Man I feel like I'm just over Daniel Craig as Bond. That trailer just had a whole "Yep, here's another one" vibe. Some of the vehicle stunts looked cool at least. Will be nice for them to move on to a new actor and hopefully a new style after this, maybe someone who can inject some fun and levity back in to the role. Craig's dour serious-ness is just beginning to feel stale.

The Jungle Book I think is my favorite.. then probably Beauty and the Beast. Then Aladdin, then a very loooong gap, then Lion King
I found Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast really well done.
Aladdin...well I've been over this. It was awful. It was bad and it should feel bad for being bad.
And if theres a huge gap between that steaming pile of crap and Lion King then I'm seriously not interested. Even on Disney+.
If you were to average out all of the content on Disney+ to determine Dollar/Content/Minute and then average that out over the length of Lion King it would still likely be a rip-off.
I said it when they announced it and I'll say it again, a Lion King without Nathan Lane as Timon is a Lion King not worth having and is a Lion 'Viscount of Croyden' at best.

I think people are also forgetting about Dumbo....why did Disney do all these remakes? They made piles and piles of money. Even Aladdin made over $1 billion. Dumbo was the only real flop of the bunch.
I don't get why they felt the need to redo so many movies all at once. Maybe to strike while the iron was hot and ride the momentum?

Disney+
They wanted to have a lot of "new" content to put on the platform for launch.

I actually really disagree with this.
Aladdin was really well done. Of course it's never going to be as good as Robin Williams as the Genie, but they did a good job of making it different enough to over come that. Plus people were just focusing on the Genie not being Robin Williams so much that they missed that the rest of the cast actually did an amazing job in their roles.
The one from this year that was bad and need to apologize for being bad was The Lion King. It just didn't have any heart or character.

Disagree away.
I actually thought Will Smith did an excellent job as the genie and was pretty much the only redeeming quality of that entire heap.
Actors doing a good job on a bad movie is still a bad movie.
