“Well the tiniest little dot caught my eye/And it turned out to be a scab/And I had this funny feeling/Like I just knew it's something bad”
The Lion King, again.
First off. It's not "live action". There's no live animals. It's photo realistic computer animation. Or something similar.
Second. Are they going to give CG Nala whiskers? She doesn't have whiskers in the original because ... Basically she "looked wierd" with them? More sexy with no whiskers? Because sexy lionesses were totally important to godsdamned eight-year olds? I mean?
The males had whiskers. They female didn't.
Thirdly. What about Rafiki? Are they actually going to identify him as a Mandrill this time around? Because 95% of the memorabilia I had called him a Baboon. Disney Adventures was all "this is Rafiki!"
"He's a baboon!!"
And I'd be like. Now. Sure. I was in middle school. I wasn't a zoologist. But when they show you a picture of a primate with a blue face, and then tell you it's a primate that does NOT have a blue face, meanwhile there's THIS guy:
Red nose? Blue cheeks? Tufty beard? That's a Mandrill.
I guess if you want to argue semantics, Wikipedia states "The mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) is a primate of the Old World monkey (Cercopithecidae) family. It is one of two species assigned to the genus Mandrillus, along with the drill. Both the mandrill and the drill were once classified as baboons in the genus Papio, but they now have their own genus, Mandrillus."
It just always felt like if they'da put a litttttlle more effort into an Encarta search they could have found a picture of the animal the character actually WAS.
I guess my big question now is: The trailer showed a lot of shot for shot beats from the original film, so is it literally going to be a CG Do-Over? Or are they going to try new plot elements? Work in stuff from Lion King 1/2? They kind of milked Hamlet dry the first time around. And if they're just going to do a direct copy paste, why even recast it. The voice files are still all on record. If it's all the same shots but with different voices will it just come across as disjointed?
While I appreciate that Disney is casting much more culturally appropriate this time around, it also jars me that they're doing it on the ONE movie where you don't actually see any of that talent on screen representation. They're trying to get brownie points for a diverse black cast behind a microphone, but then they go and cast ... The Pink Ranger as Jasmine? Wiki says she's got an Indian mother and a British father but just... Why not go full out? Let the little Middle Eastern girls have their own hero! There's so few movies they can reboot that will let them have that chance and I just feel Disney could have gone a little further. Farther? Ugh. Black Panther, Shuri and Okoye did so much good for so many young black girls, I guess 'The Breadwinner' is Middle Eastern but it would be nice to show them something that isn't based on the terrible bullshit wars. Or maybe I'm just being offended on behalf of people who aren't offended. That's also very possible. Like all those people going off on Scarlett Johansson being cast as the Major when the Japanese consensus seemed to be "So? It's Hollywood." Maybe the fact they're making a live action Aladdin at all is 'good enough'.
We can do some really almost life-like cgi these days. Like, so close to real we can’t actually use it because it is Uncanny Valley and makes us want to kill it with ogre. (Was trying to say fire, but that’s funnier, it’s the wrong side of two am, and I have insomnia.) So what I want, is a movie where there’s this one character, just, sketchy. Nothing you can point to, nothing that he/she says, just. Wrong. Off. Not right. Why is the idiot letting themself be alone with them?!
I want that person to be a vampire or similar monster. You can have the actual actor in motion capture gear, but what the audience sees is CGI.

Marvel movies have completely eliminated the concept of practical effects from the movie-watching public’s consciousness

I feel like the cgi is a lot better this season. I didnt look at the bees and think 'those aren't real', and on the odd occasion where they looked a bit digital (often when focusing on a couple bees close up) it didn't detract from the scene in a way that it has in previous seasons. So yeah, we'll done cgi team!
