It's official, there's gonna be a tlk remake.

Well, if we are to go by the remakes that came out - I am not going to get myself too excited over the TLK remake. Let's be honest: in both The Jungle Book, and Beauty and the Beast, the songs were not a strong suit. Considering that the songs and music is one of the, if not the, biggest reasons why I got into The Lion King in the first place, I am going to withhold judgment for now.

The most important thing about the remake - simba needs his marvelous mane parting. You can't do a tlk remake and have the star looking drab, he must be fab!

ok dont get your expectations high, look at beauty and the beast, they followed 80% of the story like but they didnt make the beast look exactly as he is in the movie

Dahling, Simba is the main event, and the main event needs a mane that is stylish, something that makes him looks exceptionally pretty, because he is the most purr-fect kitty!

Thanks for the link! I can't wait to hear more about it.

Also, has anyone seen the Beauty and the Beast remake? This obviously isn't a discussion thread for that, but I think recent remakes are a good indication of the type of quality we'll get for The Lion King. I really liked Beauty and the Beast, and thought the new stuff they added were nice additions.

Ive heard one person say its absolutely amazing but she is the only 1 person I've ever heard comment from.
Ive seen a clip and i wasn't that impressed from that. (not a fair judgment from the 10 seconds I've seen) It was part of the "Gaston My what a guy" song (no idea on the proper song name) but maybe its me but it felt wrong. The other bit was Mrs Potts and it kinda looked a bit Annoying orange to me......
Will give it a fairer watch but I'm not going to the cinema I don't think.

Understand EJ that not everyone thinks that simba is hot

[Elton John]

I didn't say that.

I imagine "real" mufasa looking something like that.

Simba maybe like that.

That song was actually my favorite in the movie lol. I get what you mean by annoying orange though, eeek. I wasnt sold on the designs of the objects when i saw the commercials/merch, but I thought they worked in the context of the movie.
The originals of Beauty and the Beast and Jungle book were never THAT important to me, so I never felt like they had something big to live up to, and I was pleasently surprised by both of them. I'll probably be far more critical with The Lion King though. If it's not absolutely perfect I'll notice

Don't you mean "the mane event"?

No, I am not sorry.
