Animation of Scar from "The Lion King"

I created this fan animation of Scar from Disney's "The Lion King" using audio from a Jeremy Irons interview.

[@AllbeeHivezChristianAllbee]

The hand gesture when he says “Whippersnapper” is classic Scar all around😂

[@fuckalldisneyremakesorigin5560]

I'm sorry break you. The reason why James Earl Jones reprised his role as Mufasa is not because he's the only one who can pull his voice but because he's black and Jon Favreau wanted to make an african ethnic presentation. James Earl Jones was too old too, he sound tired in the whole movie.

Live action is a funny term to use because (ignoring the Computer-animated nature), nothing in that movie looked Live, nor was their much action in the shoots either. They just stand and stare most of the time, you'd almost get something more convincing out of just making an animatic or still comic panel presentation, since then you could just do fewer-more-detailed Shots and actually make them emote.
