Tbh the 2019 movie could've at least used animal emotes, like when Nala and Simba were scared, have their ears told back or tail tucked
fold back? you have auto correct for a reason. probably why you're one of her subs.
@awildpokemonuwu
It's a typo, but u got what i meant. Also, sometimes the dumb thing would change my words. I don't know what being a sub gotta do with anything. It's honestly not that serious
GREAT 👌 AITEORI EXCELLENT POINT 👉
@@awildpokemonuwu You didn't capitalize the beginning of your sentences.
@BrandonScott-mi5pz I'm not alteori but thnx anyways??
They should have watched The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe to study how to show "photorealistic" feral-style animal characters' emotions before they made the Lion King remake!
When I first saw the trailer of the remake the first thought of mine was, that Aslan and the other animals showed more expression than them in that movie which is just 14 year apart.
They could have also you know.. used the Jungle Book too.. like that was expressive as well. I don't understand why it was just so bad on that remake. I hope this Mufasa movie is actually at least fun to see visually.
@@BabyChan33So Favreau had the misconception that animals actually aren‘t expressive in rl.
@@StoryLover-7 Aslan's not even that recent.
@@jadjason6053 So.... are we sure he's Human?
Dont be fooled. They already ruined it by saying "not a drop of nobility in his blood" what? Mufasa was supposed to be descended from KINGS he was not the FIRST King. They are going back on everything they originally established in The Lion King. Whats next? Scar is the good guy? No, screw this movie and Disney. Also WTF is an Arctic lion? There is NO SUCH THING. Scar and Mufasa are brothers, they have the same mother and father, that was already established.
I know, that basically completely undermines/ruins the speech Mufasa made to Simba under the stars. This movie is going to be a garbage fire.
Yeah.... watch them ignore that
i watched the trailer and was genuinely excited, until i read the plot and was instantly disappointed... i was hoping itd be a movie about scar and mufasas childhood, but they added kiara (making it a slight sequel) and totally ruined the lore of the lion king.... it totally ruined it for me...
Good chance for some character development though. Mufasa might start out as a rowdy lion cub and turn into a noble king. No promises though.
@@flawlesskids7825That sounds awfully similar to Simba.
1. Mufasa already has somewhat of a backstory so not really original.
and
2. Aslan showed more emotion 20 years ago.
They say this lion has no mobility, and yet all lions are noble. I wonder how they are going to explain the whole retcon of Timon and Pumba.
Yea I have no idea why Disney is retconning themselves.
Oh just wait he’s not royal but Sarabi is the kings daughter and through marriage to her he will be come king. In other words get ready for a complete shit show.
@@johnrouphael2619no it not that in this version Scar fam adopted Mufasa
My bet is that the Timon vs Scar scene will be Timon's version of the fight he's going to tell Kiara. Kinda like The Lion King 1 1/2
It gonna be a different story
Might be a hot take, but I personally think that TLK has one of the best sequels to an original animated Disney film.
I love 1 and a half as well as 2.
I wish they didn't make this stuff and just re-released or polished those old movies and put them out!
Mufasa will be good
@@glamrockfoxy6667 I'm hesitantly optimistic
@@glamrockfoxy6667 It might be good but will fail as it's coming out the same day as Sonic 3
It definitely does. Love TLK 2
6:48 looks like an awful taxidermy job.
🤣🤣
I don’t like the part where they said he don’t have a dropper royalty blood then where the scar come from because that’s his brother and they talked about their father even in the remake where their father was king
The new look of your creature design is amazing.
Personally I think the ears are way too big. She kind of looks more like a bat than a fox.
But there are certain types of foxes (I’m guessing that’s what the creature design is based off of) that have big ears though. These include Fennec Foxes, Cape Foxes, Bat Eared Foxes, Pale Foxes, and Blanford’s Foxes.
Her design makes her character look like a zombie frog. lol.
WHO CARE ABOUT CGI HOT 🔥 GARBAGE.
@@AlphredGlenMean-Meat-nj5ki probably based off the fennec
Reaction whenever Disney releases another movie:
"Aw s*^& here we go again."
All I'll say is, Like most people I don't have high hopes for this upcoming TLK film. But I'm willing to see how it will turn out.
I want to give it a chance
This gonna be way better
Same here
Same here. I can see this film being pretty good if done right.
@@spooktoonzI actually do have hope this could be good. And I really do want it to be a movie that will either be great or underrated.
Even though he’s not even in the trailer just the single line of Mufasa being said to have no nobility makes me kinda feel bad for Scar honestly. Apparently Mufasa is going to be Scar’s (in this movie he’s called Taka, apparently Scar’s just an alias that people started calling him because of his scar) adopted brother so Scar is actually the rightful heir. I just imagine Scar having his I Just Can’t Wait to be King moment then, from Scar’s perspective, this random low born peasant little shit suddenly comes into his life and ends up being daddy’s favourite son and it turns out Mufasa’s the older, bigger, stronger and more charismatic of the two, just a better leader in every pretty much every way so the throne that was rightfully Scar’s ends up being taken away from him by a guy who wasn’t born into royalty so technically Mufasa doesn’t even have any real claim to said throne.
Taka means Waste in Swahili. Which means that Scar has always been hated since his birth
At that point I don't see why they couldn't try and make Shakespear's Othello. Because that sounds like Othello, but keep it to the idea that Othello character is supposed to represent the new guy that is book smart, and Iago that ha the experience.
Disney just needs to go back to drawing their movies. The last good disney movies I remember Hercules, Mulan and the masterpiece Treasure Planet. Let's look when they where made....Holy crap, yes I'm old.
Winnie the Pooh 2011 was their last 2D hand drawn theatrically released movie. It was good but had to compete with Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows (can’t remember if it was part one or two) so it flopped.
And hand drawn costs a while lot more and takes more time.
@@aaronforsythe8556 Not really. If you’re doing it digitally like MLP movie 2017 then it’s actually cheaper. It’s the animation cells that are used in traditional animation that are pricey but there’s other ways to do hand drawn without using cells.
@@aaronforsythe8556It's more than just costing more to hand draw their movies. They'd have to completely reinvest in purchasing all the tools and staff required to do it again. They dismantled and scrapped their entire studio in charge of making their 2D animated theateical releases years ago. And unless they're shown that 2D animated movies could be more profitable than 3D ones, hand drawn Disney theatrical releases are not going to happen again. And I don't see that happening any time soon.
@@aaronforsythe8556 I don't think that's entirely true. It costs about the same or even more to do CGI animation.
This is how you show emotions. Seriously. Just take a week to look at animals and you'll can understand what emotions they show.
yeah some of these animated animals seem like they're drawn by people who have never seen animals move.
Those CGI lion emotions are terrible. The 2019 lions were better.
Prequels are hard. Prequels years after the original is difficult. Far off Prequels involving a beloved mentor or parental figure that has already went through their journey is inadvisable. Modern Disney does not have the capability to even come close to pull this off. Having Mufasa not be royalty is a red flag in itself.
Ah yes... why Scar was right to kill Mufasa the movie.
Young executive says "I've got an idea, we got so much blow back for our heartless/soulless cash grab rebooted Lion King where we introduce our new computer graphics render engine, so when we make the trailer for our new soulless/heartless cash grab Mufasa, let's use the original song Circle of Life from the original Lion King that everyone loves, and put that in the trailer and sucker them in again." Head executive stands up, " Brilliant!"
Nostalgia baiting at its finest! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Well Alteori, I’m afraid they’ve done Mufasa so wrong in terms of backstory. In the original, Mufasa and Taka/Scar were brothers+sons of Ahadi and Uru. In an outing gone wrong, a friend of Mufasa and Taka/Scar had perished from a brawl; resulting in Taka getting the iconic scar, and his original name means garbage in Swahili. When Mufasa was chosen to be the next king over Scar, he was seething in hatred;made worse with the final straw being Simba’s birth, and you get the idea from there. As for modern Disney, I wouldn’t trust the composer who brought the disgraceful song by Scuttle in The Little Mermaid remake.
7:57 oh boy music done by the guy who did "the scuttlebutt"
😨
@@SEAUwU It says a lot when id rather be serenaded by Gilbert Gottfried. Or heck please bring back Phil Collins.
The teaser trailer gave some really big red flags in regards to writing "without a drop of nobility in his blood" retcons Mufasa's talk with Simba in being part of a line of Kings, and another retcon in that same conversation is when the narrator says "a lion who would change our lives forever" indicates that he's the progenitor of the circle of life in pride rock not a part of it's cycle.
I'm probably reading too much into it, but this smells of a typical bad prequel in the same vain as how WISH approached things, but I do agree it is presenting itself a lot better than that horrible remake.
What about the rated r mowgli movie? Those animals in that movie made more expressions
As I recall, that was PG-13
That movie was so good imo and I still rewatch it and enjoy.
Man, I really enjoyed that one.
I can’t watch that movie without crying over what happened to Bhoot.
Funny thing is, Rafiki isn’t a baboon. He’s actually a Mandrill 😮!!!
they really know how to bait.. they know their audience can't let go and keep coming back regardless how many times they get burnt. don't get why they didn't just animate it..
It IS animated though. Did you mean hand drawn/2D?
About as lifeless as the taxidermy my grandfather used to own and just as much as a charcuterie of a skin suit.
We have to save her from this abusive relationship with Disney 😭
Scar is going to be another misunderstood Disney villain
He always was.
It definitely sounds like a soft retcon to call him an orphan and not of nobility, based on the scene Mufasa shared with Simba after the hyena incident. He definitely implies his father had the same conversation that he would be a king in the stars as others before him. The only work around is giving Mufasa a star conversation scene like Simba had as an adult, but that's literally retreading the original if that's what happens to justify it.
This movie would’ve been 10x better if it was 2D animated
It'll be soulless like all the recent Disney stuff.
They've spent years making sure anyone talented and passionate about the work was ousted, why does it surprise anyone every new release from them has the same problems? It's worth asking how important the people who work in a company are, if you for example replace everyone is it really still the same company?
much like the Ship of Thesis
I hope they don't make scar a sympathetic character and give him a sympathetic backstory. Can't characters just be evil for the sake of being evil anymore
It always depends on how you prefer the main villain
@@metakron yeah but they are doing that with all of their villains and giving them backstories! It's not a bad thing but sometimes people just want villains that are evil for the sake of it. Not everything has to have a reason.
There are books that cover a little bit of their past that came out in the 90s and early 2000s, but the canon is debatable, and it goes as far as to tell how Scar (original Real name of Taka) got his scar, but then that was retconned in The Lion Guard show. I'm interested to see how this movie depicts their back story
Huh no taka is real name of scar..
@@pierre-samuelroux9364 that's what I said
@@thealmightypharaoh7106 oo
The Tail of Two Brothers, 90s story prequel you mean?
@@aquillawhingate3248 yeah
I also think that in the snowy mountain maybe who knows maybe this is a flashback of the prehistoric days when lions lived in frozen parts of Eurasia in North America
There are snowy mountains in East Africa
Kilimanjaro is a very tall snowy mountain
its really nice that they atleast listened to the criticisms of the last loin king movie,atleast in its look anway,the story could suck but we can atleast agree its diffrent and not somthing thats ruining the og,i see this movie as them seeing if making the animation diffrent would actually be benificial to a newer work and probly understand now that remaking older works are just not doing good for them,this is a step in a good direction
I want a good story and visuals. That’s how movies work lol
To answer your questions regarding Lions in snow, there was a subspecies of Lion called Barbary Lions (also known as Atlas Lions and Nubian Lions). They were larger in size and had longef fur as they from North Africa, particularly in colder, snowy areas, likw the Atlas Mountains.
They went extinct sometime in the last century, but I'm assuming that the implication here is that Mufasa is a Barbary Lion.
This Movie Comes Out The Same Time As Sonic The Hedgehog 3 I Bet There Are Sonic Fans Excited To See Shadow In This Movie
Yessir can't wait, plus the trailer which should come soon this week or next week 😎👍🔥
In all honesty, sonic the hedgehog 3 would already beat this movie with barely a competition.
Just remember folks, Disney doesn't need to make a good story to make money. They just need to make a "click bait" trailer to get your money.
Idk how to feel about this. Like a hurt animal, I am highly sceptic it could be good. But I think time will tell. I hope it ends up good though.
Ok, I'll admit. It does look better color wise and facial expression wise. They might've actually listened to some of the criticism of the live action movie.
I hope they to explore why scar became such a horrible lion
His mother got kicked off a cliff by Mufasa's ninja-hyena's.
Saying that Mufasa has no royal blood basically KILLS (pun intended) the whole point of the character.
At least the animals are more expressive 🤷
2:54 They must have COMPLETELY forgot about their own kids show Lion guard I guess... The line of kings and lion guards completely forgotten or reconed 😂 Yes I watched it with my family who were OBSESSED with it as kids. (lil babies)But as a full adult? Boy was that show annoying. However I could at least follow the plot and there was a segment showing Scar being the leader of the lion guard and well... Mufasa being portrayed as well kind of a jerk.
Civil war: "THE TRAILER LIED!"
Mufasa: "But this trailer good"
Poor Altereo. She just doesn't learn...
I wasn’t happy with the previous one, but this is looking to be a slight improvement over the 2019 remake.
The last film sucked
I know right, I was disappointed in that one.
I’ve been burned too much by Disney to trust that this is any good.
"Without a drop of nobility in his blood." Aaaand I'm out
I guess im not much of a Glutton... if it is good, ill let others find that out.
Alteori you should review lion guard its terrible honesty. Thats probably not convincing
Is Disney finally listening? Will their stocks make a comeback?
I'm getting some major red flags from this trailer. First, a lot of it feels like bait on a hook, like how the Obi-wan Kenobi trailer used Duel of the Fates to entice Prequel fans, despite the track never playing throughout the show's entire runtime.
Second, there is a major departure of the lore that Mufasa doesn't have a single drop of nobility in his blood. In the original Lion King, Mufasa told Simba that his father told him that every star represents a past king of the Pride Lands, heavily implying beyond reasonable doubt that Mufasa hails from a great liniage of kings. Removing that also destroys Scar as a character, even so far as to delegitimize his ambition and motivations.
Then there's the casting. It was abysmal in the Remake, and they obviously sticking to it.
I think Timone and Poomba are a mistake. They are cameoed in all of them. The circle of life demonstrates lots of animals. Feature and elephant, giraffe or hippo. They are rarely killed by lions so they can actually teach the circle without being threatened, but still fulfill the role upon one's inevitable death. Showing predator or prey, everyone is accepting of the circle, but determined for life.
Simple message, makes sense enough. The starving don't respect the circle thus the Hyenas and scar. Cause the starving can't enjoy life on empty. All motivations clear.
Now watch them fuck it up. Just pray it's better than mine.
why cast afro actors to voice the lions again? Why can’t it be because of talent?
Because THE MESSAGE -critical drinker
Mufasa in Swahili literally means king. So it's interesting that they are trying to make mufasa not of noble blood.
Nope. They're not gonna jangle any colorful keys in front of me to distract from all their mistakes. When it comes out, and you all say it's actually good, maybe... MAYBE, I'll pirate it.
I strongly believe that James Earl Jones made Mufasa the One True Lion King 👑 🦁
Mufasa: The Lion King, I dare say, actually looks promising. Looks like Barry Jenkins learned from Jon Favreau's mistakes.
I've learnt enough from Disney that when they use the music from The Originals it's just nostalgia bait to get you in and watch their bad movies, whatever you do don't eat the member berries.
A Mufasa origin story? Honestly that sounds dope! But not in this live action crap. Whatever happened to classic 2D animated films?
They don't know what there doing
I think I would've given this movie a chance if they had just done this in 2D. Doing this as live action still separates the real lion king from this story, and it just feels so disassociated and lifeless. I don't know why Disney is afraid to do this, but if they had chosen this movie to return to their old ways, then I bet a lot more people would be receptive to it. Also retconning Mufasa's nobility was probably not a good idea, because his nobility was touched on in the Lion King and I think also in the Lion Guard? I know there is a story involving him and Scar, and this one line seems to go against it, which is not what most of us fans wanted. Personally, it just doesn't give me good faith in this movie no matter how much better it looks compared to the lion king remake. Because you're right it's definitely more expressive, but it's still to me like polishing a terd
I'm convinced the emoting animals is a trap. I think they listened to that particular criticism so they could lure people in to see a story about how Simba's dad was a massive bumbling stuck up fool who's the actual one at fault for how the pride lands got in the OG movie and Scar was secretly the hero trying to stop/fix it all along.
That would be fuck-up. Because the priselands prospered under Mufasa in both versions, if I'm not mistaken.
I figured it out. Those lions in the snow are actually Detroit Lions. Well done Disney
Apparently lions in cold climates can grow thick overcoats in winter. It can be seen in zoos with chilly weather.
a Mufasa origin story??? no way
Ah yes, what we all needed. More of the wooden, shallow, hyper-realistic CGI lions.
Lion king is one of my favorite movies. I never saw the remake so this looks so uncanny to me
of all the ‘live action’ remake shizney had released, The Jungle Book is the only one I like.
Jungle book was pretty good
Same. It was the only one where they added stuff from the book too.
No. That movie was terrible. My god that kid actor was so bad.
10:08 That lion is scar! original live action Scar is also white but since he gets older it’s become grey
I’m honestly interested in this too
The 2019 remake is what killed my childhood and any anticipation for a new Disney movie.
I've got hope for this, I genuinely do. I didn't hate the remake because It was just nice to see everything again and the trailer looks good so I'mma give It a go.
4:39 just gave me flashbacks to the OG Lion King game that was so hard it gave me nightmares as a kid haha
I just can't care less about this.. Not since I saw the original when it dropped in 1994 did I ever think "I want to know about mufasas younger days"
anyone else remember the whole S-E-X thing with the original lion king?
How can we forget? Everyone was spreading that myth.
@@KeybladeMasterAndyI thought it was SFX and was a shout out Easter egg to the special effects animators.
@princesspikachu3915 It was, but people wanna see what they wanna see.
The thing most people remember is the look Nala gives Simba in the OG film
And "Hakuna ma Tata's" was born
Hello Alteori.
MUFASA. Mmm, I'm not sure about this movie, I'll stick to the animated movie but the trailers looks interesting. Let's see where it goes.
Anyway, another great video, Alteori, I like it, see you in the next one.
This is the best channel on youtube.
That Lion King Intro is pure 1995 nostalgia ngl holy shit I can't not think of the OG movie when I hear that. Even more so for my wife
the 3d animation isnt expressive...its gonna look creepy
As a South-african I can tell you if you ain't on a high @$$ mountain (where lions have no business at) you will not see snow like that that covers the ground like it's the freaking artic . When it snow's here looks like god spilled a almost empty baby powder container( so like nothing ) it lasted 3 minutes.
I would be interested if it was Animated and not.... I can't even call this live Action cause even the animals was animated...
Cant wait for scar actually getting his scar
As long as Captain Marvel's cat is involved.
@@kaykutcher2103 yuh
We're getting closer to a V-Tuber Alteori
About the snow, I doubt they're living in a snowy environment is probably just the top of a mountain like Kilimanjaro in the animated sequel to the TLK
I'm of mixed feelings about the new chibby. I liked the old one so much it's messing with me.
I've been burned so hard on all the re-makes that I don't know if I can give this one a chance. My jaded stone heart might not allow it.
Can we just have a new season of Prehistoric Planet?!
Wow, this actually looks like a Disney movie. That trailer almost made me forget what year it was. Had me feeling like I was in the 90s again. That was a well-made trailer.
Can we get 5 years of Disney movies that doesn't rely on nostalgia or the need to piggy back on nostalgia.
Alteori we know you, don't start getting those feelings for a lion,vyou know the ones I'm talking about 😂😂
HUH
Kovu?
I for one am hyped for this movie, can't wait to go see it with my bestie
Thank you. Someone is finally talking about the expressions of the characters.😊
Your new "avatar" Kitsune are adorable
Alteori got some fennec features. Also this trailer shows the film's potential.
Man, I wish Sideways was back. I wonder what his thoughts are on this, especially the music.
This looks like a demo for a new graphics engine, absolutely soulless.
But the sheeple are gonna lap it up, because of nostalgia.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who actually LIKED this teaser. Also, I'm looking forward to what sort of story they'll make Mufasa's backstory into.
But yeah, the expressions look like the animators & artists really stepped up their game & actually listened to the people who criticized the expressionless characters of TLK19. If anything, this should be BETTER than TLK19... and I'm genuinely excited for December!
Hope it shows mufasa and scar growing up together.
Growing up my four cornerstones of Disney were Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Lion King, and Song of the South.❤
I can quote the entirety of that last one. Got it on laserdisc. 😁
The description im the about tab, describes not only wby Timon and Pumba are kinda there but also hints there might be a third movie as well
this might be the return of good disney
They chose this over a remake for The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. Whatever 🤷♂️🤦
I would rather not see that story get ruined tbh, I’m honestly glad that they chose to do a prequel instead.
That’s just my humble opinion though.
0:18 I haven't watched your videos in a long time, this image of you caught me off guard😂
I can’t be the only one who was reminded of James lee’s work such a classic
Love your takes lass, your movie tastes align quite well with mine and you make really entertaining vids. Glad to have you sifting out the shitshows for me
