Lion King 1994 is still the greatest animation in human history, dont try to match it
Uhm not sure about that one.

They can't compare with the Disney Renaissance storyboarders and visual artists at the top of their game. It's futile to even try, as this movie amply demonstrates. No amount of money put into 3D rendering will change that fact.
I get the photo-realism approach forces them to lean on the audio for the chills, but I don't get why that would lead to gutting half the song and most of the instrumentation.
This is the shittiest timeline, holy shit! Lion King ruined.It didn't help that there wasn't a live-action Kimba to crib from either
Thats another aspect of this thats just a naked cash grab. Celebrity casting of the worst kind. Casted for marketing purposes.Gutted song because they gotta give the time to queen Beyoncé 💅
Sure, but she should compliment the offering not reduce itGutted song because they gotta give the time to queen Beyoncé 💅
Meanwhile both Jungle Book and Lion King will make millions more than Mowgli; Disney knows what sells.I remember people were harping on Andy Serkis' Mowgli for the animals having cartoony/human like faces, but now we see why they were designed that way. Serkis is pretty much a master of the craft so he knows what works and what doesn't.
I was expecting the new Lion King movie to be great! It only got a 57% on MC and it's rotten on RT?
So disappointing. The Lion King was one of my favorite movies ever. I love Disney movies. Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, 100 Dalmatians, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Mulan
Why don't their Live Action counterparts come even close to their OG?
Aladdin is very absurd and stupid. Ewww, there were so many weird stuff that felt so out of place especially during a song number in the gold cave. Hiphop in a middle age era? Hmmm okay, that makes so much sense. And I havent even mentioned other stuffIn the end, Will Smith and his hip hop Genie won!
Never doubt the Fresh Prince!
Because these are pointless endeavors borne out of a cynical desire to squeeze money out of people's nostalgia, instead of originating from any creative desire or direction.Why don't their Live Action counterparts come even close to their OG?
Um...ok? Like the cartoon didn't have out of place stuffAladdin is very absurd and stupid. Ewww, there were so many weird stuff that felt so out of place especially during a song number in the gold cave. Hiphop in a middle age era? Hmmm okay, that makes so much sense. And I havent even mentioned other stuff
You meant the cartoon with the blue genie? It is on netflix but i never watched that version before. The only disney franchises that i watched are moana, and wreck it ralph i think (outside of avengers)
Where as those Jack Nicholson, Groucho Marx and Arnold Schwarzenegger impressions were all era appropriate.Aladdin is very absurd and stupid. Ewww, there were so many weird stuff that felt so out of place especially during a song number in the gold cave. Hiphop in a middle age era? Hmmm okay, that makes so much sense. And I havent even mentioned other stuff
There's a reason the Jungle Book has been the only really good one. It actually had a point artistically. It was much darker than the original film, closer in tone to the original books. It paid homage to the 2D animated film but not recreating its plot beat for beat. Also Mowgli actually had a personality and arc rather than just being carried by the wacky animals.Because these are pointless endeavors borne out of a cynical desire to squeeze money out of people's nostalgia, instead of originating from any creative desire or direction.
What does turning The Lion King into a grounded, live action lookalike do for a mythical and majestic story presentation? How does robbing the original picture of its wonderfully diverse color palette improve the film's aesthetic? How are the characters bettered by eliminating any semblance of personality or expression from their faces?
It does nothing, it improves nothing, it betters nothing.

But for the lion king itself, im kinda excited. My first time watching the movie, not sure if it has the animated version on nx but i think i will watch it later. Been hearing about the good news for the movie, and i also heard that the first lion king was adapted from shakespeare's play?
Of course no. That doesnt make any sense. How come it does?
You haven't seen the original? It's chock full of out of place references too!You meant the cartoon with the blue genie? It is on netflix but i never watched that version before. The only disney franchises that i watched are moana, and wreck it ralph i think (outside of avengers)

Why I cannot unserstand is why they didn't make it similar to Aslan....why do I feel like those anime gifs we've seen around like the cupcake-trauma dog, wriggling cat, perpetual frowner cat hell even those barn owls cackling and gulping down rats are way more expressive than a freaking million dollars production from motherfucking DISNEY?
Like, what's their end goal here? Making an independently entertaining photorealistic remake for the Lion King or just making another documentary fodder for NatGeo?
Because lions dont emote like that........wait a minuteWhy I cannot unserstand is why they didn't make it similar to Aslan.
Both jungle book and lion king are remakes of two of the most popular animated films of all time and Disney has a cult like fan base of course they would make more but mowgli came out on Netflix regardless.Meanwhile both Jungle Book and Lion King will make millions more than Mowgli; Disney knows what sells.
Not harping on the film, but their "live action" fare are clear money grabs above all.
