VFX too perfect, realistic yes, but missing heart and passion of the original animated Lion King (aka adaptation of Kimba the White Lion). Audiences at cinema were quiet. No emotions. Can be better.

So ironic that the super-real look drains the imagination and magic out of the whole show. Enormous cleverness = no soul. My prediction: CGI will hit the wall trying to get "the human face" to be convincing. There's a crisis in stunt work for movies - the audience can see when CG replaces actors for stunts so filmmakers use live stunts, and so stunt performers are being hurt more often. People just don't want to watch something that looks even just a little bit like a computer game. I used to own a company which produced computer animation and CGI's limits persist. Its one thing to enhance physical effects using CGI as in Mad Max Fury Road. Human performance?! The CG replacements for Peter Cushing and Carrie Fisher in the Star Wars films were borderline failure - very wooden.

Watching this film it did not feel unconvincing. The way I was able to tell that CG was being used was because the animals were doing things that were too dangerous to be allowed on a modern set. You are probably suffering from something my dad warned me about, from his days as a director. "The more you get to know about the technical side of making films, the less you can sit back and enjoy watching one." It took many years out of the industry before he lost his sense of disbelief. Fortunately there are still viewers out there who have not become totally jaded. Mostly the young. But also those of us who know how to chill.

@@miketrebert7788 I was 'cutting to the chase', rather than ignoring. "the super-real look drains the imagination and magic out of the whole show." I did not feel that to be the case. The director was working within the constraints of retelling an existing story, yet managed to do that in an imaginative and innovative way. I kept asking myself 'is that particular thing a realistic way for an animal to behave' only to realise 'these are talking animals, following a king. Maybe they are not the normal animals they appear.' That is kind of magical, to the non-jaded. "My prediction: CGI will hit the wall trying to get "the human face" to be convincing." Piffle. Yes the wall is there, and will remain for some time. But Jon Favreau's prediction of ten years sounds solid to me. All the other difficulties, like human hair, have gradually been overcome. And we are getting past the 'uncanny valley' in enough productions that I have confidence we will perfect the technology fairly soon. It certainly will not reach an insurmountable obstacle. "There's a crisis in stunt work for movies - the audience can see when CG replaces actors for stunts so filmmakers use live stunts, and so stunt performers are being hurt more often. " Perhaps so. But not once perfect avatars are up and running. A point we will disagree on, due to the previous point. Plus this is a point where I think your technical knowledge is skewing your perception. You are in a bubble of people with the same technical knowledge and you can spot the swap. The more jaded audiences are just expecting the swap, rather than actually being able to spot it (except in a poorly made production of course). When Tom Cruise is promoted as 'doing his own stunts', that can pull in audiences. And that will not change. There will still be a niche market for genine live actors and mechanical effects. That can tempt me too. But I rate an interesting story much more than the means used to create it. With these tools the only limits are the imagination. And good directors can make good use of them. The ones who cannot adapt will fail the way you are predicting. I agree with your comments about Star Wars. They were pushing the technology. In ten years they can do a remake where you will not be able to tell the difference. By the way I suggest you check out "Yesterday". They have what is either an extremely well made up actor or a cutting edge CG character. I will put my money on the latter simply because I don't think they could get an actor lookalike as close as that. But that is the only reason. It looked like a real person, to the degree that I could not say otherwise. I am sure, with your background, you will have no difficulty (and probably knew it even before seeing it). Me though, I found it magical.

@@Temp0raryName Thanks for your answer. I stick to my opinion about CG human faces (eyes) lacking soul. I doubt whether a "serious" director like Scorcese or Michael Haneke (or countless others of that standard) would ever use CG actors. I'll see you in 10 years about that subject ( BTW, let's see how well Cameron does on the Avatar sequels - the original is looking pretty fake). An example of CG used perfectly, IMO, was The Revenant - the bear attack. That troll who suggested that Dicaprio was raped by the bear - hilarious. He knew that the filmmakers would not want to admit they had used CGI and they did in fact keep quiet for quite a while! As if DiCaprio would be allowed by the producers/insurance companies to do that scene with a real bear! That sequence looked horrifying/totally convincing. Bears 1, Humans 0.

@@miketrebert7788 Yet others may be tempted to have Marilyn Monroe and James Stewart appear in one of their productions. Provided they have a talented enough actor behind the CGI, and a realistic face in front of it, then directors can get to work with some of the greats who died before their time. As for ethics and legal rights issues, I imagine some actors and actresses, in their twilight years, may decide that the immortality granted by a static body of works is not enough. They may choose to sell or donate the rights to their likeness, perhaps with restrictions on use, in order to let their performances continue long after the movies of our time become too dated.
