L&L have mostly steered clear of discussing Disney's "live action" remakes, but they were so surprised by how much they enjoyed 2019's The Lion King that they had to sit down and truly work out why. What makes some of these movies brilliant and some appalling? What is Disney trying to achieve? Can some remakes actually surpass the originals? All this and more in a long discussion that actually ends in a fairly neat conclusion. They were just as surprised by that.
