It would be tempting to say that Disney’s latest classic remake is not your father’s 'Lion King.' Except it sort of is. Review by KennethTuran:
Remember, this is no ordinary property Disney is dealing with, this is a beyond beloved story and a commercial juggernaut that’s as close as it gets to box office inevitability.
Then there was the Broadway show, which brought home six Tonys and is still running at 9,000 performances and counting. No wonder practically the first thing director Jon Favreau says in the film’s production notes is, “I felt a tremendous responsibility not to screw it up.
This new film has taken the notion of digitally built environments and photo-realistic computer generated animals one step further, generating gorgeous visuals and taking pains to create the feeling that it was all shot with a camera. Starting with a research trip to Africa during which 12.3 terabytes of photos were taken , the “Lion King” team, which includes 130 animators from 30 countries, labored intensively to create situations where lions can talk to each other in casual conversations that look completely plausible.
