Il Re Leone di Jon Fraveau uscirà in sala tra pochi mesi, ma di recente a Los Angeles si è tenuta l’anteprima del film, e i fortunati spettatori hanno già pubblicato le prime critiche online e sembra che siano molto positive.
Con i talenti di Donald Glover, Beyoncé, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner e molti altri, il film è un adattamento molto realistico del film d’animazione, sebbene sia stato creato digitalmente da zero. Nonostante l’uso della tecnologia, l’obiettivo di Favreau era quello di creare un film con l’atmosfera di un’avventura live-action che fosse il più reale possibile.
Fraveau, riferendosi agli addetti degli effetti speciali ha detto:
[su_quote]Abbiamo dato loro il tempo di farlo bene nonostante sia stato un film che doveva essere rilasciato in breve tempo, ma sono fiero di ciò che è stato fatto. Molte sono le stesse persone con cui ho lavorato su Il Libro della Giungla. Se con quello c’è voluto un pò di tempo per apprendere tutto delle nuove tecnologie, ora sono al passo con i tempi e pronto a stupire con Il Re Leone.[/su_quote]
Di seguito i primi pareri:

#TheLionKing is visually and audibly astounding! I’ve never seen anything like that on an animation level. It’s so beautiful.
Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner really steal the show. Chiwetel Ejiofor is brilliant as Scar! It is so much fun. Great movie. pic.twitter.com/v62LHFIM7W

#TheLionKing does a really excellent job of honoring the original movie but also adds touches for this modern version. Those touches are a lot of fun and totally welcome. pic.twitter.com/Aupha1iQOT

Been lucky to have attended a number of world premieres but not sure I’ve ever heard as much clapping during a movie as I did tonight at #TheLionKing . Was like being at a rock concert. Movie is going to make so much money. pic.twitter.com/rnU4qf92mt

Lebo M re-slays Circle of Life. Those are the strongest Lion King thoughts I have right now. The rest falls in a muddle of beautiful gowns but the uncanny valley for animals took me out too many times. But it’s the Lion King so it’s always great.

The Lion King is a wonderful adaptation of an iconic classic. It has a few small changes which enhance what was already great and everything else is right on point. The CG can be slightly distracting at times but the emotion quickly covers that. Loved it. pic.twitter.com/9QmsP3PmNh

#TheLionKing is a breathtaking visual cinematic achievement. I can’t believe this is a CG animated movie. Timon and Pumbaa steal the show. It’s a good Disney remake but was it necessary? Maybe not, but it’s enjoyable and families are gonna love it.

I just got out of #TheLionKing and really dug it. My fear was realistic animals wouldn’t have the charisma of the cartoon, but they’re very good. Timon and Pumba steal the show. Some of the song/choreo arrangements don’t work as well as the original but still a really fun flick. pic.twitter.com/mOrODQ0vHI

Holy smokes, I really loved THE LION KING. I think (I think) it’s the most beautiful effects movie I’ve seen. Like next level, the game has changed kind of thing. (For the record I’m agnostic on the original movie and have zero nostalgia for it. Anyway, this movie hooked me.)
