yeah that's going to be a pass

the voices and visuals just don't fit

>Expecting a movie to reach 1B within seven days

Of course its gonna be shit only retards think otherwise

They're just updating for copyright

Won't flop but if it did it seeing Disney spin it somehow as racist would be some funny shit.

I-I'm hyped as fuck but that's because I'm a supreme autist for The Lion King. I just really love the story.

do you only watch films that make over $1b?

Just go see Hamlet

Already did it. It's great obviously but I'm talking about emotional connection. Like watching the movie several times in a row for years as a kid.

This is actually better though. At least it looks like they are talking. In the new Lion King it looks like the voices are coming from nowhere.

Star Trek is based on already existing stories, concepts, and philosophy, but set in space, and following a science fiction film rush from the 50's.

why tho, the OG is a perfectly fine movie that's easily available to watch

The voices totally do not fit the charter designs so that was my first impression, but now I see the problem is the character designs don't fit the charter. Glover was well cast.
I do think the desgins would work for a different story, like pride of Bagdad or something.

I'm your opposite to a certain degree.
I on purpose have avoided to watch the lion king for many years.
Now I want to watch this live action remake and then watch the original.
I hope I like it now that I'm old.

That's what happens when you already have an actor in mind so you skip the audition process. Same with Beyonce as Nala.

People used to audition for months for voice parts in Disney movies (Jasmine in the original 1992 film took like 6 months to finalize). Nowadays they bank on star power so they approach the actors first and just wing it.

Supposedly Sony forced Marvels hand and told them they had to release a spiderman movie this year or the contract to use him in the MCU was void, initially avengers was supposed to be the last MCU movie released this year

No, it won't.
It will earn 1.500b dollars.

Nobody I've talked to is hyped, it's either outright indifference or they have an issue with the style (or lack thereof)

That movie needs 1b or Disney is losing the rights.

But why bother in the first place? I bet they could just re-release the original into cinemas for the younger generation to experience for no cost and still make bank.

Is the Lion King 4K worth it or not really if I already own the Blu Ray? I already rewatched the movie last night and the colors still looked really good so idk if HDR would make much a difference there.

Why would I watch it? Mufasa local dubber was a great actor who died 19 years ago, I don't want to see him get the shaft.

Also, good job Disney, you made the most expensive National Geographic (which they now own) documentary of all time so you can have "is an animal and its mouth goes up and down when the actor speaks".

This is Disney.

Just watch the stage musical.

The voices aren't as good as the original by a long shot, but it'll do really well. Unless there's some woke Nala or something, I'd take my kid to see it if he was young enough to want to go again.

Am I supposed to have watched that millennial trash to know what you're talking about?

Its lion king with cgi instead of animation and with marketing that emphasises that black people voice the lions.

So I dont really know. It should be ignored by people in general but flocked to buy parents desperate to entertain their kids for ome evening.

It doesn't matter. Disney will "magically" make those ticket numbers soar.

We are living in an era of 1 billion dollar movies that nobody has seen.

It feels like given how desperate they are to make it look real.

wasn't that just China and done by cinemas themselves.

It just has no emotion. Glover was a great choice. Beyonce sounds off as fuck.

Beyonce ALWAYS sounds like shit when she does voice acting. She's done this before and she always sounds like she doesn't give a fuck. And yet they keep hiring her as boon bait.

i remember when dreamworks did the cut-rate low brow black people animations like shark tale while pixar/disney was doing art for white kids

Glover sounds like a weak funny guy, doesn't fit a Lion (assuming that's his voice, I've never heard him before and I can't tell who's saying what in the video to be honest).

Dude you are most likely a grown adult children these days don't like animation as much as you do let it go.

gene wasn't jewish

The whole point of Animation is to avoid hiring over paid actors. Celebrities who aren’t even trained voice actors.

If they hired meme celebrities they clearly know it’s going to be shit. The jungle book movie was good but it least had an emoting human being in it.

based Buddhist

Animation has hired celebrities for around 3 decades now.
Lion King has James earl jones, Jeremy Irons and that's just on top of my head.

Literally looks like some elaborate commercial for cat food or something.

>Glover sounds like a weak funny guy

That's more or less how adult Simba originally sounded though.

I remember for the early marketing they made a big deal about hiring black actors for all the lion roles, because Africa. I thought it would be kind of neat to see TLK with everyone having Swahili accents, it would certainly give it some flavour.

The fact that they hired amerimutt actors instead seems like such a waste.

Children love anime tho

>disney publicly discriminates against non-black actors
Yeah that never happened

Looks so bad. Whoever thought this was a good idea?

>disney has no 2d artists left

Can someone tell me how come everything looks more lifeless than the Jungle Book? Are they trying extra-hard to avoid uncanny valley?

This has nothing to do with 2D vs 3D, and everything to do with some galaxy brains at Disney thinking they need to push a hyper-realistic artstyle for their cartoon instead of going for pic related.

There's no hype for autists
There's massive hype amongst normies, just the fact that james earl jones reprises his role as mufasa is enough to get them excited.

Did your wife's son cry, as well?

Maybe they plan to have real animals in their theme parks that look like the ones in the movie with little microphones spouting the voice actors classic lines.

Stuckmann just gave it a C

You want the real redpill?
The Disney execs realised that their company is single-handedly responsible for the creation of the furry degeneracy, so now they're working to undo that by remaking all the classic talking animal films using an artstyle that makes all the animals as unfuckable as possible. Take it from me, I can't fap to this movie at all.

Exactly this. I'd love to see TLK in IMAX, if only because the opening, stampede and final fight sequences would give me chills.

That and Beyonce. Star power is all this movie is banking on for success, when the original didn't have to do that. Or at least the star power for the original wasn't that strong and overrated.

What do you think of the new Be Prepared?
youtube.com/watch?v=kLQ6SRH90s4

The opening sequence to this remake, the singer sounds bored as fuck. There's no power, no weight.

You know, you just gotta convince that Disney is exploiting their nostalgia and its workers and maybe that'll get people to wake up to being manipulated by the Mouse. Voting with your wallet is a very powerful thing.

Why does whether or not it flops affect whether or not you go see it? You only watch things that are popular? Faggot.

Holy fuck that's BAD. The singing is whatever, but the music is barely there. There's no excitement or anything. I'm guessing the goose-stepping hyenas are out, so it's going to be inferior either way.

Sounds like Scar is just standing there, singing, and not moving around and having the time of his life. No banter between him and the hyenas.

"There's something very cheap at the core of this overtly, ostentatiously expensive film, reliant as it is on our memory of the original to accentuate every significant moment."

- Pat Brown, Slant

Yep, just as I feared.

Being an Aspie, I was going to hate this remake no matter what when they first announced it.

Yep. Be Prepared is my favourite Disney song and they absolutely butchered it.

Mixed reviews on RT so far, The Stuck gave it a C, and Jahns said it was a good time if you're drunk. For him to say that must mean that it is truly reprehensible.

Considering the shit with Hakuna Matata, I wonder how insanely cringey the I Can't Wait to Be King sequence is going to end up.
How the hell do these remakes continue to miss the mark on the original's songs?

I'm just gonna download it hahah

I genuinely want to see the trainwreck that is Can You Feel The Love Tonight. The whole sequence hinged on the non-verbal expressions of the characters like Nala's bedroom eyes, it'll look absolutely ridiculous with the current artstyle and animations

What about The Morning Report the special edition put in long ago? Think that shit's in this? Now THAT was pretty bad, tolerable the first couple of times I watched it as an older kid, til I decided to only ever watch the original cut cause it's just cringe.

Because it's crazy to see animals talking and acting like humans, especially if they look realistic.

Guardians of the Galaxy was 2014 and Rocket Raccoon looks great
Jungle Book was 2016 and had none of the issues this one has

It'll never be realistic because animals simply don't talk like us. It will always be uncanny valley.

H-how does a movie come back from this? How many critic scores are averaged usually?

Eh, Jungle Book's CGI's got problems, trust me. It's gonna age poorly.
Practical effects > CGI
any day

Jungle Book kind of worked because Shere Khan’s personality changed from a suave predator to an unreadable stone face killer.

>I'm the joker baby

The worst fucking part about this is that Simba throughout the entire movie just has a blank look on his face

It'll just be a scene for scene remake of the cartoon one, but with shitty, non-expressive cgi characters, and maybe an added plot line about the power of feminism (with something about the lionesses being oppressed, and same with the hyena - they're abused by the "trumpian" scar, who will try to build borders around the pride lands)
Aladdin should clue you up on what to expect from Disney.

As an aside, reckon they'll hire a black actress to be mulan?

Also the boar identifies as a lion.

A movie so uninspired that it takes from Raimi’s movies directly because they know they can’t do better.

>stole some of its audience

How? A movie costs like 15 bucks. Are people not capable of watching two movies over the time that they're in theaters?

That clip reminds me of the Prince Ali clip from the new Aladdin. No soul, no energy, no feeling that it’s anything but a copy of something superior.

Too much control. Disney knows now that it doesn’t need to actually take real risks anymore, and doesn’t even need to have actual directors direct.

People are Disney Zombies now, so whatever they slap on the screen will make them a mint as long as they remind you of something better. The remakes, MCU, and Star Wars movies all have that formula, and as long as people mindlessly go to the films they’re fine with it.

Movies get way more expensive when you take a whole family, the main audience for Disney crap.
15 dollars becomes 60 dollars plus concessions which can easily be another 30-50 dollars
Yes, people get paid every two weeks but a try fitting multiple 100 dollar outings into the family budget when that could be better spent on an actual vacation

This. It’ll make them back money because “fans” of Disney/MCU/Disneywars are literally human sheep at this point.

Hence why we really didnt need this. If I wanna watch the Lion King I'll fire up the DVD. If I want to watch lions in the wild, BBC has some superb documentaries about African wildlife. And if I want to listen to Beyonce or Glover sing, Id just put them on on Spotify. What were they thinking?
