The charm was in using an animated medium to have human emotions projected onto animals. It's just sterile to have a bunch of 3D emotionless animals running around.

It's not WOKE enough

https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/disneys-live-action-lion-king-review-repeating-his/1900-6417213/

"Why the "circle of life" has a monarchy with absolute power over its subjects--not to mention why the Pride Lands needs a king at all (how about a queen this time around?)--are ideas that never get explored beyond the scope of what the original bothered to do. The Lion King is a simplistic, outdated fable when it comes down to it."

"It doesn’t help that the characters in some cases have been rendered with such realism that they have lost all human expression on their faces. Maybe that’s the idea — to not anthropomorphize them too much and to stay grounded in zoological authenticity. But they’re still talking, and singing, only now their faces are inexpressive; it’s a weird disconnect"

I'm surprised that this happened. Favreau is not talked about a lot but he is probably one of the best directors these days. His Jungle Book update was amazing.

I don't get how Disney didn't start doing tests and realize that the movie doesn't make sense. Because its pretty obvious watching 30 seconds of it that it just doesn't work.

Really interesting that the Jungle Book comes off as amazing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWu5FAJrUpQ

And Lion King comes off as stale (and rumor is Timon and Pumba come out the best)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UQV89DQTWo

The kid helps a lot but I also think just the style is different. There is still a lot of style in the Jungle Book while the Lion King is sterile and striving to be accurate.

Timon and pumbaa are queer little creatures but damn Timon is a little over the top
