Considering the Hamlet angle, I always figured that Scar being interested in Sarabi made more sense. Or at least, as much sense as any of this can make. :lol:

I'm not really sure how I feel about the Lion King remake. I grew up loving the original movie, and while so far I've loved most of Disney's live action remakes, the Lion King is so special to me that I really don't want the story to be changed or altered in any way. I've been fine with the rest because while I love the original movies, they were never such a big part of my childhood.
Still, I am looking forward to seeing it and all of the characters I grew up with. I just hope it's a good remake.

It's okay, but I'm not over the moon about it. Maybe a tad bit more expression on the faces would have made a difference? The Aladdin teaser had the same problem.
The one Disney movie remake I'm really crossing my fingers for, is The Little Mermaid. I can accept changes to the story; it's really the casting that usually makes it or breaks it for me. I enjoyed BatB, but that icecube they casted as Belle kind of ruined it for me. I hope that the rumors of Disney looking to cast a famous singer as Ariel are wrong; I prefer an unknown talented girl, chosen because she fits the role, not because she has an established following.
At least TLK doesn't have this kind of problem. I am curious to see what they've got planned for Scar though. Apparently they're changing something about him/his story arc?

I'm surprised that Disney didn't have a single commercial for Aladdin during the Super Bowl. Was hoping for something, though to be honest, it seemed like the major movie companies skipped as well.

Remember how someone said that Be Prepared wouldn't be in the movie? Well, perhaps it will be after all:

After the new trailer I am less interested in it than before. It's a shot for shot but the characters look like uncanny valley meets Nat Geo. I couldn't tell Simba from Mufasa. Scar doesn't even have a dark mane even though that's a thing real life looks can have. I am sure it's going to make a load of money, though, so my 12€ isn't needed :biggrin:

My impressions of the new trailer were "Huh. Neat tech demo". The characters look unexpressive and the colours are boring. They couldn't saturate it a little? It's all washed-out, dusty browns.

I was so looking forward to this film, but seeing how unexpressive the lions are and how drab the color scheme makes me sad. I'll still probably see it, but really.

Like...cats can emote? Any of the animators have a cat? Put his ears down or something.

It's been one of my issues with their Junglebook remake: the animals looked dead behind the eyes. Yes it's cool what modern CG can do but why not use it to it's full capacity? Andy Serkis preaches this all the time: the actor is the CG character.

I'll probably end up seeing this movie anyway but I am disappointed on the color palate that we seen so far in the trailers and that Scar is just a really skinny lion that looks almost the same as the other lions.

Simba:  :|

Scar:  Run away and never return.

Simba:  :|  *leaves*


So, yeah, I agree with the people saying he's expressionless.  :P  Don't any of the animators own cats?  They don't just stand there when they're feeling scared or overwhelmed.  Like someone else said, just putting his ears down would do so much.

I also think they should have 'cheated' the photorealism and made his eyes bigger.

The other thing I noticed was there was a bit of the elephant graveyard scene in the trailer, which meant we got to see a bit of young Nala.  And young Nala looks pretty much identical to young Simba.  (Maybe a smidge lighter?)  And, yeah, in real life all lion cubs look pretty similar.  But this isn't real life, it's a movie, and it's kind of important to be able to instantly tell apart two main characters who will be sharing screentime.
