How 'The Lion King' Remake Was Animated | Movies Insider

“The Lion King” remake brought the beloved 1994 animated classic into 2019 with a mix of CGI animation and live-action filming techniques. We talked to Elliot Newman of MPC Film about creating fur, building environments, and creating characters like Rafiki and Scar, as well as how cast members like Donald Glover, Billy Eichner, and Seth Rogen got to perform in an incredibly unique set-up.

Disney, a wealthy company, might be hated for its greed, but at least in the behind the scenes, the people working on live-action remakes are trying their best to replicate the animated films into something fresh, but all the hard work cost them nothing. I do understand what the audience thought about the live-action remakes, but they can be snobbish sometimes when it comes to nostalgia.

[@WiseOnion]

it needed more facial expression to bring the life out of the characters, other than that it's a great work of art

[@LightStreak567]

The truth is, animals use mostly body language than just facial expressions to convey their emotions. You need to be more open minded. Just because a creature doesn't have eyebrows does not mean that its emotions cannot be read.

[@clintdona4586]

LightStreak567 yeah, i personally liked it for that reason. I think they put good effort into the body language uwu

[@WiseOnion]

@@LightStreak567 i get that the movie's aim was to make the visual aspect realistic and you're statement is supportive of that. But what separates Lion King from lions we see on Discovery Channel is SPEECH.There's a disconnect between the "realistic features" and the animals talking very theatrically. It sucks the soul out of the characters.

[@LightStreak567]

@@WiseOnion The "disconnect" between the realistic features and the animals talking theatrically is an inevitable thing when you're making a live action remake of an animated movie. You can't deny that the "disconnect" exists in the original animated cartoon movie too, you and everyone else criticizing the "absence" of emotion in the characters use the "disconnect" to discredit the live action remake. However, the filmmakers of the original cartoon movie made sure that the animals were not too "humanized". Though they have facial expressions like us, they also conveyed their emotions through body language. For example, when Simba is sad, his ears are flat. That's an almost universal sign of sadness in animals.

[@miamama9886]

@@LightStreak567 LOL, But when Mufasa dies in the lion king 2019, Simba ears are not flat, it lacks emotions in everyway except voice performances - and that actually makes things worse, it creates a huge disconect between what we see and what we hear. You are defending this movie blindly.

@@Raemey as someone who was obsessed with lion king especially lion king 2. The live action version although impressive in my opinion wasn’t the greatest. Yes it was very similar but just the colors alone kinda made it meh. In the original they went crazy with colors in songs such as “I just can’t wait to be king” and I felt they could have carried that over. Almost like a Mary Poppins injection. But I think that would have been amazing to see a super hyper realistic scene. Not only that but in the original there was so many theatrical elements that brought interest and drama! Where was that in the new film? When Mufasa does simba’s expression was so blank they could have strayed away from being realistic in moment like these to bring emotion and emphasis, other than the music and voice actors doing it alone. I could go on and on. Yes it was impressive but there was a lot of things in my personal opinion they could have done differently

[@TylerRakstis]

Don't you think that the quote you said should apply to any movie nowadays? I hate to go Kanye West ego levels here but I think you should be grateful they did a new one. since we can't just simply re-release the originals in theaters anymore since that's now outdated and sometimes even the classics have even a few holes and cracks that show it might start to age or feel dated over time. But then again, we just don't want the classics to be bashed because we just find it too precious, and think it'll never be broken. Just ask Confused Matthew. Plus I'm already getting tired of hearing the same damn thing over and over again. We get it, animation is great, and can do everything that real life can't. And I do like it too. But do you have to be so pushy about it to the point where you probably realize why animation isn't taken seriously in the general public? Because you have to sound like your lecturing us like we're stupid and clueless on something that people not involved in the film industry could give less of a damn about?

Hah! Sneaky thing. Guess it is technically a live action remake, then. Also - you're right - they did change the lions anatomy a bit. Where my big boy lion balls, bro?

0:32 Millions of hours of animating? Okay see you in 114 years

[@chickbungus4730]

Dude there were many people that worked on them

[@Jeeves]

Karen ! Companies like those have huge render farms so saying 77 million hours doesn’t make much sense if you just have 77,000 computers rendering for 1000 hours

*"millions of hours of animating"* 1000000 hours = 41666 days *oh okay*

[@JetPlayzRB]

we shall respect these hard worked animation movies

[@journeythroughtherails5294]

Such a beautiful and amazing film!! I loved this movie

[@10HW]

the remake is perfect except they forgot one crucial thing: the soul

[@thebeardedrooster2871]

Agree.. Felt like the actors were just reading the script.

[@jamqdlaty]

@@thebeardedrooster2871 Well, would be weird if actors were more emotional if they can't even animate Simba's face differently when he's happy and when his father died.

[@ankitwawage]

Sorry but Animals can't show expressions like humans as its live action so they can't do much about it because it would have looked fake if they did it

[@10HW]

@@ankitwawage did you grow up with the old? because you would know... many epic scenes of the original are not there (the animals dancing, singing and celebrating) This new version has no imagination, fantasy or epicness. The whole Disney team just did a ctrl+c / ctrl+v, obliterating what was real and beautiful in the process. They remade the movie for the money and the technology, not the story - the adventure - the love. You can feel it in every frame: the selfish vacuity of beauty without depth, the image just for the sake of the image, without any meaning. A magnificent painting with no soul, no true intention, no purpose, no integrity. We don't make real movies anymore, because art is at the complete mercy of money, fame and imitation.

[@ankitwawage]

@@10HW Yeah I understand that but you can't have just what you desire. There's lot difference in fantasy and live action. If you start doing fantasy scenes like animated movies it won't work as it will make movie just for fun purposes like we used to watch cartoons in childhood. For live actions there should be some seriousness about movie story, which is not applicable for animations as they are mainly for fun and light while movies (live action) have slightly or highly serious tone. Yeah I agree there should have been some scenes from original but that was animation while this is live action and I'm pretty much happy with what they did and I accept the changes but yeah some scenes could have been added.

[@tobyawaw8535]

I'm a 90's kid this re-make made me happy, amazing cgi effects,

[@Montuawake]

What a beautiful and useful channel is it, am following.

[@Idan-Koren-Israeli]

Amazing video!

[@Chadthefatherbear]

They did a really good job at making a movie that wasn’t as good as the original.

[@SquidCena]

I don't get why do people dislike the live action remakes? It's really cool that they have things like this..

[@cookiesncream789]

Squid Cena I agree. I love all the Disney remakes!!! They were all amazing!

[@RobbertScholten]

This isn’t a live action remake

[@akosiangelo2340]

Imagine the guy with pikachu talking with the wind behind the scenes😂

[@alexanderbendall]

Well done you guys your videos are always amazing

[@alexanderbendall]

Sub 2 pewdiepie

[@alexanderbendall]

Un sub 2 t series

[@50pence74]

I’ll save you some time and tell you how it was animated right now They put all the budget into detailing the smallest things and then realised they didn’t have enough money to animate the facial expressions

[@adic8993]

You know what sucks tho? The harder these people work, the less we’ll notice it. Hats off to you guys

[@Edwenthewolfxx]

I luv this film and the hard work they put in the film

[@aamnahh7821]

That stampede scene gives goosebumps 😨

[@omrizubary]

The most amazing movie I've seen up until now

[@menkisser]

I loved the old one a lot but the new one is better it’s really cool and i enjoy it

[@seankellepesquisa0524]

Just mind blowing!

[@travisphelps8936]

Cool dude. I already knew this now appreciate it, I dare you to make a movie as good as this

[@mrleel]

Although a lot of people hated on lion king, even if a live action wasn't necessary, we should still acknowledge the realism of the CGI, because almost EVERYTHING in that movie was animated
