The lion king 2 full movie dailymoition6/21/2023 ![]() ![]() A lots been made of Timon and Pumbaa in this movie, and rightfully so, they're one of the few things that is expanded and made to live on their own. However, when it's doing it's own thing, it actually kinda' works. It was different artists with different visions. It lives under the shadow of the original often doing things because "the original did it" without really seeming to have an understanding of why that worked in the original. That's this films biggest flaw, and it really did bother me. ![]() Look I'm not saying it needs to be a shot for shot remake, but if you are going to go through the effort of doing the exact same scenes, either do them better, or do them at least as good, don't just rush through them to check off a box. ![]() Here, he just kinda looks at it, sniffles a bit, and the scene moves on. I remember in the original there was time dwelling on Simba looking at the body and begging for Mufasa to get up. Most notably, Mufasa's death scene (spoiler's I guess) feels weirdly rushed. The weird thing is despite being longer a lot of times it feels like it's rushing through the beats of the original. Really, there is a lot to admire about the movie, but still it can't escape the shadow of the original.
