Page 1 of [VIDEO] The Lion King

Looks stunning

It does look stunning, but I'll be honest, I don't see the point, other than to show off what they can do with CGI these days.

I never really understood the love for the original cartoon, it's ok, so maybe that's why I'm not that interested in this, but it seems to me a bit like that Psycho remake which was done scene for scene exactly the same, this trailer shows at least one scene which they've "shot" the same way but why? It's not a re-imagination of the same story is it, it's the same story, but "live action" instead, because they can?

I think I've got the dvd or blu ray that the girls were given as a present, if they want to to see this new version I'll just chuck the old one on. Now if they want to see Toy Story 4, I'll happily take them to that :)

I've never even seen the original, so I'm also not that interested. But I can see why they remade it... to make a load of money!

The music was good, so assume they are remaking the same music, maybe with some new tracks?

Honestly not sure.
I have seen the original, looooads of times. The kids loved it and used to watch it all the time. The charm though was in the fact it was essentially a cartoon and I'm not sure it'll work as damn near live/CGI mixed.
I haven't seen Jungle book or anything else they've done this with so I've nothing to judge it against.

James Earl Jones should be narrating stuff every waking hour cos we're really going to miss him when he goes.
