DISNEY Classics Live-Action Remakes - Upcoming: Snow White, Mufasa, Lilo&Stitch, Moana...

I wished they at least added some difference to the story like The Jungle Book, but I'll probably like the movie regardless of what critics think.

 

[blastercombo]

Think of this as an HD remake that left off some things for DLC

So is it “bad”? I mean if you want the lion king, you’re getting lion king.

Literally not even entertaining that RT score. I know exactly what I'm getting into when seeing this next Thursday.

I think doing this movie would have been difficult no matter what direction they went. Shot for shot remake doesn't bring anything new but doesn't upset OG fans who want to see this classic brought to life again.

Realistic animals look great but don't give the heart or emotion of the cartoon.

I still plan to see it opening weekend and forming my own opinion.

Exactly. I'm seeing it next Thursday right after work.

I remember reading the reviews for Aladdin and thinking “wtf are they talking about”. Some of the negative reviews were things like: they didn’t develop Aladdin’s story too well.

Dude it’s a ******* remake of a cartoon. It’s assumed you know who Aladdin is.

Anyhow I think The Lion King will do Avengers numbers. Even though it was a copy of a Japanese cartoon

 

[IATT]

ameL if you going do it, gotta do it right

 

[Hahahaha]

See, why can’t the scene be the same? They can’t make it do all that **** too?

Cot damn, CGI looks like buns. CGI Simba looking like he has some nasty AF 'Sour Patch' or 'Sour Skittles' in his mouth while singing.

All Disney's gotta do is put out a 4K 'remaster' of the OG with Dolby Atmos or whatever and call it day.

 

[blastercombo]

Real animals on the screen with windows 95 mouth movements

 

[danger style]

This is what E everysingletime wanted. The Beyoncé show

Also, Billy Eichners Timon is TRASH

Thats been out. Im bouta put it sometime this weekend

Uncanny valley, straight up...They got the CGI to look too real here to the point that making them dance and sing just looks off...

 

[danger style]

Listened to all the big songs. They all sound like emotionless, karaoke versions of the originals. Its the same problem they've been having with all the remakes.

Even the instrumental arrangements feel lifeless compared to the original.

As it turns out, 2d animation bring something that can't be captured through photo realism.

who'd a thunk it?

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Photo realistic Disney remakes are the ultimate case of hustling backwards.

They could've at least made the eyes bigger or the expressions more exaggerated.

 

[everysingletime]

It's not wrong to make a photo realistic movie of the lion king

But Jon Favreau was probably the wrong director for the job.

 

[kvsm23vs24]

Agree with everysingletime.

POTA had them emoting and it looked dope.

These guys just running around and seems like the music is background music and not the animals singing.

They're making lots of money at the box office though. So even if the critics are iffy on these live-action/photo-realistic remakes, Disney will keep making them.
