Allow me to play Devil's advocate here -- (edited)

The strength of the original movie was it's stunning animation, no? Transferring that to CGI might blow the illusion for many.

Plus I think we're reaching a breaking point on Disney recycling its old material.

(I don't care all that much for original Lion King, to be perfectly honest)

Speaking of visuals, their cgi is excellent, but Blue Planet did a far better job of showcasing nature's vistas. - Max Jul 11, 10:04
I think Disney redoing this stuff is ok, but they're ramming it down people's throats too fast. IMO they should treat this like they used to do with - pmb Jul 11, 09:55 4
- Ironically, based on the route they took with it, Dumbo is the one of these that had the best reason to exist. -- nm - Reagen Jul 11, 10:24 1

I suggest if you're considering a movie on its own terms, you're not questioning why it was made Asking artists why they make stuff seems a bit weird -- nm - con_carne Jul 11, 09:48 9
- If you're asking me to pay $15, I'm sure gonna ask you why. -- nm - Reagen Jul 11, 09:49 8
  - The critical thought I learnded in skool did not take into account the price of the manuscripts being discussed or novels or history textbooks. -- (edited) - con_carne Jul 11, 10:11 3
    - This cuts both ways. If you are asking me to spend my time and money on your work, "why" is a reasonable question - Reagen Jul 11, 10:15 2
      - But different amounts of time and money are being spent. Folks who watch a movie on their phone or wristwatch or plane - con_carne Jul 11, 10:32 1
        
        Well 1) The job is to review it in the format it's presented - Reagen Jul 11, 10:37

    - But the purpose of criticism is to make guidance to the public of whether this is worth their time and money, no? -- nm - Reagen Jul 11, 10:01 2

        It's impossible to separate, for me. -- nm - Reagen Jul 11, 10:19
