I think my problem right now is I'm just not in the mindset to watch a movie like this on account of the climate crisis. The planet's pretty fucked, and to puppet photo-realistic wild animals around on screen in a photo-realistic environment is going to constantly remind me of that fact.
...but that's just me being a downer, I fully recognize this movie wasn't made for my audience.
Well, his mouth opens, it just opens like a cat's mouth would; he moves like a cat and not a human... while this is great realism, real cats cant talk or dance so it loses any feeling of emotion.
Like, they tried to make Simba so realistic looking that his mouth does not even open.

This is what I'm taking away from these reviews. They all seem to take exception with the fact that the animals move, behave, and act like real life animals rather than their cartoony...

I'm not saying they're wrong for having a problem with that. I just don't understand what exactly they expected.
It just doesn't match the tone of the movie. It's more or less what I expected, which is why I have no interest in the film, but I wonder what Disney was trying to do? What is the purpose of...

Money, more than likely. It's a remake of a beloved classic done in the same stylistic vein as The Jungle Book, which did well in its own right. They don't expect to make their money on the people...

They don't expect to make their money on the people who mind the animation, I'd wager they expect to make their money on families sharing an inter-generational experience.
It was meant more as a rhetorical since the answer of "why did they make this blockbuster movie?" is pretty much always "because money." The idiocy of some of these major studios makes me wonder...

The idiocy of some of these major studios makes me wonder sometimes. I can almost guarantee you that this will lose money. The "realistic" remakes with primarily human or humanoid characters will probably do a lot better.
They drew the line between fantasy and realism in a very awkward place. The animals can talk, make complex decisions, and even sing, but for some reason they can't dance?

Hmmm...I guess that makes sense. It smacks of "complaining because it's not the original" though, to me anyway.

Wait, "In The Air Tonight" like the song by Phil Collins?
