Talk:The Lion King (live-action film)/@comment-419569-20160930222934/@comment-15306376-20160930224713

You see, the reason why The Lion King was 2D animated in the first place was not because it was a stylistic choice or that it best fit their vision of the film, but because they didn't have the technology to make it look photo-realistic.

In all seriousness, I see no point in remaking Lion King in CG since the original's already one of the most beloved animated movies ever, even without modern CG bells and whistles. In fact, it works more to its advantage since animals singing Elton John songs would just look stupid in that kind photo-realistic style, yet it somehow looks more believable when it's a more stylized drawing. Not every drawing wishes it were a photograph. Just stop, Disney. Just stop.
