Special effects applied to faces that appear on video are the order of the day. There are many videos that are demonstrating the powerful potential of this technique, some special effects that easily fool users into completely believing the speech that appears in the video. But what if we used this for good? For example… correct The Lion King?
Fixing The Lion King
The new version of Disney's Lion King It has generated all kinds of criticism, but among them the negative ones stand out, since there are many users who seem not to have left the room happy when they saw the result of the film in live action. The complaints are mainly based on the loss of connection with the characters, since by using real models, the film loses its main essence, which is none other than the public's connection with the animated characters.
Luckily, Nikolay Mochkin has created an alternate version of The Lion King with user Jonty_pressinger to make it look just like you imagined. His work is limited to modifying the official trailer of the film, enough content for him to have managed to make thousands of users fall in love with the final result.
As you can see, the faces of the animals that appear on the screen have been adequately modified so that they respect the resemblance of the original animated film. Big eyes, smooth features and what could be more important… a Scar with dark hair and a villain's look (you know what little liked Scar among the public).
Are they going to correct The Lion King?
The situation has reached a point that it seems that we are talking about Sonic The Hedgehog and the problem with the appearance of the hedgehog. The creators intoned the mea culpa and decided to delay the movie to fix the character, but no, Disney is obviously not going to change anything. The film has been in theaters for several weeks, and the result will continue to be the same as what we can see on the big screen. As announced at the time, the film was going to be adapted as a live action film, so it was to be expected that the results would be this close to reality. This has happened with Dumbo, The Jungle Book and Aladdin, and it will be done again with Mulan.
Anyway, what do you think of this arrangement of The Lion King? Would you like to see the full version of the movie in this style? More than one screams for it...
