Look at the incredible, heartbreaking emotion on simba’s face when he’s running from the wildebeests in the lion king remake. Truly an extraordinary achievement thanks to the magic of modern, state-of-the-art CG.

Scar: RUN!!! AND NEVER COME BACK!
Simba:


Scar: :l
Simba: :l
Woah. It’s almost like animals don’t have the same facial capabilities like humans do. Crazy shit you guys. The lions actually look like lions. Insane.
Yeah but its shitty
That’s why doing a “live action” remake was absolutely idiotic. Humans can’t perceive animal facial features like they can other humans. And exaggeration in hyper realism just looks bad.
Yeah it’s almost like real animals’ inability to have the same range of facial expressions humans can read is why hyperrealistic CGI Lion King was a bad idea.
Can’t wait for the “live-action” remake of Finding Nemo so we can watch a bunch of dead-eyed fish for an hour and a half.
Because Realistic CGI is TOTES the sign of a quality movie, guys~!
It being CGI isn’t even an excuse I mean look at the past couple movies that have came out over the years.



And the new Pokemon movie-


Realism isn’t the problem. Disney trying to crank out as many unnecessary remakes as fast as possible for a quick buck is the issue.
Look at Aslan! And that film is almost 15 years old



reblogging for the references of quality cgi animation of animals. i was on the bandwagon of cgi itself being dumb until y’all made this point, and now it’s just that the lion king looks terrible. send post.
