IDK why but this angers me more than anything. I never even saw the original!
It just reeks of desperation, haha. Fugg.

What the hell..urghh. Seems Disney think their live action remakes are some hot shit like MCU.
Who am I kidding, we'll get a live-action Toy Story remake within the next five years.
Simba walking with Nyla and pausing in mid song to take a crap.Fucking hell. The new version totally lacks soul and charm. Wonder what the new version of "I just can't wait to be king" looks like.

Early showstopper "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" was practically a Busby Berkeley number. But because real animals could never stack on top of each other like that (silly!), the new version finds Simba and love interest Nala (Shahadi Wright Joseph at first, Beyoncé later) trading lines while… running through a stream.
everything is so generic looking im having trouble imagining what the merchandising will even look like. a simba toy will look like your average lion. a pumbaa toy will legit be too disgusting/horrifying. rafiki can still work, i think.
To be fair, the people in charge should'v realized TLK wouldn't work with this misguided aesthetic direction.To be fair, how did people think that musical number would realistically go down?
I can't wait.the only Disney live action remake I'm showing up for is Robin Hood
It would just be a movie about wild animals terrorizing small villages
the only Disney live action remake I'm showing up for is Robin Hood
Thought this picture was fake lmao.
I'll meet you half way. CG remake of the Fox And The Hound 2.Honestly The Fox and the Hound live action could work. The original material it was based on was a lot darker than the animated one and would likely make all the children very upset though.
Lol yeah. It was straight to VHS and is about the Fox and the Hound joining a country band to win a battle of the bands.
Why did it have to be realistic!? Use abstract visuals to tell an incredible story just like the original.To be fair, how did people think that musical number would realistically go down?
Favreau: "that's so unrealistic, a fox and a hound would never join a country band"Lol yeah. It was straight to VHS and is about the Fox and the Hound joining a country band to win a battle of the bands.
Yeah...
It's like people see these films out of some strange obligation.
In the original movie, can you feel the love tonight is sung during the afternoon
Disney movies are just inherently... safe. Both kids and adults are familiar with the properties, so it's easy money for Disney, and an easy buy for parents and those nostalgic for the IPs. Parents will want to take their kids to see a movie, see that Lion King is coming out again and feel safe that their money will be well spent on quality entertainment for them and their kids. Old fans will not want to "gamble" their money on a potentially bad or boring movie, but recognize the Lion King and feel safe spending $12+ on a movie ticket. Something more experimental and weird such as, idk, Midsommar, may be perceived as a "risk" to spend their hard earned money on that movie. Many people go to the movies just for fun, and many may be deterred by "weird" movies coming out. Lion King is a safe buy, whether it's good or not.It's like people see these films out of some strange obligation.
Disney is the most creatively bankrupt studio in existence and they own the most market. Sad state of affairs.
My only hope is once they remake as much as they can live action. They'll surely be forced into bringing back 2D animation something for the nostalgia bucks.

Simba walking with Nyla and pausing in mid song to take a crap.
Very realistic.
To be fair, how did people think that musical number would realistically go down?
I'm pretty sure he was joking.Nope. I'm good thanks. Why couldn't we get the hyper realistic look, but also the charm and fun of the original classic. Was that too much to ask? This version seems really boring and dull.
Did we really need to see Nyla take a shit mid song to make it realistic to the real world?
I'm out
Anyone in this thread who progressively likes the new version of "Be prepared" the more you listen to it? (Or at least changed the "This fucking sucks" initial view)?
leonine...its kinda good. lol.
someone tell me what he says at :36 in though:
"yes ______, times are a changing"

Many people didn't think it could go down with this style, which is the problem. It's also the problem they face with the Peter Pan remake, considering the Hook/Smee/Crocodile slapstick interactions are a big part of what make the movie, and they absolutely can't be done in live action. But I guess they're recognizing this and changing that remake up, which means it has a potential that this one never did.
Like, imagine this scene but in live action, played straight.
It couldn't happen, and just making it be a scene where Hook and Smee are chased out of the cave by a realistic looking and acting crocodile would be completely worthless. But that's essentially what they did with this movie. Bizarre.
To be fair, how did people think that musical number would realistically go down?
This looks like it's gonna suffer from the exact same exact problem as TLK. I'm just imagining two photorealistic dogs with blank stares and straight faces slowly eating a spaghetti noodle until they meet in the middle and you realize that dogs kissing each other is kinda gross.
I see Beast's design in the remake and it's just no better than Sonic's movie design. And that movie was a huge success. Like what the actual fuck.
I mean
fucking really?
Why not? That garbage-looking goop is an insult to one of Disney's greatest character designs.
