I get that. I know every single line of dialogue from that cartoon. Both of my girls were especially enamored with it back in the day.
Doing it now in CGI will make it realistic rather than an animated cartoon.
This is what I don't get. I mean, it was animated. What is the point of redoing it with CGI animation? It's not like they are re-doing a flick that 50 years old filmed in black and white. Besides, what voice could ever be better than James Earl Jones for Mufasa?
I have a CD set of James Earl Jones reading the entire Bible. Wow.
Well I admit I have concerns the voice overs have a tall order to reach the level of the original. As with all of Hollywood today the new players have not risen to their craft by any means. Terrible actors who all look and sound alike....without any distinctions to say they are actually ‘stars’. .....and script writers fail just as badly.
If they think CGI alone will carry lousy voice overs they are mistaken.
Yes James Earl Ray is one in a million.
Did you not watch the trailer? It is eminently way better in CGI than a cartoon. Photo realistic if you ask me.
