I mean, the added stuff is unnecessary, but so is a remake in general, so I’m glad they’re at least doing something different with it rather than just do the exact same thing only live action.

Someone on Twitter uploaded a collage of Disney's slate of films in 2019. Notice a pattern?

How surprising. Franchise films and remakes. The only kind of original thing there is a documentary on penguins (an already extremely tapped subject). I can't wait to see the success of these films.

You just know they'll make it big at the box office. Starvel and Disney hardcore fans are like cultists, they have no account for taste and will watch any shit the Mouse offers them on their plate.
 
Probably the only good Disney live action remake was 101 Dalmations. It had the right set up with slapstick comedy, an entertaining villian, and overall funner than the animated one.

The rest of the live action remakes are just plain stale and tries its best to add unnecessary realism in otherwise goofy fantasy settings. It's just a big waste of talent!

The real irony is, I would be totally down for remakes of some of Disney's early films if they didn't PC the shit out of them. Dumbo flat out doesn't work without Jim Crow... but more than that, I want to see a remake of Song of the South with Samuel L. Jackson as Uncle Remus.

The Jungle Book/Beauty and the Beast/Cinderella at least had actual human actors instead of animations. With the Lion King, everything is still fucking animated. CGI vs. 2D, it’s still fucking animated.

While true, it sometimes creates a divide over what the definition of 'animation' should be. We're already seeing it tested these days with movies having CG figures among live-action actors. Needing to go with realism in how these animals look versus the way they had as 2D characters is one way that line keeps cut even further.
 
Say what you want about The Jungle Book, but at least that movie was made 50 or so years after the original and made an effort to hew closer to the tone of the source material. I don’t see the point in remaking The Lion King only 25 years after the original unless you’re going for something radically different.
