Lion King 2019

The voice acting was god awful, everyone except Timon, Pumba and Sarabi sounds like they're reading an essay.
James Earl Jones was especially bad.
Scar was dogshit compared to Irons but gave the best performance.
Young Simba, adult Simba and adult Nala all sounded very black. "Get your hands off my mutha!"

They mention that hyena and lion have been at war since thecdawn of time. It's all fucking dumb.

What's the best/worst part of the film?

Did they ruin Timon and Pumbaa?

How about Zazu?

If the emotional scenes and Be Prepared are shortened, and there are no story changes, how the hell is this 30 minute longer than the original?

Oh, there are good hyenas, they just weren't interested in regicide and mooching off widows. Imagine that.

Wait what? It actually is. In their version of Be prepared, Scar actually mention the existence of a regulation of meat hunting and how Scar will put an end to it for the Hyena. That imply the over-hunt deplete the kingdom's resources.

Worst is Mufasa's death I think. The way he falls down looks like a rag doll. No wait, the voice acting is the worst, it's legit one of thevworst I've heard. They also played a shitty pop song when Simba runs back to the pride lands.

Best, hmm, they had a running joke about a hyena getting into someobe else's private space. Pretty much the obly thing I liked now that I think about it.

Performances are worse, other than that they're pretty much the same. Instead of Timon doing the hula they start singing Be our guest until the hyenas start chasing them.

God awful

They add a bunch if useless scenes. Nala sneaking out of the pride lands to get help is several minutes long . They also add a bunch of extraneous dialogue to scenes.

Must have missed that. Sorry

Nala: Simba?

Simba: Nala?!

Nala: *tackle* Look, you gotta come back. That asshole uncle of yours went and fucked EVERYTHING up!!

Simba: Nala, I can't go back.

Nala: Wait, what? WHY?!

Timon: He's our circle-jerk pivot-man!

Pumbaa: Yup!

Nala: ...huh? You...DEVIANTS stay out of this!!! What are they talking about?

Simba: It doesn't matter.

Nala: You HAVE to. *eyes cross, left eye blinks randomly* Jesus came and said it's a tax-free wekend, except for the computers, so I got mad, and we started shouting, then I tore his throat out with my teeth-

Simba: Nala, WHAT?

Nala: And I'm scared, cuz I'm telling you I stabbed that ukranian guy, and if I pass now, I'm gonna see him on the other side!

Simba: Wow...things MUST be bad. Ok, I'll come back.

Voice acting is bad, Oliver is not a good singer and since the animals are meant to be realistic we see a bird open it's beak and it looks like someone behind the camera was talking. At least the lions can kinda move their mouths. A beak can obly open and close

based narnia chad

Don't even have to use Narnia. The Jungle Book remake(by Favreau as well) had animals that emoted. But with the Lion King, he specifically said that he "wanted to make it feel like a safari"

does eric andre's character get more than 2 lines in the movie?

The songs are all for the worse and as I mentioned they added that shitty pop song, Spirit I think it was called.
The score was pretty much thecsame with some changes. The music during the stampede had the most changes, all for the worse which sucks since the original is so good. In this one it sounded like every ten seconds they took out 15 seconds of music. It was a bit jarring.

He has maybe 7 lines. He's the hyena I mentioned that intrudes on personal space.

they should have put this kino remix in
also the whole 2019 soundtrack is on youtube if you care to hear it

Does new Shenzi hold a candle to Whoopi's performance? Also, since realism is a thing in this one, did they make her larger than her sidekicks?

>Also, since realism is a thing in this one, did they make her larger than her sidekicks?
Come on, user, we all know that's not the question you wanted to ask.

Whoopi had more range in her performance I guess. I mentioned it before but it sounds like everyone in this movie is reading from an essay. You won't believe it until you see it.
This one they tried to add some background to her. Mufass knew her by name and stuff like that. I didn't think about the size.

Good taste. Been jamming to that today.

Did the audience laugh at Mufasa's fall because I sure did

How were Eichner and Rogen

No laughs but I genuinrly thought it was gunny.

Good banter, dialogue wise Timon was funnier in this one but ghe perfornances are worse than the original. They sounded bad ob Can you feel the love but good on In the jungle.

Btw In the jungle is basically a full number with other animals joining in.

ou know how in the original, Rafiki grabs the wind-driven flower petals and realizes that Simba is alive?
>Well in the remake, a tuft of Simba's hair is carried by the wind, a couple of birds, eaten by a giraffe, shat out, turned into a poo ball for a rhino beetle, the poo ball breaks and the hair is picked up by an ant, and that ant just so happens to be part of a colony that leads to Rafiki's tree.

That's actually pretty good. Big improvement there.

>They also played a shitty pop song when Simba runs back to the pride lands.
God that was so stupid.
They also should've used "He Lives in You" as the outro song. I mean they did a version for the new soundtrack with Lebo M. They just never used it in the movie.

Simba grew up with more animals than just Timon and Pumba alone for some real reason. Like some kind of a strange hippy commune.
There was a Bat-eaed fox, some gazelle and one of these weird monkeys with these huge eyes, I forgot their name.

Did they keep the Third Reich imagery in Be Prepared?

Hakuna matata?

I can't decide if this is a good thing because less furries, or a bad thing because that was just some good shit.
Oh well who cares, they're starting to realize that no one wants this shit.

Her entire screentime when she found Simba was awkwardly shortened.
Also, yeah her weird eye scene got cut

Seeing how they butcher the song, I doubt it.

Do you think it'll make a lot of money or will the negative critic reactions cause audiences to avoid it?

No, the sequence itself is super short too. The original song was like three minutes long, almost all of which was actual singing by Jeremy Irons. The new one is about... I wanna say 90 seconds tops and there's absolutely no actual singing in it, it's all that "speak-singing" bullshit where it's just 'guy-who-played Mordo in Doctor Strange' reading the lines out in an angry voice while loud music plays over it.

youtube.com/watch?v=BjsVRIqOhGA

Then WHY would they agree to a plan that could be just one big sting?

That's actually not bad, very Circle of Life.

It'll make a billion dollars, user.

Soccer moms don't care about good reviews or bad reviews, they don't care about faithful adaptations or unfaithful adaptations, they don't care about entertaining or shit. All they know is there's a Disney movie out and if they drop all their kids off to go see it they'll have two hours to go get a massage or a drink or fuck the gardener or something.

simply listen to the 2019 Be prepared song on youtube. He promises them he will lift the hunt restriction Mufasa put so that the mighty (implying the Hyena) can always have food.

Well, beats the subliminal SEX pollen.

GREETINGS, FELLOW HYENAS! THAT SURE IS A NICE SCAVENGING PARTY YOU'RE HAVING. SAY, WHO WANTS TO ASSASSINATE THE RIGHTFUL KING?

I dunno - I liked that in the original it was more implied that the familiar scent and absent-mindedly reenacting the breaking of the fruit triggered a powerful memory. Now he's literally just looking at a shit-covered piece of hair and going HE'S ALIVE!!!

It comes across less as a wise sage with a deep connection to the character and more like a crazy homeless person in a back alley.

Yeah. Rafiki is SUPPOSED to be semi-magical, that's the whole point of his role.

It gets worse - they basically remove Rafiki's entire speech about the past, how it can be painful, but you can either run from your bad experiences or learn from them.

You remember - the fucking thesis of the entire film?

Jesus, there's no fucking emotion in any of this.

>No Mufasa's look of abject terror at the betrayal
>No look of horror from Simba at the brutal death of his father
Mufasa doesn't emote. Scar doesn't emote. Simba looks like a kitten meowing at the edge of a table.

It's ironic, I honestly haven't given Lion King much thought as an adult beyond being a movie I liked when I was a kid. But hot damn, the lifelessness of this remake is giving me a whole new level of appreciation for it.

I rewatched it a coupled months ago and I was amazed at just how well it holds up - even without bullshit qualifiers like "for an animated film" or "for a kid's film". It's just a great film.

Dare I ask how they handled "I Just Can't Wait To Be King"?

When the fuck will Disney realize we don’t care about the live action shit? At LEAST Mulan will be more of a Maleficent kind of deal, as in the story is actually different and more accurate the the original story, which could fit the tone well, but still, I’m not hold my breath.

Not good. Also they did this for some reason, which completely changed the pace of the "Grub scene" in the song

Attacking random animators just trying to please their corporate overlords so they can feed their children won't solve anything.

literally soul vs souless
twitter.com/RichardULZ/status/1149130154767048704

With 300,000 people you could easily get ever single person from middle management all the way up the ceo's and board of directors. Just make Disney stop existing as an entity.

Obviously you couldn't even get like, eight people who care engorge to do this, much less the needed several thousand. So we are doomed to live action remakes forever until enough people die of starvation to no longer be able to support the infrastructure needed to make and distribute movies over the next 60 years or so.

Well, for one, Simba is singing "MAkuna Matata" instead of "HAkuna Matata"...downhill from there.

Holy shit I was listening to this and I thought it was all just a preamble to the actual song. He just keeps talking and the music never really kicks in, I check the time and its at a 1m30s. No soul compared to the original.

Its called "tact". Now dummy up before they figure out what we're after!

Sorry to disappoint you, but it's shit user complete and utter shit

The Leitmotifs were used more generously.
You hear the melody of "This Land" quite often. Even more than it was used in the original.

It feels like the score itself is saying "Remember that one Oscar winning Hans Zimmer music from the 90s, it was really great wasn't it?" directly into your face.

The "original story" is 5 lines long.

It'll definitely break even on nostalgia grounds alone

How badly does that new Beyonce song stick out?

Sounds like really generic pop music. It sticks out of the strongly africa-themed soundtrack like a sore thumb.
I can only describe it as artificial Oscar bait "intended epicness".

The other live action adaptation at least had "acting" with real human beings. This is just 3D CGI Lion King

They used "he lives in you' for the stage version, its super fitting, I guess maybe that was the intention here but someone higher up thought they needed to put in a pop song that peole recognise or some shit.

Can't really be recognisable if it is originally made for the movie though

I love how it zooms out so they don't have to show us fucking anything.

If they really wanted a Beyoncé song in the soundtrack they should have just written one for Nala and given her a scene to sing it. This is so boring.

It's different for primates

Man I don't even really like Lion King that much, but this scene is so goddamn good. I'm guessing it was probably removed because it was too active and expressive.

yeah I'll give Disney that. They definitely are creating within me an all new appreciation for how good the original Lion King actually was.

>How does Scar die?
Exactly like it the original movie.
Shot for shot

Give your money to a studio that actually deserves your money. Preferably the one that just became a victim of arson.

Guys I like the eyes as much as the next person but there's no way they could show that on a real lion.

Was there anything interesting going on during the credits, or were they just an empty black background with text rolling like they were in the original movie? Any kind of interesting graphics or animations, or mid-credits/stinger stuff? What song played?

Of course other races are evil. One race in particular is a net loss on humanity and would fix like 50% of Western society if they disappeared tomorrow.
Which race? Well that depends on your political/radical affiliation. But the statement can be interpreted as true and regarding different races.

Then how do parrots work genius

Elton is a massive narcissistic douchebag so he's probably in denial about how bad the movie is since he played a part in making it.

Man if only they had animated this movie instead of patiently training real lions to do everything

You ever consider a career as a script writer? You might want to, cause the way Disney's headed, they'll be hiring your ass in a couple of years.

And I would watch a reboot with these lines in them.

So the user in this screenshot was posting complete bullshit, then? No portrayal of Scar as a tragic villain, and no messages of tolerance or equality?

I don't know if that's good or bad news to me. Changing the story for the purpose of forcing political commentary would've pissed me off, but at the same time, I also kinda feel like this user
