A look at the jerseys:




Nice. Pretty faithful. Takes me back, had a pair of my own from the original.

Quote from this article:

John Musker wrote:I think Favreau's a brilliant filmmaker, but the shot-for-shot fealty to the hand-drawn Lion King, as well as the inexpressive animation in his film, left me uninvolved.

Yes, indeedy!

Yeah, the doll sequences were quite beautiful. The rest of the movie not so much...

Maybe this will be the year I finally get it..!

It was released in Australia a few years back, region free. Has a commentary! It's out of print though and very hard to come by.

Guess it's a small consolation the UK's getting the reboot at all, since evidently the original isn't available to watch or stream anywhere!? I couldn't live without a dose once in awhile, especially the marathons!

Maybe the hunter will get a backstory? Try and humanize him... Actually strike that. When you get down to it, there isn't much plot to lift from the original, so there's certainly wiggle room to do something new here and there.

Maybe mo-cap? Nah, I don't see him going down that route as unique as that would be. Maybe have the CGI try and emulate it. I just hope it doesn't pull a Beauty and have Pinocchio look busy and awfully realized...

He's just known as The Great Prince of the Forest.

Zemeckis has been confirmed. Neat.

My bad, the forum didn't take my edit!

Patrick was great in the role. "A prince does not woo hoo". All-around great sequel... or rather midquel!

The films official soundtrack:



Uh, I kinda miss Gangsta's Paradise!

Love the references though, the melody and the 16-bit visuals! That's the Sonic I know and love.

Enter LUNAR for 8 points.

It would be shocking if it wasn't who you were thinking!
