I hate when people think that hand drawn or 2D animation is inferior or outdated when compared to CGI. Sure, CGI may look more realistic and better than 2D, but treating the art as subpar is unfair. People, more importantly Disney themselves, seem to forget or underestimate how great hand drawn animation can be when put in the hard work and effort.

I don't think this is the worst remake ever, but it definitely falls short compare to the original. Honesty, the hand drawn animation of the original I find more appealing and lively.

I will enjoy if you do a review comparing and contrasting the original Disney animated Jungle Book with Disney’s live action counterpart as well as The Legend of Mowgli (which I believe is the best of the three since it’s closer to the original book as well as a lot darker)

that was better than the film

If they touch the aristocats im burning down everything the disney corporation owns

My personal impression of this movie boils down to single question: "Why does it exist?" It has no reason to exist other than being a mindless cashgrab, working on nostalgia bait. It is in every conceivable way inferior to the original. It feels bland and lifeless, and despite being basically shot-for-shot remake... it is longer, because they added pointless padding (like yeah, the original is good, but we really need a literal minute of some bug just walking around in the opening scene). The realism doesn't work here, not only in showing emotions, but also in action - characters blend together, you can't tell one lion from the other, one hyena from the other - it makes action scenes a hard to read mess. But one thing that really brings my piss to a boil is that everyone call this thing "live action" - there is NOTHING live in this...

considering scar's birth name is "taka" which means "garbage" so

If you’ve seen the original you’ve seen the “live action” remake but 37272826647484837366372818816335688372637x better

I will say, having watched this movie weeks after raising a litter of kittens, and also working in animal care most of my life, the faces were pretty accurate if you know how to read cats. But if you are used to animated faces, and especially with a shot by shot from the original, it isn't really what it could have been. Relying on people who know how to read animals isn't fair to people who don't have those kinds of opportunities.

Fun Fact: Scar's actual name was Taka, which translates to trash in swahili and receives his name of Scar after a foolish fight with a herd of buffaloes that arose from his jealousy of Mufasa.

Scar's name is Taka, it means Garbage or trash, I think

2d animation is dead and disney killed it

Even my dog has more expressions than these lions She pulls off looking scared much better and the only scary thing she’s been through is hearing a random loud knock on the door

Frickin' *Poundland.* 😮😯😶😔😌😙 You just made my day, sir.

Realism is much better the animation in my opinion because it shows you exactly what the character looks like in real life and their emotions are very different compared to us since they usually show body language more than facial, so I don't think that's really fair.

Performance capture would've been the saving grace for sure.

*The Tryin King

For me the worst thing about the remake is how the MASSACRED "Be Prepared".

The only thing that I Actually Made Me Hate this film is the Dialog in the Ending. When the confession and Betrayal and Stuff happened. That's the shit that made me : W.T.F.???!?!?!?!??!!??!!?!?!??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol isn’t it officially one of the highest grossing animations of all time though? Wouldn’t think so from that intro.

02:34 - Oh. OH you do not know how Scar got his name? Ohboy. You must be blissfully unaware of the terrible show called The Lion Guard. SPOILERS: a snake bit him after some evil lion tried to trick him. Then the snake's venom apparently turned him evil, despite how it was shown Mufasa was already treating him badly. So yeah, no intricate backstory, he just got MADE evil by snake venom (and the same thing almost happens to Kion in the second season...) SOOO dumb.

You did not have to do that couple dirty like that 😂

I seen this movie with my ex and she crying when mufasa died and I couldn't tell if she was crying because the movie was bad lol I had to wipe the tear off her face

It's not bad tho :( I might be biased

It is NOT a shot for shot remake. Animals DOES show emotions. So the whole review is a lie.

Scar was underwhelming in the remake

There was a red carpet event in London for this film but I couldn't go in 😭 and Jon faverau was there, I'm doomed. LOL!

I liked the Live-action Adaptations of Beauty and the Beast and The Jungle Book, but I can see why people hate this film; The characters look flat, dead, and emotionless. The Jungle Book did the photorealistic animals a lot better, so why was this so bad?

The best way I've ever seen to showcase this movie's issues. Show people the scene of Scar talking to Simba in the gorge. Muted. That right there displays all of the issues inherent to this style. Also, there is no Jeremy Irons devouring the scenery to make the second most memorable Disney villain (the most is Hades) and no song for him. Very lame. What is also hilarious is that I saw someone change the character's color palletes and eyes to look like the original with Deep Fakes, and that act alone made this look s much better.

The fact that Steve sounded so dead in this review. God, this movie broke everyone, and was probably the reason the universe cursed us with 2020.

Dude... they might make a prequel live action to the lion king 2019. Sad... why do we need this...😑

You hate Watership Down 2018 for being different to the original film. You hate The Lion King 2019 for being the same as the original film. So what do you want out of these remakes? Make your fucking mind up.

National Geographic the movie

Why people like realistic shit it's borring and limited. They trow all the money recreating cartoon in to realisim. I think im not in to CGI that mush.

It's a shame we don't get the great "it is in the past" moment.

Truthfully if I didn't know this was a lion king remake I would have thought it was a documentary.

They should have used the animation style from zootopia. Would have been much better then. Still just a remake without anything new, but at least it would have a decent movie.

“Poundland” sounds like some sorta gay club 🤣

i hated this movie. but my family loved it.

Please review the new Aladdin. I'm so upset.

Ngl 7:24 is me and my gf. We still hated the film tho. Long live The Lion King original!!

Personally I didn't have a problem with the lack of expressions: Real life felins have a very limited range of expression themselves. What made me mad was that it was an exact copy of the original made in 3D, it didn't add anything new to the mix. They put minimum effort in the making.

Hey SteveReviews can you please review the remake of Mulan I heard that it’s a bad remake?

2:40 scar real name is Taka which also means garbage.

As a kid I wondered why Scar was so pissed off because he had some game too be just wasn't a good guy. Maybe he didn't have brute strength but he had brains so......

I thought the remake was alright.

Pride looks like a better movie.

r/makemesuffer

Me and my grandpa went to see this movie and all I did was bedtime and bathroom because of how stupid and ridiculous this movie is

The realistic nature of the cgi isn't entirely the reason that the film was so emotionless. Take the guardians of ga'hoole movie. They also went for a more realistic approach, but the expressions they managed to pull were amazing

Don't make a live action just make it 3d

WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE THIS ITS GOOD !!!!???

This movie was the opposite of everything great about the original. Only thing good about it was the film score.... Hans Zimmer moved the heck out of me... (kinda hated Beyoncé’s rendition of nala including can you feel the love tonight which was wayyy over sung and completely lost its meaning as a result)... not mention it was in the middle of the fucking DAY.... more like can you feel the love this afternoon? Be prepared was laughable and was a serious injustice! However I must say I admire the effort put into replicating realistic animals and the CGI was pretty stunning but it stopped the animals from emoting...

At the same time, in The Jungle Book 2016, especially with Baloo and Bagheera, you could always see a level of emotion in their faces and it didnt actually look that strange

Listen me if you hate the lion king 2019 I hate you too because it’s like the cartoon but I still love the lion king 2019

They could have took the money from tge remakes and make a new movie

bunch of winning

Omg i want to go to the movies with you dude✌

One time while I was in the toy section at Walmart, I saw two plushies of Simba. One was for the 90s version, and the other was for the reboot version. The 90s one looked cute because it had large expressive, colorful eyes that were made by stitching. The reboot Simba plushie had normal small glass eyes, so it looked like a regular lion toy you would see at a zoo gift shop or a Scholastic Book Fair. The contrast between the toys' appearance demonstrated every flaw with the reboot.

I didn’t see it but my mom and sister saw it and they asked me if I had already seen witch I have ya know the original I WITCH IS ALL THE FUCKING REMAKE IS SHOT FOR SHOT REMAKE BUT ITS SHIT

1. They lost the humor of the first movie 2 . Dry background 3. This was just for Beyoncé’s good album I will take the original anytime

0:06 LONG LIVE SCARS EXTENDING NECK

Unlike you chumps who saw it in theater, I watched it for (relatively) free on a cruise. I didn’t like it, but it was being shown on the upper deck, so why not I guess, nothing much was happening in the pool

I loved Senshi in this new film and in some points was cool to see how characters would be in realistic way. They've also brought something more to the story of original 2D in Nalas side of the story - based on scenes in Lion King Musical I guess.

For visual effects and computer animation fans like me, this movie is a wet dream. But that's just the visuals. Everything else made me vomit in a stream.

Scar's original name was Taka, which means "to want". Unfortunately, Disney writers never checked for alternative meanings to the word, and Taka also means "trash" or "garbage" when used as a noun, so now you have legions of people who don't understand the naming conventions in Lion King worked and think Scar original name was trash.

I have no idea how anyone can watch the full thing. I watched 5 minutes of it before I just couldn't and watched something better instead. There's no emotion...it's so dull.

What I hated about the movie was that some of the songs were either cut out or shortened and towards the middle to the end of the movie they didn't follow the sequence of events that happened in the original

I only paid $5 and had to wait in a line to see this! All I gotta say is it wasn't worth the $5 or waiting in line. I left the theater SUPER underwhelmed! "Be prepared" felt like it was thrown in the last minute, the stampede was weak! The most iconic scene in which scar kills Mufasa felt flat & emotionless! & Most of the epic scenes were rushed! I would give this version a D-

Ino it’s Disney and the cartoon was already done I wanted this film to b bit more adult material ,not like any to far just without any kids songs,more emotion or any distinctions with the characters I haven’t watched it yet cuz I know wat happens

Even though you were babbling while showing 4:41 I got goosebumps

I actually love the lion King(2019) and the 1994

It made me angry when they got rid of some of the most iconic jokes.

Isn’t it call kimba the white lion ???

0:11 why he fall like that

1:58 Except they didn't do that with Maleficent, they just made an entirely different character.

I was that couple sitting behind Steve wtf

Nope it was good

Making a ramake of a good movie or animation is like making a remake of a good painting, it just doesn't happen twice. It has to be made different intentionally.

The rest of them have been garbage

I only enjoyed the first Maleficent, Beauty and the Beast and The Jungle Book remakes

The only song that was improved in my opinion is Can You Feel The Love Tonight. Beyonce and Donald Glover sound wonderful together.

There was a book about Mufasa and Scar's childhood which delved into their backstory. Scar was originally name Taka (which means "waste" in Swahili) envied his brother when he learned that he was to be heir to the throne. When he stumbled upon the hyenas, an adolescent Shenzi suggested that he show up Mufasa. When Mufasa tries to reason with a greedy buffalo who was hogging up the water, Taka challenged the buffalo to fight Mufasa, but this backfired when the buffalo attacked him and slashed his eye with his horn. After Mufasa managed to calm the heard done, Taka adopted the name "Scar" as a reminder of his reckless mistake.

It Felt Like I Was Watching a Nature Documentry Too Be Honest But I Was Quite Disspointed Since They Took Out Alot Of Comedy That I Loved In The Animated Movie For Example: When Timon Dressed In Drag And Did The Hula Is One Of My Favourite Scenes from Disney And I Remember Laughing At It Alot When I Was Little So I Was Really Excited To See That Scene But With Live Action But Too My Disappointment It Never Showed.

FUN FACT: Scar's real name is Taka....my 3 only issues is the revised be prepared song.. should have kept the old one and tbh i didn't need Beyoncé singing the spirit song.....sorry Queen B fans. lastly they should have put more emotion into their lines to offset the realism because the voices seemed bland. otherwise the movie was beautiful.

Honestly, I found the remake, like most remakes, simply a different form. I enjoyed it. Maybe not as much as the original, but I don't think it was bad. Then again, I enjoy movies, not film. It doesn't matter much to me. *A normal audience member*

What my problem with the remake is it doesn't invoke the same emotion as the original movie did. I'll give an example: In the original stampede scene after mufasa falls and simba calls out to his dad,he sounds worried and concerned. With the lines: "dad c'mon you gotta get up (tearfully) dad? We gotta go home" Not going to lie that scene still makes me cry a little even more so now,I lost my dad to cancer in 09 and that scene resonates more with me. In the remake the same level of emotion is not present in that scene. When simba is calling out for his father his voice sounds like he's annoyed rather than concerned. It definitely took me out of the scene and didn't spark any reaction from me. Whereas the original I still cry,it has nothing to do with nostalgia but, rather acting and beliveability. I mean honestly there's something wrong if a cartoon can spark real emotions of sadness from me and a live action adaptation does nothing. These are just my 2 cents on the subject.

His real name was Tukka, there are videos on his backstory you should watch. (I’m referring to scar btw)

Welp I'm triggered

Nickel-Odeon *Nickel* *TRIGGERED*

Long live the king Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surreal entertainment??? Was that his video from the few seconds of the video??? Btw love his weird ass vids.

I don't get what's so wrong with it it's just a live-action remake well not live action but you know what I mean it's just a harmless movie.

BBC Pride > Lion King 2019

1st: I’m jealous my country doesn’t have a store called pound land. 2nd: I’m a little sad it’s not called pound town

What he said in the intro wasn't a lie. I laughed my ass off 🤣 also the remake is a snoozefest

If you can't read body language and rely soley on how smiley or frowny the characters are, you need to fucking grow up my dude
