grit1 Here’s my thing I’m guessing people saw this movie because they had nostalgia for the original, and that’s fine but if you have nostalgia for the original and if you have kids that you want to share that nostalgia with why not just watch the original on dvd or if you have Disney plus watch it on there instead of this lifeless, soulless blatant cash grab of a remake
The only reason i watched it, despite my apprehension, was that i was on a week long vacation many miles from home by the beach and wanted something to do. This was literally the only interesting thing playing in the theatre near us, so i bit the bullet and watched this with my mom and grandmother (nice theatre too. Had comfy recliners). At first i thought it was meh, but later on after giving it alot of thought...yeah. This movie was awful and just felt pointless. Didn't help that just a week before the original was on TV in some of my resident's rooms and i almost stopped to watch it with them
"It would be unrealistic for a monkey to carry a stick" Monkeys literally do that all the time! Several primates, including Mandrills, are known to use sticks as tools. If they were really concerned about things being realistic, why is a warthog friends with a lone meerkat? Why did they adopt a lion cub and how did they successfully raise him to adulthood without him killing either of them. It's almost like, oh I don't know, The Lion King was never meant to be a realistic story and should have never been remade as such.
I don't get it either. Did anyone asked for that much realism? Or did they mistake it with everything else such as internal coherence or likelihood? But seeing them pushing celebs unto us like crazy makes me think that it's what they truly care about...
Actually in a movie where Lions sing and talk and all the animals gather for the birth of a Lion cub. It was too much for me to handle Rafiki holding a stick. Ruined the whole movie for me, not realistic enough
I guarantee it's a huge bluff and the stick is removed for some other dumb reason, like it was a mistake or something. That's just how movies are, some of the greatest and most successful movies ever made were total disasters behind the camera, so it's usually a good idea for everyone to commit no matter what happens and keep their poker face strong.
"We didn't think that Rafiki having a stick would be realistic unless it were a fight scene." "Rafiki putting the fruit juice on baby Simba wasn't realistic so we changed it to a root instead." "Singing and talking animals with dead expressions are completely realistic though."
Animals from all over Africa coming straight into the territory of a lion's pride to celebrate the birth of something that will one day eat their children is also totally realistic.
@@YMSHighlights A beautifully animated scene where Mufasa appears from the clouds and motivates Simba to become king? Nah, not so realistic at all. Let's make it more realistic by just adding more clouds to the sky and you kind of see Mufasa when lightning strikes occasionally. Now, that's more realistic! Jokes aside, the way the remake handled that scene infuriates me more than anything else in this movie.
@@SylentVoidkeeper The movie was based on a book that was the sequel to the original Jumanji book, so not exactly a ripoff. I've never read it, but I doubt it has the incest themes. Definitely a weird choice for a kids' movie though.
@@alfredvickers4054 As someone who read it, I can confirm that it did not have incest of any kind. That should have been obvious, but hey, it was a good idea to put in the movie, so I guess not.
I just realized that these movies are literally geared towards that nit-picky, faux-intellectual fan base, or made by those sorts of people god why. what did we do to deserve this hell?
@@creepyjesus1471 When I watched the remake of Beauty and the Beast that was exactly what I was feeling for most of it... There were SO many moments of "Well that covers that plot hole in the original movie!" (Which often wasn't a plot hole as much as it was just something not mentioned because it wasn't important to the story).
Aslan [From Narnia] had more 'realistic animal facial movements" that New Lion King. Even the Lady and the Tramp remake had better animal facial movements, and that was a B list remake shoved onto Disney+
I've only ever seen realism used by directors as an excuse to make a shit film. It's like every director that defends their creative choices with "realism" is a nihilistic shitbag that wants the same diarhea smothering his life to coat you.
Wait what? They got rid of the stick because they didn’t think it was realistic for a monkey to carry around a stick? That’s so dumb, you can find monkeys carrying sticks in almost any group of monkeys! Monkeys use sticks and rocks as simple tools all the time. And also why does the realism matter when all the animals can talk to each other and aren’t acting as they normally would in the wild? Such a dumb reason to get rid of the stick, it’s suppose to contribute to his character by being like a walking cane for a wise, old mentor.
The original Lion King was a respectably budgeted title that shined even as Pocahontas fell through. The remake spends all its time fellating words like 'legacy' and 'Beyonce'.
@@APinchofBazel At 28 mil vs 55, at that scale it was the 'cheap' production.

Y'all are just looking for any reason to complain. In the original movie, Pumbaa sings like shit too. At least he does in the Spanish version. I've never watched the English version. But still, he's fucking SUPPOSED TO sound like garbage.
Navruk "in the Spanish version"? Are you fucking serious? That's your defense for Seth Rogan's terrible singing? And "SUPPOSED TO sound like garbage"? Come on. This is just ridiculous. Everything you've said here is completely ridiculous.
CommentCop Badge#666 All I'm saying is that the version that I watched as a kid (the Spanish animated version) has a Pumbaa that sings horribly. I've always assumed that the English animated version has the same thing. In the live action version, Pumbaa's singing clearly scares Simba, so it makes sense that he sounds bad.
Actually really like these video showing the process to a proper YMS. I enjoy the genuine reactions. Also hoping you will talk about the musical if you have seen it some time.
The musical is stunning despite "breaking immersion" with human characters with fursuit accessories. It works so well and captures the vibrant colours and heart of the original film. I've no idea why Disney are catering to people who value something by how "realistic" it looks on the surface.
As a huge musical theater nerd, I can say that it is a little bit overhyped, but it still is a fantastic stage adaptation of the original animated film. It retains the heart and soul of the original film, and even the newer additions and songs are generally really great for the most part.
When I watched the Lion King growing up, the song with the pouncing scene was always so off to me. And I’m glad to find out 18 years later that that was added in after the fact, cause I hated that part

The "realism" in this movie is just a bunch of cherry-picked nonsense and uneducated half-truths because "it will make money either way". And the saddest part is, it DID.
The director's stuff about "REALISM" reminds me of that movie Adam made fun of with the chair lift. Frozen or whatever. The director had a similar nonsensical view about "REALISM" like... There's realism that tells a good story, and then there's realism that's only there so internet nerds "apparently" won't go UHHHM, _ACTUALLY..._ and the latter realism is what they pick?? Okay.
The one frame of scar that you didn't find attractive is called a smear frame. It adds a bit of a jump and is used to emphasize a movement. Sometimes they are more subtle. Other times they are like the Aladin smears you see online. It's a way to emulate motion blur.
Animation is made to be seen in motion, not as still frames, so sometimes you get individual still frames that don't look good alone, but in motion enhance the motion of the scene.
Dude, I always get fuckin' destroyed whenever someone asks me if I think Beyonce is "beautiful" or whatever and my response is "Mehh". Its fuckin' insane my dude, as if i'm cursing at god in front of hardcore religious people.
I could just watch hours if you doing this haha. Can I say though, as one of the many artists who worked on the movie please acknowledge the VFX work more than talking about the virtual production. It was a huge amount of people working hard and innovating new things!
For me, the worst part of this movie is seeing James Earl Jones clearly not giving a shit. Like, I've seen him in a lot of movies - including this really shitty cash-in trying to capitalize on Disney's first VHS release called "Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night" - and I have never seen him not try. But he clearly was not trying in this movie. Not that I blame him, because he put everything he had into that performance initially and why would you want to try and redo a performance where you already did your best? But really, the one question I'd like to ask Mr. Jones is why he did it. I mean, did you need the money that bad? Because if you do, you could have started a patreon. I'm sure there are thousands of people who would gladly pay a small monthly sum of money if it means that they never have to see you debase yourself like this.
The Lion King (original) is my favorite movie of all time. Even though the remake came out awhile ago I still haven't seen it even though I've been told by a lot of people that its "actually really good." But from what I've seen of it, it looks like absolute garage and I think I would find it insulting seeing something I love so much be turned into something like this.
I just watched “Be Prepared” 2019 edition, and... Why was everything BLUE? Why not have the number at sun set, that could be cool. Why have Scar jumping around rocks. Why is “...be prepared be prepared be prepared...” a section is Disney song. I guess they need to make the scene were a lion tells a bunch of hyenas about his plan to kill his brother by song REALISTIC.
All those questions have only one answer: It was very last second. I remember reading how they were originally going to cut the song out, but then eventually changed their mind not long after. And hearing Scar speak-singing the song really shows. When I first heard it, I didn't know it was the song until about halfway through it. Be Prepared is one of Disney's best villains songs ever, and it was butchered in the remake.
YMS singlechannely got me out of depression in my 30s and i don't know why i chose a video about celebrity lions to say it. But it is what it is and i f-ing love you dude.
Jon Favreau: "Actually, the goo that Simba got smeared on his forehead would've been white..." Adum: (: Jon Favreau: "...So we changed it to a red powder" Adum: ):
10:13 tbh the way pop culture acts towards actors/singers/idols etc. really creeps me out. I really just don't understand. People go into a zombie-like drooling frenzy and literally *worship* these idols for no particular reason. It honestly makes me uncomfortable when I'm around people that do this and I really can't wrap my head around idol worship. It's so foreign to me.
FYI the “bad” question about food and film relates to Favreaus tv show he hosted for several years “Dinner for 5”. It was an interview show over food with actors, directors and celebrities. It actually is relevant to the Directors career and ethos.
The picture of Simba in the background is from the scene in "Lion King 1 1/2" where Simba, Timon, and Pumba relax on hammocks in a montage with the song "Sun Rise, Sun Set"
That looked nothing like 1 1/2. It looked more like a drawing you would see on old kids websites from the 90s. Space Jam had one similar involving the Monstars.
Can you imagine how this movie might've turned out had he focused less on realism and more on incorporating African culture further into the story of the Lion King? Obviously it's Hamlet in the savanna but we have an almost entirely black cast of incredibly talented actors and instead they're being used to peddle boring, bland, rehashed "realism" And get Beyonce out of there. I was excited at the thought of her and Donald having a duet but it's a terrible cover and if she's just gonna be used to sell the movie then find someone else
"It would be unrealistic for a monkey to use a stick... but we're gonna make him use a stick in the fight scene." I... I got nothing, if they don't know basic primate facts then I got nothin to say
@@satireknight yeah definitely. Also when I think of Beyoncé I always think of those lunatics on Buzzfeed constantly going on about how she's basically Jesus. There is just something about being a fan of Beyoncé that always seems to make them annoying feminists or crazy people who think she's a God.
In any case I do still like that Mark Hamill was so open about his feelings, precisely because it’s so rare to actually get to see actors be so candid.
Morning Report. I had the DVD. Brought it to school for a movie day. Made my entire fourth-grade class confused. It was also scratched. I lost a few social points with my class that day.
I remember the first time I saw a copy of the animated movie with the “morning report” song. No one warned me, and I had no idea it was ever even a thing. I, as an adult, threw a fucking FIT! I was soooo pissed, but to the point where friends were telling me to calm down.😂
I've been watching a lot of you while working on project. The Kimba theme song is forever burned in my head. I canceled Disney+ and I can't stop watching you talk about the Lion King.
See, this is why I appreciate an interviewer like Simon Mayo for the BBC Radio 5 Live film show in the UK. He doesn't like to interview people unless he's seen the film first; for example, Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford were due to be interviewed for Blade Runner 2049, but Simon Mayo was only allowed to see 35 minutes of it, so he didn't interview them.

Not saying it’s a bad thing but it seems forced and ignorant considering the lack of ongoing change the industry prides itself on.
The "realism" in this movie is just a bunch of cherry-picked nonsense and uneducated half-truths because "it will make money either way".
And the saddest part is, it DID.
is Seth Rogen capable of changing the pitch of his voice at all? It sounds like he can only change his volume.
"This look is very Lion King" my whole life and I thought Lion King and Oxygen were two separate things
The director's stuff about "REALISM" reminds me of that movie Adam made fun of with the chair lift. Frozen or whatever. The director had a similar nonsensical view about "REALISM" like... There's realism that tells a good story, and then there's realism that's only there so internet nerds "apparently" won't go UHHHM, _ACTUALLY..._ and the latter realism is what they pick?? Okay.
"Nala in use" oh man... Why Disney
Adam’s look is extremely Lion King
Nala in use...
😺
This look is very Lion King, weak and with very female moves.
Agreed
Lol, what is that from? Ive seen it before but i dont know where
@@zackkarma7760 It’s from Adam’s Kimba YMS video.
@@the_calicrusher thanks
Lol
For a split second I thought that this video was called "Lion King Porno Cringe that I Missed"
DangerDan That’s a video you only find on HeavyR
Adum wouldn't miss that
Well, "Nala in Use".
The one frame of scar that you didn't find attractive is called a smear frame. It adds a bit of a jump and is used to emphasize a movement. Sometimes they are more subtle. Other times they are like the Aladin smears you see online. It's a way to emulate motion blur.
Animation is made to be seen in motion, not as still frames, so sometimes you get individual still frames that don't look good alone, but in motion enhance the motion of the scene.
@@cheezemonkeyeater And mimic how the human eye sees, instead of getting that unsettling digital camera effect.

If Beyonce ever attend any Lion King interviews I hope she's paired with Eric Andre
“Omg celebwity oder celebwity told me to like is in moobie, I must watch moobie”

I need a transparent PNG of Jon Favreau after he hits that drum.
Dude, I always get fuckin' destroyed whenever someone asks me if I think Beyonce is "beautiful" or whatever and my response is "Mehh".
Its fuckin' insane my dude, as if i'm cursing at god in front of hardcore religious people.
I could just watch hours if you doing this haha. Can I say though, as one of the many artists who worked on the movie please acknowledge the VFX work more than talking about the virtual production. It was a huge amount of people working hard and innovating new things!
VFX guys are so underappreciated in todays' big blockbusters, much respect
They should've gotten Beyonce to do Seth Rogan's musical numbers.
For me, the worst part of this movie is seeing James Earl Jones clearly not giving a shit. Like, I've seen him in a lot of movies - including this really shitty cash-in trying to capitalize on Disney's first VHS release called "Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night" - and I have never seen him not try. But he clearly was not trying in this movie. Not that I blame him, because he put everything he had into that performance initially and why would you want to try and redo a performance where you already did your best?
But really, the one question I'd like to ask Mr. Jones is why he did it. I mean, did you need the money that bad? Because if you do, you could have started a patreon. I'm sure there are thousands of people who would gladly pay a small monthly sum of money if it means that they never have to see you debase yourself like this.
"NALA, IN USE" made me holler so fucking loud. Thank god I'm at work alone.
"Adam how was having the pleasure of watching footages of Beyonce, please share with us your experience"
I haven't seen Zathura in about 12 years and I really want to now. I loved that movie so much as a child and I'm just praying that it will hold up!
The Lion King (original) is my favorite movie of all time. Even though the remake came out awhile ago I still haven't seen it even though I've been told by a lot of people that its "actually really good." But from what I've seen of it, it looks like absolute garage and I think I would find it insulting seeing something I love so much be turned into something like this.
How does a movie look like "absolute garage"? Have you ever been inside one? This movie looks nothing like one.
"Innovative, exciting and legacy."
I can already see it in the review.
You can see the sanity slipping away.
The "Nala in use" sign is the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
I just watched “Be Prepared” 2019 edition, and...
Why was everything BLUE? Why not have the number at sun set, that could be cool.
Why have Scar jumping around rocks.
Why is “...be prepared be prepared be prepared...” a section is Disney song.
I guess they need to make the scene were a lion tells a bunch of hyenas about his plan to kill his brother by song REALISTIC.
All those questions have only one answer: It was very last second. I remember reading how they were originally going to cut the song out, but then eventually changed their mind not long after. And hearing Scar speak-singing the song really shows. When I first heard it, I didn't know it was the song until about halfway through it. Be Prepared is one of Disney's best villains songs ever, and it was butchered in the remake.
That explains allot. Thank you Michael Strong.
Hey Adam, how was it like working with Baeyonce?
YMS singlechannely got me out of depression in my 30s and i don't know why i chose a video about celebrity lions to say it. But it is what it is and i f-ing love you dude.
With all of these interviews, I'm almost convinced there's some sort of Beyoncé cult.
Jon Favreau: "Actually, the goo that Simba got smeared on his forehead would've been white..."
Adum: (:
Jon Favreau: "...So we changed it to a red powder"
Adum: ):
10:13 tbh the way pop culture acts towards actors/singers/idols etc. really creeps me out. I really just don't understand. People go into a zombie-like drooling frenzy and literally *worship* these idols for no particular reason. It honestly makes me uncomfortable when I'm around people that do this and I really can't wrap my head around idol worship. It's so foreign to me.
FYI the “bad” question about food and film relates to Favreaus tv show he hosted for several years “Dinner for 5”. It was an interview show over food with actors, directors and celebrities. It actually is relevant to the Directors career and ethos.
The picture of Simba in the background is from the scene in "Lion King 1 1/2" where Simba, Timon, and Pumba relax on hammocks in a montage with the song "Sun Rise, Sun Set"
No way. That interview with Matthew Broderick is from 1994. 1 1/2 came out in 2004.
That looked nothing like 1 1/2. It looked more like a drawing you would see on old kids websites from the 90s. Space Jam had one similar involving the Monstars.
You had me at "Lizard person Beyonce" I'm tired of her and her minions
Can you imagine how this movie might've turned out had he focused less on realism and more on incorporating African culture further into the story of the Lion King? Obviously it's Hamlet in the savanna but we have an almost entirely black cast of incredibly talented actors and instead they're being used to peddle boring, bland, rehashed "realism"
And get Beyonce out of there. I was excited at the thought of her and Donald having a duet but it's a terrible cover and if she's just gonna be used to sell the movie then find someone else
The conductor is trying to fly away from this train wreck of a movie.
Thanks for all the likes! Never had so much.
That or he's trying to be an inflatable arm flailing tube man.
Fly, you fool!
It's new fortfart dance
11:13 That's not a forehead, that's a fivehead
100% head
"It would be unrealistic for a monkey to use a stick... but we're gonna make him use a stick in the fight scene."

I’d like to imagine Jon Fav had to do that drum hit five times cause he would miss the beat or hit it too hard and peak the mic

People who are die hard Beyoncé fans, always seem like really annoying people to me.
@@satireknight yeah definitely. Also when I think of Beyoncé I always think of those lunatics on Buzzfeed constantly going on about how she's basically Jesus. There is just something about being a fan of Beyoncé that always seems to make them annoying feminists or crazy people who think she's a God.
They are
She's the black equivalent of a K-Pop artist.
@@No_Sleepee that's a terrible equivalent but yeah I kinda get your point
Morning Report was originally in the musical and was added in the 2003 special edition. It’s not the musical now because of how terrible it is
It's not in the musical? Last time I saw it still was. When was it removed?
@@nerdoftheatre It was taken out of the Broadway production in 2010. I saw the West End production in 2012 but I can’t remember if it was in it.
In any case I do still like that Mark Hamill was so open about his feelings, precisely because it’s so rare to actually get to see actors be so candid.
*NALA* _IN USE_
15:26 Adam’s face reminds me when I saw the lion king 2019 for the one and only time
Is this the Cult of Beyoncé or something? I'm actually kinda creeped out by how obsessed they are about her

Morning Report. I had the DVD. Brought it to school for a movie day. Made my entire fourth-grade class confused. It was also scratched. I lost a few social points with my class that day.
I absolutely cannot get enough of hearing you HUAA HOODAE HOOT at 10:57 XD
I'm so hyped for the review!!
These 15 minutes are a billion times more entertaining than this movie!
7:47 First the Matrix sequels and now this. Adum is starting to understand Star Wars fans.
You need to promote this channel more man! This is hilarious!
3:55 but Adam that would literally be you if you happened to be familiar with Baobab fruit. You would actually be that person
Get me a juice box Beeeyotch
I remember the first time I saw a copy of the animated movie with the “morning report” song. No one warned me, and I had no idea it was ever even a thing. I, as an adult, threw a fucking FIT! I was soooo pissed, but to the point where friends were telling me to calm down.😂
8:30
THAT WAS ON MY DVD AND I REMEBER IT NOW
"It's more important for the fight scene than it is for the philosophical lessons for the character arc" is a pretty sad summary of many movies
I keep wanting to go "oh my God it's Beyonce!" in the South Park Russell Crowe voice.
Adum I fucking love everything you do. Keep up the hustle man. I’ll never stop watching your content.
adam complaining about people pointing out excessively specific nitpicks and asking "who would do that" broke my irony detector.
I've been watching a lot of you while working on project. The Kimba theme song is forever burned in my head. I canceled Disney+ and I can't stop watching you talk about the Lion King.
See, this is why I appreciate an interviewer like Simon Mayo for the BBC Radio 5 Live film show in the UK. He doesn't like to interview people unless he's seen the film first; for example, Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford were due to be interviewed for Blade Runner 2049, but Simon Mayo was only allowed to see 35 minutes of it, so he didn't interview them.
"Look hhaaaarda!"
Ooooh
"Look closer"
Eh!
You can be a really good editor for adum.
