Description

OK, lions, now let's get in formation! The Broadway Babies are back from a much-needed summer break to share our thoughts on Disney's latest remake, "The Lion King," which has roared through the box office and left fans of the original divided over the movie's photorealistic yet dulled CGI'd Pridelands, its confusingly changed plot and somewhat questionable vocal talents.  Show Notes Moira Kelly (the original voice of Nala) talks about how hard the voice acting experience is Since we do draw a line between "The Jungle Book" and "The Lion King," here's a more detailed comparison about the successes and failures of both movies. A really interesting (albeit all about economic theory, so bear with us) video essay take on the financial reasons behind all the recent Disney remakes… spoiler alert: It’s capitalism’s fault!!!
