Kind of noticing they barely show any animal actually speaking (only a second of Mufasa, and then singing at the end?). Wonder if they're still doing some refinement to make it less uncanny valley at this stage...

I know this gets said every time a new movie like this pops up, but holy shit. The cgi is just uncanny, scary good. Blows me away. Visually looks just about perfect.

Really? Because the whole thing is brutally uncanny valley to me.Quoting Wryan (view post)
It’s like 99.9999% of the way there...but it’s just not quite, and that awkward 0.0001% is all I can see.
I'm... not particularly excited about this, if I have to be honest.
Skip the visual effects nomination stage and just give this the award.
More like Best Animated Feature. Buncha bullshit if this wins VFX.
last four:
black widow - 8
zero dark thirty - 9
the muse - 7
freaky - 7

^ This.
If this wins a VFX award, they'll change the rules so it will never happen again (cf: rotoscoping and animation).
That is some incredible visual work in a film I'll likely never see.
I don't mean to say it's photo-real. I think it's just left of that actually, but done in a very convincing way.

This... looks.... ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz
I said it looks like a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade scene.
Does anyone know the history of Walt Disney animation from the 30s-80s? Some of the movies look really raggity in the middle of the century (Robin Hood (70s), Sword in the Stone (60s) Jungle Book (60s)) with the technique and brush strokes compared to the 1930s films such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (30s), Lady and the Tramp (50s) before returning to glory in the 80s with (the Little Mermaid).
Curious to what changed and why.
This may seem like a weird source to refer to, but these guys have some genuinely enlightening info to share about Disney's "Xerox Era" at around the 1:40 mark:

Holy crap that's exactly what it looks like too. The Xerox Era of Disney. Fascinating stuff.
Unsure if this is a spoiler, but putting it in here just in case, about a change in live-action Aladdin regarding Genie

Hmmm, I didn't know Kristen Schaal was in this. Nice.
Even though we got a Snow White and the Huntsman from Universal (that even spawned a sequel without Snow White), looks like we are also going to get a Disney version very soon. I just watched the Disney animation version recently as my wife and I attempt to watch every feature length Disney film. It's short and the animation still holds up. The Dwarfs are fun. And spoiler alert, []
Marc Webb to likely direct.
So basically Pixar’s Bright.
whoops missed your post.
Ugh.
Holy shit what an unoriginal setting.
