I mean...it looks like they just made the same damn movie but with CGI photo realistic animals rather than 2D animated ones.

Disney's obsession with remaking all their old movies in live action is just baffling to me, but shit, they make money, so obviously there is an audience for it.
I can't wait until they decide to remake Chicken Little or even one of the more recent films in Live Action or farm it to the British for a Full Photoreal CGI remake.
 
I wish we could see a reimagining of Black Cauldron. Disney should focus on redeeming its bad films rather that literally just making the same film but with slight variations that piss you off.
 
Saw the trailer, and couldn't care less.

I mean I liked the original, but it's been over 20 fucking years - I'm happy just remembering the animation without needing to see it get a multi-million dollar facelift.

But I digress: this movie's not for me, it's for all the normalfags who furiously masturbate to everything Disney-made and consider them to be virtuous paragons incapable of doing anything wrong...oh, and something about kids...

It’d be nice if Disney just gave us the original work print of The Black Cauldron before executive meddling occurred. Movie was apparently too scary for young kids.
 
I think the main problem with the trailer is that it looks so uninteresting. Like, imagine you're a kid whose never seen or heard of The Lion King before, and this trailer is the first thing you see. Everything in the trailer looks generic and pretty bare bones as far as color goes. There's really not a lot to draw a child's attention to it.

I guess Disney will just have to settle for nostalgic adults as usual.

Here's the thing I don't get who actually watches these things, remakes of video games I can understand graphics change and so on. But who looks at Lion King and goes "Wow that animation is so dated"? So it just comes down to people being nostalgic for a cartoon but are too snobby to just watch the fucking cartoon again because "cartoons are for kids" so they instead are going to watch a 3D cartoon with the exact same fucking story and music.

That's the sad part. It's a shame when it goes this far.

This means that at some point during the creation of this movie someone actually thought John Oliver is the equivalent to Rowan Atkinson.
And why no hyenas? Why are you remaking the movie and putting less in?
Either there's budget issues (CGI like this ain't cheap), Or Disney feels like it could "offend" someone. Which in this day and age, would not be surprising since pretty much anything can offend a lot a people.
 
At least the Jungle Book was set in a lush tropical rainforest, and the Bandar-Log looked like a real temple. I don't think the hand-drawn original animation really did the rainforest as much justice as the CGI effects. I liked the scenery a lot, I felt like I was really visiting the rainforest. The sheer size of some of the trees was magnificent and really added to the feel of things.

But the savannah...is a big, flat place. I guess Timon and Pumbaa live in a rainforest, but they already did that with Jungle Book, and it's supposed to be a fun and happy jungle - not a massive, challenging place. I guess it would be cool to see the interpretation of Scar's underground lair, but omitting the Be Prepared song pretty much negates all of that since that's when you get to see all of the smoke and steam and green glowing geysers.

The Jungle Book was visually lovely, but I don't think Lion King will make for the same kind of experience. Plus, the Lion King was much more musical than Jungle Book, and making the animals all realistic will hamper the ability to have fun musical numbers with cartoonish movement and dancing.
