My expectations werent high but given these remakes are often 1:1 to originals, I was looking forward to at least seeing Jumbaa. And then they made Jumbaa and Pleakley just regular humans. Boriiiing.
Downside with live action I guess; in the cartoon the disguises are paper-thin but their human clothing is sufficient. Live action uncanny value takes that away from us; they can’t even pull it off with Stitch (really highlights “blue koala with bin-lid mouth”).
So are we not getting scenes where Jumbaa is so large, heavy, and strong that he causes damage or gets stuck? Where rubbery flexible Pleakley responds to physics or his wibdmilling arms when he panics? Jumbaa and Pleakley are never going to fight over sharing a wig (anf well never see it perched delicately on Jumbaa’s head) because they’ll simply never use one.
Ruins the fun when you take aliens put of the movie about aliens imo.
Stock isn’t about how much a company is worth, it’s how much investors and stockholders think its worth (especially in the future).
Show an ad or make a policy change and enough people saying we are so back will uptick valuation. Making a controversial change will decrease it. Anytime leadership potions are changed, the new CEO/etc is evaluated for stockholders guessing if they’re a good choice or a bad one.
