If Naomi Scott isn't an obnoxious virtue signaler like Emma Watson I think it'll be toned down compared to Beauty and the Beast.

Somehow I ended up thinking of how insufferably woke a live action Princess and the Frog would be, though. The original made only one reference to how a poor black woman's restaurant probably won't be successful, because everyone understands that. In this day and age the film would have to stop every moment to remind viewers they're in the South before civil rights so everyone is racist. Also, the idea of a poor black person who wants to work hard and become successful is now problematic because meritocracy bad.

Sad how much things have declined over the last decade.

That would actually be pretty rad. Simba murders Nala’s father amid a blind rage, Nala goes insane and kills herself, Nala’s brother returns from some faraway land to get revenge and is manipulated by Scar into executing an ill-conceived public murder plot that goes awry and kills Simba, Scar, and everybody else.

Not as good as Timon And Pumbaa Are Dead.
 
Timon is extremely gay in this new Lion King remake. It looks like it's going to be like the psycho remake where everything is going to be just exactly the same as the original.
 
I still watch TV so I've seen some TV spots for the movie and they show that part on the log where Simba transitions from a kid to an adult, where in the original, he is very clearly tossing his head from side to side to the beat of the music and in this one, he ain't doing shit but singing and walking. Also watching that "Hakuna Matata" side by side comparison, I can't even see Simba's mouth moving in the remake.

I don't know why, but the animation for the remake is clearly lazy and badly done and the environments look boring. I want to blame the director because even some of the voice acting sounds like everyone phoning it in so far (except Seth Rogan, but he probably gives a damn and likes his role). Billy Eichner is also too gay and no Nathan Lane.

It's a cold, joyless technical demo that completely wastes the talent and effort of everyone involved.

I mean take a look at the Hakuna Mata sequence, how lifeless and drab it is. Animation is supposed to allow artists to surpass the limits of a physical medium, and these attempts to make a film look 'real' are ultimately self defeating.

But the thing though is that “real” lions can still fucking emote. 746FEB30-64ED-477D-B508-EF21AD9B8700.png 32ED1830-F7F8-46E4-8D56-C8BEBF55E820.jpeg 07A3DFD0-68BF-456B-913F-4E519C3080C4.jpeg
 
Normally I ignore reviews on anything from the AV Club but their reviewer of this film nails one of the problems I have with the movie, from the footage I've seen

It’s as if every creative decision were subordinate to the film’s misguided insistence on realism, on keeping the mannerisms and movements of these magically intelligent creatures “believable.” And so, all the pleasures are not just secondhand but diminished: We’re watching a hollow bastardization of a blockbuster, at once completely reliant on the audience’s pre-established affection for its predecessor and strangely determined to jettison much of what made it special. Even the vocal performances, delivered by Favreau’s high-profile celebrity cast, suffer by comparison, perhaps because the actors are forced to downshift to match the more narrow emotional spectrum of their digital avatars. This means, for example, that Ejiofor abandons all the campy relish Jeremy Irons brought to Scar, reducing the heavy to a single note of bitterness, while Jones dims the regal intensity like a stage actor who’s started to grow a little bored playing the same role night after night. Ultimately, only Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen, as slacker sidekicks Timon and Pumbaa, make much of an impression; their funny, possibly ad-libbed banter feels both fresh and true to the spirit of the characters—the perfect remake recipe. Just don’t look too hard at their character designs. They’re realistic, hideously.
