HI GUYS I AM REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER AND I AM WONDERING SINCE THIS MOVIE SHOULD HAVE BEEN #1 (AT LEAST IT'S #1 IN MY HEART) IF THE NEW ONE WILL FINALLY TAKE OVER THE IMDB 250 LIST. WHAT DO YOUGUYS THINK PLEASE EEXPLAIN IM SO EXCITED
What's with all the caps??
shareHonestly, no. I know The Jungle Book did well, and I think John Favreau is a great director, but this movie is a solid classic from Disney. Remaking it invites too much criticism. While I think it will be decent if not good, it will never reach the same status as the original. I think rebooting certain ones that are older, or aren't as beloved, like The Jungle Book, is ok, but The Lion King is too immortal. Will I go see it? Abso-freaking-lutely, but I'm not terribly excited for it, or expecting anything mind-blowing. I hope to be proven wrong, though!
shareNope. I reckon it will stay in the 7 score region. People will like it, for sure, but top 250? Not a chance in hell, the original is too beloved. IMDb scores arn't gospel, anyway.
Interestingly, The Jungle Book (2016) has a 7.6 score on IMDb, as does the original 1967 version.

The original 1994 movie wasn't even on the top 250 for quite a long time. I doubt the remake will be nearly as good.
shareWhat if it gets a Best Picture nomination? I think that would be cool. Sad that the 1967 version of The Jungle Book didn't get a Best Picture nod despite Gregory Peck's assertion. Even the version of the Lion King we all know and love and The Little Mermaid deserved Best Picture nods just as much as Beauty and the Beast. That is my 2 cents.

Absolutely not.

Are you trolling? It's not hating; it's just extremely doubtful that IMDb voters will never rank a CGI remake of a Disney animated film higher than The Shawshank Redemption.
Recent acclaimed animated/CGI films seem to garner a rating of 8.1-8.3 while The Jungle Book (2016) seems to have settled on a rating of 7.5 so there's hardly no chance it will become #1 on IMDb's top 250.
