Wow, im still taking it all in, this really hasn't hit me yet, I thought earlier I was hearing teeny tiny rumor's about this possibility, then I thought awh thats just wishful thinking, but I wonder if they ever will, I had a feeling they would. But I am on board with it because as I have said before, The more TLK the better, some of us fans want more out of the movie we love because the lion king world is beautiful and I wish I could live in it, And if means experiencing a new version of the original then so be it.just take me to a Africa where there is Pride Rock
I'm getting tired of people complaining about these remakes. Look at what happened to Lion Guard, look at where we are at today with it, Most fans are riding it smooth and steady, and then there are the others who flat out hate it, well haters will hate. Now as the lot of us have mention while talking about TLG before it was released, alot of us said (including me) when it comes to Disney, its out with the old in with the new, and that goes for the movie animators and producers, I had to learn to except that the old movie makers and its hand drawn cartoon animation making of the 90s are gone, and they arnt coming back because they arnt getting any younger! yes I hate how Disney never keeps the original producers but we are not in charge of Disney, and technology is only gonna get better every year no matter what we say or want. We all need to have a reality check and remind each other that CHANGE-IS-HARD! (rafiki aaaaah change is good), nothing lasts forever! and it was hard to accept the changes with what they did with TLG, well its gonna happen again with this one. For all these live action/CGI remakes that Disney has done, neither one has been EXACTLY the same as the animated films, and thats exactly whats gonna happen to this one and you know it if you saw every other remake film like I have. Now the same goes for the song writers, in all the other remakes no song or voice or style of the song was the same as the original, its gonna be different in this one too. Besides why would people want the same exact story just like the original with just a different look...not me. Now I will say yes im sure Zimmer was beautiful with his work but when I think Zimmer I think... meh....Now Lebo M. Im all about his beautiful African voice, (love his voice more in Rythem of the Pridelands) and well if there not going to bring him back for TLG then why bother hoping they will for this film. But I just hope they stick with the African based musical culture vibe that we got from our originals, because lion king made me fall in love with African music. Now what I DONT want them to do is make it a musical, im getting so sick and tired of Musical films like they did with that Strang Magic movie and what they are doing with Beauty and the beast, Im still seeing Beauty and the Beast but I HATE how they turned into a musical, GRRR cause im a beauty and the beast fan for different reasons. Anyway but then I remembered they CANT turn it into a musical, cause TLK is ALREADY a musical . Anyway cant wait to hear more future news on this.
