C-notesays...*quality
siftbotsays...Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by C-note.
BSRsays...John Oliver is in the movie!
Paybacksays...So... when did photo-realistic CGI animation start being called live action?
antsays...*scifi *kids *nature
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Kids, Nature, Scifi) - requested by ant.
mramsays...I get the casting choices, I really do. But why, exactly, couldn't Rowan Atkinson reprise his role? Nothing against John Oliver, but really...
Edit: I can only surmise that based upon his public comments of "I didn't really want to do voice work" has overridden any enduring desire to revisit something that he ended up liking, even after the fact.
RFlaggsays...Pretty much why I put quotes around Live Action in the description. At least with Dumbo, there are humans with the photo-realistic CGI.

StukaFoxsays...Wasn't the whole charm of The Lion King the fact that it WASN'T ultra-realistic looking?
OverLordsays...Hmm, i'm sure I'll enjoy this. But really, I'd actually be happier if they just kept the original audio, and just replaced the visuals with this new fangled CGI. Nothing wrong with the voice acting/music.

siftbotsays...The Circle of Life is smaller than you might think has been added as a related post - related requested by OverLord.
Fantomassays...Why?
Is every copy of the original set to self destruct on a certain date?
Paybacksays...We do what we can, because we must.
...make more money.

ChaosEnginesays...Yeah, this.
I guess it’s a bit harsh to judge this from just a teaser but....
This looks like a shot for shot remake. Financially? Genius move.
Artistic? Yawn. If you’re gonna redo the Lion King, do something interesting with it; like remove all the dialogue or something. I mean, I get why they don’t do that, but this holds almost no interest for me and it’s only “almost” because I’m curious to see John Oliver in it.

CrushBugsays...Best comment I read was:
"Not sure I am ready to see Mufasa die again, this time in ultra fucking HD."
antsays...http://www.imdb.com/list/ls053181649/videoplayer/vi1154529817 for a comparison with the original cartoon trailer.
