The Lion King is one of the first examples of classic film designed to receive a sequel in 3-D conversion, and a whole lot more on the horizon are stereoscopic, including the Star Wars movies, Top Gun, My Dinner with Andrew, and much more. So is it useful? After seeing the new version, the 3-D does not really change that much. But it is not as embarrassing as some of the new post-production 3-D jobs, and other than mute off slightly brighter color film, animation classic that we know and love go through the process unscathed. Personally, no chance to see the movie back on the big screen, and for parents to be able to present it to their children is all right by me. This is what the Smurfs or the people.
The inevitable downturn in 3-D is already warming up for a while, and I'm sure some other conversions down the pike are a collision with a public rage and headache-y. However, this should do very well, with families bringing a whole new generation of viewers to enjoy the adventure Kimba, uh, I mean Simba. In addition, parents have the opportunity to tell their children that they can remember the days when times were really tough and people could not afford to film in two dimensions.
The Lion King 3D
We were in the age of the children of the post-CGI film for so long (before you know you "Toy Story" will celebrate his 20th birthday), many of today's viewers do not realize the first animations even when made movies like "The Lion King", both in terms of charm and classic animation capabilities. And although it is far from being the best Disney animated film ever made - although this has more to do with the quality of work much more for Disney - is perhaps the perfect film used to reintroduce the classic 2D animation to a cell new generation. Anyway, both good and bad, "The Lion King" embodies the height of the last classic feature animation that existed in the 1990s.
As advertising and wasting time not a puff says: "The Lion King" was the first Disney animated film based on the original material instead of the previous history of Fable or children. Comparison with the marketing surrounding "Tangled," 16 years after the first film to use the classic Disney fairy tale again, or "The Princess and the Frog" as the first animated classic films at the same time, and it is clear that the major change in the industry went through a short period of time.
Our hero here is young Simba (Jonathan Taylor Thomas), the royal son of Mufasa (James Earl Jones), king of beasts, and the heir to Pride Rock. Unfortunately, it is also the grandson of the ambitious simpering Scar (Jeremy Irons), who covets the throne Mufasa, and do anything to get it. Also, and above all, using his young nephew as bait in a plot to kill the king.
In this case, "Original Equipment" depends on the amount you are willing to expand the concept. "The Lion King" is not based on a specific story, but it is a little different legends "Hamlet" and - depending on who you ask - of the old animated series "White Lion".
Believe it or not, "The Lion King" shakes free of its influence and reduce its own identity as a story skillfully made learning both a personal responsibility to others and the earth we live on.
Or at least, carving an identity as much as possible. After several years of effort from Pixar when compared with some cracks in the Disney style of the 90 are much more obvious in hindsight and all "The Lion King" has not aged badly, has not passed this or weaknesses. The latest film in production during the tenure of Jeffrey Katzenberg, with the company before leaving to start DreamWorks, many elements of charm and original smart Katzenberg was younger, when he headed the animation division had begun at this point rotate images and finally became even more obvious in retrospect.
But what it lacks originality in real time, it gains in charm and craftsmanship. The landscapes of the Serengeti make hay for the great Disney animators and "The Lion King" is one of the most spectacular and epic of all Disney animated films. This is even more evident in the 3D conversion level after that adds depth to the 3D movie is supposed to add, but that is often lacking. Animated films, even against the cartoons, it is easier than the live action beginning with, of course, because they are created from layers of visual information. The result is beautiful and worth the extra money for 3D.
Especially the wildebeest stampede created by Scar spectacular ever to try to claim the throne by having the father and son at once. Naturalism and dynamics in the context scary for children at the time and still is. Itself marked by the experience, Simba leaves the pride and leaders in exile, where he meets a strange meerkat (Nathan Lane) / Warthog (Ernie Sabella) and the duo tries to leave his past behind him.
He is helped by some of the best songs of the era of Disney films, even if it is the first animated production of the day without the participation of the songwriter Howard Ashman, who died during the production of "Aladdin" a few years earlier. Ashman was a central element of the "Disney Renaissance" and then "The Lion King" is not quite the charm Ashman-Menken team did what it proved that even without a quality work Ashman still be expected. The score by Hans Zimmer, then a composer and a place to come with less than great films to his credit, has put a lot of ground Zimmer would follow for the rest of his career.
And it's very well acted with the location of a casting vote for the most parts. While Timon lane more noticeable in the original, to the point where it drove the Broadway star of film and television is the scarring of iron, which is really the best part of film. It goes so quickly and easily from a deadly Campy shows how to make a good villain over the top. Most pieces are some other almost as good, Rowan Atkinson as a bird too informal Robert Guillaume as the mystical baboon. Some of the comedy has not aged well, especially idiot hyena minions of Scar (voiced by Whoopi Goldberg and Cheech Marin), but his performance did not.
