The new Lion King looks sensational. But now I’m wondering if it’s gonna be as much of a shot-by-shot remake of the original as the trailer made it look… is that something we want, or need? (But then, I guess the broader question would be “do we want, or need any of these remakes?”)

On the other hand, that would be better than adding new, weird elements to the story, I guess (I’m looking at you, Beauty & the Beast, with your weird, weird magical book mcguffin, and your mother-dies-of-plague subplot, both of which lead absolutely nowhere), so who knows
