The Original Animator Of 'The Lion King' Is Pretty Unhappy With The Remake

Not that anything I have to say about it matters, or frankly what any of us have to say.

It's already made over a billion dollars worldwide, so it's not like anyone saying anything negative or positive about the film is going to change anything.

Which is insane if you think about it.

They made 4 billion dollars on 4 movies alone.

So at this point, we're just going to take people's opinions, let you know about them and move on.

So amongst the millions of other voices who have chimed in about this remake (whether they be good, bad or ugly), we have some pretty important ones that have given their opinions.

Have given their opinions on this movie, and they range from good to bad, to be honest.

It's actually perfect structurally, it's almost as if the three of them planned it.

Of the thirteen artists the Huffington Post talked to about this movie, only three were willing to speak on it, which is either a good thing or a very bad thing.

Do with it what you will.

Named David Stephan, is a pretty prolific animator, or at least he was.

He worked on Aladdin, Beauty And The Beast, and many other projects we associate with the Disney renaissance.

Honestly, the most he has to say about the project is: "'Why? Did you really have to do that?'"

That in the grand scheme of things now, he feels like the shareholder, has more to say about which movies are made rather than the artist or the creator.

He has also done a lot of prolific work since, such as _Looney Tunes: Back in Action _.

At the end of the day, all he had to say was:

"As far as I'm concerned, it's kind of none of my business whether they want to remake it or not,"

So he was the one the animation team was thanking in the famous "Sex" message in the sky.

He said:

"Overall, I thought the film stands on its own," he said. "It not only showcases a great story again, but it's an homage to the original film."

Was this remake unnecessary? Are you lukewarm to it?

Or was it the best movie all year, and have you already contributed about $23 to Disney's billions by seeing it twice?
