"There's no point in remaking a good movie, remake a bad movie and improve upon it."
-I don't fucking remember who said it

[Nightksa]

There is an unfortunate trend nowadays of “the visuals and cinematography are amazing, but everything else is bad”

Disney: Let's remake Lion king
Fans: But it's perfect no need to remake it
Disney: IT DOESNT MATTA ITS IN THE PAST!

The problem with realistic graphics is that it reaches a point it looks so real that it's

[possummagic]

"Hurr durr but it's for a new generation!"

There's no reason why new generations can't enjoy the original Lion King.

Everyone: “What inspired you to make a live action of the lion king?”

Disney: “Hello I like money”

[gracecalis]

Did you guys know they released a better version of this in the 90's?

[TrueUnderDawgGaming]

I wish this film was a shot by shot remake. It's more like a simplified version of the original with some beloved scenes cut out.
It looks very realistic, but for me personally that ruins a lot of the charm.

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
Basically sums up my view on these remakes

"A special effect is a tool, a means of telling a story. A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing." ---
George Lucas

Disney:
40% sequels
59% live action remakes
1% original

[DrDolan]

"Soulless" is the perfect word for this movie

[saskiaviking]

Stuckmann: "What's the point of this movie?"

Disney: "Hello, I like money!"

[PhoeniixFiire]

So this is basically just The Lion King - Realistic Texture Mod.

[andrewkohler]

The remake's "Be Prepared" was a crime against all that is good in this world.

[carlitos]

Cutting Rafiki's and Simba's scene about forgetting the past was criminal!! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!

[david_donovan]

Chris this isn’t just “control c, control v” to make the new Lion King. They changed the font as well.

"I got this shit on Vinyl."-Stuckmann 2019.

[akmedia]

The voices don’t match the characters and their mouths barely move
