I've also changed the topic title, by the way
I mean, in a 'real' lion pride Simba wouldn't be being trained to be the next king, either . . . He'd get a talk like "Someday, Simba, I'll drive you away when you reach adolescence and become a threat to me." I've always thought complaints about Disney lions not acting like 'real' lions are pretty questionable.
If I remember rightly, Lion King is based around the concept of Hamlet
Kimba.. it was inspired by Kimba.
I've only ever seen the original Lion King. Is the sequel worth seeing?

My concern with "live action remakes" isn't the fact that it's "not new" or that it's unnecessary (which tbf it's totally unnecessary), but the fact that it's... live-action. It encourages the mindset that no one is allowed to like cartoons, cartoons are only made for the entertainment of young children, and never as an art form; Sophisticated Movies™ can only be live-action, because cartoons are for babies.

I thought The Lion King 2 was weak. The idea that half the lionesses liked Scar's rule not only had no supporting evidence in the first film (because it's a blatant retcon) but it undermines the idea that Scar's getting more and more angry and unstable because people might fear him but they definitely don't LIKE him. Also it's hard to have any sympathy for lionesses who thought Scar's rule was good and then sat around in a gorge eating termites . . . ? Like, just because they were banned from the Pridelands doesn't mean they couldn't have walked the other direction and found somewhere to live that had grass and animals.
If you add the "Lion Guard" and Kion in to the story it gets even more complicated. Ponyfan
