Director defends live-action remake after ‘Hakuna Matata’ backlash
    2019-07-18  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

DIRECTOR Jon Favreau has defended his photo-realistic reboot of “The Lion King” after it faced online criticism for its new interpretation of the original film’s famous “Hakuna Matata” number.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Favreau said that he understood the passion people have for the original film. “But like anything else,” he said, “I think people have expectations based on what their childhood was.”

The new film’s “Hakuna Matata” scene, which replaces a number of different locales and sight gags with a photo-realistic lion, meerkat and warthog endlessly pacing around the same spot of jungle, was met with concern upon its unveiling last week, particularly when a Twitter account posted a video that played both versions of the scene side-by-side.

“I don’t see how Favreau can improve on this, especially considering how his direction often is more functional than expressive,” one Twitter user commented. Another added: “It’s so realistic that all the life is gone.”(SD-Agencies)
