Soundtrack of Jon Favreau's remake with Donald Glover sticks to books

[ad_1]

Disney has a lot of experience in transforming animation into real action, but he rarely tinkers with the songs of the original productions. The recently published The Lion King (2019) soundtrack is an example. All the songs that Jon Favreau's remake shares with the animated clbadic of 1994 have new voices, but nowhere has the arrangement or mood of Elton John's original tunes been changed.

This shows Disney's belief that the music of their animated clbadics will lose its ability to seduce the audience if it is redesigned to meet contemporary tastes.

While the animated originals of Disney were musicals with at least half a dozen melodies, the studio deleted the songs in their remakes of scenes of live action until recently.

Favreau The Book of the Jungle (2016) was Disney's first live action remake featuring songs. The film retained three songs from the original 1967 and got rid of three others. Those who did not do so were because the story itself had been modified in this way.

The elephants of the original film are comical and sing The March of Colonel Hathi but this is not the case for the solemn ceremony and majestic elephants in the film of Favreau. The vultures also disappeared from the remake, as was their song That's what friends serve .

The 1967 production ends with My Own Home, sung by a village girl who drives Mowgli to a place of residence far from the animals. The 2016 film ends with sticky Mowgli with the animals, and so there is no closing song.
