You know the main problem with the “live action” Lion King? Why it looks so lifeless?
The hyper realistic style is actually limiting the animators, rather than freeing them. The style makes it much harder to have memorable character designs and good expressions. Real lions don’t need to do things like emote in a way that humans can understand – but characters in a film do. The original movie was more cartoony not due to animation limitations of the time, but because that style genuinely serves the story better.
To show you what I mean, compare these two shots of Simba, from right after Scar says “run away and never return.”
Here is a clear reaction, with a strong beat for us to connect with before the character makes a decision. Even without any dialogue, even without any context, you can understand the emotion there just by the expression and the mannerisms. Is it realistic? No! He’s bright yellow and has eyebrows. But do we empathize with him? Yes!
Meanwhile, here is… a lion. Turning and running. No expression, no beats, no character moments, nothing. He actually can’t express himself because the animators are locked into the realistic style. If they tried to animate a strong expression as warranted for the scene, it would look terrible. Is it realistic? Hell yeah! Look at those textures! Look at that fur! But do we empathize with him? …nah. Not really.
To conclude: when you’re retelling Hamlet with a bunch of animated lions, cartoonish-ness is your friend, not your enemy.
“i wish people could just say how they feel like ‘hey i really don’t like when you do that to me’ or ‘hey i’m in love with you’ or ‘hi i really miss you and i think about you all the time’ without sounding desperate. why can’t everyone be painfully honest and just save people the trouble. maybe some people just can’t face and accept the truth”

“We often want it so badly that we ruin it before it begins. Overthinking. Fantasizing. Imagining. Expecting. Worrying. Doubting. Just let it naturally evolve.”

you must teach your heart to accept what cannot be changed.
I’m mad that the wrong people are getting killed.
