It's what I expected to look. Apes a lot of the visuals of the original, but makes them worse in essentially every way.

I still hold that they should have focused on remaking the lesser known like they did with Pete's Dragon. So like Black Cauldron, Sword in the Stone, etc.

But this still looks nice

Cg looks amazing. Even if this was a shot for shot remake.. I'd still watch it

Looks pointless and it doesn't even have the best song, Be Prepared so I don't really care for this "live action" version of The Lion King.

The question is what it will do that really justifies its existence as something separate from the original work. The Jungle Book worked because the original is a bit of a mess, decently good parts that make an incoherent whole. The original Lion King is already sublime.

The CG is, of course, amazing here.

You mothafuckas don't even KNOW how much money they're about to make.

Highest grossing Disney movie ever, passing all the Star Wars and Marvel shit? Almost certainly. Everyone from 5-45 years of age is going to be trying to see this.

that requires a definitive 3D experience (higher ticket prices) AND a reason for repeat viewings.

so probably not.

I don't know, I really don't feel like watching "real" animals doing cartoon stuff. It just looks weird.

I hope this fad doesn't last that long. Give me cozy cartoons plz!

Looks so dreary and lifeless compared to the original. Oh well, at least Billy Eichner is getting paid and more James Earl Jones is always good.

Little Simba is adorable. Still not liking Beyonce playing Nala.

Box office crown for 2019 will likely be between Avengers 4, Detective Pikachu, Aladdin, and Lion King.

New standard for CGI incoming. Said it when it was announced and I'll say it again $2B+.

It is funny that calling it live action will make it more money than calling it animated. Might even get then a few oscars
