Briefly, 3.5 readers, I’m not sure I get Disney’s remake everything with live action initiative, even though I assume they’re generating a ton of revenue and not having to spend money on writing new stories as they’re just taking the old stories and re-doing them.
It sort of makes sense when there are human characters but something about a talking CGI animal cast is odd. That’s the fun part of cartoons. Why cartoon animals talking doesn’t seem silly I don’t know. Maybe just the idea of real-ish looking animals talking seems weird.
But at any rate, it’s fun, though again, for some reason, cartoon lions fighting seemed ok but something about letting kids see real lish lions fight seems strange.
It was a good time but I don’t know. I’m not sure CGI-ing everything is the way to go. Don’t believe me? Check out that Cats trailer. I’ll probably rant about the Cats trailer at some point.
