Opinion: For the first, second and final time, the live-action 'Lion King' is not live-action!
"Unbelievable that Disney got a lion to look this pensively into the distance," you might be thinking. Correct! It is indeed unbelievable because it is not the truth! /Lion King.
So I do not understand why we’re still calling this the live-action “Lion King.” Does Disney think we do not notice? Has someone there looked at the world we are living in and said, “Great news: We live in a postmodern hellscape where all words have lost their meaning! Gaslighting abounds and every fact is a Rorschach test! Let’s use this to advertise the new ‘Lion King’ as a live-action film!”
Disney will now commence the onerous process of training those lions, probably using operant conditioning and steak, to re-create the story of “The Lion King.” I cannot wait to see what those lions do with the text. Presumably they have also found some hyenas, at least one warthog and a meerkat — although meerkats by now, after “Meerkat Manor,” are entertainment industry veterans and probably have agents. Soon they will attach a toucan. I doubt, however, that there will be singing.
Instead of actually doing the work of giving us a live-action “Lion King,” Disney is just — lying! IT IS STILL ANIMATED, DISNEY! IT IS JUST BETTER ANIMATION! This is not LIVE, nor is it ACTION! It is not even LIONS!
