That is what realism do to a design. Like most Disney villain lose some of their menacing in the remake (Scar, Jafar, Gaston,...) due to they keep adding on unnecessary bits.

E.T technically is a Isekai movie
I kinda feel bad that I watched this review before I watched the actual movie just so I can fully experience that hilarity of the Simba yell.
Continuing my current theme of pointing out errors in Doug's reviews, I want to say him complaining about the additional Nala scenes before she leaves Pride Rock as pointless... is kinda funny since that actually happens in the broadway play... which he has spoken highly of in past videos.
With all the memes about women choosing a bear over a man, Hollywood might wanna get on an 'East of the Sun and West of the Moon' adaptation
I mean, that doesn't mean he didn't dislike those scenes in the musical.
Watching Doug First time Viewing of the Lion King remake, they point out that it's pretty pointless to have the close-up shots to show the characters emotion despite almost none of the characters have any emotional expression. Also is it that hard to make " Can you feel the Love tonight" happen at night? Like there even the word "night" in the lyric.

Simba displayed more emotion in Kingdom Hearts 2, a freaking Playstation 2 game.

This is going to be so much fun.
What's up with the live action remakes adding unnecessary shit that only makes things more questionable?
Trying to fix "criticism" from clickbait/ fan theory. Try to cut out" problematic" elements accounting to market research..

Honestly, the only good change they’ve done to these remakes was Jasmine, and that has less to do with the writing and more with Naomi Scott’s performance.

Both Aladdin and BATB remakes made a non infantile father which is an upgrade, but other than that they are really subpar especially when compared to the originals.
Makes me wonder how they'll handle the "less than stellar in performance" Disney renaissance stuff like Hercules.
I had a reasonably good time at Aladdin (2019) but I still much prefer the animated version. One other thing I did like, and it's what most critics agreed about: Will Smith as Genie, when he's not trying to imitate Robin Williams' hyperactivity, brings a fresh and funny take to the character.
My problem with Beauty and the Beast was that it stuck too closely to its source material to the point of almost being a shot-for-shot remake. Like Psycho (1998).

I've always felt, it's the more mediocre movies that should be getting remakes, not the ones that are already considered great. There's so much more potential for improvement.
I missed the part where that's my problem.
The Camp Crystal Lake Slasher
Such as Pete's Dragon, which was an unenjoyable slog in its original state. You know what'd be a good remake? Chicken Little. Give it to someone who's actually good at making asshole comedies such as James Gunn.

Lots of coffee
x13: Regarding the Nala scenes in the musical: I haven't seen the 2019 movie, but from what I remember, the pacing between Nala and Simba in the musical isn't much faster than the movie, so the complaint about them going from "I missed you!" right to "you have to go" probably isn't as egregious as the 2019 movie. It also incorporates some interesting creepy interactions between Scar and Nala. Plus, the musical is much longer than either movie and has more time for these scenes. You can't compare the pacing in the movie to that of the musical because the musical has the benefit of an extra hour or so. And young!Nala wasn't a stick in the mud in the musical, either.
I agree that the "selling drugs to kids" comparison was pretty stupid. Also he had, like, four different sketch plot lines in this one. That was a bit wacky. (Though they were all pretty funny. God, I love his cats.)

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

For the first time since Follow That Bird review a decade or so ago, Doug reviews a Sesame Street movie. Specifically The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland.

Stray observations:
- I didn't know the NC had maple syrup for blood!
- "You know where this joke is going."
- "Immediately hooked!"
- "I swear that's the last—I'm not making that promise."
- "Move over, Hamilton...'cause you're not centered."

Just a person. He/him.
No jokes about Elmo's actor being a pedo (allegedly) either. Doug probably doesn't even know about any of that mess, but I would imagine it's something he would rather avoid discussing in light of CA's history.
I remember liking Elmo as a kid but I don't know if he was my favorite. I think I did like one of the songs in the movie (Take The First Step).
This is going to be so much fun.

To be fair, this was long before all the high-profile accusations and Me Too came along.
Jason has come back to kill for Mommy.
Well, he did make a joke about Jared in his review of Jack and Jill and that was right after the CA controversy.
On an unrelated note, why didn't the Nostalgia Critic ever make a joke combining Mr. Freeze and "I was frozen today!"? I mean, they're two things he jokes about a lot! Maybe we'll get one eventually.
I heard Billy Eichner and Will Smith will be making a Birdcage remake soon.
