When Disney announced that they were going to do Mufasa: The Lion King, audiences were particularly not excited about the idea of a prequel. While the 2019 Lion King adaptation was a big hit at the box office, fans of the original animated classic were not happy with the photorealistic approach of the animals and how it took them out of the emotionality of the story.

When Barry Jenkins came in to direct Mufasa: The Lion King, there were hopes that the project might be great as the director has won an Oscar for 2016’s Moonlight. However, with the release of the first teaser trailer, fans continued to feel the same ‘soulless’ vibe of the 2019 adaptation, despite Jenkins saying otherwise.

It’s been 8 years since fans have been asking for a new installment in the Kung Fu Panda franchise, and their requests were eventually met, with the fourth film now being weeks away from its debut. And following the standard maintained by the past three entries, fans are reasonably hyped to see what the studio has in store for them, which, not long ago, delivered Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
However, the early reviews for the Jack Black-led movie have had fans worried, as it appears, Kung Fu Panda 4 might not surpass the bar set by its predecessors.

After DreamWorks hit the ball out of the park with Kung Fu Panda, they went even harder with the sequel, especially with Gary Oldman’s Lord Shen, arguably the best villain in the entire franchise.

Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender is nowhere near the quality of the original animated series. It has to suffice with the review that it is a better version than M. Night Shyamalan’s 2010 film. It is not a win for the series since The Last Airbender 2010 had a Rotten Tomatoes score of 5% from the critics. The only exciting news for the disappointed fans is the upcoming animated movie that will continue the Airbender’s story from the Nickelodeon series.
Netflix’s live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender
Avatar: The Last Airbender on Nickelodeon followed the story of Aang, Katara, Sokka, Zuko, and Toph and ran for a total of 61 episodes, spanning three ‘Books’. The show which ran from February 2005 to July 2008 was a ratings success, but many felt that the series still needed to answer some questions.
