The Lion King - Official Trailer Review
The official trailer for The Lion King has arrived. Does it deliver?
Thoughts: I thought it could only go down from the first trailer. Anything less than mind-blowing was a step down from the first teaser, because nothing will replicate the excitement and the pure joy that I had when I saw the first teaser.
I was right; but not by much. By the smallest of margins. Because this trailer is awesome.
Disney knows exactly how they want to market this film, with the perfect blend of nostalgia mixed in with showcasing their innovative new technology. It's absolutely brilliant.
We finally see shots of Scar and other characters like Timon and Pumba, as well as a grown Simba and Nala. We see classic, iconic shots from the original film with Simba and Nala being cornered by the hyenas and Scar. And we get to hear Scar say the famous line "Run away Simba, and never return". Which just sent chills down my spine.
Aside from that, from reliving parts of my childhood. I will say the ONE Thing that isn't even necessarily a bad thing, just something to point out, is that the trailer isn't long enough. It spends almost a tenth or a fourth of its time to list the cast names and have a little scene with TImon and Pumba. I would'e loved to see more shots of the animals actually talking, because barring a scene with Scar, we really don't see the animals talking other than in voiceover.
Did it Raise Excitement? Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
