Alright, I'm just going to say it:

I think Disney listened when every critic under the sun made fun of the unnecessary CGI Lion King remake for all of the characters having about as much expression as a stale piece of toast. And then they proceeded to completely overcompensate with this even more unnecessary Mufasa sequel

If the animation in the movie is as bad as the trailer made it look...

#cgi from fifteen years ago looked better holy fuck #everything is too bouncy and fast-paced #granted that could just be from editing for the trailer #but we've crossed right over from being too emotionless to way over the top #and THIS is why this style of animation doesn't fucking work - especially if there are no humans to balance it out #2D or even the artistic 3D animation lends itself better to over-animated emotions and characters #because the visual style suspends our disbelief enough that it doesn't look uncanny #this hyper realistic style just makes everything so unnatural when you see lions smiling like people #and this also just rubs in the fact that they COULD have animated this more like the original lion king #or even used their disney animation 3D art style #and the product would have looked 1000x better #but they're still desperate to keep 'live action' movies alive so they did it this way #(also i'm pretty sure cgi artists aren't unionized the way other animators are so it's cheaper to do it this way)#i really hate these fucking movies if that wasn't made clear
