I just don't find the "New Lion King" all that visually enjoyable aside from purely the appreciation for the talent required to make something look so realistic. I just don't think the various animals are all that compelling to look at as animated, fictional characters.
- mintplant 7y agoI view these as the equivalent of a video game company porting its older titles to new platforms. I have no data to support this, but I would guess that the next generation of kids isn't watching the old versions of Snow White, Cinderella, etc—at least, not at the same level. But Disney needs these movies and their iconography to be embedded in children's minds in order for the multi-billion-dollar merchandizing machine built on them to keep on printing cash. So Disney is bringing their back catalogue up to date.
