Talking animals in a cartoon is fine but when you do these realistic looking animals and then make them talk, it's just weird and stupid.

Like them crappy adverts with talking dogs.

This. The soundtrack might be the only good thing about the movie.

I would understand if the Lion King was originally a Steamboat Willie animation or something.

But the original is literally superior to the remake.

Basically the entire problem is the lack of facial expression. Everything else looks pretty damn good, but no expressiveness is REALLY bad.

Agreed. Simba just isn't emotive at all, at least in this clip. Hopefully the rest of the movie is better, but if Simba looks that lifeless during Hakuna Matata, that doesn't bode well...

There's more to expressiveness than big cartoony smiles. There are tons of subtle animations that could be added to the face that just don't seem to be present in that clip.

I sure as hell don't want to see a completely expressionless lion singing.

If you animate an animal and make it speak like a person but don't show human emotions it just looks weird and cheap.

But it's just so damn boring to look at compared to the animated movie. They're just walking along and singing.

I'm so glad they're jogging and singing with no expression on their faces or in their movements. Thanks to Disney's magic it's indistinguishable from real life.

Well yeah. Because people we pay to go see it to. Then hate it.

Theres nothing that can be done about that. Even shit movies make millions due to this. But the problem is when people start using these figures to believe that the movie was well received.

Yeah, at least with the live action remakes, human characters might be able to bring more nuanced acting/expressions, even though the energy and over-the-top expressiveness of the animation is gone. With The Lion King, they are going from traditional animation to... worse animation.

I'm not going to criticize Disney for making this because they're not going to leave hundreds of millions of dollars on the table, but no one is going to actually prefer this over the original.

If Disney really wanted to impress me with live action, they should have used live animals to re-enact most of the movie. That would have actually been a feat. I'm sure they could have done it if they really wanted to. Instead it just looks bland. They're just making the same movie we've seen 100 times as kids except with realistic animals, except they're not realistic, they just look like CG.

They shouldn't have gone full realism. This stuff only works for body doubles in live action.

A lot of exaggeration would have really been appealing and convincing. This is a lion, meerkat and warthog singing and dancing for fucks sakes.

The whole point of cartoon animals is that they give life and character to animals that are otherwise not easy to interpret by just looking at them. In that video, they look closer to actual animals miserably singing something with no facial expression. I mean if they insisted they could have just made it so that they were animated animals that weren't realistic (or aiming to be), thus providing larger potential for expression.
