Of all the Disney live-action remakes, 2020’s Mulan had the worst luck. ![]() But beyond that, The Lion King doesn’t even contain half of the magic of its original there’s something almost lifeless about the film and its CGI-heavy imagery, and at its worst, it feels, well, pointless. Besides the big-budget animation and realistic cats, the biggest win in Favreau’s The Lion King is the upgraded voice cast: With Donald Glover, Beyoncé, and Chiwetel Ejiofor all voicing lions of the African savannah, there’s a considerate effort to follow the Broadway adaptation and emphasize predominantly Black performers. Jon Favreau’s The Lion King is perhaps impressive on a technical level his CGI-aided remake of The Jungle Book offered a new way of rooting beloved stories in a more concrete, realistic fashion, and it makes sense that Disney would want him to recreate this strategy with an even more precious story. One of Disney’s finest Renaissance creations was 1994’s The Lion King, and in 2019, they released a photorealistic version of the same animated film. ![]() ![]() ![]() Blume took the taboo - birth control, puberty, bullying, divorce - and made it mainstream. ![]() ![]() And she pours that empathy and that memory onto the page in a way that really resonates with kids."

Outside, the day may be blue and gold, but the light that creeps down through the thickly-muffled glass of the small iron-barred window beneath which one sits is grey and niggard. The very sun and moon seem taken from us. Of seed-time or harvest, of the reapers bending over the corn, or the grape gatherers threading through the vines, of the grass in the orchard made white with broken blossoms or strewn with fallen fruit: of these we know nothing and can know nothing.įor us there is only one season, the season of sorrow. The paralysing immobility of a life every circumstance of which is regulated after an unchangeable pattern, so that we eat and drink and lie down and pray, or kneel at least for prayer, according to the inflexible laws of an iron formula: this immobile quality, that makes each dreadful day in the very minutest detail like its brother, seems to communicate itself to those external forces the very essence of whose existence is ceaseless change. It seems to circle round one centre of pain. We can only record its moods, and chronicle their return. ![]() ![]() ![]() Dogs no, shells yes?

They don’t want to elevate all black voices, but only those who subscribe to the creed of Critical Race Theory. The elites of our society urge us to “elevate black voices,” but it is important to understand what they mean. Nobody is trying to avoid talking about race, but many are trying to control what is said. But Americans have been talking about race since at least the 1860s. One dogma of this new religion is that America “needs to have a conversation” about race. If I bring up faith in Jesus Christ, the guardians of the secular public square are quick to inform me that my religion is strictly a private matter.īut these days I’m stifled not because of the religion I practice but because of one I reject: the religion of antiracism, which is now the established church of academia, government, the media and business. ‘Little Mermaid’ slammed by black activist for ‘erasing’ slaveryĪs a Christian minister, I’m used to being stifled when I talk about my religion outside of church. ![]() ![]() LA lawless: ‘Woke’ firm partners routinely referred to women as ‘c–ts,’ ‘sugar t-ts’ Albany Dems likely to create commission to study possible reparations for black New YorkersĬo-founders of ‘compassionate’ LA law firm resign after vile, sexist emails exposed by The Post ![]() ![]() ![]() Salomon, Peter Adam – Eight Minutes, Thirty-Two Seconds (PseudoPsalms Press).Marshall, Kate Alice – Rules for Vanishing (Viking Books for Young Readers).Gardner, Liana – Speak No Evil (Vesuvian Books).Dávila Cardinal, Ann – Five Midnights (Tor Teen).Bérubé, Amelinda – Here There Are Monsters (Sourcebooks Fire). ![]() Ganadora: Nzondi – Oware Mosaic (Omnium Gatherum)
