Er is kritiek op de eerste trailer van Jon Favreaus The Lion King. De remake werd aangekondigd als een live-action film, maar gezien de eerste trailer, is het dat bepaald niet. Het is een virtuele productie, die voornamelijk op blue screen stages opgenomen is en blijkt er niet echt uit te zien als een live-action film.
Preices daarop is nu wat commentaar. Net als The Jungle Book, is The Lion King namelijk opgenomen in Los Angeles, waarbij alles in detail met computers geanimeerd is. Van de leeuwen en andere dieren, tot de omgevingen waarin scènes zich afspelen.
don't call the new lion king live action, it is 100% animated. it is a disservice to the people working on it to forget that.

Live action Lion King? That makes as much sense as the animators from 1994 calling their Lion King live action.

wow I just watched that new lion king trailer and I completely misunderstood what live action meant because I kept waiting for beyonce to appear in a lion costume

So next year, The Lion King is totally going to cause a world of controversy over whether or not it competes as an animated film right? At least The Jungle Book had a live action character. This looks like the first time a film could ever win both VFX and Animated Feature

I always think remakes are just big-wigs rubbing their hands together with dollar-bill eyes.

But the atmosphere for this film, as I've experienced it, is different. For many people it's about the technical achievement, the acclaim and the chance for a Visual Effects Oscar.
People really out here tripping that the Lion King isn't actually "live action" but just animated, as if training thousands of wild animals and filming them having conversations is just some normal, doable shit.
