Just a suggestion for an intro. Keep the "Hey, Brother!" But include your three favorite subjects: Disney, Wizarding World and Marvel. Like maybe have J becoming the Incredible Julk and Ben using a wand or something.
"I don't want to say I didn't like the way Beyonce was singing because I don't think you're allowed to say that"
Best line in this video
Matthew Hudachek yes you are
I hate to say it too. It was just a bit odd. Like I could tell they didn’t sing that song together and it was all mixed up behind the scenes.
@@TheScarletKnightUK Exactly. No one is above criticism. If you don't enjoy someone's creative work, that's totally fine. I understand why he said it though. Because to some people others aren't allowed to have thoughts, opinions, or questions. Which is dangerously untrue. Be wary and fight back against anyone who thinks they are allowed to control, silence, or censor you.
Ok so for the live action of the lion king I would have had human in African tribes. That would have so much emotion and imagine the choreography!!!!!! It would make more sense to have a remake with humans that way they can explore more human aspects of the story! And instead of being a shot by shot it can be unique!
Matthew Hudachek I agree. Best line! 😂
J: *finally calms down about Rafiki standing*
Ben: Hehe... what about Rafiki’s stick?
J: OH. MY. GOSH-
21:36
Dayday Timoteo lol
lol the best 😂👏
That was my favorite part of the whole video! I laughed SO loud. And then I rewinded it and laughed again even louder. 10/10
One of the funniest parts of the video was watching Ben's facial expressions to J's rants
Just the way he slams his fists on the table. 😂😂
Will you guys be doing a ranking of the Live Action remakes? I'd be interested in seeing your opinions!
This is such a great idea!
ellie YESSSSS
Me too!
Brilliant idea but I think we all know Aladdin or the jungle book would win
I was going to ask that too. Thanks for bringing it up!
If they wanted Nala to have more scenes in this movie, they should have added her song from the Broadway version: Shadowland. It's about when she is leaving Pride Rock to find help. It would have fit so well with the new scene where she is escaping.
They played the tune of it throughout the movie, so I actually expected it and was disappointed when it didn't happen. I agree completely
They could learn a lot from the broadway show tbh 😂
Honestly I thought this live action Lion King was going to be the broadway show. I was really disappointed to find out it wasn’t.
“Here’s the thing about animated Scar....he’s just perfect.” 😂 Yaass 100% agree
Whaaaaaaaa?
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Just as James Earl Jones is the definitive Mufasa, Jeremy Irons really is the definitive Scar
Shenzi was made the leader because in Hyena packs the FEMALE is the leader
And Fun Fact: Lionesses will revolt against a selfish king
Did you wtach the film theory too or did you just know that 😂😂😂
@@angeladavidson2350 its true kid. Do some research. Stop playing all this fortnite
@@angeladavidson2350 Got it from MatPat 😂😂
@@angeladavidson2350 female hyenas also have pseudopenises, so they can be hard to tell apart from the males just by looking at them. Have a nice day
Reshaun Ware
Hey, film theory is very educational. I’ve learned a ton from that channel
Why did they cut out some of the BEST PARTS:
•”ow what was that for?!”
“Who cares?! It was in the past!!”
•”iiiiiitsa small world aaaaafter all”
“NO!!!! ANYTHING BUT THAT SONG!!!!!”
Also I feel like if they’re gonna cut out the hula skirt and dance they should’ve at least dressed them up like classy waiters or something!!
Zazu's joke about Scar as a throw rug & mufasa could take him out and beat him! I loved that joke & it was freaking gone in the new version.
Yeah all of these things I miss
In my opinion, I am not a fan of when they make live-action movies and put famous peoples voice as a characters voice.
Like Beyonce as Nala for example, when Nala sings you dont see it as Nala singing, you picture Beyonce, its the same with her voice aswell.
You cant see the character as herself and I feel its taking away from Nala. But thats just my opinion. *Nothing against Beyonce but in my opinion, It just takes away from the character being herself*
Yeah, adult Nala just sounds so bad to me. If she kept her cub voice actress maybe it would be better.
I don't think that's always the case, I think it depends on the quality of the voice acting, like how Gerard Butler was fantastic as Stoic in the How to Train Your Dragon movies. I really think it has to do with the actor's voice and their ability to separate it from themselves. Most famous singers for example don't really voice act, they just talk normally which makes their voice acting come across as weak.
@@Altronn exactly, Its mostly in the voice itself, thank you for helping clarify
*ChErrY* SLurPee011 Yes, I also felt that way about Nala/Beyoncé. I just could only picture Beyoncé 😕
I like Beyonce but I totally agree. Sometimes less popular actors with great talent are just what we need
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THEY CUT THE "YOU CAN LEARN FROM THE PAST" SCENE! THAT WAS MY FAVORITE SCENE FROM THE LION KING!!!
Raton Zafiris oh my brother and I were waiting for the Rafiki hit and speech! I agree completely!
That's literally like one of the main themes of the movie too. Crazy.
Well everything won't be the same I suppose I didn't it know was missing until now
I am also upset that scene was cut because it is such an important lesson that I think kids should learn.
OR WHEN PUMBAA SAID IN THE ORIGINAL “You gotta put your behind in you past” and they COMPLETELY MISSED IT
“I once had a cousin who thought he was a woodpecker” Zazu
"He slammed his head into a tree." I could not breathe for laughing for a full minute.
“He was often concussed”
Later on he becomes a brother
Zach Smith I know I literally said that aloud “wait wasn’t he your cousin not brother?”
Is this a gay joke?
"Yes, the past can hurt. But you can run from it, or learn from it".
And maybe not remake it badly
So annoyed that was a throw away line for Hakuna Matata.
Yess
That was my favourite line from the original and I was so sad when I found out they didn’t include it.
VaderKing243 that’s true
Also bothered me how Rafiki doesn’t hug Mufasa in the opening. Just an awkward face touch. Disappointing overall
Rafiki with the stick tho..... ugh
*smashes Disney over the head with a stick*
@@lindenlynx lol
...
The scene where he hits Simba with the stick and gets so excited from Simba returning. They let me down. There’s a shooting star almost symbolizing Mufasa leading him back
Landrey Brown Asante sana squash banana.....
When Nala said “lions attack” I leaned to the person next to me and said “avengers assemble”
Caroline Collins imagine if they didn’t know what u were on abt tho...
That is the best
100% worthy of

Was anyone else annoyed that they put “Spirit” in the scene that clearly should have belonged to “He lives in you”? Like someone really needs to edit that scene with the song to see if it fits.
I was expecting spirt to be in a similar scene to shadowland in the Broadway musical.
I was furious.
Especially because they redid 'he lives in you', so I fully expected that in there.
kris lyons it made me so mad. In my opinion he lives in you is one of the most meaningful songs in the whole movie and they just replaced it.
When I watched The Lion King in the theatre some of the audience started to sing He lives in you when the music started in that scene. It was a real bummer when everyone noticed that Spirit was being played and not he lives in you.
Qiara Coleman True fan right here folks.
Spirit should have been like the first credit song shadowland def should have been in it there were times I thought we were getting it
Lion King Live Action: Nature Documentary with Songs
☺️
There you go.
That actually sounds good 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Naomi Falk WHY IS THAT SO ACCURATE
#Facts
I'll stick with the original version of 'The Lion King'
It’s the only Lion King 💜
You mean you’ll *stick* with the original
Eh!
I’ll see myself out
Me to
When you say that, you’re speaking for the entire universe
I'll stick with the original and Lion King 2.
*Rafiki grabs Mjolnir*
Simba: Knew it!
AMAZING!😄
Rafiki joins the Avengers, revealing that Thor was simply his puppet and everyone in Asgard was his servants, he then enslaves the Avengers eventually the entire city of New York and becomes more powerful then Thanos and defeats him in minutes after he attacks New York (now known as The Circle Of Life) and the Guardians Of The Galaxy have no choice but to return to earth and defeat Rafiki. But they then fail and Groot barely survives and becomes a warrior, dedicated to getting revenge on Rafiki
By the way, I’m not serious about any of this LOL 😉
the most disappointing part of this whole movie was the Be Prepared song. it was thirty seconds long, nothing crazy happening, and the singing and pronunciation of words was completely off
I didn't even realize it was supposed to be Be Prepared until the weird chanting halfway through.
The “fur” scene was longer 😐🤔
When I first heard I hated it but it grew on me after a few listens.
But it wouldn’t make sense if they include the whole song because in this versions of the movie the Hyenas are betrayed as not just dumb henchmen working for scar, the hyenas are all pretty smart for the most part in the remake so a lot of the song wouldn’t make sense as a lot of the verses in it consist of scar telling the hyenas how Dumb witted they are
Elite Shinx88 well yes, but that doesn’t mean they just cut out every other lyric of the song besides Be Prepared
wow I took the scene of Scar and Sarabi completely different. To me it had nothing to do with a "love interest", it was just Scar trying to take the last bit of control that Mufasa once had and he didn't. The lionesses weren't really following him, they followed Sarabi who used to be Mufasa's mate, so Scar trying to get Sarabi to give in to him and become his mate was because that would be the last win he needed against Mufasa and the last bit of control he was lacking. To me that scene was all about power and not at all about an actual love interesting, so that scene made a lot of sense to me.
I think they're referring to one of Scar's lines during that scene. He specifically says "you picked Mufasa over me" implying that he was an option for her at one point in the past
In the original writing for the animated movie Scar was supposed to try to have a relationship with Nala
In the beginning of the movie there is also some foreshadowing when he says “I’ve always had respect for the queen” so I think it was more alluded to than you’re implying
mocochang I think they tried to bring more of Hamlet (the inspiration for Lion King) out with Scar and Sarabi, but it didn’t pay off as they wanted. But early on in the movie, Scar tells Mufasa he did not intend to offend them “especially the Queen, I have great regard for the Queen” by not showing up to Simba’s presentation. So I think he loved her and originally challenged Mufasa, not only for her but to be King of Pride Rock. I do agree that it was a power move when Scar became queen, but it was also (at least I felt like) a bit like, “Look I am now as powerful as Mufasa was, why don’t you like me now”
@@xoxVikki15xox your right about that and her being a love interest is implied
I feel like the Remember who you are was totally ruined. They didn’t even show mufasa
VARUN SINGH i totally agree, the lack of an actual Mufasa in the sky and the rushed pacing for the scene just made for such an underwhelming moment, especially compared to the original.
Mufasa was shown in the clouds but barely after lightning strikes.
Yeah, it was iconic, but it fit better for the realistic themes to make it more subtle.
For all those who don't have time to watch the review
J: AHHHHHHHHHH 😤
Ben: Ummmmmm (slightly scared)
They call me mister pig!
Brilliant way of describing the video.
Mufasa: "Remember who you are"
Disney: *sees flashbacks of themselves making amazing animated movies that are emotion-driven and has amazing characters and original music* "Hey guys I know how to make some easy money!"
Mufasa: "That's... that's not what I meant"
Disney: "Yeah this scene will be turned into you being a literal cloud with a little lighting"
“Can you feel the love this afternoon” 🤣
Can you feel Beyonce sing this afternoon?
Tiggster2005 ONE JOB!!
Never, and I mean never have I agreed with a movie review as much as I did here. It re-irked all my annoyances (Rafiki sitting, the fur, Scar, be prepared, no pay offs, everyone reacting instantly to Simba being alive, like seriously the pride didn't even really react or seem shocked when he showed up, like I don't even remember Sarabi getting a moment, etc.) But man did it ever also give me laughs, especially the jokes about the lightning
Shenzi became the leader of the hyena pack-
because spotted hyenas have a matriarchal hierarchy.
That is acceptable... but WHY DID THEY HAVE TO CUT EDD OUT!?
@Kamal I think the hyena that kept getting in the other ones space was meant to be Ed
@@GhostyCanine Huh... well that's just wrong, in my opinion. To each their own, I like this version of Shenzi but man was I looking forward to Ed's evil laugh before Scar is killed.
I feel like even without saying it, it’s clear that Shenzi is the leader of the Hyenas in the original
Woah Woah Woah there fellas, I signed on board for Lion King "spoilers" but I did NOT sign on for Toy Story 4 Spoilers!
¡¡THIS!!
OMG ikr!
Wait what?! I’m glad I just read this! I’ll stop the video now because I’m not down with that 😟
@@courtney-ray it's in the last 2 minutes! Just stop before the end.
Fair assessment.
The biggest flaw of this film is the lack of emotion in the character's face and mannerisms.
The emote the way reak animals do they do not have human cartoony emotions they showed emotion it's just more realistic. But this is my take
I agree that animal cannot express emotion with its face as clear as human (especially they are big cats not dogs), but they can add expression on ears, fur, tail and movement.
Yes, the ears! I was waiting the whole time for their ears to have the expression they have in real life.
For example: if one of my cats is being called they mostly turn their ears to me (while ignoring me with the rest of their body, lol).
Lions happen to have the same thing with their ears, but in this movie there was NOTHING!
You know... that's why in animation you never go for realism, animals CAN'T emote like humans, Jon Favreau made his biggest directing mistake whn he tought a movie about singing and dancing animals will benefit from having hiperealism, it just looks good in still images, in movement, even the motion of their mouth speaking is weird because you know... animals don't talk like us
And the second biggest was Be Prepared
I love that in Hakkuna Mattata, near the end Simba says "let's sing it again." and Timone and Pumba say no and that since the start of the song Simba has gained 400 pounds. Was a very funny nod to the age up transition
Hour long video and not a single commercial 🙌🏼 bless the SuperCarlinBrothers
Yes, but is this a commercial for Lion King?
Luella Horton its a review for the movie? Of course it’s all they talk about. Lol
I was SO MAD about Mufasa's cloud!!!! It was supposed to be so iconic like the original!
Anna Rose McCarthy well, while i agree, i always thought it was a little strange. It better fit for this version to be a more realistic cloud formation.
I think the Mufasa cloud is even better in the broadway production because it covers you in goosebumps and it is an amazing scene. I think my goosebumps had goosebumps.
J and Ben afraid to critique Beyoncé because they know the beehive will come for them is exactly why I can't get behind her 🤦🏻♀️
itsQUINNderful ! She isn’t ordering the Hive to attack tho... it doesn’t have anything to do with her capabilities. Judge her work, not the cult following
Valeria Rios she also doesn’t do anything to stop them from attacking everyone
The biggest Lion King plot hole: who is Nala’s father?
“The SFX or the-“
Me: NOT IN FRONT OF THE KIDS!!!!
Oh, sorry.
HAKUNA MATATA!!!!
Hahaha
fan art idea... Rafiki holding mjolnir, and the lightning is Mufasa. I'm a horrible drawer, so someone please make it happen, I think it would look cool!
Definitely
That's weird/kinda dumb
Does everyone know what a mjolnir is? I have no idea how to pronounce it or what it means. Obviously I'm going to look this up, but first, how does everyone immediately know what this is?!
Ah I see. It's a Thor thing, that's how everyone knows...
My annoyances:
Be Prepared. So underwhelming.
Rafiki's stick didn't have that fruit thing on It (I don't think)
Not only the line "Lions attack" but how underwhelming it felt to me
Rafiki's face in general? Like Idk if that's how babboons actually look but it was WEIRD
I didn't like Scar's voice. It didn't fit him. Also Scar's appearance in general wasn't doing it for me
All the female lions look THE SAME. I could not tell who was who at points. There were small differentiating factors but they need to be more noticeable
The emotions on the characters was not enough for me. Like was said in the video, it's possible to give animals emotions
I was waiting for Mufasa to appear in the sky and he just didn't. I feel like there was a way to do that.
The battle should've been even more dramatic. I know Scar and Simba fighting is the main event, but the rest of the fight should've had more weight
Mufasa was in the sky...
*Rafiki's a mandrill but totally agree....
@@collinsakajagbor5422 The thunder silhouette just... doesn't work as well, in my own opinion. Not to mention his lines. They cut SO MANY OF HIS LINES THERE!
Like, "You are my son." My dad would always tease me with that line since it's his favourite to quote. Sorry, don't get me wrong, I can see why it would enjoyable but overall. Just meh.
The SOUNDTRACK on the other hand. Nothing will replace the original "Can you feel the love tonight?" and "Spirits" was just... doesn't fit well. Hakuna Matata was annoying me in this for some reason. The new Be Prepared SHOULD HAVE BEEN LONGER! That dark tone actually fit this narrative but the problem is that it was so short. But I can still listen to it and enjoy it.
The original soundtrack, the themes (not songs), was just sooo much more ethereal. I enjoyed them, except the new drum war version of the battle between Scar and Simba. I prefer the original.
I agree with most of these. The lioness one, Be Prepared, and Scars voice definately. As for the lionesses, i didnt even know until this video that it was Nala that said "lions, attack!" And actually thought it was Sarabi.
@@rachelleredd8803 Same!
Instead of Rafiki-Thor and “Lions Attack”, Nala should have yelled “Embambe!”
I jus watched it and have to say Zazu, Pumbaa and Timon were the real stars of the movie.
plus the soundtrack is jus nostalgic and goosebump inducing
I agree with you guys completely
Frozen Wolf 💯❗️
Disney is like Taco Bell. New items. Same ingredients. It's all presentation.
I ambiguous they’re clearly doing something right. They own pretty much every television media outlet
Thats kinda how all food works
Oh has a Disney fan I cannot argue with that.
Basically. If it’s still good then I don’t really care.
Brandon Quinlog And if it’s not?
It was a good movie as a stand alone but if you compare it to the original one, the animated one, it lacks so many things.
So many emotions, so much.... *soul*
M Matute Ok so for the live action of the lion king I would have had human in African tribes. That would have so much emotion and imagine the choreography!!!!!! It would make more sense to have a remake with humans that way they can explore more human aspects of the story! And instead of being a shot by shot it can be unique!
Animation Geek thank god you didn’t direct the movie... it sounds very horrible
@@solcarlosofficial Oh My God I am glad they didn't put you in charge that sounds horrible and cringy.
Animation Geek I know what you mean and I think that could be great.
Why call it the Lion King, 1994 very successful movie many peoples childhood movie. If it wanted to be a stand alone movie they could have I don't know maybe be ORIGINAL make a lion movie and have fun with it see how it does and then do THE Lion King movie
When they took out the “You can learn from the past” scene and then changing Be Prepared made me feel as if there’s something major missing.
When I watched the movie I couldn’t quite place it.
But it just felt like they were just wanting you to cry without fully resolving the reasons.
27:39 I agree! The way Scar was just *staring* at Simba was pretty freaky. I was hoping you guys would mention it.
I like that we got a bit of backstory on Scar and his relationship with Sarabi was one of the few things they added that I actually thought was kind of interesting. Wish we got more of that.
That would have been really great but they didn't expand we're just left to wonder if there's a history, in the original they had a deleted scene about Scar actually wanting Nala as his queen, it was a few lines but it still made more sense
I can't stand when they hint at things without going all in with them. They hinted that Scar previously challenged Mufasa for the throne and lost. "I wouldn't dream of challenging you. Again." And, as you mentioned, a possible love triangle with Sarabi, Mufasa and Scar where Sarabi ultimately chose Mufasa. Why hint at things at all if you aren't going to go anywhere with it? Maybe Scar got his scar (and his nickname) from his losing challenge to Mufasa? Maybe Sarabi and Scar had a relationship that fell apart because he refused to accept his title of prince and instead became obsessed with becoming king? Perhaps make Sarabi suspicious of Scar's claim that Mufasa and Simba's deaths were just a freak accident so she continues to reject him?
thecoolestguyinthecommentsection I AGree SO MUCH!!

I know I loved that part I wish we got more of it but still loved the movie
I still prefer the original Zazu over the new one. Rowan Atkinson's performance is great in the original, and I always found him funny as a kid.
Rowan atkinson should've reprised his role..
@@walnuthead most them should have
Same
What I really missed was Timone and Pumba in Can You Feel The Love Tonight, they just stated that they were about to lose their best buddy, then did absolutely nothing to stop it happening!
Random thought:
Timon is Slytherin and Pumba is Hufflepuff.
Come fight me if you think I'm wrong!
(JKJK. I won't fight you. But you can't deny that I'm right at least about Pumba. If he's not a Hufflepuff I don't know what he is...)
Yes and scar is a ravenclaw (an evil one but still a ravenclaw) and mufasa is a Gryffindor. It all works so perfectly
A warthog. A warthog is what he is.
A hufflepuff will always have a slytherin close by. It's just the way of life.
-A Hufflepuff
I agree with the ‘simbas tuft of Hair’ thing when Rafiki just looks at the hair like “.... must be Simba!”
Nala should have said “okay lions now let’s get in formation”
Plankton calls all robots
I see you made a pun there. Beyonce's song- Formation.
That would've made no sense in the dubs.
Simba forms the head?
Is that a Six reference?
Jon Favreau says why Rafiki didn’t stand up properly in the circle of life because the way that baboon’s anatomy works meant that that wouldn’t actually work and the centre of gravity would be all wrong
While realism is appreciated in certain stories, the imagination and creativity of the original helped certain moments feel more epic then if the animals just acted like animals all the time. For example the emotions of the characters feel more real in the original cause the faces looked more expressive, while the remake the look dead faced half the time. Or how in songs like Be Prepared or I Just Can’t wait to be King the realism doesn’t allow for much creativity in the visuals and it feels less fun
They originally animated Rafiki standing in Circle of Life, but it apparently looked massively unnatural, which would have gone against JF’s vision of making it more like a nature doc..so they decided to seat him.
Not saying I agree with the decision, but there was at least a reason behind it, not just carelessness.
nah that's not a reason, I still count it as recklessness.
Jonathan. Never stop being so passionate about films. Watching you explain how amazing the original is and the live action stuff in comparison. Even if I disagreed with you (which I don’t at all) I’d still be amazed by your passion for that moment lol
Catriona Green Ok so for the live action of the lion king I would have had human in African tribes. That would have so much emotion and imagine the choreography!!!!!! It would make more sense to have a remake with humans that way they can explore more human aspects of the story! And instead of being a shot by shot it can be unique!
There passion is great but for once i disagree with them.
Animation Geek THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID!!!!!!
As soon as Timon started saying “Ma chere Mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride
And greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight
And now we invite you to relax, let us pull up a chair
As the dining room proudly presents
Your dinner!
Be our guest”
I died 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Walt’s Tomorrow Land I was screaming the entire time he was delivering that.
Sameee 😂😂
I feel like it ruined the movie... cause his hula song in the original was the best.
CRUSΛDΞR GΛMING it would have not worked in this “live action “ plus a good tie for beauty and the beast
I was kinda annoyed
21:41 - "What do you think about Rafiki's stick?" "Oh, my GOSH!!!"
That sent me. XDDDD
When Timon started singing Be our Guest I died. I literally stopped breathing for a second. 100% my favorite scene.
The entire theater went up in roars of laughter when that scene happened.
I hated that. Mostly cause i saw the original.in theater
Something tells it’s mostly gonna be, “not really, but there were one or 2 good moments”
I hate being right.
But its true the movie isn't that good..in my opinion.
Thanks for saving me an hour...
@@mcxopjesh Yep, just moved it to "background noise" for me.
I did think it was good but that's just me. It just loved the experience! Can't help it.
I think it's great but that's my opinion i just love the ride it sent me on.
So I am a proud South African and to hear you call our beloved Tarentaal (Guineafowl in English) a "turkey vulture tings" is absolutely hysterical. I love it! 🇿🇦🤣♥
One of my favourite things about the live action version was all the authentic African stuff that was added in (guinea fowl, fynbos, Rafiki speaking native languages and what sounded like a mbira in some parts)
Do you know what the animal was that looked like a sort of silver fox with big ears and was in the jungle with Timon and pumbaa
Rafiki should've pulled out mjolnir, looked confused like he had no idea where that came from, threw it away and went back in and pulled out the staff
20:57 "Its the most iconic moment"
Yup so many of my friends babies have gotten a "lion king picture" doing the Rafiki holding samba part!
You Know it's bad when your dog shows more emotion than the main character
Simba shows the same emotion has a real Lion and anybody who has studied them can see that.
Matthew Bennett But real lions don’t talk either.. :/
@@matthewbennett9928 ... Lions ... Move their ears?? Did you see Narnia in 2003???? I can tell you now people who know, fully know.
@@pineapplefrostyfruits9225 YES!! PEOPLE FORGET ASLAN!! For crying out loud, the Lion from Narnia had SO MUCH MORE emotion than this live action. Aslan didn't have that much of a facial expression either but it was there in a small bit (you know the scene of him reuniting with Lucy in the 2nd movie and he warmly laughs? YEAH!!) and the body language was there.
FYI: Recent research confirms that humans have been selecting dogs with ‘human’ expressions, so that modern, domestic dogs have more facial muscles than wild dogs or wolves. That is one reason why people see wolves and other dogs as less likable than popular dog breeds.
The worst bit is they took out the Rafiki hitting Simba with his stick scene. And they changed cloud Mufasas words 🙈
They get mad about Rafiki squatting, but they don't care that Mufasa doesn't even hug him!
I’m still not over that, especially since Rafiki’s name literally means “friend” yet none of his moments always convey that, especially that one
Timon's voice in the original is what makes his character iconic to me, I did not find the new Timon to be as entertaining, but I very much enjoyed Seth Rogen's Pumbaa.
I really didn’t like the way Mufasa said “IS THAT A CHALLENGE” to Scar, it was one of my favorite scene in the original movie and I was looking forward to it and I was so disappointed.
Emanuell Baheli it was so mild in the new version :(
@@kiaraorsomething Agreed
I agree! Also they ruined scars evil plan song! I'm sooo upset 😡
Sometimes u set yourself up for disappointment when you give yourself high expectations
Yep, just too mild compared to how he said the line in the original movie.
I literally kept whispering over to my mom every time Rafiki was on screen “WhERs thE StIcK!?”
Feathers 457 he doesn’t even hit Simba with it
@@johnmartin4119 Ikn?!
"I don't want to say I didn't like the way Beyonce was singing because I don't think you're allowed to say that"
Love this line lol and yes Jay you can say that if it didn't fit the movie.
I really think you guys should do s podcast series reviewing your favourite movies I would soooo listen to that!
I agree! Imagine how awesome it would be if they would have guests from the movies once in a while. Directors and actors... it would be so fun
Short answer: No, no it was not.
Tiana Crepy how do you figure?
Tiana Crepy yeah, it borrows the story from an excellent movie
I liked it but that's my opinion. I just loved the experience
Agree. Not it wasn’t
Matthew Bennett that’s good. I’m glad you enjoyed it
Zazu wasn't CGI, that's John Oliver's actual face. (That joke almost pulled me out of the movie)
*intro plays*
"No."
*outro plays*
Jeremy irons IS SCAR!!! I agree. Although I would love to see David Draiman (disturbed lead singer) take a stab at the role too.
I love these long podcast like videos for every Disney/Pixar film that comes out, I love how in depth you gets get
Genuine question: when is Zazu annoying in the original? I always find it funny.
His jokes probably don't land as much in the original which makes him more annoying than funny and he has a slightly more pretentious voice there, I guess.
@@js66613 I personally love all his lines
@@gnammyhamster9554 Well, I guess then it's just a personal view of what's fun to us and what isn't? Then again I haven't seen the original in years now.
@@js66613 Then you should watch it again. I don't know anyone that ever regret doing that.
@@gnammyhamster9554 Yeah.... but people claim that about the the Hunger Games too and I never really loved or liked it... so...
I just liked the fandom. The series on its own had too few highlights for me to like it overall.
I mean, I liked the Lion King, but I don't have the time or the motivation to search that movie up and watch it again for just one character that isn't even a major part of the movie last I checked.
The hakuna matata lifestyle was definitely something I was into as a kid, so I love that they explained it in the new one 👍
To be fair I think the lifestyle of Hakuna Matata life is similar to fantasy worlds like Pleasure Island, Neverland, or Wonderland where to a kid it is a paradise with no rules and constant pleasure seeking, but as you get older you realize that such a life of childish pleasures isn’t truly meaningful or responsible. But it’s still nice they explained it more, I guess it’s more just an argument of showing vs telling
I'm actually mad about what they did to Be Prepared. I love that song, and they basically cut it. that was one of the things I was most disappointed about with the remake, that and I Just Can't Wait to be KIng. that song, I don't know if it was just me, but it really sounded like Simba was sung by a girl, and it just didn't sound good. I think they did really well making Mufasa's death even sadder, though, because when Simba lied down with him, that made me cry so much.
I am so so mad about be prepared the ruined the best song
@@claireshnowske1224 yeah 🙄
Hated Be Prepared being ruined 😢
Peggy Plays I agree with you! It feels like they just made lyrics last minute and put together the CGI. I loved that song to and I think almost everyone does to
Peggy Plays
I totally agree! Those songs are like Disney classics!
I think jon favreau's approach to this movie was him being realistic to animal behavior while trying to recreate the iconic scenes from the original animated movie....
My interpretation: "Animals wonder why they have to make this movie so they deliver the lines but just! No emotional body language for the selfish humans who insist on rehashing this story."
That's exactly how is it is.
@@1992WLK Okay first of all they so emotion but in the way real animals do anybody who has a kitten or has studied animals can read there emotions. There body language and facial expressions are accurate to real life. They do not have human emotions like on the cartoon and human facial expressions on photo real animals would look cheesy. That's my interpretation.
i hated the tuft of fur scene, it was wayyyy too long
It’s the circle of life
Same with the scene with the mouse being WAAY too long
smaiggukie ie I counted it the third time I went to see it. Exactly 149 seconds.
In a video Vanity Faire did with Jon Favreau, he says the standing Rafiki’s center of gravity is off to a point that’s noticeable when it looks like an animal affected by the real world’s rules of physics
David Walsh yes, I watched that too. Really interesting.
Don't care...he should still have stood up...
I didn't bother me was sitting
I don't want to be that guy, but Rafiki is a mandrill not a baboon
Ps. Mandrills were previously qualified as part of the same genus as a baboon but they are now part of a different genus.
Veeru M. Also don’t want to be that guy but they kept saying simba was gone for ten years but lions grow up in like 3 just like dogs
Unless you are watching the animated version and then Simba is the baboon and Rafiki is not...(another of my favorite lines they took out)
@@billmcclure2880 Very true
Also did you know Simba would have eaten Timon and Pumba and also he would have never returned to his pack and makes come and go and females lead the lack. So this should be The Lion Queen.
@@billmcclure2880 yes!
Watched the movie today, to me it was as if they rushed good scenes but dragged out unnecessary ones. It was okay but I wouldn’t say memorable
Yea like GOT season 8 lol
I agree with everything, but you also need to mention the fact that there is no birdie boiler
They changed the iconic way Mufasa fell and made him fall more realisticly, trying to land on his 4 legs.
I didn't notice that
I knew it!
I noticed it!! I even thought he WAS!
It still looked like someone threw their stuffed animal into the grand canyon.
The visuals were absolutely breathtaking. That’s basically what I thought was better.
You didn’t discuss one of the most disappointing things for me. The scene where Simba is hanging from pride rock and Scar whispers that he killed Mufasa, in the animated one Simba like jumps up with rage and yells ”murderer” but in this one he just like bites Scar’s mane and pulls himself up. It was so underwhelming, and there were lots of moments like that where I was like, you have more creative liberties when something is animated and therefore not fit to be live action. So it was good, cause it’s basically a carbon copy of the original (which literally everyone loves) and they knew, I mean surely they knew that you cant make it as good or better than the original so why even try. And that’s what I felt leaving the theatre. That this was utterly unnecessary.
But people would be mad if they changed it so it's loose loose situation no body will be happy bo matter what because people like to be angry and the movie is not a carbon copy it's more different than people realize so when the DVD comes out I hope they prove that. To me its was more powerful because it was photo real and I was moved by the whole thing. The point is to bring it to a new generation. This all my opinion for trying to troll or hate on you. Peace
Can we talk about J’s shirt now?

WHERE MA PANCAKES AT?
HERE!
@@szaboluca5536 Imma Slytherin but my sister, husband and best friend are pancakes!!!!! YAY PANCAKES!
Pancake pride!!
Not gonna lie I was kind of hoping for Zazu to sing the Morning Report like he did in one version of the animated movie
I think it might of been playing in the background of the morning report scene with Mufasa...?
I’m not entirely sure though...
@@paukah064 Oh well, it gives me an excuse to go see it again to check.
I understood that Be Prepared wasn't in it originally, so maybe it was a last-minute rushed edition? Also, they couldn't beat Jeremy Irons whoever they cast!!
havent gotten used to the new intro as yet lol been a subscriber for so long..
Same
I haven’t watched their videos for a while because idk why, so this is the first one I’ve watched in a while, and it kind of startled me
Definitely can relate
Same! But I love the new into 🤓
They don't say "hey brother" with as much enthusiasm as the last one
I got a bad feeling....a sequel is already in the making!
I really didn't like the new version of "can you feel the love tonight?"
The problem I have with this is Timon. In the original movie at the start of the song he talks in a very sarcastic and kind of upset tone, and it adds a lot to the song and helps us know exactly what he's feeling. In the live action version we just don't get that... He's not sarcastic, and his attempt at French accent is very poor, when in the original movie it's very good and funny.
54:30 that idea you said about Rafiki with Thor’s Hammer, if HISHE did a video on the live action lion king movie, that totally sounds like something they would put in 😂
The amount of 4th walls broken and the amount of references broke me dead 😂😂
That moment where Rafiki holds Simba up at the beginning of the movie is so iconic that if u have a cat and have not done it with ur cat while sing (or watching the movie) Circle Of Life then u r not owning ur cat right.
I felt so let down when “ be prepared” like I got more emotional than mufasa’s death
Scar said be prepared way too much in that one scene!!
Cem Demirel too*
@@joesouthall7235 thx
Cem Demirel sorry I’m a pain
I actually didn’t notice Rifiki was crouching. Oops.
Me tooo
I think I did or at least I noticed that something was off. I remember the feeling of annoyance. I watched it like a few weeks ago, so I'm not sure.
J should do a Disney experiment on his son Luke, show him the live action before the animated...
This is EVIL!
All the same points I noticed while watching it. I think the thing with how Rafiki fights with the stick was supposed to be made more realistic to how actual baboons use sticks when they fight. One thing I noticed was when Scar and Sarabi have their argument at the end. Scar gave his "I'm 10 times the king Mufasa was!" line but because they changed it Sarabi never mentioned Mufasa. So that whole reaction doesn't make sense.
I'd also watch a Rafiki Thor movie.
The Lion King: Was It Worth It?
Answer: no
I love how timon blamed everything on Pumba!!😂🤣🤣
Same! The remake was better with timone since his character is supposed to be very selfish and self centered
