By making the animals photoreal, we take away individual personalities, physical nuances, and even facial expressions, all of which help us relate to their plight. Honestly, even the technical brilliance is often a hindrance. Still, with dialogue so slavish, you can sense the actors desperately trying not to copy what they grew up hearing. Listening to Glover & Beyonce sing together is special, Scar is decently rendered, and Rogen & Eichner offer the most unique and successful moments. We're forced to sit through self-congratulatory animation montages that are useless beyond "look what we did!"Ĭrowds seem to be going for the cast, and many of those performances are the highlights. The few things that are changed don't expand the story, but just extend scenes past the point of reasonable story economics.

It sets the stage for both the larger things (story beats / scenes), as well as the smaller things (specific line deliveries), to be a lazy karaoke tune. From moment one, when the iconic "NAAAH SA-VIN-YAAAH!" bursts forth, I realized they were so beholden to the '94 classic they didn't even bother rerecording that vocal. It's not just similar to its source material but is 100% the same in almost every aspect. Otherwise, my worst fears were warranted. Technically, the CGI animation is impressively state-of-the-art and new.
Queen Bey described the live-action remake of the Lion King as “sonic cinema”, saying the film is “a new experience of storytelling”.My question going into the latest "pay-us-for-your-nostalgia" Disney-remake was, "Why do we need this? What new can it bring?". Her new songs were produced by African producers to provide “authenticity and heart” as the film is set in Africa. She said the album is influenced “by everything from R&B, pop, hip hop and Afro Beat” and that the songs were inspired by the remake’s storyline as it “gives the listener a chance to imagine their own imagery, while listening to a new contemporary interpretation”.
