EternallDarkness Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 'Mufasa: The Lion King' Live-Action Prequel Coming in 2024 WDWNT.COM Disney has announced a new live-action prequel to "The Lion King" entitled "Mufasa: The Lion King" which will debut in 2024! The prequel will feature Timon, Pumbaa, and Rafiki telling the story of Mufasa's rise to power to a new cub (somewhat similar to "The Lion King 1½") and will be live-ac Honestly, I couldn't even stay awake during the 'live action' Lion King remake. Of course I suppose I shouldn't be shocked since it made a billion but seriously I don't see people clamoring for this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 To be fair, The Lion King 1 1/2 or whatever it was, wasn't TOO bad, yet it didn't hold a candle to the original (same can be said about Aladdin's animated Jafar returns sequel). This as well as the previous "live action" flick were "movies" that literally no one asked for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 The one thing that blows me away is that Barry fuckin' Jenkins is directing this (Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk). That means it's a day one watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I'm just confused why CGI looks as bad as it does in 2024. I mean Jurassic Park is 31 yrs old and still holds up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think JP nostalgia is overblown (the CGI, not the movie—the movie is amazing). However, it has still aged very well for a movie made at that time, mainly because of artistic choices.

stepee Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Doesn’t JP still actually have a lot of practical sfx going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Yeah, Jurassic Park uses practical effects whenever possible and ultimately doesn’t have a ton of CGI dinos (they have a lot less screen time than you probably remember). Something like this is just insanely hard to pull off “correctly”. The live action remakes of movies with human characters, even if they’re all pretty bland, at least make sense on a conceptual level. But to carry on with that style for this world, with ZERO HUMANS, is just utterly bizarre. Every single character is a full CGI creation that is aiming for photorealism, but they also have to talk and emote. It’s baffling. The animators were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s some real clunkers in there, the severed arm is baaaaaaaad, but most of the dino stuff is good. Most if not all of the CGI of that era looks terrible in the light of ultra HD. It was never intended to be seen like that, it’s sharper and more detailed than what you saw in a theater. Go watch some of the prequels in 4k and turn on motion smoothing for good measure, your face will melt like that dude at the end of Raiders it’s so bad.
