100% computer animated

Didn't Dinosaur (2000) use filmed backgrounds? I wonder why that one is considered an animated film and this isn't.

Because it's marketed towards nostalgia loving millennial who otherwise wouldn't go see an animated remake of Lion King or Aladdin. 20-35 year olds old enough to have nostalgia for the Disney Renaissance films, but not young enough that they'll go see a cartoon on Friday night.

The difference is that Dinosaur was meant to be the big coming out of The Secret Lab, Disney's VFX-house-cum-animation-studio that was meant to revolutionize the industry except it didn't, while the Lion King is just another in Disney's line of live action remakes, just one that can't be made without being basically entirely CGI.

How much of Avatar was filmed vs animated?

How much of Bedknobs And Broomsitcks? Mary Poppins?

The difference is that something like Infinity War has tons and tons of shots where the live-action elements are the emphasis (or sometimes even the only things in the scene), while Lion King has no live-action, and certainly not as the central focus of the scene.

Thing is, Dinosaur is officially part of the Disney animated canon alongside all the 2D and 3DCG films by the Disney studio. The UK version of the canon swapped it out for The Wild for some reason.

Not sure about Avatar but I think the latter two were always marketed as live-action/animation hybrids, could be wrong on that though.

>Infinity War has tons and tons of shots where the live-action elements are the emphasis
And it also has ENTIRE SCENES that are 100% animated.

>Lion King has no live-action
Sure, but is that your cut-off? Because the second link was to the vfx reel for Jungle Book which is all animated except for Mogli. The backgrounds, the environments, the other characters, ect.

For some reason the 100% animated scenes in Avengers are "digital vfx" where the 100% animated scenes in Lion King are "digital animation."

It's not nearly as black an white as your autism wants it to be.
