New Lion King Trailer

[Jokerz79]

Looks Amazing

[Personamanx]

As someone who has been largely uninterested in Disney's previous "live action" adaptations of it's animated catalogue, I think I'm down with this. It looks great, and the cast is amazing. Photo-realistic CGI has a history of aging terribly, and quickly but at the same time I don't see it getting much better than this.

the anthropomorphic animals singing and dancing works perfectly in hand-drawn animation...

what I find most ominous is that they will probably be keeping all of the songs in place.... sure, the CGI looks good enough for the relatively 'normal' looking scenes shown in the trailer. but I can't help but think that once the animals start dancing, moving, and singing like human beings that "Hakuna Matata" will become this unholy blend of UNCANNY VALLEY and involuntarily break the fourth wall at the same time.

it's definitely going to take you out of 'a photo-realistic movie' experience if the creatures are doing things like they did in the original animated film. (okay, maybe it would just be me)

Meh nothing really looks that great to me...

The internet has ruined me. I expected Rafiki to toss Infant Simba into the crowd.

The internet has ruined me. I expected Rafiki to toss Infant Simba into the crowd.

"I am Rafiki! I could kill you, Simba, but death would only end your agony and silence your shame. Instead, I will simply... BREAK YOU!" he breaks Simba's back on his knee.

and THEN he tosses infant Simba into the crowd. ;-)

[yeah, I know the Bane reference is corny but I couldn't help it]

Meh nothing really looks that great to me...

Hope it don't have the same old songs. Also I like Earl Jones but it would have been nice to have someone new

[Starter Set]

Better be some new stuff in that movie.

I don't think that even Disney is shameless to the point to re-use the same songs but who knows?
