  1. Okay, so now that we know Mufasa: The Lion King has two trailers now, it should only be a matter of time until Sonic 3 has its full trailer, since it’s set to release on the same day…

  2. Well this destroys the Hamlet narrative but ok… I don’t expect anything else from the ones that are ruling Disney now. This could be an absolute hit or a complete joke. Let’s see.

  3. Okay, maybe I judged the movie a little too hard at first; but I still stand at my point that making ANOTHER Lion King movie is completely unnecessary, and just Disney's way of trying to make more money.
    That aside, the movie does look interesting. I hope they don't somehow mess this one up, too, because I can surprisingly see it end up being good.

  4. To be clear i love the loin king and stitch animated films. I know its an over said statment on how these movies dont need to be retold in live action format but if there was ever a film that didn't need a live action retelling itll be the lion king. Majority of the film is cgi. At least with this film we'll get a deeper dive on the backstory of established characters. Id probably still see stich though out of curiosity. And im sure we'll all skip snow white.

  6. I noticed the CGI looks better than the first one, they’re finally showing emotions and smiling or frowning. Guess the editors or animators learned their lesson after the reviews from the first one and decided to make it up to us by making the CGI better this time. 😌

  7. Why is Disney so fixated on humanizing villainous characters? It almost seems as though they want people to become incapable of telling the difference between evil and good.
