So given the Lion King remake is a monstrous success, what're the chances they'll remake the sequels as well?

HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HA. No.
I don't trust any of this shit anymore

No one holds the sequel with any nostalgic merit.
>cgi lion guard
>lena dunham singing "THAT'S HOW I GOT MY SCAAAAAR"
>$1.5B
I didn't think it'd do that well, I mean it was alright, but not $1.5B levels of alright.
Hmmm, maybe you're right. I barely remember anything from Lion King 2, besides Scar having a secret kid. But 1.5 was pretty good.
I will never understand people. Just watch the original again. How the fuck did this make so much money.
>everyone agrees it looks bad
>everyone agrees live action remakes are blatant nostalgia shilling without artistic merit
>everyone goes to see it anyway
We only have ourselves to blame for Disney's dominance
But it's RRRREEEEEAAAAALLLLLLL
>Disney said it made this much money so it did
just wait and see if the blue ray sales match these numbers
i don't think many people care about blueray numbers
Kids. Families. China.
People don't watch things because they're good. They watch them because they're bored.
The incentives to lie here seem pretty low compared to potential fines for misrepresenting info relevant to investors. I have very little doubt that the world is filled with people who are satisfied by absolute garbage
>everyone agrees
Retards on Yea Forums aren't everyone
Yea Forums is just usually wrong about everything all the time.
This literally says that they only fudged the numbers in terms of the theme parks, no other branch of the company was affected. But good job looking like a retard and doing exactly what everyone thought would come out of this by using this to claim Disney lies about their movie grosses.
>Disney only lied about this little things guys. They would never lie about other branches of their company
drone
>I barely remember anything from Lion King 2, besides Scar having a secret kid.
Sorry to tell you, but you don't even remember that part right.
It's rated rotten on RT. Sure, not everyone, but how many of the top ten grossing films of all time can claim to have that many reviewers dismissing them?
If they make another, I'd like to see an original story. I think the realistic visuals of the remake really exposed how weak and silly the plot of the original movie was. I guess the vibrant cartoonyness of the original help hiding the writing, but when you play it straight up, it's upsetting. Wasn't sure whether to laugh or rage after I saw this couple weeks back. I honestly just felt bad for the animators working their asses off, while the writers slept at the wheel.
>what're the chances they'll remake the sequels as well?
The thing that let this remake earn so much is the fact that TLK is one of the most watched animated movies of all time, and one of the most memorable. Almost nobody watched the sequels, making them less important. I don't think they would, unless they're so desperate.
Disney is burning through their most beloved movies. Beauty and the Beast, Jungle Book, Aladdin and TLK are already done. I think Snow White is already done, too, I can't remember. The Little Mermaid is another one of those, and it looks horrible, but so did Aladdin and look how much it made, because nostalgia is a hell of a drug. As long as they copy frame by frame the animated movie, like they did with Aladdin, it will do fine, unfortunately. And then there's Mulan, another beloved movie, so it can be considered done. But after that, which movies does Disney have? Pocahontas, Brother Bear, Sleeping Beauty, Dindu Princess, Black Cauldron, Aristocats, Robin Hood, Tangled, and probably some others which I don't remember. Nobody give a fuck about those movies.
I think their last beloved franchise is Lilo and Stitch, but maybe I'm forgetting something else.
