I believe this just came out a couple of days ago. Much though I’m not a fan of Disney, or indeed the “live action” (in this case, that’s a lol in itself) remakes, at least this is an original story, even if it completely retcons the entire Lion King plot, lol…
I won’t spoil it, but, umm, I would say it is to The (original) Lion King what Wicked is to The Wizard of Oz. Very much the same concept. And doesn’t really make sense, if we’re taking the story from the original as being the (fictional) truth.
Anyway, it also features tribes of lions differentiated by fur colour (lol), quite a lot of the biblical story of Moses, and lions climbing snowy mountains (in Southern Africa??), so… Yeah.
Looks relatively okay though, all things considered. But I would be interested in hearing the thoughts of others on it.
Aside from the lions, animated hyper-realism looks awful for characters meant to appeal to children.
Taka = Scar :')
Ran that through google translate, just for funsies.
Taka is Swahili for "garbage" ...
Hahaha that’s brilliant. Not sure if it’s intentional (Lion King 1 was mostly in Zulu, after all), but nonetheless.
Doing God’s work, there.
