There is no shortage of reasons to not like Disney’s live-action remakes, as they’re part of a larger negative trend in Hollywood. Their moral posturing in relation to the originals usually backfires. The very idea of such repetition was anathema to Walt Disney. Their existence means we live in a world where you have to specify which Lion King you’re talking about, and there are people who don’t immediately know which one you mean when you say: “the good one.”
