Possible new Lion King movie?

[Animal of the Wild]

I'm sorry about this all, but I have to remove what I said. It was just stupid.

Kids don't love the hyenas the same way and they never have. Many kids see the hyenas simply as Scar's stupid henchmen. It's simply not profitable for Disney to make a movie about them and it never was. Another movie at all at this point would be risky for them and it's not worth it on a financial level. You have to remember that we're talking about the business world.

I really wish I could just remove these posts I made.

You're missing the point. Kids like Timon and Pumbaa for exactly that reason. They're silly and Simba is the good guy. Being his sidekicks, and being silly, makes them cool to most kids.

I simply thought that the hyenas were funny enough characters to make for a movie of their own, but I guess not. Oh well.

That's why most kids don't like them. Simple as that.

So yeah, I'm just trying to fill in my old posts I'm ashamed of.

I really don't know what to put here that I haven't already said in this thread. Ugh, if there was some way to remove old posts...

I have three things to point out about that post.

#1: It's a double post, which you just did in another thread too. Double posting in such a short amount of time is technically against the rules. to avoid getting into trouble, you should go back and click the "edit" button in your post (which is in varying positions depending on which theme you're using).

#2: In that post, there is a grammatical mistake that majorly bugs me.

[quote]I find it sad the younger viewers aren't able to appreciate the hyenas. Because there go are chances of getting a movie about them.[/quote]

That should read, "I find it sad that the younger viewers aren't able to appreciate the hyenas, because there go our chances of getting a movie about them."

And it's not just that that makes Disney reluctant to make another movie, as I said already. Two sequels is plenty and if they add more, especially this much later, it would probably not sell well no matter who the main characters are.

#3: Timon and Pumbaa have something the hyenas will never have that appeals to more than just the kids. Repeat after me: Hakuna Matata.


I like the hyenas too, and I don't even consider them to be villains, but there's almost definitely not going to be another TLK movie. Not one about them, nor one about Scar's and Mufasa's childhood, nor one about Kovu and Kiara's cubs. Disney has no intentions of making such a movie and it would be too risky for them to do. TLK will live on through rereleases and TLKoB. And of course, through the fandom.

Like I said, if there was some way to remove idiotic posts I made...
