Is anyone else all ready preparing themselves to relive mufasas death all over again? Bc I'm trying to be ready.

Stop remaking things that were already perfect, Disney. I guess a bunch of people will go see this anyway, but you really shouldn't. Every other "live-action" (CGI animated) remake has been a bland trash-heap compared to the originals so far. The technology may be better now, but the technique isn't. Where's the use of color?

The remake might be good, but the 1994 one was original and it was art. It cannot be replaced.

More realistic is not automatically better...

I don't understand why a liveaction of this is necessary. Characters like Timon & Pumba or the hyeanas are too cartoon-y, they're goofy type of charas I just can't picture having the same effect on a real animal.... I- Sersiously, why this liveaction?

they should have never made a new one, the 1994 one was just fine

There is something wrong with Disney when they remake their own movies.

What’s so special about this? Any kid and their mothers can make a video like this. I look forward to the remake, especially because I was raised with the original. But still, there is nothing special about this comparison. Just a normal comparison. No internet winner or however you call it in the holy book of boredpandaism

I know I'm in the minority (alone maybe?) but I never liked speaking animals, be it in animation or movies. The only exception was the Lion King and I was really surprised. I don't think I'll like it with realistic animals ...

Omg Mufasa´s death is gonna make me cry AF

Still wish Jeremy Irons was voicing Scar...

I don't get why they keep calling this live action. It's still animation, there's nothing live about it. They've just changed it from traditional animation to CGI animation. Unless they're using real live animals, it's not live action. And who actually wants a more realistic scene of Mufasa's death???? Who would watch the original and go - 'you know this would be better if it looked realistic' No one! No one would say that!

They're so much out of ideas that they start to remake EVERYTHING?! God damn it, let masterpieces be!

Here is a little fun fact... The Lion King remake cannot be live action without one human in it. The reason Jungle Book was live action was simply cause of one person. MOWGLI!!!!

I prefer the flat animation, the 2019 looks scary

I'm looking forward to it! Loved the original. In response to GiveMeASloth, though, NOT looking forward to Mufasa's death, but at least this time I'll know it's coming. Had no idea the first time, so there I was, crying my eyes out...

1994 still beats the new one!

YAY

I can't get over the cub's baby belly, when he's being held up, in the newer version. The older version doesn't have that detail drawn in. It's a little thing, but still striking.

At least they didn't destroy one more of our beautiful children stories as they did in many other movies.

I prefer the 94 version.

i havea little orange tabby cat who is also named simba and i lift him up just like in the lion king everytime the circle of life comes on lol

Okay, so I was talking to my mom and I mentioned the live action Lion King and she asked me what qualifies as live action. Does it just take realistic cgi to be called a ‘Live Action’? Most movies that are called live action have at least one real thing or a person, but I’m pretty sure this was just made in the studio. What do you guys think that the definition of live action should be?

This is perfect! This is the first time fans will get the original, but more modern. Movies are always trying to change things up and to be clever by derailing the original book, etc. I can't wait.

Beautiful I can't wait to see the new one, but I don't think it will ever be a great as the old one

It's like the 1994 version was just a storyboard for the cgi artists.

Silently screaming at work *-*

I liked old one better.

It's not an absolutely, perfectly faithful reproduction. The Disney logo was gold instead of white. 0/10.

i love the 2019 version

I'm really interested in, and miss 2D animation, and I still love the original as one of my favourite Disney movies... and I hate that Disney keeps re-making their old films, as besides The Jungle Book they've been pretty pointless. But f**k if I'm not totally going to see this movie anyway.

I am not prepared for the amount of tears I will shed, i have to watch it though. I'll share stocking up on tissues.

Ohhh they finally increased the graphics, but I still like the original better

can't wait!

I actually want to see it. I've seen Mufasa's death so many times that I'm become desensitized to it. And compared to watching Littlefoot's mother die, it's never been anywhere near as sad.

Well done, Disney, again! Beauty and the Beast, Christopher Robin, now Lion King! <3 Can't wait for yet another masterpiece! I'm so proud again the company I work at will create dubbing for that!

Then what's the point?

Only thing that really bothers me: the original drawn characters all had a very distinctive individual look to them. One could place Simba and Mufasa side by side and easily tell them apart. But CGI "realistic" Lions look very much the same as each other. Oh well... no matter. I'm looking forward to seeing it and reliving the magic of the first time around.

The problem with these realistic reboots of cartoons is that the humor isn't updated, only the visuals are. With the realistic look, they'll have to make it a little less funny to work. High hopes though.
