How Disney Decimated Lion King

Lion King 2019 was the worst animated film ever made. How is it also the highest grossing? Let's jump into an hour long analysis video that explains why in excruciating detail. Together we're untangle the entrenched web of terrible filmmaking. When people say "It's unfair to compare it to the original" we'll stubbornly snuff our fingers into our ear holes.
The circle of life scene is garbage juice and the songs are recreated without any love. Simba is a little brat, Nala is a big nag, Rafaki should have been a chimp, Mufasa looks like a shy football, Timon and Pumbaa... Actually I quite like Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner.... But that's the only thing I like!
I like Childish Gambino (Donald Glover), I'm partial to Beyonce and of course I have my respect for Hans Zimmer and for Disney in 90s. But I hate everything about the way they've been used to hijack our childhood nostalgia, bottle it and sell it to us.
Jon Favreau was hired to direct the remake of the classic animated Lion King 1994. He's the guy that directed Chef. Have you seen Chef? I did. It just made me hungry. He also directed The Jungle Book (2015). Why Disney keep remaking their films into live action we'll never know. Oh wait I do know and I explain why in this video.
They remade Cinderalla, Aladdin, Mulan, Dumbo, 101 Dalmatians, The Goofy Movie, Lilo and Stitch, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Black Cauldron, King Arthur and some other ones too on the list... Loads and loads of them. When is this going to stop? Do we all want to revert back to our childhoods to when life was easy? Is that what it is?!
This video took over six months to finish, it is sponsored by. no one. It was written by Max Bardsley and Samuel Jones. With 'Alternative Circle Of Life' audio by Ollie McAuley.
Thanks to our patrons who continue to support us even though we are terrible creators. Peace and love 💓 💖 💕 💘

The worst part is that animals can actually show emotion through their faces. Disney just didn’t animate it.

Yeah, that bothered me a lot too! The animals all looked so realistic, but they didn't EMOTE in the slightest. They're faces were as animated as plastic toys and it meant all the emotion had to be carried solely by the voice acting and music and it just... Wasn't.

Because Disney knew the internet would explode in anger if they straight up announced a Lion King CGI remake. I remember back when there were rumors of a “live action remake” most people assumed it would mean a live action version with real life actors. Disney is not dumb, they know this is a CGI animated movie but by the time the cat was out of the bag, the public was parroting the “life action version” bs Disney put out there.

exactly, if they did that i’d totally buy it as a huge fan of the lion king, i even decided to give the live action lion king a chance and my god, it’s downright horrible, not only do they not emote even though animals can emote, not as much as the actual old animation could but they still can, but even the lines that used to have such feeling behind them mean nothing in this live action movie, in the scene where mufasa is grasping onto the cliff and asked for scars help he used to have a ton of feeling and say “Scar....Brother...Help Me!” with an actual look of fear, in the live action one he just says “scar help me” with no emphasis at all and nothing but a look of meh on his face. it downright sucks, because i honestly wanted to love this live action movie, as somebody who still loves the original so much, i watched it endlessly as a kid to the point back then i could’ve told you everything about that movie, legit everything, i wanted my fav movie to come back and be enjoyed by a new group of people, but honestly they could’ve just rereleased the old movie in theaters for a couple nights and made just as much, like literally, they could’ve just done that and boom, same amount they made back then.

The whole original stampede sequence is a masterpiece of film making.

The fact they build Simba and Mufasa relationship as father and son so well before just makes the whole sequence a nightmare to watch, cuz you know what's gonns happen.

The corporate shakeup that Roy Disney started to oust Eisner ended up with someone who was a more competent version of him. Iger is essentially Eisner without Eisner's ego or his failings. He merely magnified what Eisner started and made them his focus. What Iger brought to the table on his own is his almost superhuman skill for negotiating. Combine that with clear focus on acquisitions and franchises, and you have an explosive astronomic growth that turned Disney into its present state. Eisner's quote about making history vs making money is very much Iger's guiding principle, just with Iger's own spin on it. If anything Iger is a perfect crystallization of what Eisner had envisioned all those years ago. Eisner Disney is a cynic who wears the mask of sincerity. But with Iger, that cynic has subtly taken off his mask and nobody is any wiser for it.

There's too many frames per second. The motion capture capability of the 'camera' is stronger than that of our eyes. Our eyes can tell the difference between colour changing (which is all that 'motion' on a screen is) and an object moving. That's why motion blur needs to be added to animation and shouldn't be excluded from live action. But because of the higher frames per second of recordings, images are becoming clearer and motion blur is disappearing. Goodbye video realism, hello photo realism.

It’s sad what Disney has turned into. They used to give a damn about the audience, they used to create such imaginative and unique universes that would pull you in. Disney used to put so much love and money into their work not mainly to profit, but mainly to appeal to the audience down to a deeper level. They took risks and didn’t really care what it costed as long as they could reach a goal that would create something that we would remember for generations to come. Now, Disney does not care about us, the audience. They only care about exploiting nostalgia and manipulating us for their monetary gain. They take few risks, and the risks they take always result in their monetary gain. They hide their intent under a blanket of beautiful graphics and great sound design... But even then, the greed shows through to people who are familiar with the old Disney. They butcher storylines, take away charm that their films had, censor this and that to be friendly to certain big buck countries, and destroy franchises with nonsensical lazily thrown together attempts at stories. I miss the old Disney. I miss the times when they cared about the audience and viewed them as people with personalities instead of just numbers to use for money.

This was my oldest son's FAVORITE movie, since it came out when he was three and spilled coke all over my pants but loved the movie for another 12 years, 9 months and 3 days after which he passed on from this life. In his honor his brother and I went to this remake version and from the second(maybe third if I'm in a good mood)note of the opening song it just lost it with a different rhythm. The rest of the movie was off pace through the next to last note of the end credits. I almost walked out, a few times. I was even tempted to spill soda on my pants, but I endured it until the end. The next day we broke out the original version and renewed our good memories of masterful art. Hopefully they do not ruin Tarzan, my son's second favorite movie and a movie where Phil Collins OWNED the soundtrack. Are we to the point of saying, "gone are the days"?

Tbh realism is kinda boring. Don't get me wrong, objectively realistic art and media are very well crafted and it has puts so much effort I can't help but respect it. But in my opinion, a stylistic choice feels more personal, like you know this artist's way of thinking and their personality shines through within the brush strokes, their passion of their colorful views, and their eccentric way of telling the world filled with wonder. I wanna see art and media as way to escape from reality, like an experience that you can only get from an artist's hand rather than the lens of a camera. Animation encapsulates the idea of immersion, the window to a different world yet we can see it. Physics doesn't matter and if Anatomy can bend beyond its limits, I don't care.

Here's an awesome video essay regarding the subject: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j96IfNiH2trYlJs.html. A fantastic quote from philosopher CS Lewis from the video: "Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

I absolutely adore video games, but most video game stories aren't that great. Most just imitate other forms of art like movies and assume that's good enough. Metal Gear and Final Fantasy are standouts for having involved stories, but they do so by forcing you to watch 30-minute cutscenes, so they might as well just be movies at that point. But they can't do that because they know their stories aren't actually movie-quality. I definitely think video games have the *potential* to tell truly artful stories, I just don't think they're quite there yet.

A lion who grew up eating bugs and no meat will have even less muscle mass than Scar and probably bald patches, mange, etc. Scar should've won no contest. In the animated fantastical version this can be forgiven and overlooked for the benefit of the story. Favreau wants it so realistic this should've been the new logical ending.

That's who much of this stuff is being made for, and the strategy seems to be a profitable one. People who remember how better the originals were compared to their generic copies can rail all they want, but these remakes are far surpassing their source material at the box office, even though people are only lukewarm about them.

The more relevant question is how much joy, wonder and excitement does it inspire as a stand alone product. The animation will gracefully age for decades where as CGI ages quicker. Comparing the music is like listening to a great band or CD and then listening to “shopping mall” rip off or “karaoke classics disc 15”. What will Disney do when they have made live version of their whole catalogue? they already did most of the major ones people cared about. Why not make a good version of King Arthur or a Merlin epic? Do something that has rarely been done like Beowulf, Greek mythology, Only one I actually wanted to see is Mulan and that looks awful I loved the Chinese version of that film came out 2001 I think as a reaction to the Disney version so the need for a live action film was already pretty marginal but would have liked to see a Kung fu version with the songs in it because “make a man out of you” is actually a good song for that story. But it’s 2020 so Mulan will win “because strong independent woman”

I hated how when Disney was doing adds for this movie and everyone kept saying it’s “live action” like no it’s not!! It’s literally a animated film still. The animation in the jungle book 2016 was way better bc the animals actually had way more expressions and the animation in the lion king 2019 is so lifeless and bland looking. Every background looks so ugly to look at and the environment looked nothing like how Africa actually looks, and Africa is a beautiful place but this movie made it look like a wasteland.

Jungle Book is also better because the characters were interacting with each other, same with Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion King 2019 didn't have the same energy, and that was hard to tell the lions from each other, and i still don't understand, why they need to even do the remakes of movies who worked perfectly as animations, while TLK 2019 is also animated, the animations were poor, it feels like a supposed 'realistic' game when the characters shows the same expressions, from the beginning, to the end.

Honestly if "realism" was his goal, he should've realized the reality of the movie; THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE! Rafiki would be torn to shreds for even touching Simba in the beginning. Every single animal would not give a shit about "Kings", they'd be more focused on survival & not getting eaten by Leopards, Lions, Hyenas, Cheetahs, etc. Animals wouldn't be speaking in English, they would be making animal sounds. Simba wouldn't have saved Pumba, he would've helped eat him. Lions do not make friends with Food. And Scar? If he were defeated, he'd be dead or forced to live somewhere else, cause Mufasa would've tried to kill him for being in his territory. The reason the original is more loved than this garbage is because they weren't focused on reality, they were focused on telling a story using fantasy, things that are not real and wouldn't happen in real life. Favro tried to make documentary and failed to realize that animals in documentaries aren't doing anything for us, they are simply living & surviving, it we who make up these stories for them regardless if they are true or not. It's like watching people with your binoculars & making up shit based on your own opinions, your opinions are not fact, and what you imagine is their story is very likely not their actual story. So what if Rafiki can't realistically do this or that, in real life he wouldn't be a talking shaman like character, he'd be a FUCKING MONKEY.

Quite honestly, when talking about Disney movies and remakes I don't give the blame to the directors anymore, because to me it always feels like they're just following directions imposed by the studios. When watching Aladdin, it never felt to me like watching a Guy Ritchie movie, just like Dumbo doesn't feel like a Tim Burton movie. Disney just sucks away any glimpse of creativity from talented directors just for the sake of having their name on the poster, because every movie feels the same.

They don't want story tellers with unique visions, they want factory workers to assemble the pieces that are coming down the belt in time for the products to be packaged and sold.

Just a nitpick, but Nala's line "He's holding back, he's hiding - but what I can't decide." doesn't even make sense in the remake. In the original, that line is there because Simba blames himself for Mufasa's death, and it's assumed that no one in the pride knows the truth of what happened, so that's part of Simba's internal conflict that Nala is not privy to. BUT IN THE REMAKE SHE SAYS THEY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. So, wtf else could she be confused about? Just another reason why none of the individual parts of the remake work together as a whole.

Though CG character faces are finally to the point where they're emoting without any weird uncanniness, I still find hand-drawn characters more expressive and attractive. They can make unique little expressions that are personal to the animator without having to worry if their muscular rigging is up to the task. They can break model when it's convenient for some good ol' squash and stretch for larger than life movement. And the limited palette for their cel shading makes the characters pop against a fully shaded background.

Not that I would mind the realistic journey of Simba as he matures and joins a coilition and enters a homosexual relationship with one of the other males, or a story about Nala deciding she wanna be a rogue for a few years before deciding if she wanna be a pride lioness or a rogue for life.

I think in general though he's right. Videogames are still a relatively young medium for storytelling. Yes there are some great examples that stand out like The Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption, God of War, Ori etc. but I'd still say they're still very much in a vast minority. Not saying that good storytelling in movies is awfully plentiful either, but storytelling tropes in movies have been established and studied for almost a century. Videogames are still trying to figure it out, often not going much further than just emulating cinema in well acted and produced cut scenes and set pieces with ultra realistic graphics. And then the majority of them don't even tell stories, which is fine because games don't need a compelling story to be fun, whereas with movies, even the worst ones, kinda need a story to hold it all together.

This is what happend: The director wanted to make a wildlife documentary, but had already signed the contract with Disney. He doesn't care about The Lion King, he's probably never seen it.

If all animated movies are just going to look like hours long adds for Uncharted and Assassins Creed for no reason I’ll lose my shit. Disney has forgotten that one of the best points of animation is that it allows you to show things that can’t happen in reality.

Do they even remember their roots?? The point of virtual storytelling? The point of even _*telling a fucking STORY*_?!?! It’s infuriating how ironic this BranD is today, using their past achievements as nostalgia bait instead of a set for expectations and a strive to do better... are they even a studio anymore?? They just feel like an empire.. the childlike joy has been stripped from my subconscious whenever I see their name because of the lack of passion and magic in their cash-grabbing disappointments. It’s sad, really...

Pretty much; imo the most memorable "kids" movies in the last years whereMoana, Coco, HTTYD 3, Frozen 2... all full of wonder and not afraid to really go down into imagination fuel. Can't wait to watch Soul, that one also looks super promising.

I really appreciate this video; How much detail you go into when giving good critique and comparing shots, but you had me a little lost when you said "Videogames aren't known for their storytelling" and then showed a couple of game franchises best known for exactly that. I know games aren't *all* about storytelling like movies, TV, and most books are, but it's still a very large component in many titles today, and I feel like it was a bit of a cheap shot. Otherwise, great piece! I watched it all the way through and really enjoyed your commentary.
