What bugs me about this movie, and by extension the live-action remakes Disney has been pumping out, is how lifeless they seem. There's this weird lack of soul that just emanates from the frames, and it's extremely apparent with The Lion King because of how beautiful the original's animation was. The new movie just looks dull and muted compared to the rich colors of the original. The Jungle Book was probably the only exception to this rule given how crude the original movie looked, but you can't tell me these live-action movies are an improvement over the original.
 
The Jungle Book remake isn't even honestly that good. Mowgli doesn't leave for the man-village at the end, there's a stupid lesson about "doing things the human way", and there's no real organic relationship between him and Baloo that even the original film, dull as it was, incorporated. It has amazing visuals, I'll certainly give it that. And there are scenes that sometimes work but for the most part it's still a corporate uneven slog.

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.

I'd rather see someone else take the Black Cauldron's source material (Chronicles of Prydain) and make a good set of films out of it.

EDIT: Someone that's not Peter Jackson, JJ Abrams, etc. I'd like to see it in the same vein as the 80's Jim Henson fantasy films.

Any of the lesser Disney films would make for great re-imaginings if the right amount of care and effort was put into them. I find it funny now how Disney refuses to acknowledge their flops from the past (Black Cauldron, Rescuers Down Under, etc.) to the point of pretending they never happened and yet they foam at the mouth at the first person to criticize their current bungling of Star Wars and have their paid shills insist that a turd is a hamburger.

Disney is great when they have the ambition and drive to take risks. It happens in cycles every decade or so. Unfortunately, it's currently another dry spell of lazy hackneyed shit that will probably be forgotten within the year.

The one exception to this is Tron. I don't know what the fuck Tron did to deserve a sequel.

Also no John Harris because he's dead.
 
So everyone should start placing their bets:

Who else is betting that there's going to be a "current year" line from John Oliver's Zazu? Or a not-so-subtle reference to pot brownies when Seth Rogan's Pumba eats a bug?

Movies make me want to be dead. /RedLetterMedia reference

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.

I saw the trailer and thought it looks good. The cgi, I mean. Lion king wasn't exactly my favorite Disney movie when I was younger, but I did like it.

I showed the trailer to one of my spawn, and he basically said "Oh. That looks... Would a monkey really hold a lion? Can we watch the Pokémon trailer again?" This movie will make a metric shit ton of money, but mostly from nostalgia alone. The rest will come from Kast Wuz Kangs n shit.
