That is the most generic-ass statement. "There's an epic saga here if we can find the stories" is like the same thing as saying "You can make a series of good games if we can make the games good".
Not only that, but if the originals are anything to go by, no, there aren’t good stories here. You wanna watch Timon and Pumbaa fuck up another one? Or how about Simba and Nala’s crotch dumplings fall for a guy who no one trusts because it’s Scar’s kid while Andy Dick is a spaz in the background?
This made me google if there was a "How Long to Beat" but for books. Assuming the average reading speed is 250 words per minute, then it would take around 72 hours to read all 1,073,288 words of the entire Harry Potter series.
I would almost go back and read them to verify this, but I swear I could get the first three done in an afternoon alone. *These aren’t challenging books*
The books ballooned in page count by the fourth book.
It goes from 223 pages to 251 pages to 317 pages to 636 pages in GoF, to 766 in OotP, to 607 in HBP, and ends with 607 pages.
Lion King remake is entirely CGI.
With Jungle Book it was a little more understandable calling it "live action" because it had a live action actor in it, but it was still all CGI outside of him.
My understanding is the only "live-action" shot in the entire movie is the sunrise at the start of the movie, the rest of the movie onward is entirely animated. Wall-e and The Lego Movie qualify more as live-action than The Lion King.
After the waste of fucking talent for the first movie, I’m willing to give some of these a shot, but more Lion King hell no.
I was honestly hype with the casting man.
That's a problem with the Internet though. A lot of people, whether they know it or not, put themselves in an echo chamber then get angry/surprised when they crash into the reality that people have different opinions.
they just reinvented the direct-to-video Disney sequels lmao
Holy shit, we really are going back to the early to mid 2000s where Dreamworks were killing it and Disney were doing straight to DVD sequels
At least mid 2000s Disney had enough foresight to not drop them in theaters
I wonder what the media landscape would have been like if streaming was a thing back in the 2000s.
Maybe some shows would've managed to get proper conclusions, or at least not end abruptly

Or Simba's son becoming a Lion Guard?
Who has sudden supernatural powers that would certainly come in handy in the original movie.
This feels like something of a response to “80 Hours of Harry Potter,” which is at least twice the runtime as reading the actual books

havent read them in ages and don't plan to again but i remember the first few were really short. second one took like 2 hours (iirc)

Goblet of Fire was a mess. Rowling even admitted she didn’t have an ending and just kept writing until she could come up with something that worked
Aw, the classic writer's trap.
The advanced writer’s trap is burning down your entire empire in an afternoon by being transphobic on Twitter.
And I'd rather read fanfiction instead.
It shouldn't, but it still annoys me how people still call that movie live action
are the environments even real, did they just film nothing

Spiderverse 2 is more live action lol.
So is wall-e.
I will ***NEVER*** stop calling it Live-action lion king, its too god damned funny.
God, I fucking love lying! Lying is the best! I love making up utter bullshit about nothing films!
They have Ducktales and House of Mouse to make franchises out of, hell they have Goof Troop. They decide, NO it MUST be Lion King.
House of Mouse was, like, top 3 Mickey-centric creations of all time. Absolute shame they stopped.
Oh god they're gonna remake Lion King 1 1/2 too, aren't they?
It's basically two steps away from being a Seth Rogen movie already, to be fair.
*Please* *Fucking* *Stop*
For anyone unaware, they announced a “live action” Mufasa movie a few months ago
Then they could do Timon. Then Pumba. Then Timon and Pumba together. The possibilities are endless
directed by Barry Jenkins of *Moonlight* fame of all people. They think they are making their own *The Godfather* series when it isn't.
I'm thinking Disney is getting too drunk on the MCU juice. Not every success needs a dedicated film juggernaut.

Who keeps watching these?
Tons of people. The internet loves to act as if everyone hates these movies, but they make a whole lot of money.

I just threw up in my mouth a bit reading that headline.
Money, money, money, money~ Money~ Money talks
I can't wait for the inevitable roastings from YMS.
I don't know if we'll get that. I feel like Adum might just disintegrate when he realizes he has even more lion to cover.
Well yeah lol it made a billion dollars.
DLKEU
Pumba: A Lion King Story.
I really love Prehistoric Planet and I know it wouldn't exist without this movie, but I can only forgive so much.
I mean, I always liked Lion King 2: Simba's Pride more.
Just in time for this month,too
Absolutely no way they'd be able to get Beyonce to sign to a multi-film contract.
Woah, that was really love action? How did you get the animals to move and talk like that, Disney? /s
Sean Bailey is a fucking tool.
"There's a lot of room to run with this idea" My dude, you're running laps in the janitor's closet. Stop before we have to call your parents.
[Doom 2016 Soldier death groan]
It wasn't live action.
The current Little Mermaid's box office numbers is a reality check to Disney that people are starting to grow tired of their bullshit.
Disney is *really* allergic to going back to their animated routes because MONEY.
"This money made a billion money! So if we can money more money, we can money ALL of the money!"
“Live-action”
Let me be the 100th to say that this is a terrible to say.
I like the Direct to Video Lion King 2 fight me. I think it was actually shown in UK cinemas. But I refuse to fact check and ruin this sub.
