| It's not just computer generated "effects", it is computer animation. The entire movie is animated really. Yes I'm sure they used motion capture for a lot of it but that doesn't change that it is fully animated with effectively voice acting from stars. It seems like a completely unnecessary movie, and a weird attempt to spend an insane amount of money in the hope to make more money from this already insanely profitable property. Doing it with stage craft is one thing, and a great way to make this something else besides the animated musical, but to try to put this into a realistic looking, grounded setting and still do the disney songs with talking animals seems very silly. And while a lot of the visuals look amazing, a lot of them do not... young Simba especially. |

| except to make money, this movie is a "why?" since it is another animated movie. But I guess I answered my "why?" with the "except to make money!" :-) Jim |

I agree, but considering the apparently insane amount of money made by the BEAUTY AND THE BEAST remake -- which I found unwatchable and unlistenable based on the first two sequences (I couldn't get past those) -- I'm sure this lamentable trend will continue. Though, of course, some of these remakes -- like this one, with NO human characters -- seem even more unnecessary than others. |

| I thought the trailer breathtakingly understated and yet elegant. A number of friends posted it on Facebook with genuine excitement and expectation. This film may well reach a whole new generation of children. It has state of the art fx, a stellar cast, and a beautiful and universal story reimagined in a new iteration. Not everyone loves animation, and certainly not every child has access to Taymor’s live staging. Why dub such a potentially audience pleasing project “unnecessary” a full seven months before its release, in the face of such palpable anticipation? Yes, it’s a series of corporate decisions, but all inspiring creativity in gifted collaborators. Not at the top of my list of things to complain about in 2018, on screen or off. | |

| It seems it is going to be really ridiculous watching a seemingly real lion cub bounce around singing "I Just Can't Wait To Be King." But we'll see. When it was announced in the mid 90s that The Lion King was being made into a Broadway show, it was one of the most ridiculous things I had ever heard at the time and well, that ended up working out really well so who knows how this will turn out? | |

| That's not how copyrights work. Anyway, assuming copyrights originated by corporations are considered works for hire, then the Lion King has between 95 to 120 years of protection. | |

| "I was told the 'live action' remakes are about maintaining copyright over the intellectual property" Interesting. I believe they wouldn't have to remake them for years in order to do that, but maybe they want to take care of it sooner rather than later :-) |
