David Stephan, one of the animators who worked on the iconic sequence of 'The Endless Cycle' and on the design of the hyenas states the following: "If you probe to the original film team, most will tell you: 'Why? You really had to do that? It's a little painful. " Stephan disapproves of the hyper-realistic version of the characters in the new version, because, according to him, the story has less impact. "It would take me out of the movie, literally. Especially with little Simba walking around. And when I spoke, it would remind me of those old movies about nature in which the voices were folded over and the lips moved. I thought: 'I am is very poor...".
But not all animators of the 90's version nest against. Dave Bossert, who worked on the visual effects of the original, believes that the remake is a great tribute to the history of animation. "Visually it is amazing ... In some cases, it is a flat copy by the plane of the original film and that does not bother me because I think the filmmakers were faithful to the original material. Without a doubt, loyalty to the original makes it dear to the audience ".
