Looks pretty good.

IronSoldier · November 22, 2018 11:09PM

I will most definitely watch this.

Is it sad that I haven't seen that show in a decade, and I still remember the theme song.

Stupid

2000sGuy · November 25, 2018 3:43PM

Doesnt look like it has anything different to offer besides a realistic setting.

Why?

BeastlyCrawdad · November 25, 2018 6:58PM

I am looking forward to the realistic fight between Simba and Scar. Especially after seeing the awesome fight between the animals in The Jungle Book.

I’m not 100% on board with it being remade. The original is my favourite disney movie

And not bringing back Jeremy Irons is criminal

Yeah, I am sad about a few of the casting choices.

MyLittleGreenFriend · November 28, 2018 6:05PM

I will see it, but this is the biggest cash grab in movie history.

MyLittleGreenFriend · November 28, 2018 6:06PM

The graphics look amazing though.

westgreateight8 · November 29, 2018 4:46PM

i've just got a feeling that they are going to screw up somehow other than that

mastery0ta · December 18, 2018 5:08AM

Simba is too darn cute! I'm gonna steal a lion egg from the zoo

BeastlyCrawdad · April 11, 2019 9:58PM

I know I shouldn't bump old threads but they had a new trailer.

ZephanUnbound · April 11, 2019 10:06PM

Should have brought back Jeremy Irons to voice Scar imo. The new actor just doesn't do the character justice imo. Some character are just so iconic that they can't be recast, and I feel like Scar is one of those characters. They brought back James Earl Jones for Mufasa, so why not bring back Jeremy Irons as well?

I'm also concerned by the rumors from a few months back that Scar's song, Be Prepared, had been cut from the movie completely because of the "offensive" scene of the Hyena's goosestep marching below Scar on the cliff. Why not just alter the scene to remove the offensive ***** references instead of cutting the song entirely? Be Prepared is the best out of all the Disney villain songs imo, if it's really not in the movie I will be majorly disappointed.

Yeah, I agree. but I am also super excited to see what Jon can do.

The worst thing is that Jeremy was apparently interested in returning, and they just glossed over him *sigh*

Also, who is Jon? Scar is being voiced by Chiwetel Ejiofor in this remake.

Jon Favreau, the director.

Mastahpeece · April 12, 2019 4:15PM

Just looks like a shot for shot remake of the original with inferior voice acting

Ah. Well I'm not worried about his directing at all, he directed the Jungle Book remake which was great, not to mention Iron Man. It's mainly the casting that concerns me with this new Lion King remake. I didn't mind cast changes with The Jungle Book remake, because a. most of the original cast is dead, and b. I didn't watch the animated Jungle Book that often when I was a kid, so I don't have the same kind of attachment to it that I have to The Lion King, which I watched probably 15+ times in my life.

VaderFist501st · April 12, 2019 6:19PM

Looks pretty good. I’ll definitely see it and Jon is a great director

mastery0ta · April 15, 2019 7:34AM

That new trailer is tight. Timon and pumbaa are amazing

AzorAhai · April 15, 2019 5:26PM

My wife is a big fan of The Lion King and isn't particularly thrilled that they are remaking it.

But counterpoint to all that, is that since I was just a little too old (22) to feel anything for the original (I was 'too cool' for that...lol), so I am actually looking forward to this new movie.

BeastlyCrawdad · July 20, 2019 12:13PM

I went to see the movie yesterday and it was awesome.

HoverBoyBen · July 20, 2019 5:11PM

its funny that people post threads about stuff that doesn't deal with star wars....on a star wars web site..... why?.....in my opinion if its not star wars related it don't belong here?

Cane_danko · July 20, 2019 5:25PM

Can’t say i put my thought in the lion king. Except on this post. But now i’ve forgotten what i am writing about...

Well, its called off-topic for a reason, we can talk about other stuff. We are a community that likes to talk about stuff. That's not weird.

IronSoldier · July 20, 2019 8:46PM

Saw this yesterday. Animation is amazing and if it doesn't win some awards for it... pfft.

AccurateThings · July 21, 2019 3:25AM

While the movie was great (I watched in 3D), because the story is the same to the old version, you just knew the story already instead of making new original tale.

The animals look so realistic they barely had any facial expression unlike the cartoon did. Literally the lions all looked the same to me and some shots were replaced.

Yeah, unless they spoke, I couldn't tell the difference between nail and Sarabi.

Defbored · July 26, 2019 6:42PM

I saw this movie when I was a kid, and I actually want to watch it.

Normally I don’t care for Disney movies but this one hit me in the feels as a kid.

Mastahpeece · August 11, 2019 1:10PM

Soul crushing

MK300MK · August 12, 2019 11:06PM

Lion King? Do you mean Disney America's Kimba?
