#TheLionKing #TheLionKing2019 #ReactionVideo - Фільми й анімація
I've seen it described before that the original lion king is almost religious in it's overtones and presentation of itself and the themes it represents. The ceremony with Simba, Mufasa in the skies, the focus on the circle of life, it all feels so grand and magnificent without being overbearing or corny. You can tell the animators and writers put every last bit of love into this movie.
The 2019 film loses every last drop of that. It's completely soulless, it's lifeless, it's not passionate or caring about it's own themes at all. You watch the interviews with the actors and no one cared about their performance at all. That's not to mention the constant and ear grating mentions of Beyonce that are clearly just there to market the movie more by slapping a big name on the IP. John Favrue just wanted to flex tech capabilities by going on and on about making the remake look like a documentary. It's so depressing.
You know that saying, turn water into wine? Disney took the wine their animators and writers already made, and turned it into dish water.
Well said!
¨You know that saying, turn water into wine? Disney took the wine their animators and writers already made, and turned it into dish water.¨
This is it. This is the remake.
I don’t understand why they would bring on Beyonce and not do the song Shadowland. What a waste
Jon tried to make all the animals realistic, but they look either taxidermied or diseased instead.
Yup!
Yes! And DUSTY
Dinos a urs the early 2000s movie was a better realistic film woth MORE facial expressioms
Freaking Aslan from the Narnia movies, which are nearly 20 years old, had more expressive features. You can see the sadness, the pride, the anger in Aslan's face. You know what he's thinking. And lions IRL are super expressive! They snarl, they even "smile". This movie was so bad that it had unrealistic realistic lions.
Scar just looks WRONG. Even ignoring the first movie. Its like his face is too big or something. It doesnt make him look scrawny or whatever. Just ... weird
This movie is literally an example of a classmate copying someone's essay and changing some sentences in the paragraph to try and make it less obvious.
To put it more bluntly it's just an example of garbage
SparkNotes: The Movie.
This comment is literally an example of someone not understanding the meaning of the word “literally”.
@@_TeddyCore This comment replying to mine is irrelevant.
One problem with this movie is disney tried to play on peoples nostalgia and ended up changing the scenes so much it lost that "disney magic" back when we watched the original.
It completely missed the point of the movie
Bad screenwriting probably doesn't help either
"They gave the mouse an arc."
It's bullshit!!!
Allot of the disney remakes seem to be "Telling" instead of "Showing" one of the billion reasons why they're fucking terrible.
You’re not wrong!
I liked when you were talking about how this is the worst movie you've ever seen and there was that dung beetle pushing around that huge pile of shit. It was like the movie itself was agreeing with you x'D
That's why I played that part twice in a row ;)
I remember watching that scene and thinking, “what’s the bloody point of all that? To have simbas hair being rolled around in a pile of giraffe shit?’
35:46 EXACTLY, WHO ARE THEY! The point in the original was that Timon and Pumbaa were OUTCASTS! They didn’t fit in with other animals, but were such good friends, and good for one another because they could relate to one another and GMMNWSHNRAJFH!
They missed the point of every single scene from the original it’s crazy
@@FilmTheRightThing yeah I agree they fucked up sooooooo much. I absolutely adore the original. I love catching subtle “blink and you’ll miss it moments” like when he looks in the pool of water, he does it kind of slow in anticipation, so that’s why he’s so disappointed, but then after “seeing” Mufasa, his body moves in a way as if he’s going to lay down so he can stare at the reflection for a while but instead he hears his voice. It’s super quick but I love it!
@@FilmTheRightThing i hope you did this review of the rest of the remakes, it felt good seeing you rant about this teaming pile lol
@@charg1nmalaz0r51 we’ve done a bunch of them
@@FilmTheRightThing I just binged them lol. You need to do the new peter pan. You could also compare it to the 2003 remake aswell.
Love the technical details these guys notice, and like the meaning behind how things are shot. Very interesting to listen to
Thanks!
Disney Remakes: where they only exist to profit from nostalgia
Yep. Pretty much like the Disney Star Wars trilogy.
Oh, well, ... At least these remakes have a story to tell.
A bad story.
But a story nonetheless
Aladdin and the jungle book was pretty good tbh
@Briggs Francisco What does that have to do with this video or this comment?
The whole first half of this video is "let us bask in the glory of the past because the present is abysmal"
And I fucking love it
And 2 years later nothing’s changed
I just realised that this remake is like a metaphorical Scar killing the old movie, taking it’s place and making it into a barren wasteland.
true
The moment I regretted everything was ‘I just can’t wait to be king’ I started to be physically in pain at that point.
We know your pain lmaoo
The reason "Be Prepared" song was ruined in the remake is bc they added it at the last minute. They originally cut the song from the movie, but when the public found out about that there was a huge outcry about it so Disney had to rush it in there
Yep we remember when that came out!
That was the most stupidities idea to get rid of the most liked song to begin with, and it’s even more offensive to ruined it
What where they thinking?
@@XWierdThingsHappenX They originally cit it because in the original film the evil hyena's were "goose stepping" while marching like fascists. They thought that they needed to completely remove the song because the bad guys were fascists in the original lol. THEY WERE LITERALLY THE BAD GUYS!! I hate the 2019 movie.
really liked your commentary about the visual storytelling and symbolism!
especially the stuff about the direction of the movement. my native language is written from right to left, so all of that flew over my head until now, so thanks =)
No problem! It comes from watching the film A LOT. If you want more insights like this subscribe if you haven't already!
I love how all their predictions were dead on. It kills me.
It’s not too hard to predict a disney film!
To think: cartoon ranked as a "B Project", by Pocahontas, at the time! Your wise analysis reveals much symbolism e.g. past left/future right; mini-Pride Rock; and twists of brambles expressive of the rwisted past.
Thanks!
I saw this and hated it instantly. I'm just thinking out loud: I just watched the most unoriginal and souless movie ever. No emotions in the characters at all, the musical scores weren't the same as the 1994 movie, I could go on. I give this movie... Worst movie award.
It really is one of the worst movies of 2019, it's crazy that they messed this up
@@FilmTheRightThing A classic movie no doubt. Shame on Jon Favro for messing up a fantastic movie.
@@Scorpiosting_1029 I'd argue it was doomed to fail from the start
There was no need to remake it, period. This film as well as all the live action remakes, are nothing but the perfect example of where creativity died and was replaced by corporate greed.
At 11:44, I was like "Yup! This guy gets it!"
I was SIX when I saw this movie for the first time on VHS in 1995. So yeah, you can guess my age (turned 32 last month). I had the unfortunate privilege to see the CGI version in cinemas because I was holding on hope that they wouldn't screw up. The only way I could be "allowed" to critique it is by watching it. The room was, obviously, full of families with children probably a little too young to get it. I didn't get the message until I was 9-10. So yeah, a grown-ass man of 30 watched "nostalgia" with his grown-ass brother and wonderful mother around 5-6 years old kids. That grown-ass man had to hold himself from laughing with a hand over his mouth to respect the audience because that's the only way I could process how bad the entire movie was AND IT IS!!! And as much as I love my family, they didn't understand why I didn't like it. Yup: the camera-style techniques, the personality, the over-explanation, the nuances all replaced by pandering. If I were alone in the theaters, I would have left after "Be Prepared".
I would encourage anyone with a bit of passion for Disney Renaissance to take a look at the original making of narrated and presented by Robert Guillaume (bless his soul), the voice of Rafiki. It's just wonderful! "The Lion King: The Making of a Walt Disney Masterpiece"
I still have the VHS, I still have a Simba puppet plush and, that same year (2019), I went to a music store just looking for discs and I saw the soundtrack for The Lion King 2019 and was offended... I was trying to move it behind the classic version to make sure kids and families would see the old one and then I saw The Legacy Collection 2-disc pack. Of course I bought it since I used to have the cassette tape!!!
7:12 Ed laughed because Banzai set up a "That's what she said" joke.
How much they butchered the "Murderer!" scene with the Lionesses jumping in it.
How they butchered EVERY scene though
@Cartoon Judge! C.G. Agreed about the photorealism. I don't know how a Disney produced Hobbit movie would go though...even in the Disney renaissance
@@FilmTheRightThing
'94: MURDERER!
'19: MURDERER! YOU KILLED HIM! HOW COULD YOU?!?!
Just...why add that extra dialogue?
@@ShadowKamehameha32 because they don’t understand what they’re doing
@@FilmTheRightThing Facts
When you realize in the scene where Simba follows Rafiki, not only is he going left to right, but they often show Rafiki going right to left in the next cut several times. This results in confusing the audience as to who is where. They look like they're running in different directions.
They managed to screw up the 180 rule during a CHASE scene. Even film students get that right in simple dialogue scenes. The filmmaking of soap operas is built almost solely on this one fundamental, basic rule: don't flip the camera's POV so far that interacting characters look like they're focused away from each other.
This half a billion dollar film couldn't get it right.
So amateurish.
How can Jon Faverau want to shoot like a documentary and do bullshit like that
Honestly just wondering why, if they wanted to make a pretty documentary style film without as much expression in the face so bad, why they didn't just remake Bambi. Bambi would have worked so much better with this style. Not saying it'd be great or anything, but... less bad than the Lion King? The Lion King depends heavily on its characters and their relatability, whereas Bambi is much more about the woods and how the animals live within them. Idk just a thought.
Hey hey hey don’t think about it for free, they were paid to think about it and messed up this bad
@@FilmTheRightThing lmao
Don't give them any more idea's!! They've already taken so much from us, don't give them more fuel to burn to their Blood gods!!!!!
Ok, mad respect man. Throughout this whole vid I was cheering you tearing this POS a new a******. You need to be heard more, people who aren't drinking the kool aid need to be heard. Proud subscriber for you guys.
Thanks we have more of these on our channel!
> people who aren't drinking the kool aid need to be hear
I agree. But the speakers are definitely drinking the kool-aid, just a different flavor.
@@rabbitcreative our kool aid is cool
This is the worst Disney remake I have ever seen! Horrible! These remakes need to be stopped!
They won’t because people keep paying to see them
@@FilmTheRightThing Well, they're ruining the magic of Disney. It's really sad. Sorry I was trying to make a point.
In your fave 1994 spot, Simba runs to left (double-focus) to face the past. Ending too short!? Hey, I've been in recover-war-zones that can erupt in no time. The tight pacing gives this film's climax best thrill value.
the fact that The Lion King 2019 exists makes me more depressed than i already am
I hate having to make the distinction
fun fact: mufasa is played by the same person in both movies, thats why he sounds so old in the new one.
We know that's why we made fun of it
I think Keith David would've fit the role of Mufasa just fine
And if you're gonna bring back James Earl Jones to reprise his role, you have to bring back Jeremy Irons as Scar. It's a wasted opportunity.
@@danofsteel785 Because they wanted an all black cast
Minus Zazu Timon and Pumbaa
The only thing I do like from this movie, the only thing, is nala escaping pride rock. It's called taking a new direction versus screwing the original.
but like we said in the video it's so unnecessary because the dynamics of the group as they were originally set up in the 1994 movie, make her "escape" less convoluted. Every choice the remake makes is the wrong choice.
@@FilmTheRightThing True but my point is that if they were going to remake lion king they should have gone with something new story wise. The original was perfect so, try to give us a twist or something. Better than Favauro on crack.
Ok to be honest.... That clip where Timon called Zazu a puffin made me laugh
there are times where it almost got me but I was able to snap out of it fairly quickly. I was not in the mood!!
@@FilmTheRightThing i understand that.... Im just as heart broken as you are that this monstrosity was even made.... Atleast remake the stuff that needed remaking like Black Calderon or The Sword in the Stone i mean MY GODS with all the stuff they left out of that film they can make a good trilogy out of that
@@soulslvr9562 they could also remake the, Treasure Planet and Atlantis The Lost Empire.
@@fangirldreamer748 yea but considering what Disney is doing with these remakes i highly doubt they will aim for anything like that unless they sabotage the marketing like they did last time with these films
@@soulslvr9562 considering how lazy Disney. Is these days you, guys are right. They haven’t done something new, in a very long time.
Your analysis of the first one is fantastic!
Also, fun fact: Disney didn't use Jeremy Irons' "Be Prepared" in the final version. They had another voice actor sing it.
Thanks we try :)
didn't know that, cool! they sound exactly the same
That's incorrect, Part of it was sung by Irons, but Jim Cummings took over the bigger notes
^ yeah that’s more accurate, since Irons blew out his voice after he sings “YOU WON’T GET A SNIFF WITHOUT ME!”
This is why I'll never watch a Live action Disney remake. I refuse to support that shit lol, so I only know about them via reaction videos.
you guys are so underrated
youtube algorithm where you at?
Thanks for saying that! you're not the only one who's said that to us so it means a lot. Tell people you know who might like our stuff if you want to help. Spread the word!
Found it's way to my suggestions
you know how every movie on netflix nowadays is just perfectly lit in every shot and it's all shots where you simply cut from one character to the other, camera straight on them, and there are no creative angles? that was tlk 2019
50:30 "That's not The Lion King, that's a nature documentary. Which is not what I'm supposed to be thinking." Unfortunately it is, cause that's exactly what Favaro said he was going for! He said he wanted it to feel so real, you feel like you're watching a documentary
But it doesn’t feel real
@@FilmTheRightThing Which is exactly why it doesn't work!!!
Yeah. And it was a really stupid idea that literally no one asked for. Just saying "Thats what it is" isn't an alleviation of criticism
The one good thing about this movie for me was the implication that Scar got scarred fighting Mufasa for Sarabi...but that's like saying I found a single pearl in a barrel of dog shit.
I did this too I ran to the 94 version and fell asleep to the 2019 version
Would have fallen asleep if we weren’t so pissed
We literally see sadder scenes of cubs and the death of their parents filmed by a random passerby than that scene lol
true
I love that my cousins high school production of the lion king I saw in like 2015 ? was like 100 times better than whatever the hell the remake was.
Sometimes when I am sad I just watch this video and laugh and laugh. You guys are hilarious but also so interesting and insightful to listen to. I deeply feel your frustration since the original Lion King is such good movie (and also my favorite of all time). I also very much care for your other videos and your opinions! It's a mystery to me why you don't have more views. But that's the algorithm for you I guess. Don't stop being awesome! :)
Thanks! yeah, the algorithm is funny like that
THE WAY I LAUGHED
also as much as i hate the new lion king movie i keep forgetting this is ANIMATION, like it looks so real it ironically feels lifeless and lacks personality
Glad you had a good time watching!
A comparison between the Lion Kings' director commentaries would be cool, but this made me worry for your mental health, haha
Our mental health is being tested with every movie we watch together on this channel
9:10 in both these scene the crescent moon combined with its closest rock structure kinda reminds me of a sickle and hammer. Wouldn't surprise me if it was true
I think it was closer to the Hilaal tbh
Speaking of directors with distinct visual style, imagine if they'd gotten George Miller to direct the remake. THAT would have been a movie worth making.
I don't think a remake of this is worth doing artistically at all. There's nothing that a remake would improve conceptually. I think remakes are warranted when the original film isn't great/good but there's something there that could be improved. Think: The Thing, Insomnia, The Fly, The Manchurian Candidate, etc.
I'm so glad I found this channel!! Great content, keep up the good work :D
Thank you so much! We're workin on it
Thanks for the very entertaining review! Completely agree with all points. I was so disappointed in the 2019 soundtrack (fun fact: So was Elton John), especially at the finale. Would love to see your take on Aladdin and Beauty & The Beast.
We’re getting to those in the future don’t worry!
I didnt find aladdin offensive. Granted, it was just on in the background both times I watched it and they messed up the defeat of jafar, but aside from that, just boring and rambly with the occassional funny moment
I did some Googling because I was interested when you mentioned it: the opening lines of the song (the male singer) is the same person, but they did a different woman to do the bits I think you guys weren't fans of (also I totally agree!)
Good to know! Thanks!
The only Disney movies close to be as good as Lion King are Fantasia and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Imo of course
Been meaning to watch Fantasia and I haven't seen Hunchback since I was a kid. Worth a rewatch!
Shhhh... don’t jinx it, they’ll make FANTASIA live action...
I heard Somewhere they are planning to make a chernabog movie.
I want to die.
@@spritingk6879 ... I just woke up, got that omen of doom in my youtube notifications, and now I want to hurt someone.
I always liked Snow White.
Love this vid! I've decided to make a drinking game out of it, a shot everytime you hear "remember in the original when..."! A movie that makes you wish you were watching another movie
Yay drinking games!
I had time for a fun night. 19 shots
No he lives in you 0/10
wish a 0/10 was possible
Y'all cracked me up hehehe. I also never noticed the technical stuff about filmmaking that you pointed out, like camera angles and direction and when the music should start. Rad video! x3
Thank you!
I dread for them to make a franchise out of this.
OH NO. You're right they could remake The Lion King 2 if they wanted.
@@FilmTheRightThing And if they're really desperate, they might remake the Lion King books and the Lion Guard.
@@albedo5455 Remake everything. Remake the remakes. A loop of remakes.
this comment didn't age well
@@RealEx3. I know.
you guys should do a commentary on The Prince of Egypt. That is another beautiful well done animated film. I get chills from watching it.
Simba almost getting eaten by a pack of hyenas be like: 😐
How I would fix this movie to make it watchable. (I don't care how many people try to kill me for this)
1. give the characters their facial expression back.
2. recast it. (especially James earl jones, beyonce, and Jon Oliver)
3. cut out all the unneeded footage. (I had to say GET ON WITH IT endlessly)
4. make the musical numbers at least more energetic (having the animals just walk and run was pathetic)
5. use the Broadway music and songs (He lives in you should've been played instead of beyonces lame shit)
6. the movie would not be a shot-for-shot remake of the original (Go ahead and shoot my head off and see if that changes anything)
7. resaturate the colors (it doesn't have to be so cartoony but at least vibrant enough to look visually pleasing)
8. make Be Prepared longer and better (the altered lyrics can stay)
9. Have Can You Feel The Love TONIGHT sung at night.
10. fix the stampede so it's more suspenseful and more intense
11. force the audience to get over that it wouldn't be a shot-for-shot remake.
12. use deleted scenes and storyboards concept ideas from the original movie.
13. Leave in the most important scenes and heartwarming moments from the original while trying to be different.
14. Bring special security with me if people start rioting and hating me for changing the story.
or, just don't make it at all
@@FilmTheRightThingTell that to Disney.
Literally have watched this video over and over. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who feels this way. Most people just say “well that’s because you’re obsessed with the og so your just picky”
Thanks for watching!
Old Lion King:🙂
New lion king:🙁
Well, I enjoyed the first 16 min... even tho I feel like an elder millennial now! at least it’s nice to see the young whippersnappers of today appreciating the art of film history
We’re not too young!
Great commentary, I love how you are pointing out all those little things that the live action version ignored because they didn't realize they were important. This video is the only enjoyable way to watch The Lion King 2019 hahaha sorry you had to suffer through it for our entertainment!
No problem, we suffered greatly haha
You say they gave an origin story to everything here, but ironically there's an origin story movie for Timon and Pumbaa and it's like 10 times better than this remake.
Fun fact at 17:56 the whole scene where the sun is rising was the only thing that was actually filmed in Africa. Everything else was filmed in a Unity game engine….
the Mufasa origin story joke has aged like wine now holy shit. They're really making a Mufasa origin story MOVIE
we were ahead of our time we really were
"they remembered the past, probably" yes. this live action film is only 'good' if you've seen the original and it does a good enough job reminding you of how great it was. I'm thoroughly convinced that if anyone who thinks this film is good had not seen the original Lion King prior to watching the remake, they wouldn't think it was good, at all. Yes, it looks realistic and it's very cool that CGI has come this far, but that's about it that this film has going for it.
My first time seeing one of your videos and it's amazing, I love it!
our next video is on beauty and the beast!
One thing you can say for the remake is that it's much more clear on the subject of repairing beeps.
Personally I took Mufasa talking to Simba about the stars more of a take on loneliness than a religious view on death itself. "when ever you feel alone look at the stars and remember the kings of the past will be there to guide you and so will I". Sure it feels very spiritual and fantastical with Mufasa actually appearing in the clouds, I think Rafiki points us into the first interpretation with "look harder, he lives in you" right before he actually sees Mufasa in the water and the clouds and cloud Mufasa telling him "you have forgotten who you are and so forgotten me".
On the remake, id say a big problem is that it doesnt look realistic or magical. Its like says Tim Burtons color palette is realistic. That opening sky? Ive seen far more impressive and beautiful skies at dawn from my window in the city, nature has a habit of looking far more magical than we give it credit for. The lions, cats are very expressive animals, they have expressive faces, expressive body language, its like these people have never seen lions interact with how blank they are, they are social animals, they communicate with each other, they have instictual behavior. And also on the design of the lions and lionesses, there are lions with gorgeous unique facial fur coloring and gorgeous manes. If I just google images of lions theres tons of beautiful lions with unique colors that look way better than the lions in this movie.
Yeah Jon Favreau somehow showed that he hasn’t been outside in a very long time
also wtf you guys need more subs !!!! great job, keep it up
Beauty and the Beast video is almost done!
Its a shame that sone people actually like the live action.like why the original is 1000 times more of a movie than this would ever be
1994: A fun, colourful, emotional animated film
2019: A more realistic nature documentary like film
it has barely any aesthetics resembling a nature documentary, it's just bland
I’ve seen serial killer documentaries that have more personality than this movie
Yes. Because after watching the original lion king, that's what everyone was thinking: "You know what this movies missing? 120 million dollars worth of CGI "
The only pleasure to be derived from this movie is the suffering of people viewing it. I had so much fun listening to your suffering! Enjoyed the screen direction comments, too, though, and other comments, so not just sadistic pleasure in here.
Glad our suffering was worth it!
One thing I despise about the lion king remake is timone and pumba.
1. Timone and Pumba are self aware of their brand. They're stinkin nobodies that NOBODY wants to be around. That's their entire deal! So them having a record of how people react to their brand DEFEATS THEM BEING OUTCASTS.
2. On the topic of Timone and Pumba being outcasts, WHY DO THEY HAVE FRIENDS? Again, Pumba stinks and Timone is...Timone. Who would want to be around them other than Simba who didn't have any better options.
3. They make every joke last way too long. Every. Single. Line. It lasts far too long to remain funny. It keeps devolving into improv rambling humor that rumors the sharp, witty humor they kept on expanding on to ruin. One of the worst offenders is nihilist Timone, like, he coulda just laughed in Simba's face and left at that, but no, he has to go into detail how he views how life works and drags out the joke until it isn't funny anymore.
4. THEY JUST KEEP TALKING, OMG, A QUARTER OF THE ADDED RUNTIME IS JUST TIMONE AND PUMBA NOT BEING FUNNY PLEASE SHUT UP
5. The jokes just keep being too on the nose. When Simba is asking what's on the menu, the representatives of what he was asking saying "please dont eat me" with each item ruins the joke. Another reason why Timone and Pumba shouldn't have friends.
to add onto point #3 everything about it is just too long
@@FilmTheRightThing Yeah. The movie is dragged out for what? The mouse lore and feeding time lore? And to expand on me harping on nihilist timone, being nihilistic on its own isnt funny. Jokes try to elate the audience, timone just being nihilistic is just depressing.
@@BlazingKhioneus there was not one good reason whatsoever
On technical standpoint - the CG is really impressive... And that's about it. Everything lost its charm, colours are bland, characters inanimate, the line deliveries sound flat... It's like someone spits on your childhood.
Fuck, now I wanna binge eat some THICC ass...
Its really not though, random light sources reflecting off fur in random places it shouldn't be, paws floating off the surface of the rock, their faces look like they've been glued on with elmers and every model has this weird outline to it that makes them feel like they're greenscreened in
@@CanadAssassiN
Yeah the irony is that in their pursuit of “realism” they neglected everything else, including all the things that made the original the classic it is. And despite all that attention, the cgi is gonna seem dated in ten years and this movie will become forgotten while the original will still be held in high regard as a classic.
My favorite moment in the original was when Rafiki explains to Simba that his father's legacy lives on within him. Nala has reminded him of his past and introduced doubt in his 'easy' way of life, but lacked the wisdom and the patience that Rafiki has shown helping Simba overcome his fear and guilt. When faced with Simba's frustration over getting mislead at the lake he asks him to look again and helps him realize his destiny. "Look harder" is etched into my memory. Too bad the new version has butchered both damn scenes!
I had the Best time watching y'all! 🤣🤣🤯
Thank you!
It's funny how they were talking about how the imagery and the story inform each other around 13:00 and then they mention Simba's eyes changing color as a continuity error. But I take this as his eye color is matching Mufasa's in this scene as he's staring into the past and confronting his spirit, in order to become more like him and be the King he's meant to be.
There actually are a couple frames of animation error where Mufasa's eyes (yellow) flash white a couple times. But I think this scene with Simba was very intentional
We love to simultaneously praise and hate on movies
@@FilmTheRightThing word I get it lol just funny how those 2 talking points lined up in the video
They're doung LK2 remake ... have fun with that.
It's a prequel directed by Barry Jenkins sooo we'll see
Sounds interesting
You guys are just saying exactly what I was thinking.
It was good, but wasn't brilliant. The cubs are adorable. But I felt that something was missing, but couldn't point out what, you guys just pointed it out.
Thanks! glad we can help! We're gonna be doing that with The Amazing Spider-Man and The Matrix trilogy soon too :)

The original is animation royalty and in my number 1 spot amongst my top 10 favorite Disney movies. I even got to see it in 3D when I was 16. The remake is just garbage. Hearing people react to the remake is 10 times more entertaining than seeing it itself.
too many prequels or sequels end up betraying the original movies . Some stories like Aladdin or Pinocchio don't need sequels
Most movies don’t need prequels or sequels

18:09 No John!!!! 18:10 STOP!!!! 18:25 CEASE!!!! CEASE AND DESIST I SAY!!!!
And what makes 24:55 so much worse is that IJCWtBK Is supposed to represent Simba’s imagination of what it’s like to be king. That child-like wonder is completely gone in the 2019 movie. Absolutely bullshit of a movie, great video!
Yeah it’s heartbreaking, thanks!
I don't really see any reason why you should compare the original lion king with the new one because bees don't exactly try to convince flies why honey tastes better than shit.
You had us there in the first half not gonna lie haha
They completely missed the point before even beginning by wanting to make a ”Leon King” movie feel like a documentary, therefore limiting any creative liberty before even starting to create. I just don't understand, you want it to look like a documentary but you animate talking animals, even in original there were very colorful scenes like in the beginning while Simba sang ”I can't wait to be king”that supposed to make us know that in that moment we are seeing through their childish unrealistic vision. But here we just see them walk and sing without any expression because it must be ”realistic” (then why are the lions talking???).
The 101 Dalmatians adaptation was realistic and worked, the dogs didn't even speak and we still understood what was happening in the scene without someone animating a talking dog. But you can't do the same in The Lion King there must be a dialogue therefore the realism goes to the trash, how is that so difficult to understand, it doesn't matter how good and real your animals look, by aiming to extreme realism while making them sing and talk you can't avoid the entire thing look confusing, weird and just bad.
It’s difficult to understand because Jon Favreau is a moron :)

The discussion of the best Disney movie, in my opinion, is between The Lion King and Beauty and The Beast. Both of them are animated so well. The visuals enhance the story, and they both engage their themes perfectly. Both 10/10 for me.
Our close second after the lion king would be mulan
About the origin stories. I just read they want to make a prequel (Mufasa’s origin story). Sometimes it's not that bad living under a rock...
It’s coming out within the next year or two and it’s directed by Barry Jenkins 🙃
You guys keep saying "he sounds so old". James Earl Jones is 90. No shit 😂
John Favreau should've gotten someone different to voice Mufasa. No one wants to listen to his voice and wonder which retirement home is missing a resident. They replaced literally 90% of the other cast so whats the issue?
Yeah they pointed it out because the lines sounded awful and Mufasa sounded like a grandpa not a tough and intimidating lion father. It’s pointed out because it’s a real problem and shouldn’t have happened.
Timon and Pumbaa are the best things about The Lion King 2019 remake
There’s no best thing about the remake
.....................how? Seth rogans laugh makes me want to commit un-alive in minecraft
Agreed on all fronts on why this remake sucks and was as unnecessary as the 1998 Gus Van Sant Psycho remake! Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go boot up my Nintendo Switch, pop in my copy of Fire Emblem Three Houses, replay the Azure Moon route in that game, and go experience the better Lion King story that came out in the summer of 2019!
“Theres a backstory for everything”
Actually likes the new Lion King movie
?
You almost had a complete sentence. Youre almost there! Just a little more! :D
Wow bruh I never noticed the contrasts between Simba and Scar being exalted....man movies used to be about something.
Some of them still are 2022 is shaping up to be one of the best years for movies in a long time, we’re gonna make a video about it soon!
You guys are so fucking funny idk how u guys haven’t blown up yet
Pretty sure youtube shadow banned us
Not to mention they skipped the part where simba doeznt remember Nala at first
John Oliver may have had the worst performance in this movie, but the award for worst line read easily goes to Chiwetel Ejiofor's "Long live the king". A ridiculously long pause in a very unnatural place in the line, with nothing happening AT ALL during the silence. Absolutely kills the tension in what's supposed to be a huge emotional turning point in the story.
Most of the lines are candidates for worst line in the film tbh
oh man imagine using cgi, a medium where the freedom of camera movement is one of its main advantages over 2d, and then do worse camera work than in the 2d movie lmaooo
It’s so embarrassing
Thank you for voicing my terror.
We feel the terror so you don’t have to
@@FilmTheRightThing LOL. Too late!
