Can we talk about the fact that Disney couldn’t do expressive yet realistic lions yet Narnia did it successfully over a decade before it?

1994: Mufasa Dies Simba: NOOOOOOOOO! 2019: Mufasa Dies Simba: meow

"It's a waste of time, but at least it's a... realistic-looking waste of time." Well if THAT doesn't sum up this movie perfectly, I don't know what does.

Those cats are adorable. They have more expression than the whole movie.

I can forgive many things, butchering “Be Prepared” is not one of them.

In the 1994 original: Mufasa's death broke an entire generation. In the 2019 remake: Mufasa's death broke THAT generation into laughter.

“We’re cats, we own everything.” - Chaplin Truth at its Finest, wise Chaplin.

In both versions Scar has the most brutal death of any Disney villain: EATEN ALIVE BY STARVING HYENAS

Movie: “Be prepared!” Me: “For the song to finally start? Yeah, I’m ready.” (Scene ends) God, I hate this remake.

One thing he forgot to mention: the original was made by Disney’s “B” team, the newbies, the interns, the ones not paid attention to. The “A” team worked on Pocahontas. But the “B” team didn’t just say, “Oh well, we’re the lower class, don’t work hard on this.” They gave their all, and we got the original. Don’t work for the money, work cuz you care.

"We're cats. We own everything." "Got it." Legit what my 11-year-old cat taught my 6-month kitten. Now they both prance around like they own the place.

My problems with the remake: 1. Some characters are hard to tell apart; For example, in the original, Simba and Nala as cubs were easy to distinguish because Simba had a saturated shade, while Nala was brighter, and had green eyes. Here, they look far too similar. 2. Characters like Zazu and Pumba look far less colourful than in the original. 3. They took out Scar's "Be Prepared" song.

Remember Aslan from “The lion, the witch and the wardrobe”? He was a realistic looking CGI-lion AND he had great facial expressions. And the movie is from 2005!!!

"Selling drugs to kids also makes you money" DON'T GIVE DISNEY IDEAS

Tamara wrote a better live-action "Lion King" in less than 2 minutes than Disney did in a year.

"Cancel Simba! Cancel Simba!" I wish that was in the actual film I'd have laughed my ass off.

Disney's Lion King 2019: Decided not to sing Be Prepared Lion King Fans: so you have chosen death..

I recently told my husband we should watch this movie and see how bad it is. He reminded me that we HAVE seen it. That's how forgettable this was.

I adore the whole "IT'S NOT REAL!" running gag Critic says, because it's true. The story isn't supposed to be real and yet the filmmakers attempt to defend the new "Lion King" as being "the real version". If the new film really wanted to go for realism, why did they have to make Africa look like poop smeared all over the "set" - Africa SHOULDN'T HAVE to look like that! You know it's bad when "Out of Africa" has a realistic African setting in comparison, with greenery - and for that matter why make the animals look less colorful?
