I guess the new idea well is empty.

Once again, the animals look like animated taxidermy.

So is this going to be how Mufasa was wrong and it's not his fault he's an evil villain?

What's a little fratricide now and then? It's not that big of a deal.

The well ran dry many many years ago unfortunately.
If Disney is going to be lazy and uninspired, I would rather they at least create new stories in the universe. Not just retell a story you have already told.

Familiarity is THE draw these days. Whether from books, comics, older movies, or inspirations from other stories, people flock to things they are familiar with. Seems the only possible way to make an original idea popular is to either through animation or with a spin-off.
What was the last truly original live action story that made for a BIG movie release? It's not that people don't have original ideas. It's that studios won't foot the bill to make them.

So instead of the dark, elegant, menacing Scar we got in the original Lion King, we get a scruffy mangy bit of animated taxidermy. Yikes.
I rewatched The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe movie at my aunt's house last Easter. And I couldn't help but compare the lion Aslan in that movie with the various lions in the Lion King remake. Aslan blew them all out of the water. Looked like a real lion, but he could act. He could emote. Made you cry a little, even. Why are all the lions in the Lion King remake so expressionless? It's really awkward, especially during the Hakuna Matata scene. Expressionless animals dancing and singing. Creepy as heck!

Kind of like all the non-breathing people in Mars needs Moms. We know they can do far better if they stopped outsourcing everything to the lowest bidder.

Isn't the movie about Mufasa, not Scar? I mean, I don't know because I haven't looked into it, but the title of the film doesn't seem like it will be about the villain of the The Lion King
The release of Mufasa: The Lion King has been pushed to December 20, 2024.
