A complete triumph of technology should not bring a retrograde

The real beast version of The Lion King, the CG that can't pick out any faults, can almost be considered as real animals performing, but the characters also lack "humanity", so that emotions cannot be expressed through completely animal faces, and the audience can't integrate into it. Ambience.

In the scene of Mufasa's death, Simba is completely like a performance performed by a real lion trained by the director, so that it is difficult for the audience to substitute for this feeling, and the pursuit of extremeness, delicacy and reality is too much, isn't it? Too realistic animal depictions, so I can't distinguish Mom, Nana, Scar Simba battle, and can only be barely recognized by the body shape. The complete victory of technology should not bring about a regression in the viewing experience. The whole film is like watching an exquisite and exquisite circus performance, but that's all. In contrast, the fantasy forest a few years ago did not make me feel so uncomfortable. Probably, the animals inside are not 100% animalized!

After watching it later, the CG of this film is all computer synthesized, which means that there is no motion capture technology that we are familiar with. Nangoe’s reality shows that the best motion capture technology is the best for making this type of film. After all, what we want to see is personification. Animals instead of the BBC's annual mega-hit, Lion of the Wild?
