[quote="Gaze"]I hate to be the negative one but damn I’m really not feelin this /~: I hate how drab and dull the colors are. the CoL scene is supposed to be beautiful, joyous, and awe-inspiring but this version looks more sad and eerie to me. I just don’t really see the appeal of hyperrealism at the expense of all the original’s life and color. I do think Rafiki looks pretty neat but baby Simba looks off to me, and not feelin adult Simba as just a regular ole normal realistic looking lion (but we did only get a small glimpse of him, so I don’t wanna judge too soon, and maybe it’ll feel different when we actually get to see him speaking & emoting).
that said I knew from the start I probably wouldn’t be into the visuals of this movie.... I’m just looking forward to the voice cast (namely Eric Andre) and the possibility of the lore/story being expanded upon in some interesting way. so I’ll try to keep being optimistic about that and not get too hung up on the visual side of things..... just a lil hard to hold back the disappointment rn[/quote]
Ok let me ask you this from someone who studies nature and watches alot of Wildlife television. Do you love Africa? do you watch raw nature shows, if you did you shouldnt be complaining at all, This is the real life version of Africa, the real life raw nature people, this is NOT cartooned! the colors in nature are dull, we dont live in a cartooned world. This is how Africa looks, nature isnt perfect, thats how Mother nature intended it to be, those brighter cartoon colors are more for the young viewers this is the grown up version now. get with the new technology. The old drawing animation is dead. I love Africa and its culture With the beautiful acacia trees, they are one of the many symbols of African spirit to me. In the animated film Rafiki uses a gourd, but this remake will be different weather we like it or not. Here Rafiki is using some kind of root, and I would LOVE to learn more about this root in the future. This here has got to be the Pride Rock den that Simba is emerging from, and as you can see what he is stepping on here is some kind of rock sand, and its got to be the same thing from the rock sand of Pride Rock that Rafiki uses in the Animated version. and THAT is one of the many beautiful things about nature and Africa and here Mufasa's paw print is just beautifully imprinted into that rock sand as Simba adorably steps into it. Now this has got to be the most impressive thing I have ever seen, the FUR! THE DETAIL! they did a really great job of the fur! JUST LIKE how it should look on a real lion, soft looking, and here you can see Simba is much darker then his mother Sarabis, Sarabis is much lighter, there is just one difference about Simba, there is no short tiny tuft on the head, we get a simple normal cub look just how it should be, but thats ok how could we not tell this is obviously going to be Simba. And of course they are not aloud to use real animals for film making its just too dangerous, and animals deserve to stay free and in the wild, so they are getting alot of applause and credit for the effort they put into this film and we have yet to see more. Now with that roar, there is a big difference between the roar in the animated and how a lion roars in the wild. I have always wondered and imagined what it would be like in real life, now we will finally see what Lion King looks like in real life law Africa. CANT WAIT!
