Wow, the colors look so bland and boring. The Lion King should have a colorful and saturated color palette and this... doesn't have it. It's hard to know where to look, the animation makes them move like real animals, but they took out the little personality quirks like Simba swaying his head back and forth on the log. Scar looks like shit, he didn't need his mane removed, male lions do have different colored manes in the wild, and yes, his new VA is no Jeremy Irons, he's supposed to be scaring Simba into running away, not stating it matter-of-factly. Also James Earl Jones, phoning it in because he's probably too old for this shit now.

You know, you can go back to the 2005 Narnia movie and see how expressive they managed to make Aslan despite being, you know, a lion. You can tell what he's thinking when he's onscreen- his face, while subdued, shows plenty of emotions and none of them fell into the uncanny valley. He felt really alive, even though he was just a bunch of code. Not to mention this was achieved using 2005 CGI!

It blows my mind that we're in a time when CGI has never been better and the people behind this are a multi-billion dollar corporation, but they can't seem to get animators who could be assed to at least fucking widen baby Simba's eyes as Scar tells him to run.

Avatar showed that with effort you can make some beautiful cgi. As much as ppl call that film overrated.

Then you have the Beauty and the Beast remake which cost 160M (though some sites say closer to 200M-250M) to make but this was the best they could do with that budget:

The biggest question is:
Are they going to make Timon and Pumbaa a gay couple out of "respect" for Nathan Lane?
 
Let's play a game. It's called What Are These Characters Feeling?

Yep. That's a bird I guess.

723997


I guess this lion is angry-ish? Or it's just standing there with the default lion expression.


723999


Well that's definitely a baboon looking at something.

....And that's definitely a lion looking at something again with the default lion expression.

So creative. So hype. Clearly the most emotionally sincerest of Disney products that audiences can connect and relate to. Totally not a hollow waste of time and valuable money. No sir.
 
So, is there anyone out there who is defending this trite? I'd like to know what type of people they are, if generic Disney seals or Wakandians going on their Black Excellence fever dream.
 
It’s kinda hard to believe that this is the same team that made Jungle Book ‘16, that one, for all its faults was trying to be fun, as shown here

this feels like the Lion King equivalent of Gus Van Sant’s Psycho. I think part of it is that JB was originally based on a book and adapted from a 50+ year old movie, so they could take creative liberties by doing things like putting more emphasis on the wolves or making King Louie more monstrous.

Meanwhile, Lion King is only 25 years old and if the trailers are a good indication, this’ll just be the old story, but “more realistic”

The answer to all of them is "Dull surprise," right?
 
It doesn't help that all the lions look the same with very little color variations. In real life, there ARE distinguishing ways to tell lions apart. Some have different color patterns to their manes and some have completely different mane shapes and coat pigments.

You'd barely know Scar was Scar at all since his boring flat colors make his scar pretty hard to see unless you're focusing on it.
 
It has so little personality to it.

The original is very interesting to look at, the characters move in a way you get their personality imeaditely.

That's why cartoons shouldn't always try to go for realism

It’s genuinely disturbing how this trailer mostly got a positive reception. It really shows that Disney could film a literal piece of shit and make 2 billion dollars.

I am the furthest thing from some 'Fuck Normies" Poltard but the fact that these soulless, zero effort remakes both exist and make money hand over fist makes me want to scream.
 
So I may have been ninja'd with this, but ... Is anyone going to put money on Disney changing the ending to be woke as shit?

The original movie was all about borders and not letting certain animals into the Pridelands. Who's going to bet that the movie will end with Simba uniting the lionesses and the hyenas? HA, can you imagine? Take that, Drumpf!

I mean, I wouldn't put it past them at all. I'm flat-out expecting it, even. After all, they did change the ending to The Jungle Book in the 2016 remake, because why let Mowgli GROW UP? Let him be a mancub and party in the jungle forever with no responsibilities! #moviesformillennials

They already have that movie, it's Lion King II: Simba's Pride. Granted, they still didn't let in the hyenas, but they allowed in Scar's pride to unite the two families to be the happy ending of Romeo and Juliet. Also it's a better ending with a better message which should be just as important today as it was back in... pfft 2002 I think?

Fucking Disney, forgetting even their own stories.

Well, at least in The Lion King II, they had the decency to kill Andy Dick.
