Live action means what it sounds like, this isn't live action despite a lot of people labelling it as such.What does live action actually mean? Is it just CGI in a real life setting rather than pure animation?
Had no idea Pikachu was live action! Looks awesome!Looks great but it's no detective pikachu is it!
Seriously though anyone who isn't excited by this even a little must be dead inside
Was gonna say the same thing.I thought live action meant real animals. I wondered how they were going to train that many.
Agreed, but at the same time, i'll give them a pass because goddamn does this look stunning.The lack of Jeremy Irons just got weirder.
Can't possibly tell that from just a trailer?Looks fantastic.
My only issue based on the trailer is, with this and Aladdin, that they seem to be going for more grounded performances with their villains rather than the scenery chewing, hammy performances of Scar and Jafar that we've grown up with.
I'm sure it'll be fine, but it just feels...wrong somehow
I reckon Chiwetel Ejiofor will do a great job as ScarLooks fantastic.

Of course, it could very well be in the actual film their performances are as over the top cartoon villainy as you'd expect, it's just that the line deliveries in the trailers feel fairly restrained to me in comparison to the originals.Can't possibly tell that from just a trailer?
Not convinced by the voice, his voice is just missing the gravitas that we're used to with Scar and his voice just sounds tamer to the point where it takes away from the feeling, but can't really judge it from a couple lines so will wait to see the movie. The trailer looks excellent overall.I reckon Chiwetel Ejiofor will do a great job as Scar
Hand-drawn > CGISo it's the same shit, but with better graphics?
There were a few changes, mostly having Shere Khan be more prominent from the start and giving him a backstory that meant there was more of a revenge vibe between him and Mowgli.Did jungle book adaptation have any changes to the storyline? This looks like a scene by scene copy with 0 changes.
It doesn't need changes. Lion King is perfect.Did jungle book adaptation have any changes to the storyline? This looks like a scene by scene copy with 0 changes.
Have you not identified a need in your own post there? It's clearly got a market so how can it be needless?This is very much a needless remake devised by a large corporation to prey on our nostalgia but that doesn't mean we can't still enjoy it. It'll be a nice comfort watch.
Money. Lots and lots of sweet money.Looks good but I honestly do not see the point. The Lion King is an absolute classic - why does it need updated?
It's only because Disney knows they'll make a lot of money on it, they know people will watch it because of nostalgia. Hence why they're pumping out all these live action Disney movies. Beauty and the Beast was a major success, yet it's pretty much forgotten about now. I think Dumbo made a lot of money too. Then there's Lion King, Aladdin, Mulan, etc. With that plus the Avengers movies, Disney are about to make a fecking shit load of money, even more than they do now.Looks good but I honestly do not see the point.

Yeah you're right. I suppose it's needless from an artistic or creative point of view but not from a business point of view.Have you not identified a need in your own post there? It's clearly got a market so how can it be needless?
It's Lion King. Unless try to be too clever/different, it'll be fun.My biggest issue with this is that, with the exception of the little tag at the end, it doesn’t look fun... like, at all.
My point was more that it looks drab, washed out and more like an Animal Planet doc than a fun, vibrant cartoon for kids, with expressive anthropomorphic animals and silly songs. I don’t really see the point in a down to earth, photorealistic remake of the fecking Lion King! personally...It's Lion King. Unless try to be too clever/different, it'll be fun.

Agreed. I couldn’t really make out the personalities of any of the animals.. there was zero cute factor. Think they needed to dial it down on the realism aspect and make it more Toy storyish.My biggest issue with this is that, with the exception of the little tag at the end, it doesn’t look fun... like, at all.
