lion king 2's arguably like the best "direct to video" disney movie; like it's commonly considered even better than the first one (my own opinion, tho mostly just because i personally like the music a LOT)

lion king 2019 is, arguably...a movie. maybe.

2019 because no matter how it's animated it is so clearly a better movie than 2

Lion King 2 is underrated and overhated

It isn't as good as the original, of course, but it's still very valid imo

lion king 2019 is probably the worst thing released theatrically by the walt disney company since chicken little

do your childhood a favor and never see it

Literally never seen this opinion

(Return of Jafar is the best straight to video Disney movie)

Lion King 2 is easily the best of the disney direct to video sequels.

Return of Jafar is barely in the top 5 and isn't even the best sequel starring aladdin

Yeah this is bizarre to me

Like it's a slightly worse version of the original but looks pretty good in its own way and some of the stuff in it is pretty good

It's more than just a slightly worse version. The animals don't emote in any meaningful way and it completely lacks the visual vibrancy that made the original so noteworthy. The original also has phenomenal pacing, while the remake adds half an hour to the running time by...largely slowing things down. Sure, it follows the same narrative, but a movie is far more than simply reading off a script. Every single change they made is for the negative.

Lion king = instant click for me! Unfortunately, this didn't have to do with the original movie....

My main issue with the remake is the meh voice acting... but the original Lion King set a VERY high bar there, so maybe I'm being too harsh? But I had no idea Lion King 2 was not utter garbage. Maybe I should watch it, after all.

Interesting. The first one has one of my very favorite movie soundtracks, and I didn't think the second one could possibly match it in that area.

The best direct-to-video sequel is actually Aladdin and the King of Thieves. Return of Jafar is pretty garbage, Lion King 2 is quite good though but it feels off in certain ways.

The Lion King 2019 isn't a bad movie; there is just zero reason to watch it when you can watch the original, which is better in every way.

I gotta admit, though, Mufassa's smile at that moment is THE cheesiest expression in the whole original movie!

this topic inspired me to re-read my lion king 2019 review that I wrote last year. there are some real gems in here.

"By the way, how do the people who work at Disney NOT know that the songs are the best parts about the movies? How the fuck could they not know? Why would they think that cutting or shortening songs would be the right decisions to make?"

"When a character witnesses something emotional, such as the death of a family member, or reuniting with a long lost friend, each of these two movies shows a completely different visual indicator of what is going on. In the cartoon, the character's eyes might widen slightly, their mouth might change a bit, maybe into something more like a frown, they'll move their head in a way that signals their emotional state. In the live action movie the most I ever saw was a character's ear twitching or them moving their head a bit. They all have these tiny, round, very true-to-life animal eyes that basically stare unblinking and show no reaction to what is going on."

To be honest, a real National Geographic documentary is more interesting than Lion King 2019 and that's just a sad thing to type down.

There are a ton of good animal movies on Disney+.

The Lion King 2019 is not a part of this.
