but why? trailer has no jokes, no big action scene, no songs, not even a hakuna matata? just a lot of bland photorealism and muted colors {nm}

New Trailer for The Lion King [LIONK] tomcat90 Apr 10, 05:29

Take away the Disney name and all the years of the originals belovedness, and does that even look like a good movie? islndr Apr 10, 06:05

Even Aladdin with the blue Fresh Prince looks better than this. Scar seems weird and sounds terrible without Jeremy Irons' voice. FabioParme Apr 10, 06:14

All I know is that I have 4 teenagers and they all said 'Wow, can't wait to see it!" and they were not impressed with the Aladdin trailer {nm} tomcat90 Apr 10, 06:32

Everyone knows the story. The CG looks vivid and real and I'm sure the Final Trailer before release will show more. This one under 2 mins {nm} tomcat90 Apr 10, 06:49

This new Lion King trailer is unimpressive to say the least. It looks like a National Geographic documentary. {nm} FabioParme Apr 10, 07:29

Disney would take that as a compliment. {nm} Antibody Apr 10, 08:00

Yeah. The trailer was as exciting as those Disneynature films! FabioParme Apr 10, 10:18

Echoing tomcat - the trailer doesn't need those things, it needs to show that the movie will hit the right emotional notes and RogerMore Apr 10, 07:29

(tbf just rewatching it, i just noticed i missed the singing after the credits. ) {nm} islndr Apr 10, 07:49

Wow, quite the critics! It looks pretty amazing to me. And I agree with tomcat90 below. My 16 year old is very excited! {nm} Wilderness_Journey Apr 10, 06:36

My two boys also wanna see it, but they are 6 and 4, so what do they know!? :) {nm} FabioParme Apr 10, 07:26

Well I'll tell you what they probably don't know: Jeremy Irons as Scar...lol {nm} Wilderness_Journey Apr 10, 07:34

We live in Brazil so I'm 100% sure the movie will be dubbed when it's released here, so for them it won't matter at all!!!! :) {nm} FabioParme Apr 10, 10:23

Perfect opportunity for Jeremy Irons! Wait, does Jeremy Irons speak Portuguese? {nm} Wilderness_Journey Apr 10, 12:47

Hasn't been on my radar as a must see but I did get goose bumps watching the trailer. {nm} Catzan Apr 10, 08:10

Skews younger. Could have trouble finding the right marketing push. {nm} VictorY Apr 10, 09:01

First Lion King trailer is most viewed trailer without Avengers in the title, of all time. I don't think marketing push will be an issue. {nm} HurricaneKid Apr 10, 09:27

C'mon! This is a no-brainer. It will make a lot of money. FabioParme Apr 10, 10:26

to paraphrase the sage, Mary Poppins: the CGI looks awesome, but the cover isn't the book =P tealfan Apr 10, 09:39

Great point. {nm} VictorY Apr 10, 12:38

Second I heard the music I was hooked, pity it was at the end of the trailer. {nm} tatoufan Apr 10, 12:48
