Meh. Sure the cgi looks breathtaking but this looks LITERALLY like a shot for shot remake (similar to the very dull and uninspiring Beauty and the Beast live action remake) .
But don't mind me, this shit is gonna be HUGE at the box office. And it certainly looks better than the Aladdin live action remake lol. [Reply]

I grew up watching Lion King and Aladdin as a kid, still remember seeing both in the theatre with my parents and my best friend.
Can't wait to see them both...although I wish someone hotter was playing Jasmine. The actress who is playing her seems a little too plain Jane for me. [Reply]
They’d better not screw this up. The original is about as close to today’s generation as a revered movie like Casablanca etc were to the boomers. [Reply]
I still think the trailer for the original was the high point of trailer history.
I'm sure it was the only time I've experienced a round of applause for a trailer.
The one where they just played the opening song/scene. [Reply]

Nothing else can compare....not even Shrek or Toy Story.
my point earlier was it was more than a movie, that people have an emotional reverence for the original. It touched them, in the good way. Was more than just a few hours of entertainment in the 90’s. [Reply]
