Doug reviews live action lion king:
Fans: Aw shit, here we go again
Its garbage
0:02 Great choice of words Doug.
It's like what Timon said in O.G. Lion King...
"And everybody's okay with this? DID I MISS SOMETHING??!!"
Yes! My exact reaction after watching the remake
Disney: "These are our 'new' ideas."
Pumbaa: "I always thought they were balls of gas burning billions of miles away."
Timon : Bad things happen and you can't do anything about it right ?
Simba : Right
Timon : Wrong
Tilmon : if you want Disney to stop making these terrible live-action remakes, then stop wasting your money on them.
@@jerelminter
Simba: But other people are wasting their money too.
@EpicDj388 so they're playing to their target demographic?

Sometimes, dead is better.
Doug 'Zombie' Walker.
@quik-ez Because they maybe want to use offensive words without offending certain demographics, even if that makes no sense since the word - semi-censored or uncensored - is still used.
@@ajpat9620 because he didn't like your favorite movie?
At the end of Be Prepared I just went “WHAT WAS THAT?”
Same
My favorite villian song and they did this shit 😒
Me too. That was the one scene that legitimately pissed me off.
Wait be prepared was in this movie? I just remember scar and the hyenas weirdly chanting
The better creepersbeware67 that was it.
S A M E
The Lion King (1994) is the peak of the Disney Renaissance
The Lion King (2019) is the rock bottom of the live action remakes
No be prepared, No He Lives In You, No expansion on the story, Shortened Spectacle, No emotion-1/10 Remake
Plenty of heart, colorful scenery, epic spectacle, plenty of emotion, great music and songs-10/10 original.
What I’m saying is everything the animated film did in comparison with the remake was better, but the stuff the remake could’ve done like expand on the story and do what the animated film couldn’t do because of the limited runtime it didn’t do. And we don’t know what Disney will do. The remake should’ve been twice as long as the original and added some elements the original didn’t but nope like Doug said “total shit”
Now that I think about it I’ll probably view the lion guard show. I had no desire to see it before but now I think maybe I’ll see what it can do
@powerstar 2028 I've had conversations with myself about this before. If the original was Fantasias length "126 minutes" they could do that. Maybe as animated movies get longer maybe they can do more.
rock bottom so far...
Doug: Simba’s hair flys around, gets eaten by a giraffe, and gets shitted out!
Me: lol, funny joke
Doug: This actually happened in the movie!
Me: Oh...
As if that wasn't gross enough, then a dung beetle starts rollin' it around.
🤢🤮
Yeah I was shocked to find out that he was serious scant believe Disney foam funny wholesome groundbreaking stuff to the film equivalent to bethesda or EA or insert evil soulless corporation no one likes...
worst scene in movie
WTF????!!!!
The most unnecessary scene, literary just to make Rafiki (????) know that Simba still alive.
And it took FOREVER!!!
the funny thing is they wanted it to look "realistic" yet even ACTUAL REAL LIONS are more expressive than the ones in the remake
Somehow even my childhood little ponies and barbies had more expressive emotions stamped on their lifeless faces!
No, they are not.
I don't think they studied real animals at all for this... LIKE THEY DID FOR THE 1994 MOVIE!!
I don’t get it Narnia movies made their lion expressive and that was more than a decade ago.
Because real Lions don't show expression dipshit
I don't know what's scarier, comedically pissed Doug, or genuinely pissed Doug.
Watch his Pearl Harbor review. He gets genuinely pissed and it is scary.
What’s scary is how Doug’s neck is getting redder every second from his rant
Genuinely pissed. If he’s going to do the annoying screaming and going apeshit act, seeing him actually upset is horrifying. “Comedically” pissed isn’t even really funny
@@sketchygetchey8299”YOU SON OF A BIIIIIIII-!!!!!”
I burst out laughing in the theater today when Simba screamed NOOOOO with a blank emotionless stare 😂
Is it like those computer animated facial expressions in Fallout?
Literal Bread
Nick Valentine, the robot with Fallout’s facial expressions, has more fucking expression than Simba.
@@SharkyMcSnarkface oh... OH.
I can't believe that death scene... actually made me laugh...
And die a little inside.
Scar’s Face when he Appeared in the cliff side to Yeet Mufasa like “you fucking bitch can’t believe anyone thought you were mighty”
"Why be alive when dead is enough?"
Doug should write metal songs.
Azariah Clay sometimes. Dead is bettah
Sounds like a hypothetical unreleased Pantera album. "Dead Is Enough" (1999)
He is a Slipknot fan he can be their writer 😂
I want to see Doug dressed as the professor from futurama saying “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore”
Either that or the robot version of farnsworth
Dr. Farnsworth approves.
"Long. Live..? THE king!"
The most awkward line delivery I have ever heard in a Disney movie.
madenna100 God, I know. The original delivery was so menacing and creepy. The remake was just bad.
The villains have absolutely no personality
@@stardust1815 that are your though
Did he really say it like that? Tf is wrong with this movie?
@@oldiesvideos1826 tf is wrong with disney?!
Fun Fact: Elton John (one of the people who worked on the music for the 1994 animated Lion King movie, Lion King 1 1/2, and the 2019 live-action remake as well) hated this live-action remake. I can't even blame him. This movie was terrible.
When a movie is so bad That Doug is more in character than an actual NC episode 😳
And I can totally understand it...
It's a state of mind of people just praising everything because there is a certain "brand" with a good rep behind it.
When the original had an import message transported in a beautiful way and it's TOTALLY cut out in the remake and people still clap because they have a vague memory of the original and can somehow associate but can not distinguish, THEN...... it IS frightening.
He's totally a critic at heart and I love that about him
I really dislike Critic because he mainly does his youtube for clout and NC is his only successful formula which has lost its touch… but this review will always stand as my favourite. Just seeing him go apeshit and super upset about this garbage film can automatically put words and my exact thoughts and feelings after I saw this cinematic disaster
@@cloudshines812 I love Nostalgia Critic for his funny, classic and timeless reviewing character and he's never lost his touch but his fans are so divisive. If anyone who has lost their touch its fucking AVGN aka Frank Grimes to Nostalgia Critic's Homer Simpson who pretty much was the opposite and he aged like milk as back as 2012 and he no longer was funny or progressing and I no longer watch him and yet somehow people are brainless to miss to see the genius of NC and the trash of AVGN. Nostalgia Critic I can take any day week month or year over the Awful Video Game Nerd.
I think you mean more in character than any of the characters in the Lion King remake
Hey guys
I just came to say that Aslan from the Narnia movies has more facial expressions in a 14 year older movie
Peace
And I was impressed by how realistic Aslan was
@@Claudanne2 Was? I still am!

@@Claudanne2 The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian both hold up excellently
@@lionsmaneorchestra1238 You mean Voyage of the Dawn treader wasn't as good? Because that's the most recent one I've watched and it may berr distorting my memory of the other two
This movie made $191 Million domestic on it's opening weekend.
It's made almost $1 Billion globally by now.
It has an 88% audience score.
Nothing matters anymore.
Nothing matters.
Nothing.
Yep. As mad as I am at Disney for making this artistically bankrupt piece of shit, I'm far more pissed off at the sheep who financially rewarded them for it. Fuck this movie, and fuck everyone who saw this movie who wasn't a film critic or a little kid too young to know any better.
Don’t give up, good art will return.
To the 88% that liked this piece of shit, I will judge them until my dying day.

*~What took place after Simba speaks to Ghost/Cloud Mufasa~*
*1994*
Rafiki: What was that?! Ha ha, the weather! Very peculiar, don't you think?
Simba: Yeah. Looks like the winds are changing.
Rafiki: Ahh, change is good.
Simba: Yeah, but it's not easy. I know what I have to do, but going back means I'll have to face my past. I've been running from it for so long.
Simba: OW! Jeez, what was that for?!
Rafiki: It doesn't matter! It's in the past!
Simba: Yeah, but it still hurts.
Rafiki: Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or... learn from it.
Rafiki: Ha ha! You see? So what are you going to do?
Simba: First, I'm gonna take your stick!
Rafiki: Nononono! Not the stick! Hey! Where are you going?
Simba: I'm going back!
Rafiki: Good! Go on! Get out of here!
*2019*
Rafiki: And so, I ask, again, "Who are you?"
Simba: I am Simba, son of Mufasa.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Just insulting with how they butchered crucial scenes. I hated the remake with a burning passion.
I love when Doug is just pissed off and rants.
That's the old school nostalgia critic
If Doug Walker does a clip-less review of this Lion King remake, can you imagine all of his scene reenactments just showing high-definition animal photographs, which are animated like popsicle-stick puppets and have voice clips dubbed over them?
I think that could be really funny and illustrate, in a nutshell, one of this remake’s biggest problems.
Mark Cobuzzi I hate clip-less reviews.
Right? The more he hates the movie, the more entertaining the review is
Also better when we too hate the movie in question and he's not condescending like he often is.
Also he's got a point.
So this is how imagination dies, with thunderous applause.
Also applies to who they call "undesirables" getting killed. It's a dangerous mindset to have.
I think i'm the only one who understood that reference.
"Your remakes are your weakness."
Disney: "Your faith in the studio is yours."
@@JunYah7 oh yeah, Star Wars is so niche.
Now disney needs a new imagination
Creativity: "Disney, you have forgotten me."
Disney: "No! How could we? You're in our mission statement!"
Creativity: "You have forgotten who you are, and so forgotten me."
Consumers: "Look inside yourself, Disney. You are MORE than what you have become. You MUST take your place among those who care more about art than money."
Disney: "How could we go back to being creative? We're not who we used to be. We're 'more innovative' now. Why try, when laziness can make $$ too?"
Consumers: "Remember WHOSE you are! You were founded by Walt Disney--a man who loved making art to share with the world. Your primary function is to create quality art for us to enjoy, not to make as much $$ as possible to blow on yourselves. Remember!"
Disney: "No! Don't leave us! We'll buy up all the competition, if we have to!"
Consumers: "Remember!"
Disney: "Don't leave us! . . . Fine. We're officially becoming a monopoly. Enjoy your thrown-together 'art,' Mouseketeers. Have a Disney Day!"

Said like a boss lol I agree
Amazing, how long did it take you to make this.

When Nostalgia Critic is mad its funny.
When Doug is mad its scary.
I llreqlly live how you dont consider the 'nostalgia critic' persona his identity. Hes just Doug, hes a normal guy like all of us
I shed an actual tear watching Doug lose all hope in humanity.
See now Live action lion king extended cut, with Doug put in right after the Mufasa stampede scene to give you the emotion you are supposed to feel there, cause the movie itself fails to do so.
For humanity no but for Disney fans yeah
Literally in the first 2 minutes you can see his neck getting red from all that anger
There's more passion in this video than in all the Disney remakes combined.
It reminds me of Pluto from Popeye.
@@literalbread937 XD
It looks like his head is about to explode lmao
Holy shit.
Aslan from Narnia had more expression than this Lion King remake
Julian Marrero Agreed
And that movie came out 14 years ago
That’s sad😂
Thank You!!
Nathaniel Morton when you say it like that.... my God...
I cried at mufasa’s death in the remake. But it wasn’t a sad cry. It was a cry of trying to hold back laughter
Orion Eclipse i cried because Disney failed hard
When simba “screamed” no I shouted “No one gives a shit” at the screen and EVERYONE around me nodded.😂😂
Scar's death was more effective here.
It was more brutal and intense, but well done here.
One of the only highlights of the film.
As well as 11:07.
Had us in the first half
Same. I couldn't breathe from how hard I laughed
The movie was so bad it brought out Doug’s inner Nostalgia Critic lol
Oh yeah. If I was making a Nostalgia Critic movie it would be an origin story: Doug gets broken after watching Lion King remake and becomes the Critic...

I’m sorry.😂
The one thing that pissed me off the most was how short they made the Be Prepared scene! That's my fave song and scene from the original!
Same
I was soooooo pissed about this
@Nintendo Overdrive had not thought of it that way lol! Think I was so disappointed in not hearing my favorite villain song that I didn't really think much about why. I think maybe they could have reworked the lyrics and found a way to include it though, minus the Nazi imagery.
The song sucked and no nazi marching and the hyenas were bland boring characters
Oh yes!!
Now this is a classic Nostalgia Critic rant. Thank you, Lion King remake. You gave us one good thing.
RW K YES. My sentiments exactly.
The only other good thing it gave us was the opportunity to see the original characters on store shelves again. Those displays look the same as they did in 1994 and are more nostalgic than anything in this remake. And that probably has more to do with toy stores still being a huge thing back then and the merchandise push for the original was massive.
For Real!
All Nostalgia Critic episodes are better than the Lion King remake or even all the Disney remakes.
They cut......the Rafiki scene....?
THAT SCENE WAS LITERALLY THE ENTIRE MESSAGE OF THE FILM. HOW DO YOU CUT THAT? HOW DO THEY DO IT HERE THEN?
Ghoste Writer Rafiki: it doesn’t matter. It’s in the past
Or not considering when you saw the movie
Everyone: Oh wow I love that scene with Rafiki, that’s the true message of the film and one of the best parts of the movie
Disney: It doesn’t matter, it’s in the past...
Because that moral contradicts their new business strategy
They made a dozen shitty remakes in the past and haven't learned anything
Honestly I’d love to see rafiki smack simba over the head
This film has no fucking message
Maybe they were clapping in the theater because it was finally over.
I wouldn't clap if that shit stain was over.I probably would throw the popcorn at the screen.
Or Hans Zimmer's iconic ending music
@@halejordan but that would be wasting popcorn and energy

Nostalgia critic broke out of Doug character because of passion.
@Miranda TheGerm I have a question for you
@Miranda TheGerm did u like this film
@Miranda TheGerm I almost fell asleep....it was just a watered down version of the lion king
Disney Animators: Shouldn't we be actually trying to do something new and creative even with our live action remakes?
Chartman: Well the chart says...
we don't have time to be creative...creativity is expensive...we are here to make money...you work for us so it is your job to insure we make as much money as quickly as possible and with the absolute minimum of effort that can be obtained ...
Raxephsis Deis how unfortunate
SCREW THE CHART!!!!!!!
Aladdin remake was actually good and was different enough from the original.
@@soul6733 So why can't we get more of that then?
Completely unoriginal. If anything, the CGI was the highlight.
Bobby Boberson And even that’s not saying much when you consider how restrictive it is.
One thing that bothered me was when Mufasa died he just said, “Help me!” He didn’t even say, “Brother, help me!” Which carries a lot more meaning and weight to it!! So lazy. I hated it. The movie had no life.
Same for me.
One sliver of credit I'll give them is that they did try to make up for it by having Simba say "My father? Your brother? HOW COULD YOU?!" near the end, which I thought was a great line...shame the facial expression on remake Simba did not match his voice AT ALL.
@@AllyGatorAnimator hehehehehe, reminds me of that one line from Red Sonja. "You murdered my family, like cattle. My brother....MY SISTER!."
They wanted to change it slightly but whenever they did they fucked it up.
Well my theater experience ended with a black dude saying, "THIS MOVIE STINKS" and everyone laughed....

ChasehaWing oh god. This movie and Pearl Harbor are just horrible
You should see him reviewing The Last Airbender. He nearly lost his mind reviewing that so-called movie
He was trying to hang himself in the cinema that's why it's red
Aslan the Lion was more expressive than "live action" Simba, and that was back in 2005 or 2006.
hell the bears from the country bears has more expression. and those are animatronics and puppeteering back in the early 2000s
THANK YOU!!! I was just about to say that.
Simba had more emotion in Kingdom Hearts 2 than in LK2019. And that was a video game from 2006
I cried at mufasa's death in the original.
I laughed at mufasa's death in the remake.

@@isaigutierrez1617 for real like the transition that zoomed from Simba's eye in the original was definitely needed for the drama. To just do a cut to a close up of Simba's face in the remake with his normal sized eyes ruins the feeling of horror.

Yeah scar punched him for no reason

The most metal thing Doug has said ever.
How these reviews start:
Beauty and the Beast: Starts off with a goofy rap.

The Lion King: Angry clapping and saying "TOTAL! SHIT!"

Mulan: “Congratulations Disney… you did it again”
Pinnochio: “Well this one isn’t as terrible but… *Deeply Sighs* “
The Little Mermaid: “Oh…what do you think I thought of it?”
Evolution of Doug and The Lion King.
Disneycember: Says the film is overrated and points out the flaws more than the positives.

THIS was actually one of the reasons why I was REALLY mad at this movie.
It is actually THE most essential and important philosophy that you can get from the original.
And the "Mufasa-Cloud"-scene was so lifeliess in the remake.
sorry, but I'm getting tears when I see this scene in the original. It has such a huge impact!
you know what really pisses me off?
the panning effect of Simba right after Mufasa's death
Poor Doug... Jeez... Someone grab him a bottle of booze, a nice fluffy blanket, and just let him marathon all of the OG Disney movies that he likes. The guy deserves it.
Honestly, if I was him, I'd watch all the Disney projects from this decade that I like. I need something to tell me that they've still got it.
@Dartan Yoogels well it dosent help (for me anyway) that I only thought 2 of those three were actually good (well, DISNEY good anyway)

@@RockerMicke1
I'm definitely not sympathetic, to him
My question is why is this called live action. It's just a bunch of CGI there's not even real actors. It should be called CGI remake
Disney doesn't call it live action...only people do
The grass is alive.
If the film were classified as animated, it wouldn't get nominated for any Oscars outside the animation category. That's my theory, anyway.
@@adamokeefe4443 it shouldn't get nominated but the oscars are dumb so .....
"What's live action about it?" "The ground."
Doc Ock: brilliant but lazy
Disney: WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!?!
Disney apologists say "IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE REALISTIC" as an excuse for its blandness. Seriously, real animals are expressive, even if it's not through their faces, their eyes and body language display how animals feel. The animals in the remake are just so robotic and souless.
I'll say. My dogs and my cat are always intriguing to look at because of how expressive they are in their bodies. The animals in this movie were completely lifeless
Ditto 73 Not only that but you can’t be realistic for something that’s suppose to be creative and emotional.
You know its bad when you get Doug acting like Nostalgia Critic XD
GabiTehOtaku I don’t think he was acting here
The only time I’ve seen him angrier was his Garbage Pail Kids rant.
Dillon Ohlemiller He wasn’t. Nostalgia Critic has elements of Doug’s personality, so it comes through from time to time. His Pearl Harbor review is a good example of this.
When NC gets too emotional you get glimpses of Doug (eg the Roger Ebert video).
When Doug gets too pissed you get glimpses of Nostalgia critic
Melody Richardson I know. I saw it
Disney: *finishes the live action remakes*
Disney: Alright, time to remake the films again... this time in claymation
That would actually be kind of better.
Darknova No!!! Now it’s gonna give a bad reputation to an underrated art form so it’s even more underrated. Heck, even really great CG is under-appreciated just because of how it’s used and how much it’s used.
I would actually freaking enjoy that. That requires effort.
I’m not saying the CGI in this didn’t require effort, but I always laugh at the idea of filmmakers filming barren landscapes so that CGI can be put over it. Like how boring must that have been?
Don't give them ideas
Darknova makes a finding marlin ratatouille 2 and a baby version of monsters inc
Lion King 2 and 1 1/2 had more heart and emotion than the remake
What's funny, is that everyone is calling it the 'live-action' Lion King, but EVERYWHERE on Wikipedia it's listed as an animated movie. :D
It’s just another form of animation
Live action is another word for animated movie
First second: “total shit!”
Me: Yeah knew it
*Well, They did it, made it and it happened* *Disney, What the Sam Hill Happened to you.*
*At least Dumbo(2019) had Eva Green voluptuousness and good performance and Danny Devito's humor and hammyness, THIS, has nothing.

Apparently, the movie was one long advertisement for Beyonce's new album. That's how some of my friends described it.
lies she is not in the movie for the first 1 hour and when she is she only has one little extra song that it is not like they stopped the whole movie to sing a solo number(jasmine in aladdin smh) ...she is fine the movie is great i loved it!!! no i didnt like what they did to be preparade!!!! i wanted to see the same movie but with live animals and thats what i got !!!! so yea
@@misterranksz3950 awesome for you.
Mister Ranksz that little extra song was worse than jasmines extra song, at least with jasmine it was a new scene but here they ruined an epic scene to shoehorn her song where it didn’t belong
@@misterranksz3950 the Song did not fit. Honestly i am extremely disappointed since they had the broadway actress for rafiki to sing circle of life and they had their chance to have beyonce sing Shadowlands from the musical giving enough time since they cut be prepared* but they chose to pan out the lion sleeps tonight instead.. and promote a beyonce song that did not fit at all in the film. At least Speechless fit in Aladdin's film
I find beyonce to be absolutely insufferable irregardless of its her music her shit acting or her as a person in general, she has been one of my least favorite actresses ever since she was in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and the worst part is that she actually seems to think that she's "improving" despite almost 20 year elapsing and her performances still being more wooden than a plywood cutout.
They should have tried to get someone like Tina Turner to play the character because she could have lent so much more gravitas emotion and power to her because she has that "I'm in control" attitude without being a haughty stuck up bitch.

Weep, and you'll weep alone."
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
And those who do are doomed to watch.
Doug has finally snapped. The Nostalgia Critic snapped long ago, but the insanity seeped into the character.
It's about damn time. Disney deserves the wrath of Doug.
@@Dinossword That whole thing is a lost cause at this point.
@@Dinossword I bet he has, but again it shouldn't detract how awful the Lion King remake is. It's one of the few reviews I strongly agree with.
Trygve Plaustrum He’s gone crazy!
Want Doug to look crazier? Put the playback speed at 1.25. You're welcome.
Full...Power!
Wow. You know it’s bad when he’s basically saying the best part of the film was Timon and Pumbaa.
Especially since he never really liked Timon and Pumbaa.
Yeah and the worst part is that he is absolutely right
But they were already the best part of the movie ( in a good way)
Long live Seth fn Rogen
@@James352_ yeah but Doug hate them a lot, which make it really surprising.
The funny thing is Homeward Bound had no expressions. Yet, the voices had emotion so you still felt for them. This failed even in that part as they sounded like they were just reading off the script.
Completely agree. I actually bawled (and still do) watching Homeward Bound. This movie? Not even tear. Only emotion I really felt was boredom.
I was just going to say the same thing. Everyone's complaining about how the characters in this film "have no human-like expressions and so they're soulless to us," and I'm like, "Have you cynical bastards SEEN 'Homeward Bound'?"
@@AliciaNyblade The animals showed emotion in Homeward Bound. Like when Shadow jumps up to get Kirkwood away from the fence so Chance could get free and they run from the pound, he's pissed and protective. Sassy in the river she looks panicked and scared, Chance near the end after Shadow falls down in the hole, he looks worried, after the cougar escape Chance is jumping all over Shadow, the reunion with Sassy they were happy and excited, her jumping on Shadow and Chance running up to her wagging his tail, and then the reunions with the family.
They were real animals though, not CGI animation. Maybe that has something to do with it. But you'd think they could have made the faces more expressive for TLK.
I watched homeward bound the other day! I remember watching it when i was little. It's cheesy yea, but it's wholesome though
Hadn't even thought of that... great point!
I was half expecting him to go “You son of a BIIIITCH!!!!” at the end like he did in his Pearl Harbor rant XD.
I will never forget the sound when Simba first spots the stampede in the original. It was terrifying for a kid. IT was a "Whhhhhhooooashhh!" Sound as it zoomed in on him realizing he was going to die. Then the stampede was biblical in size and almost liquid.
The new one was like watching a sheep herding show. Meh.
Whats sad is that Walt Disney himself prided in imagination and fantasy.. his animators were called "imagineers" for a reason. He would be turning in his grave right now...
People make the claim that Disney wanted all of the disney movies to be remade so that the company would always stay alive and none of these stories would fade from peoples memories. I'm calling bullshit on it! I want proof of this "fact" and if I'm wrong and I do get proof then...Disney's betrayed the imagination he wanted to protect.
I've been saying the same thing for years. Nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks so
Walt Disney would be ashamed of what the company has become now
@Balon Greyjoy I really wasn't expecting Nazism to turn up here, but it's the Internet, I should always expect Nazism.
@@Norway604 People have no fear of writing their terrible racist opinions online when they're not held responsible for their own opinions.
James Earl Jones gave the absolutely most phoned in performance I have ever seen. Compared to the original, he showed ABSOLUTELY NO emotion. I mean NONE. I could barely believe that it was the same man who has given the performances he has
He was like "Am I really going to have to do this again? I already did this before, phone that sucker in."
I’ve never seen Doug so honest and real
We need Don Bluth to give Disney a hard time like in the 80s.
Or Ralph Bakshi
For real. He helped spark the 2nd Golden Age. Time to do it for the 3rd.
Time to reward Disney’s competition, possibly the Japanese animated movies. A Silent Voice is a legit masterpiece and way above anything Disney’s been churning out in the last decade.
You just made me realize that Disney's biggest competition right now is fucking Illumination. God, movies suck so bad right now.
YES.
The worst sin of this remake is the absolute butchering of one of the greatest Disney villain songs of all time. "Be Prepared" was completely gutted where every other song on the OST was left untouched. It was completely heartbreaking to hear.
Agreed.
Of course they gave that god awful Beyonce song maximum play time so all the little lemmings go out and buy it
No one was prepared for that
They totally butchered the song. I was so upset because it was my favorite from the original.
I was so pissed off when that happened
I had read a long way back that they were initially going to cut Be Prepared out altogether but put it back in due to fan backlash. Gutting it like you said was probably Disney's revenge sadly.
Proof that this film will be forgotten:
Have you heard anyone talk about the 101 Dalmations remake in recent years?
I had the live action movie on VHS as a child. Never again have I watched it to this day. 😂
There was a remake?
@@literalbread937 Yeah back in '95 or '96 I think.
I was always annoyed by how in the movies, they changed Pongo's Mate's name from Missus to Perdita. Perdita was the name of the other dog that the human owners found to care for Missus puppies later on. Why change her name?
Disney: "WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!" 😂😂😂
Doug: "Why be alive when dead is enough?"
2020: "Take notes b*tch"
You know a movie is bad when Doug Walker acts like less like Doug Walker and more like the Nostalgia Critic.
EDIT: Not to sound full of myself but thank you for liking my comment. I wouldn’t have thought I’d get over a thousand likes.
Actually he sounds more like Spoony after seeing something really bad like Quarantine...
So true
I second that!
Nicolas Crump he’s aloud to have an opinion 😅
Hahaha true
It really bothers me how people say live action is better and animation is for children. I seriously see no advantage in LA over animation. Animation can do everything LA can do and so much more.
Well said
Isadora Costa Hamsi The Kung Fu Panda movies, the LEGO Movie, and yes, even the original Disney movies filled me with so much joy, and even made me cry at certain moments. But that’s the power of animation, so to you: 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 “Woooo!!!”
The only advantage is that it's cheaper.
I am the exact same way. I grew up with incredible movies and shows that were animated and they have left more of an impact, more of an impression on me than any live action movie. I just find it insulting. When ever anyone says that live action is better than animation, I just give them this deadpan look and I'm like "Have you even seen animation!!!!??"
Who framed Rogger Rabbit is the only exception.
I feel like dougs been more heavily affected by this than people realize. Hes realizing whats been culminating for decades.
On the back of the Disney blu ray quote reads :- (“Total Sh*t”:- Doug Walker) 😂😂😂🔥👍🔥🔥
Does it really say it?
Ummmm guys I think Disney just broke Doug.
I thought they did that with Mary Poppins Returns
Doug.exe has stopped responding
Or forced him to take Steroids.
Guanglai Kangyi, Age 15 Except he didn’t find it awful, it just hit him in the right area considering he loves the first movie. Here, he never really had that strong of a connection to the original 1994 film.
If this movie was food, it would be microwaved French fries.
Honestly, I think even microwaved French fries would be better than this.
I mean... At least the french fries have substance
Wouldn't that make it Food Fight?
@White Lee Ross it would be a rice cake
It would actually be more akin to a regurgitated chunk of tomahawk ribeye
Next up live action Shrek and Miley Cyrus plays as Fiona
God. Forbid. Haven't we all heard enough from Miley Cyrus?
Shrek isn't a Disney movie though, and Dreamworks hasn't hopped on the live-action remake train (Thankfully).
More like next up live action toy story with terrifying cg designs like the characters from beauty and the beast 2017
@@ffjreviews9029 well its not going to happen because pixar said that they PROMISE that their never a live action toy story and of their other films like monsters inc,wall E ,up,a bugs life so yeah pixar is definitely 100 billion times better then modern day disney because their LAZY
I saw the death scene on TH-cam. Scar hits him like a cat knocks over a cup. There was no realization that his brother was going to kill him, the horror in his face clear as day. It was soulless.
‘Dear Disney. Please use Doug’s grand range of expressions for future film reference. Also....just stop. Sincerely Everyone.’ 🤣
Falsetto neuroticism is really just one expression tbh
@@onedeadpixel10 More than the 0.24 expression the movie had.
Doug hates this film so much, he became a human mood ring. Dude went from Mello fellow to anger of a thousand suns red, in under two minutes.
I think Angron is more chill than Doug right now.....and he's got the butchers nails driving the rage.
In the original remember when Mufasa had just saved Simba and Nala from the elephant graveyard and needs to speak to Simba alone? Remember how he says "SIMBA!" in a booming voice and how Simba cowers and you feel his fear and guilt? In that same scene in the remake Simba's expression doesn't change at all.. I dunno, it's weird how this thing got green lit.
I'm living for this rant. It's incredible. I'm watching a man having a mental breakdown and I don't want it to end.
I agree 9000%..... And yes I laughed when Mufasa died. Half of the Theater were kids, only one cried. I remember watching the original at the theater when I was a kid and the whole theater cried. So ya, completely emotionless.
I only cried because 1. I don't like watching such exotic animals die and 2. I was remembering the original movie.
I didn't laugh, but I felt nothing. On the other hand, I was 15 when I saw the original; I'm 40 now and still usually skip over Mufasa's death because I just can't take it. I'm tearing up right now just thinking about it.
Lucas Miranda when he died I laughed too...😂
Lucas Miranda i don’t agree. I liked it a lot
😟😠If you can't get my most hated scene in the movie correct, you know that movie is dead!!😭😂

im sorry but your going to haft to put him down

How dare they take out the rafiki scene! Im angry im not depressed im angry!
I’m so sorry for your experience, Doug...
I'm sorry he felt that way
Haa
Thankfully I'm not falling for Disney's tricks
"Beauty and the Beast made me angry, this made me depressed." oof
@@ajpat9620 Remake? You are kidding, right? I get that everybody has their own taste but, objectively it wasn't good in any aspect, acting was abysmal, it was horrible adaptation, the music was ear bleedingly bad (not as bad as "Let it go" though, this "song" was like nails scratching the chalkboard to me), there was no chemistry between characters, choreography sucked big time and acton sequences was awful.
@@ajpat9620 beauty and the beast movie is shit just like lion king remake
I'll just keep watching the original Lion King which is way better.
aj pat Lmao your so fucking triggered hahaha you look Pathetic
Don't watch Mulan, can't be good for you
The movie was 2/10 for me until Pumbaa said "fart" then it became 2.5/10 🤣
Your point on "animation can exaggerate in ways that 'live action' can't" reminded me of how in How to Train Your Dragon, they scaled up the big dragon at the end in certain scenes because they wanted the action to feel more intense. How come some people think realism has to not include exaggeration in animation, even if it's CGI? That was my biggest problem with the movie. They didn't even push the boundaries of animal anatomy to give them more life. Heck, they didn't even make the animals act differently from real life. Timon doesn't even ever lift his arms or move his body AT ALL. I think real life animals have more character, actually.
Ten bucks says that people will still flock to see it by the bus loads
+Yael Murillo No bet.
Same with Beauty and the beast
It's Already made around $100 million within 48 hours.
It says "Disney" on it. There's a vast population of people that are by now conditioned to froth over everything that says "Disney" on it like it's perfect.
It's weird. I just got back from the first showing and I chose second to the last seat available so by the reserve chart it was a packed theater but when the movie started it was only half full. O_o
Here’s an idea that I’ve had. If we want Disney to stop releasing these pointless and cringe worthy remakes than we can just stop seeing them in theaters so they won’t make any money.
If only general audiences didn't exist. They'll flock to see this garbage no matter what
Yakko Warner , Yeah. Its sad but true. We’re probably living in one of those dark timelines that people keep talking about.
time for the South Park version of lion king with Samuel L.Jackson in one of the lead roles
Scott Mantooth , That actually sounds like a cool idea. I mean at least it’s something compared to the “live action” remake.
