Trailer has been dropped!

The trailer itself didn't show any new scenes that weren't in the original movie - so for all we know, it might as well end up being a shot-for-shot remake.

As for me personally, I didn't see anything to be worried about, but at the same time, nothing to be excited over.

While the lighting may be playing tricks, it seems Simba's mane at the end there has more of an Earth-y tone rather than the crimson color of the animated version. I imagine Mufasa's will looking similar. One wonders how Scar will look if a mere red mane (which honestly isn't that far removed from reality, given the orange/reddish tones we see on some lions) is too outlandish for this take.

I think this is newsworthy enough to be on the front page.



As others have said, the CGI looks pretty breathtaking. Definitely a little bit weird to see these characters as basically live-action, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. As others have mentioned, differentiation between key characters will probably be a minor challenge--I'm interested in seeing how they get around it.

Man, that cast, though.

in 24 hours.

who knows what the number is now.

i’m already seeing the memes on my fb timeline.

People here have been rather civil with their comments on the remake but I have seen plenty of idiotic bs elsewhere that i go to.

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
