Dedicated to my favorite animated series of the 2010s
Well if you can’t recreate the iconic expressive character designs of the animated version, than don’t make it in live action!
A remake should improve, not downgrade, and the visuals are a downgrade, even though the original came out in 1994.
Can’t really help comparing it to the animated version when this remake is completely unnecessary and can’t live up to the gorgeous timeless animation of the original! Advanced CG doesn’t automatically make a movie good.
But in seriousness heres the problem of remaking an animated film like The Lion King in live action
In the original, the designs are very expressive and distinct, each character looks different/has different body language and facial features that display their character perfectly
Scar is sly and cunning, so his mane, body, movements, and expressions all match that perfectly. His animation during the line “Why if it isn’t my big brother….” comes to mind
Whereas Mufasa is respectable and powerful but wise, hence he’s always upright, has a powerful build and thicker mane, and can easily go from looking stern af to looking friendly and calm.
The stellar voice cast also played a part in this
In the live action trailer, There’s no emotion in the characters faces, all their expressions look the same to me, even when they’re in peril or emotional distress
Particularly at 1:00 when Scar tells Simba to leave, and Simba has a normal ass lion expression whereas in the original he was clearly crying and scared
Or I can’t even tell what they’re expressing because they look like normal ass animals. That’s boring!
A film like The Lion King does not work in live action, nor do most of the live action remakes Disney is churning out.
…and it’s probably gonna make like a billion dollars cause of course it will and “OMG That Movie was my childhood and Beyoncé is in it squeeeeee!” -_-
