Basically the CGI animators at Disney want to put in 0 effort and make a ton of money while doing it. Like, they have to be deliberately lazy or hate cartoons to cut away all the exaggeration and expressiveness of animation and try to make a nature documentary.

Saw it three times, was going to go a fourth time but it was out of theaters by then

I think they put in effort. They just decided it looked uncanny to put realistic animals with the same unrealistic cinematography and backgrounds from the originals so they went the hyper realistic route.

>Godzilla flops despite being a great tribute with a ton of heart and soul

It'll be the first live action remake that's as good as the original. You know, since the original was trash.

be careful with that meme. its an antique

>Saw it twice.
Me too! I loved it.

I ended up looking at the animated one more cause it looked more interesting

I really can't see the point in this. Animation allows for practically unlimited reality, but they did nothing with this sequence. Simba goes left, Pumba goes right. Pumba goes left, Simba goes right. Timone jumps off Pumba, scampers forward a bit, then jumps back on. Presenting the story as a Broadway-style musical means you can get fanciful with a musical number. But there's no reason for them to even sing. How did nobody at Disney come to the realization that this is a terrible idea?

But it's not a terrible idea, people aren't quite sick if these remakes yet so it's free money.

Why put real time and effort in when you get paid the same either way?

The movie will definitely do well on name alone, but this still looks like a ridiculously expensive movie to make.

From what I've read, it has a shot at Best Animated just on it's incredible technical merits.
It's said to make Jungle Book look like amateur shit.

Anyone else hate that disney is making nothing but live action movies nowadays? I wish they'd make more 2D films, but I guess 3D is cheaper to produce

i just wrote this from the heart

Alita is very suspect though, after the whole dumb campaign that blew on their faces. The rest are okay however, but as of lately this pattern has been happening, a true disconnect between audience and critics due to an overwhelmingly bland Summer season with remakes and movies nobody wanted to see (MIB, Hellboy, etc).

They turned Alita into some lame YA shit like Maze Runner.
It was probably my biggest movie disappointment in the last 10 years, but only because I haven't given a single fuck about Star Wars in decades.

Yeah, it was as crappy as many other movies that have come out lately that were chasing the Marvel money. But unlike the MCU, they don't have the support of a multi-movie franchise so they're pretty forgettable and bland on their own, resulting in a poor cinema experience.
Like I remember how many in here were claiming Detective Pikachu was gonna give Endgame a run for its money, and barely a month or so later, absolutely no one is talking about it here. The discussion barely lasted a week if at all.

>disney live-action remake
Only onions-chuggers care about these.

You can really see the "single episode of Game of Thrones" budget that went into it.

Alita wasn't chasing Marvel anything; Shazam! was chasing Marvel, or at least trying to flirt with Ant-Man level money.
Alita started out as an idea that Cameron no longer wanted to follow up on, but had promised forever so felt obligated to produce something.
And it sure was "something". It was a "violent" dystopian tragedy with all the grit and intensity of the original Willy Wonka movie.

>What campaign?
Oh let's not pretend you don't know what I'm talking about: the "Go see Alita instead of Captain Marvel" campaign a bunch of comicsgaters and alt-right personalities launched to supposedly prop up the sales, which not only went nowhere but got more people calling out the movie for how mediocre it was.
>There was one against Alita, and still is.
No there wasn't, if anything it had a severely astroturfed word of mouth that, again, went nowhere, with people like James Woods and Mike Cermovich trying to get their follower base to go see it, didn't work.
>I don't understand that line of argumentation. Only movies with are a multi-movie franchise are worth watching?
That's definitely not what I was saying, I was talking about the current summer fatigue that has caused a lot of blockbusters that aren't MCU fail or underperform at the box office for varied reasons. I can definitely tell you're invested in defending Alita and I won't stop you, that's your deal, but don't worry, I'm not comparing it to any MCU movie, its failures are by its own making, already outlined here by which actually pointed out how Cameron basically did this out of obligation with himself, not real interest.

He's clearly not inside so he is being asked to get in. Like you wouldn't want to pull up next to somebody, roll down the window and say, "Do you have any Grey Poupon, my nigga Jesus ate all that shit."

Maybe it's because I'm so accustomed to Donald Glover's voice already but it feels like there's a huge disconnect between his voice and the lion's mouth/size. My brain can't reconcile it.

Why spend a quarter of a billion dollars to create lifelike simulacra of jungle animals to sing Broadway bops? If it has to be remade, why not just make a movie version of the Broadway play, with the elaborate costumes, and save yourself hundreds of millions of dollars?

You're not the only one.

You can barely fucking tell any of the animals are actually talking. It looks like someone behind a rock is projecting to the animals. It's so bad. I think it's because they don't express and you can barely see their mouths move.

>Alita is for alt right
I avoided that movie for the googly eyes and i still knew some people were agrainst it

>Why spend a quarter of a billion dollars to create lifelike simulacra of jungle animals to sing Broadway bops?
Because it will make close to three times that amount user

It's The Lion King. It's going to make money regardless, so surely there's a cheaper way that doesn't involve faceplanting into the Uncanny Valley.

Everyone I know who saw it loved it. The problem was because we live in an RT world, very few people saw it because RT told them not to and it didn’t have Disney label on it.

But seriously Godzilla gets better every time you watch it

Dude, this movie a glorified tech demo.

>tfw its going to be consigned to history like Jame's Cameron's avatar

Nah, there was and is a media bias against Alita. Everything not woke enough is being attacked and using terms like 'alt-right' is one way to do it: youtube.com/watch?v=7a3iMo7Om9M
They tried it with Shaft as well, but he's black and they changed the system at Rotten Tomatoes, so now the audience is verified and they can't lie anymore.

>Unfolding like the world’s longest and least convincing deepfake, Jon Favreau’s (almost) photorealistic remake of “The Lion King” is meant to represent the next step in Disney’s circle of life. Instead, this soulless chimera of a film comes off as little more than a glorified tech demo from a greedy conglomerate — a well-rendered but creatively bankrupt self-portrait of a movie studio eating its own tail.

>Most often, the animation is just bland in a way that saps the characters of their personalities. Scar used to be a Shakespearian villain brimming with catty rage and closeted frustration; now, he’s just a lion who sounds like Chiwetel Ejiofor. Simba used to be a sleek upstart whose regal heritage was tempered by youthful insecurity; now he’s just a lion who sounds like Donald Glover.

Why are critics turning on Disney? Or is this their allotted film they are allowed to criticize to look more even handed to the sheeple?

Jungle Book is alright. Not sure how they got Lion King wrong after that, considering it's the same basic concept.

I was until I heard Donald Glover's voice. Who in t he fuck decided he was able to do showtunes? Dude can hardly stop squeaking/stressing his vocals on his own rap tracks. This shit was definitely not his wheelhouse. Be Prepared is like the best rendition. I'm curious to see this just for Chit...chitl...Chinatel E--the guy that plays him.

Oh definitely not. Timon comes off like a mincing tryhard than actually having any shred of charisma. What a shame. He exasperates me while Rogan's more laid back delivery is where the comedy comes from even when he's making mundane comments. Completely mismatched.

Chiwetel, you absolute dunce.

Maybe they just don't like this one.

Thanks, user.

Just why.

When will Disney start remaking the Muppet movies? I feel like all those dated effects in the Jim era could use a little digital enhancing.

>The Lion King is, you’ll recall, the tale of a band of ugly ingrates and malcontents whose class resentment causes them to upend the social order at the urging of a hateful, self-serving demagogue. Scar (Chiwetel Ejiofor) seizes power like Lenin, via murder and treachery, and seeks to maintain it by making redistributionist noises to sucker the poor. He calls for a “coup,” then declares, “From now on, the hyenas eat first.” This is where Bill de Blasio, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez leap to their feet and cheer. Bad news, comrades: Scar is as worthy of your admiration as most of your other heroes. Later he lets slip that he despises the hyena-proletarian class that is his political base, and plans a bit of mass murder, like most other regicidal revolutionaries. The hyenas are not his constituency but simply the weapons with which he achieves power. Not that the their demands should be given undue weight: “A hyena’s belly is never full,” we are told, by way of warning about what happens when you pander to the slavering hordes.

>seizes power like Lenin
Fun fact, Lenin was a USA agent, send there to destabilise Russia.

>This is where Bill de Blasio, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez leap to their feet and cheer.
Not really, at least for Bernie. He know BS when he see it. And he has called out Democrats many time for pretending to be on the side of the poor while actually serving the corporations.

This. Why the fuck do we let comicsgate remake anything these days?

Blessed oldfag of yore

Dear god. He's not even trying, fuck you Oliver.

The kids are alright.

Godzilla was great fun but almost every single aspect that didn't concern monsters punching each other was either bland drama or a cringe attempt to be hip and cool (mostly the comedy bits), and thus there's nothing wrong with pointing out the movie isn't a perfectly oiled machine

Of course they're not the harbingers of truth but at the same time it's not the critics' fault if you interpret everything as a vicious attack, sometimes a movie just deserves some bad words - it's not a boycott

So he's a terrible political comedic talk host commentator and singer? Can this limey do anything right?

Ah, fuck it. It was yet another retarded YT recommendation.

He's concentrating on maintaining his fake british accent so he can't focus on singing. He's really just a jew from New York who adopted a fake British accent so Americans would assume he's smart or something. That's the only explanation for why his accent is so atrocious.

Because Simba has the highest potential in their world but he is not only not living up to it but makes it so his kingdom dies in the process and all because facing his emotions was too painful for him, kind of a good message desu. I do wonder what we are fucking up sitting here but of course being the biggest cat with royal history is a clearer path than being one of the billions bald monkeys with potential that ranges from that of a seashell to one of a god. I guess for us it's doing small things that we consider right day by day in pursuit of destiny rather than looking for a clear story.

Is this an episode where they try to pretend Scott Mendelson isn't the most obnoxious Disney shill on the face of the earth?

He is a Bong, but the Bongs couldn't stand him.
Chances are he's using some form of received pronunciation because his actual accent isn't Bong enough, and that's what causes the strain.
It's an issue a lot of southern Bong actors have if they take shortcuts to fame

Disney fagots are the absolute worst on the planet user. They will fucking see just about anything they shit out, specially if it's based of le 90's film I grew up with.

I am still mad at Critics for shitting on Godzilla but I will at least enjoy some shadenfreud if they sink The Lion King too. It looks terrible and I am glad that people aren't letting it slide for once just because it's a Disney film.

This is what happens when you remake the Lion King with the goal of "realism." You suck all the color and fantasy out of it and turn it into something bland and sterile. I don't see how kids could possibly enjoy this movie when it is so fucking dull looking.

So it's just a meme?

Animation is inherently disarming which is why it works so wonderfully. Putting people in a stylized world of fantasy lets them suspend their disbelief in ways they can't with rigid realism.

Autistic kids love cartoons and often relate to them more than they can real people, and a lot of animators are on the autism spectrum. This movie is so lifeless and sterile not even the normies are going to be able to read the characters.

And here's a fun fact: real life cats don't have eyebrow muscles. To make an animated cat expressive you have to cheat in that regard, which is what they do in most cartoons including the original Lion King. Disney couldn't afford to cheat with the Lion King remake though because they wanted so badly for it to look like a live action nature documentary, so what we're left with is boring and uninspired "character designs" and utterly lifeless looking animations.

They had to fill up that extra 30 minutes with something.

Disney has done long term damage to the credibility of the entertainment press and they're finally starting to crack.

disney just HAS to know this movie is gonna shit. what's their endgame?

No. That's a common misconception.

And in regards to public domain, it takes 100 years for something to enter public domain, and it's only the original version of whatever it is. Not only that, but restored and preserved versions of it can still have new copyrights placed on them. So for example, in 2077 when Star Wars becomes public domain, it will only be for the first movie, so Disney will still own Lando Calrissian and Boba Fett until Empire Strikes Back becomes public domain, and so on and so forth.

Aslan from the Narnia films had way more soul than any of the lions in this movie, because they weren't aiming for perfect photorealism with him. He needed to look like a king and a god so that's what they went for.

Nah, he's just being allowed a little room to walk around before they yank it again.
If he's never let out of the kennel it becomes (more) blatant he's being paid off.

The Lion King was at 58% with 77 reviews and the movie is still a week away from release, and this is only from the access media. When everyone else watches it, I predict the score can only go down because Disney can't protect it at that point.

Maybe the verified ratings will save them but I really don't see how even the most NPC of parents could give this movie a pass if their kids fall asleep during it. It has none of the magic or fantasy of the original, it's 30 minutes longer, and it's going to acquaint a brand new audience with the concept of uncanny valley.

wheres the facial expressions?

They will definitely yank the chain on Mendelson again, but they chose the wrong movie to loosen their grip with. The Lion King was supposed to be too big to fail but clearly the critics hate it.

If the LA times debacle is any indication, they don't precisely pay critics so much as coerce them via early screening passes.
Given their near monopoly on the industry right now, an independent or small time critic is fucked without one, and rags that hacks like Mendelson work for don't grasp what the term ethics means, and wouldn't give a shit if they did.

Why do people obsess over Be Prepared so much, it's a really underwhelming song. He's not even singing, he's just talking.

By the way, I read the junior novelization, and they don't dress in drag and do the hula to distract the hyenas. Instead, Pumbaa is still propped up and used as bait, but Timon acts as an auctioneer instead. I should have taken a picture to get an exact quote, but part of the original song is still used, though obviously it's not sung.

>silly voices
Not really silly voices (because they're just using their regular voices) but also, just not letting the audience collect what was just said whether it be by pacing of the shots or the delivery.
A good example is what RLM said about the new Ghostbusters. They're not giving the audience enough time to appreciate a joke before they move on and everything feels rushed and you don't have time to appreciate any of the jokes.

>everything feels rushed and you don't have time to appreciate any of the jokes
In case of Ghostbusters, that also feels like they don't want you to realize how shitty the jokes are, so they just bury you with them.

So I’m guessing there won’t be any testicles or buttholes,right? Because adult male lions have HUGE FUCKING SWINGING balls.

Shitty jokes or good jokes aside, if you rush a joke or mess with it's pacing, it just screws up the joke altogether.
They completely got rid of Timon saying "No, that's a terrible idea" which told the audience he heard what Pumbaa said and wants to take credit for Pumbaa's great idea. That line helps the audience see what Timon is doing and that, along with the success, makes it funnier.
In the new version, it's just
Pumbaa: "...he'll be on our side"
Quick cut to Timon: "I've got it. What if he's on our side HEAR ME OUT"
It just feels like he's not listening and the emphasis is misplaced on the "hear me out" instead of the actual joke.

Because of the awesome green smoke and the chanting and the hyenas giving the sieg heil

And this is the part where we can all laugh together at Disney's shortsightedness regarding the Lion King remake: merchandising. The animas are so realistic that there is absolutely nothing trademarkable about any of them. Every child when I was a kid wanted Lion King plush toys and action figures. They had unique character designs and were all instantly recognizeable. There is absolutely nothing to distinguish a "live action" Simba plush toy from an unlicensed lion cub plush from any other manufacturer.

If you gave this plush toy to a child and told them it was "live action" Simba or Nala, how would they be able to tell the difference? You sure as hell always recognized Simba or Nala plush dolls in the 90s though. They actually had distinct character designs and color patterns that Disney held a pretty solid claim to a trademark on, because they were not aiming for perfect photo realism back then.

I genuinely hope LK bombs - because if it does it might finally be the push Disney needs to fire Iger and end this nightmare of shitty live-action remakes.

Worst part is that they cut down the length. I could have enjoyed the instrumental accompaniment, but they decided to shorten it for no god-damn reason. Or maybe they did it to try and 'hide' the fact that the actor for Scar can't sing worth shit.

Aladdin made a billion dollars because Disney pushed that shit HARD in the Asian market. Asian countries account for almost HALF of Aladdin's box office earnings. Domestically, Aladdin's made less in the last SEVEN weeks than Toy Story 4's made in the last THREE.

Fun fact, that's why the reviews for games are fucked, too.
If you review a company's games favorably, they invite you to prerelease events, send you merch, fly you to Japan for all-expenses paid trips to play demos, etc.
If you tend to review games a little too critically for their liking, you get left out, which also means other reviewers are getting their reviews out sooner than you.

It's not really """corrupt""" for a company to only want to invite people that like their stuff, but it's definitely a nasty side effect that people are going to want to brown nose so they can get invited to things and get a bunch of free goodies.

That's because they weren't striving for 100% realism with Aslan. They got close but stopped short intentionally, because they needed the freedom to make his mouth articulate, and for his eyes to be expressive like a human's.

I dont understand where they thought "Realism" meant to take away the emoting, like that part is totally mind boggling, like they're recreating an animated movie based on Hamlet but with talking animals, but EMOTING is where they draw the line

Their goal was to create the illusion of live action and they were unwilling to cut any corners for the sake of sterilization and expression. And the irony is that they failed anyway because you can still tell that it's CG.

The illusion of live action is broken the moment a monkey holds up a lion in front of a crowd of animals, I truly cant understand their line of thinking

Their line of thinking was "lookit how much money Jungle Book made. What else can we remake in this style?"

how would a disney robin hood remake play out?

Not him, but it's just immersion breaking. Never in my life have I enjoyed watching animals flap their jaws in any movie. Normies are still going to eat this shit up, though.

Other than Homecoming, I hated everything Donald Glover made since he left Community and Derrick Comedy.

Seriously, he should stop being a pretentious asshole and start going back to doing actual comedy. Leave the woke shit to actual black activists like Boots Riley.

Am I the only one?

Why didn't Favreau make The Lion Man or The Iron King instead?

Goddamn man, same exact feeling. I found a video the other day that I took from like 10 years ago at a Gambino concert where he did like 45 min of comedy then 45 minutes of rapping. It was the best shit and he was hilarious, but it made me miss that Donald Glover who did a 20 minute fart joke about meeting himself from the future instead of budget friendly art house Donald Glover that we have now

>Boots Riley
Sorry to Bother You was so much better than what I was expecting it to be.

It's a better Black Mirror episode than most Black Mirror episodes.

Did the Hyenas do anything in this one like the original comedic Trio?

It would be nice, but let's be real here; it won't. Every LA film except Dumbo sold gangbusters, and even if the normie audiences suddenly decides to hate the movie and not see it, the foreign market will more than make up for it because their standards are nonexistent.

I want it to fail horribly as much as everyone else here as proof there's some justice in this cruel world, but the chances of that actually happening are astronomically slim.

This is your fault, Yea Forums.

Animated is better.

It made a billion?! Jesus.
Here I was asking myself why Guy Ritchie makes this shitty ass kind of movies lately. I guess there's my answer.

It is still animated tho.
Here is a thing, everyone should stop calling this live action remake. It's not live action, none character from this movie is real. It's still animated movie, sure with a hyper realistic cgi artstyle that is completely different from the original movie, but in the end it's still an animated movie.

That Jungle Book ending was obviously meant as a set-up for a sequel so they can do "Going to the Man Village and coming into conflict with Buldeo" as a storyline.

>It's not live action, none character from this movie is real
You don't know that though, there might be a good amount of real backgrounds used in the movie and, after all, they did model every character on real animals, so while it is a largely animated movie, it's has a fair amount of live action going on.
I believe the real distinction for "live action" is whether it uses live actors or not, in the end.

> Pic related
Well it's a lion I guess.

Literal, actual live action anime not seen since the Speed Racer movie!

I thought that poster was featuring scar because of the lighting...

>implying that the Robin Hood remake wouldn't just be a bunch of fursuits

>implying that they would actually be animals

>implying they'd remake Robin Hood at all

I just looked it up... none of the trailers talk about the half horse people what the fuck

As a comparison, Dinosaur(2000) is considered part of the animated canon and consists of CG animation on live action backgrounds.

That's like saying cancer is better than aids.

>the lion equivalent of Soros has his song cut from the live action remake

Hmmmmmmm, it's almost as if they don't want to negatively (i.e. accurately) portray their masters

This is what happens when celebrities are only allowed to voice act. Everyone whines about no name actors when some celebrities don't know shit about voice acting either.

The Jungle Book pissed me off particularly bad. It was one of my favorite books growing up, I love the animated Disney version and the Chuck Jones short and I absolutely loathe the fact that the remake took a giant dump on Mowlgi's entire character arc of growing up and accepting his place in the world.

>Domestically, Aladdin's made less in the last SEVEN weeks than Toy Story 4's made in the last THREE.
Which would be hilarious if they weren't both Disney properties. This is the real problem when a studio starts buying up 50-60% of the market - it stops mattering what movies succeed and fail because it's all going to the same fuckers.

Why didn't Disney just retell the Lion King story with actual live action humans? Is it because Disney has no faith in a black-led film that isn't a superhero movie?

>blacks are animals
REEEEEEEEEEEEE

Westeners love photo realistic CGI over anything else, what's the problem now?

Get ready for all the Nazi symbolism to be totally absent from the remake

I think they already made a film of Hamlet.

Get ready for Simba to realize the monarchy's oppression of the hyenas was racist and to open the borders of the Pride Lands

The kids are pretty damn good. Fuck John Oliver, though.

So goddamn soulless

Ranked better than Aladdin.

My Internets. Take them.

I didn't see Missing Link because it looked fucking stupid - especially compared to other Laika films like Paranorman and Kubo. I'm not going to see Lion King because it looks fucking stupid - especially compared to the original.

I'm not going to pay for one bad film just to stick it to the makers of another bad film.

If these remakes keep making money Disney will stop at nothing.

I wonder how much money Disney could have saved filming actual locations for Lion King instead of using CG?

Jesus, can you imagine how bad the rest of the movie will look too?
I imagine Be Prepared is just gonna be Scar in a dark cave talking to a handful of hyena's instead of the whole world around him just cracking and pillars rising out of the ground while a whole army of hyena's goose step.

Just a reminder that Lilo and Stitch is going to be next.
Disney's going to keep pumping out these garbage remakes until the only one they haven't done is Black Cauldron.

If they have to remake RH I hope they don't go the psuedorealistic route.

pretty "hyped" for this thread to die

Enough time will have passed that 4D virtual reality technology will exist, and all films will be remade in that medium.

That would actually be based. Eilonwy best princess... oh no, they're gonna get Leslie Jones to play her aren't they.

I’m done.
I’ve been done since The Jungle Book remake.

They're already announced a Chronicles of Prydain live action film.

>We've had 60 years to learn nobody cares about the shitty human drama but we keep doing it anyway
>w-why didn't we break a box office record?
Going to go out on a limb and say Godzilla has always been mediocre with a few crystals of crack cocaine good monster lore.

Nah, if they were doing the sequel they'd need to stray from the 1st movie and actually fill us in on who Kovu's father was and/or introduce Zira in this film.

Prepared for disappointment, maybe.

It's better because it looks more real.

At least BC is one of those nice movies that could benefit from having remakes that try to fix the problems with the originals. Same thing with stuff like Atlantis The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet.

What went right?

Attached: Unknown.jpg (184x274, 10K)

Treasure Planet might actually benefit from either CGI or irl acting. These current choices really do not, especially with animals as they were designed from the ground up to be fantastical 2D things. You can get real actors to emote and act, but you're never gonna get a human expression out of a realistic animal like you can a cartoon one without it looking like shit.

Bill muray as a bear can sing unlike donald glover as lion.
Also, the original movie never really had a plot but was very character driven instead so they just gave this one a plot.
They ruined the story of the original lion king (to my understanding)

Attached: 44.gif (344x426, 714K)

They don't even mention the hyenas. The last time they did was to tell us Shenzi's sidekicks will now have african names.

Because that's the big twist and it's where the film jumps into absurdity to finalize its points about dehumanization and flagrant abuse of the rights of the people by large corporations.

Also it's fucking hysterical, why would you spoil that?

5 bucks says they'll do the sequel, shot for shot, nonexistent Zira's origin and editted death scene still in place.

I suspect none of the new voice actors actually even saw the original Lion King, so they have nothing to base their performances on except their own interpretations of the characters. That never ends well.

Disney, you fools. Merch was half your hustle.

>right
It was terrible and completely betrayed the entire fucking point of the story.

Now, I could have seen them going "oh, Zootopia made so much money, let's redo Robin Hood in that style" and I'd actually be pretty OK with it, but that's not how Disney thinks. They marketed The Lion King as a live action movie so it had to be hyper realistic-- it's supposed to have visual continuity with The Jungle Book remake, another animated film. If they wanted to remake Robin Hood they would probably be cashing in on the trend of live action remakes so I doubt they would try and make it look like Zootopia.

And the real irony is that Zootopia was inspired by Robin Hood and Lion King. Disney almost wrote Zootopia off due to its production problems and yet it made a billion dollars. Meanwhile, they were expecting a billion dollars from The Lion King remake and I wouldn't be surprised if it makes less than half of that with the way people are reacting to it.

That's a generic lion plush off of google, not an official piece of merchandise. The point is that any merch Disney makes for this movie is pretty much interchangeable with generic lion merchandise because there is nothing unique or trademarkable about the characters like there was with the original.
