno about this one

 

[Seesaw15]

These look AWFUL.

 

[Ryuhza]

This doesn't really work. It would be better if they went for something closer to the Jungle Book remake.

 

[Maolfunction]

Scar looks alright, everything else looks horrible. you can't paste cartoon on top of these designs.

 

[Bliman]

Yikes that is ugly.

 

[Deleted member 8860]

Looks like something DreamWorks would do.

 

[The Struggler]

I actually like it alot

 

[DrForester]

I can't stop laughing

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

That tells me Favreau made the right choice.

 

[grmltr]

ABORT

 

[IDreamOfHime]

Is this from the Kingdom Hearts 3 DLC?

 

[Meatwad]

The entire point of the live action version is that it looks real. Making it a cartoon again would be extra pointless

 

[Parthenios]

Except for Pumba I think those all look significantly better (technical skills of the renders notwithstanding).

 

[El Bombastico]

I didn't think it was possible, but somehow these look worse...

 

[VorpalNonsense]

That's kind of a nightmare

 

[Mona]

the new ones are freaking me out

 

[Byakuya769]

Amazing in what respect?

 

[Neece]

These look horrifying.

Just watch the cartoon.

 

[Glasfrut]

Nah, chief...

 

[Slayven]

Rafikki legit scared me scrolling down. Good lord

 

[Greatestjediever]

I'm not sure if making a movie that already has complaints that it's a shot for shot reproduction of the cartoon would be better off by just copying the animation of said cartoon.

 

[Whitemex]

Rafiki one is so bad. The worst of the bunch. I'm going to have nightmares

 

[wenis]

who were the artists that did this?

 

[Tezz]

 

[DemonCarnotaur]

Meh, it's just the cartoon with texture

Gimme a middleground between that and what's in the film, and I bet it would look really nice

 

[Inugami]

Scar looks... alright. Though he looks like rough proof of concept work... The others? Straight garbo.

 

[Meg Cherry]

These all look terrible. Like an awful 2005 reboot that just slapped CGI characters into real world environments.

 

[VideogameVices]

LOL. no.

some of them are so bad.

 

[Sulik2]

Wtf no. Those look terrible.

 

[GavinUK86]

 

[NameUser]

The edits aren't perfect but they should've went with a stylized look.

 

[scottbeowulf]

These are not good. And this wasn't what they were going for at all.

 

[Shoe]

Holy shit, those would look horrifying in motion

 

[Aexact]

I don't know what I was expecting but horror was actually not it.

Seems pretty skilled though.

 

[Tavernade]

Doing it with these designs would make it even more pointless. It's literally just the original art style but now CG.

 

[El Bombastico]

I'm sorry, but Pumba looks like a molester.
