Mufasa in the original actually sounds disappointed when he says that line, even putting heavy emphasis on DELIBERATELY just to get a point across on just how much Simba fucked up. In the remake he sounds so bored. Maybe it's because James Earl Jones is getting too old for voice acting.
Godess Call Yeah Mufasa sounded like an outraged and upset parent because Simba was about to lose his life in the original just by disobeying him. If you were a parent, you would feel the same way. It’s like he didn’t care in the remake.
Kid's probably never going to see a penny of his earnings when he grows up because his dipshit parents would've probably blown through everything (as is tradition in Hollywood).
That would actually be an interesting change to the story and you could do a lot with the direction that would take the movie. It might not be as good as the original but it would be ballsy as hell and I’d probably see it just for that fact.
@@clayjack9969 The problem is that Disney doesn't make these movies because they want to do something different with their old films, they made them solely to money. They could've easily gone back to the source material with Beauty and The Beast, Aladdin, Mulan etc. and come up with a unique and interesting takes on those stories, but in their minds, that wouldn't sell as well as sloppily rehashing their previous work.
@@Alejandroigarabide Lion King gets at least a dozen editing highlights, the Kimba spin-off and a 2+ hour review. Mulan gets under 5 minutes and a 2/10.
@@KameronJ7 Well, I'm going to say it. Lion King 2019 was the worst remake ever until Mulan was released. A few days ago I described Mulan 2020 to a friend like this: Imagine a Lion King remake with the following changes: -No Timon, Pumba and Zazu -No songs -The last action scene has Simba and Scar alone, and no fire nor humor. -All other action scenes are shortened and less epic. -Simba and Shenzi have the force. At least the Lion King remake had funny actors portraying Timon and Pumba, even if the character animation has no character... or animation. And lets not get started on the awful inexpresive actress who plays Mulan, or her political opinions. Disney somehow found a new low, a new way to suck.
I had to watch the new "Lion King" at work with a bunch of children. The only thing that brought me any kind of enjoyment was the fact that the kid next to me was just as bored and annoyed as I was and we started making fun of how bad the movie was. At some point I just left the room cause I rather did chores than continue to watch the movie... at least I got paid tho
Although it doesn’t really apply here, but the market reach of a famous young singer is far greater than that of a famous child actor, and that’s all that Disney cares about
@cat snake Yeah. The Nightmare Before Christmas did that for Jack Skellington and I don't think anyone complained that Danny Elfman did the singing instead of Chris Sarandon

I hate how in all their recent behind the scenes extras, Disney refuses to show any struggle or grit or heart In the making of their movies. It all just comes of as soulless corporate confection product
Yeah indeed, this movie is a freaking' soulless cooperate product made for meets the company intended strict realise deadline.. This movie get made for just 2 1/2 year - 3 year while the original lion king take up 5/6 year to produce
It’s not even just (sole) Disney productions. The new Blu-ray releases from the MCU Spider-Man movies have a lack of behind the scenes features (and documentaries), when every other Spider-Man video release has been notable for having hours of bts contents and featurettes (even TASM2). Disney is making every single project into a soulless product.
One of the worst parts is that all the actors just stand in one place the entire scene, which kind of makes me wonder if anyone is manning the cameras. I guess Oprah's network doesn't have Oprah money.
"The Lion Kink," Disney's iconic NC-17 classic featuring the timeless musical numbers "The Circle Jerk of Life" and "Can You Feel The Mostly Consensual Love Tonight."
Jon’s obsession with getting that “nature documentary” feel with the camerawork actively ruins the tension in the movie. That scene where Scar tells Mufasa about the stampede is far better paced in the original and the chosen “camera angles” help to convey the upset and stress in the line delivery. In the new one it’s just like “yep, medium shot of some cgi lions”. 😖 to quote Adam, “IT’S SO BAAAD”
I hope he’ll do a compilation of all the best bits of the Lion King 2019 highlights once he’s done with the review. He should also make a 12 hour loop of the guy saying “DUDE, PRIDE ROCK!” over and over.
@@smaakjeks I was one of them growing up the IMAX version, including Beauty and the Beast, man that that new song sucks so bad, I was legitimately surprised the ORIGINAL version.
Thank you for criticizing how much the remake f*cked up the pouncing scene! Even with small bits of a scene like that, they bastardized the characters and relationship dynamics. In the original, the pouncing moment was natural because Mufasa is presented as a powerful king you can take seriously but can also be a caring and playful father at the same time. Simba got distracted by the cricket and Mufasa uses that opportunity to teaching (while also joke around) with Simba at the same time, thus the initiation worked. In the remake, Simba was never distracted and Mufasa suddenly teaching him how to pounce came literally out of nowhere and is nowhere near as natural and organic as the original. 😑
thank you for saying everything I wanted to say about that scene, i cannot fucking stand what they did to it and for what reason? like why, what on earth did it improve
If I never saw the original I would have been like what the fuck, why are we doing this pouncing scene right now when we just started the morning report??
That's also because Mufasa and Zazu's friendship was non-existent in the remake. Mufasa taught Simba to pounce on Zazu just for fun, but there was still a respectable friendship between the two of them. With that out of the way, the remake version of the scene made Mufasa a jerk.
@@michaelstrong5383 Not only does Mufasa ignore Zazu and not give a shit about what he has to say in this scene in the remake, but he also ignored him earlier in the first dialogue based scene after Mufasa and Scar were talking. In the original, after Scar walked off from Mufasa, Zazu and Mufasa share a little, but genuine exchange between one another in regards to how Mufasa should handle Scar's disapproval of Simba becoming the future king and Mufasa walks with Zazu while chuckling at his little joke about Scar making a useful throwrug. That scene established what their friendship is like and indicates that they have been good friends for quiet some time despite us not seeing that before Simba was born. In the remake, while Zazu was talking to Mufasa after Scar walked away, Mufasa himself just randomly walks off to the side as if he didn't want to listen to Zazu and got bored. Not only is that change so stupid, but so disrespectful to a character who's supposed to be wise and caring authority figure.
@@Lauren_210 And then there's that scene where Mufasa is about to scold Simba for going to the Elephant Graveyard, and Zazu tells him that Simba was a lot like him when he was a cub. Now that line was actually used in the Broadway musical to further elaborate Mufasa and Zazu's friendship, but in the remake, Mufasa just ignores it. It makes me question why they even used that line in the movie to begin with.
@@Lauren_210 He's just old and tired. The dude had to warm up his voice to do his original work in 94'. Imagine a marathon runner needing to really limber up for a run at the age of 64, and then see how they do when they're 89 and they have to try to beat their time. It's going to be silly.
It’s not nostalgia, I only first watched Drake & Josh a year or two ago and it was hilarious. I actually didn’t mind the laugh track so much, it rlly wasn’t overused. Watch any clips on RU-vid
@@smaakjeks over 4 years ago now, IHE made a video about how memes like "damn daniel" were stupid, and to show how little there was to them he just put a plant in the middle of the room, pointed at it and said "durr plant". Soon afterwards, it became it's own meme.
it awakened in me a memory i'd forgotten. i sat there for a good minute going... 'duh plahnt? what? why does that sound familiar' until it get fuckin hit me like a truck
JD McCrary feels like he was only cast because he collaborated with Donald Glover _Like wouldn’t it be so cute and funny that these two actors who worked together played the same character ha ha ha ha ha_
@@cannymarie2124 I don't think op means "JD has expressed he feels this way" rather it feels to them that this is the case. I would imagine JD's public life is way to manicured to express any dissenting opinion.
26:44 I actually noticed how bad that shot looked, too. I think the problem is that Zazu's head is going out of frame at an odd angle, making it hard to tell what's being focused on.
6:44 "Because I *slaved* over the stove." LAUGH TRACK Get it? Because he's black. And he said he slaved over something. I don't want that to be the punchline, but they put a laugh track over it, so there had to be a punchline somewhere in that sentence, and I think 1966 Kimba might have an idea of what that punchline is...
I think you're seeing race where it's not the point. Slaving over the stove is quite relatable to a lot of fathers out there more than people finding slavery funny.
@@lnfreeman Funny enough, I thought there were times where they actually did that. For example, during the stampede scene, it sounded like Mufasa's "HOLD ON!!" line delivery sounds identical to the original. It just sounded so awkward.
What's even more insulting is that James Earl Jones is the only original VA they actually brought back, and he sounds terrible. Jeremy Irons on the other hand, whose performance as Scar is probably even more iconic and who still sounds great, wasn't even approached. James Earl Jones is supposedly irreplaceable, but Jeremy Irons isn't, get fucked Disney.
@@Sugarman96 Honestly though, all the character are like that. I don't think anybody except Rowan Atkinson could have played Zazu in that uptight, British way without him coming off as completely insufferable (case in point, John Oliver) And I also think that Jonathan Taylor Thomas as Simba is pretty great, since it's one of those things where you don't ever see him in a recording booth. You just see the character (unlike certain child "actors" we know). And I know I'm a minority here, but I actually think Matthew Broderick was great as adult Simba. He doesn't have a very big presence, but that works well for a character like Simba who's struggling to find power within himself. Of course I doubt they took any of that into account when they made this movie. Gotta get dem views tho. James Earl Jones clout for the win.
I’ve never watched a version of the Lion King that included the Morning Report before. I only heard abt it a couple years ago (ppl complaining abt it) and saw it on RU-vid assuming it was some special feature I never saw. I still feel kinda weird when ppl talk abt it as common knowledge bc it doesn’t even register as part of the movie for me
The rant that Adum goes on at 20:03 is 1000% spot on, and it’s the main problem with most remakes. The fact that directors will sign on to remake a movie they either don’t like or just don’t understand is so irritating. It honestly feels like sometimes they just make changes the same way a kid who’s cheating on a test will make changes to the answer they’re copying to make them seem different but end up losing the meaning.
With regard to the music being so loud in 2019’s Scar tells Mufasa about the stampede scene, it’s hilarious to think about it as if the music is happening in real time and Scar is having to yell over it. That also explains why Mufasa is confused upon hearing Simba’s name - the music’s so loud he’s almost not sure if that’s what Scar said 😂
I have a very important question now; does Adam care about the Mulan animated movie just as much as he cares about the Lion King one? Because if that's the case, we might have a new endeavor on the horizon. At least we don't have a Kimba to review... Right? EDIT: Oh well, he apparently does not care XD That's a shame, but also good for his mental health, he needs a break after this Lion King Passion
He might make a quickie at the very best, people who cared a lot about Mulan already destroyed the movie from pre-production to "Disney thanked concentration camps in the credits"
It kinda looks like Disney reaches in to their usual bag of tricks for the Mulan remake. Also I’d say Adam is of an age that the original Mulan would not have appealed to him at all in contrast to the Lion King
@b_radfriendship the movie was filmed in the region where the Chinese government is dragging the local Muslim population in "rieducation camps" (aka concentration camps where they're beating the faith and culture out of them), and Disney thanked some of the people working there for the cooperation. Don't get me wrong, Disney likely didn't choose to film there (like there's the possibility that when the actress playing Mulan said "actually the police is right in beating up people in Hong Kong" she was forced by the propaganda), but it still doesn't look good for its reputation on the international level.
This channel alone that's simply just YMS HIGHLIGHTS has TRIPLE the amount of subscribers than the "RU-vid sensation" kid who was cast in a multi-million dollar Disney film SMH
@@YMSHighlights if you use a program like Mouse Without Borders -- or similar software -- you can just drag your mouse from one computer to the other as if they were all the same machine. Your keyboard will also type to the machine the currently has the focus (the one with the mouse cursor on).
6:50, JD smiling through his lines makes it seem like he's forcing himself just to say them. I don't think I've seen an actor so young, phoning in their performance.
If you read up about Jon Favreau’s earlier films, like Iron Man, the actors had to work out their own lines because they didn’t have a script. So the stars basically directed themselves
It's not as bad but not because it's good. It's pure garbage. The difference is Mulan doesn't cause any kind of anger in me. TLK remake makes me frothing at the mouth FURIOUS, and the Mulan remake was like "wow... this is so dull not even as a remake but as a wuxia movie. Time to forget about it completely." Where TLK is me screaming in every one of these highlight videos "How is it POSSIBLE for a movie to be THIS LEVEL OF TRASH????" (also no I did not pay $30 to see Mulan 🙃)
And it’s like john seen a documentary once about lions before this and told the animators “ears always move because flys!!” Because it happens every 30 seconds
The show that JD was in that Adum showed in this vid (The Paynes) was 1 of 2 DREADFUL remakes of an actually pretty good show (and at least classic in the 2000s black community), yknow by Tyler Perry standards, called The House of Payne. The grandpa and grandma that were shown in the clip were legit actors and singers before Tyler Perry came along. They starred in his movies, shows, and plays as they got older. The Paynes got shut down EXTREMELY quick because what people don't understand about Tyler Perry tv shows is that pretty much EVERYONE BUT HIM made his old sitcoms seem genuine and charming with some pretty good humor- despite the inconsistent writing and the laugh track (that wasn't nearly as overused as it is in his new sitcoms). The show was a complete dump truck (and Tyler tried to act like Oprah's terrible network was the problem when it wasn't renewed for a new season, so-naturally- he moved on to a "better"😂 network called BET), and JD and the little girl were legitimately some of the worst child actors I've ever seen. I'm even not trying to be rude, but these parents are worse than pageant parents or just as bad as them. They're clearly living their dreams through these kids who aren't even mature enough to know if this is what they want to do as a career. There are kids who show interest in these performing arts, and THEN the parents try to cultivate that; however, JD doesn't seem like that was his case. When you compare JD and the little girl in "The Paynes" to China Anne McClain and Doc Shaw (legitimate actors [and China is a legitimate singer] to this day) in the original "The House of Payne", it's easy to see who had more passion. It seems like one group of parents was more focused on seeing if this is what the child wanted rather than what they wanted. Even now, China is grown and wants to focus on other things, and her family is cool about it. I feel kinda bad for JD because there's no passion in what he does, and he keeps being put in these projects with people who are just as passionless as they're all just trying to get money.
Every interview Favreau did makes it feel like his wife’s boyfriend actually directed the film and he just let John do all the publicity stuff. He had no idea what the fuck was going on no matter what he was discussing.
Something that a lot of people seem to ignore is how nothing really feels like its interacting with other things. the animation isnt that good. Legend of the guardians, owls of ga'hool was hyper realistic but still had character and despite being made in like, 2010, it looks and is animated WAY better than this garbage fire. When simba jumps on mufasa there's no real weight or significant movement. the hair moves a little but not enough to feel correct? Its like, everything's skin is too tight or something, or too stiff and hard. Its weird...throughout the movie it feels like nothing is really interacting with other objects, especially the ground--the animation is really mediocre. They need to watch some documentaries, man.
Every new upload of the editing highlights make me crack a huge smile, honestly these are great and I really appreciate Adam streaming this as well as the editor who compiles these
Maybe you've mentioned this, but I also find the realism of the new one to be so visually BLAND. Like the colors and backgrounds and everything are dull and gray and unappealing.
Nah, they(the TLK 2019 production team) are dumb, the realism of a real africa are more vibrant than what we got in here, unless they're not taking notes from real life animal and they don't what they were doing ..
I know I might get hate or whatever for saying this. But, am I the only one who thinks that Adam can sound and act very entitled and downright annoying in his streams? Hear me out, his main channel is probably my favorite channel ever. And I'm talking one out of around 159 other channels I'm subscribed to. I think his critiques are amazing and well justified. And his videos are always entertaining to watch. And I just love to see what kind of movies he recommends so that I can know what to look out for. And I'm grateful for his content. All that said, I feel like something changes in his personality from his videos and streams. When he streams you just get that much more raw take of him. And I realize how defensive he is in comparison to his videos. And he *can* act very rude and entitled too, quite often in these clips. I'm not saying he's not right about some things he says, but his tone and his instant reaction to certain things are just really rude often times. Maybe I'm taking things wrong, and he's just joking around or playing a character, but I don't see that. If anyone wants examples, I can offer a few.
Old comment but I agree with you. I remember seeing a clip where he suddenly started bitching incessantly about the design of American dollar bills because they "seem" easy to damage and counterfeit to him (which was proven incorrect in the comments, I believe) and look different than a lot of other paper currencies. It was really weird. I enjoy his main videos and insights a lot but watching footage from his day-to-day streams can honestly get kind of uncomfortable when he starts flipping out about some random little thing that he might not even know much about. Glad he has an outlet for that anger at least, and that some people are entertained by it.
25:36 Mufasas eyes change colour from yellow to white and back again. Weird cause it happens in the original too but it's more prominent in the remade version of the scene.
Even on sitcom standards (with the laughtring track and everything), the paynes is painfully bad, esoeciallt on the execution of lines It take them like 3 extra seconds to say their lines God, its so awkward and cringy
