This is probably the only sequal ( or prequal ) that I've ever looked forward to. It looks funny. Plus, a new Elton John/ Tim Rice song! I nearly fainted when I read that. This looks promising!:sohappy:

Yeah, me too. I liked LK11 and BTBEnchanted Xmas only after seeing it. LK 1 & a half looks pretty good. I'm not holding my breath, but I'm not loathing this film either.

Yea, I know they have bad animation, but every preview I have seen shows great animation. The animation on Disney Channel is bad, but I watch that stuff all the time, and its still really funny. I dont know why Disney didnt just (if the animation is bad) get it to the same level as the animation from Jungle Book 2, and release this one in theaters. I would most def. be going to see that.

Not to change the subject to much, but I watched The Lion King last night, and I was wondering why the animators chose to draw realistic animals during Circle of Life, and then drew cartoony ones during the rest of the movie

Actually, I was wondering kinda the same thing but about 2 different parts :lol:

I was wondering why they drew all realistic looking animals throughout the movie except during "Just Can't Wait To Be King" and all the animals look like Geometry class.

Disney 90s classics always had the "out there" scenes.

Mermaid: Under the Sea
Beauty/Beast: Be Our Guest
Aladdin: Friend Like Me
Lion King: Just Can't Wait

And now, Mickey's Philharmagic. :lookaroun

Oh no, I disagree, Jungle Book 2 and Return to Neverland Animation was no where near being fit to be released in theaters. It was still Television animation. That being said, I am actually Looking forward to LK1.5 The same cast and animation quality looks pretty good. It looks really funny, too, I'm pretty excited!

Yeah, but there are different levels of TV animation. I think the animation on Family Guy and especially Futurama is awesome. I really can't watch some of the Disney TV animation. You'd think they would have been able to put the Florida animation dept to good use working on the TV stuff instead of firing them.

For "I Just Can't Wait to be a King", they decided to make a fully styalized version of the animal kingdom to show the child-like perspective of young Simba. This scene is more comic driven than the rest of the movie. These types of scenes focus more on its colorful pallete and unnatural shapes to give it a more "fun" look. Its pretty much the same with the Timon and Pumba scenes, too. :)

"Yup! Yup! Yup!"

I really wonder if that would work...I mean, I am sure there are many talented artists working at Disney TV animation with plenty of potential (I'm sure many of DIsney's top artists may have had their start there). I just wonder if the quality has more to do with how much time and money the studio offers these artists.

Can anyone fill us in on that part?

I pre-ordered my copy at the Disney Store last night. I think it's going to be great.

By the way, I asked the manager of our local Disney Store if there were plans to close their store, and she said absolutely not. They are a profitable store, and have SEVERAL years left on the lease. She is very confident they will not close. I told her I was glad, but worried because of the other stores closing. She said she isn't worried at all. Yea!!

87trfjergiweof493. Sorry about that, my jaw just dropped on the key board. I cannot beleive that they're putting so much effort and love into a direct to video sequel. I must be dreaming. Some on pinch me! A sequel that will actually be good....:eek: :sohappy:

I'm not going to hold my breath on this one. All the straight to video junk I have seen had really poor animation. And they have the nerve to charge full price for them :mad:

But, if it turns out to be good I won't complain :animwink:
