Well if they’re going to play with the medium, might as well keep the same creative head at the forefront.

I think Jon Favreau’s stiff ass Lion King scared them.

“I’m not interested in them,” he replied casually. “I haven’t seen many of them. They’re made by capable filmmakers and I don’t want to disparage any of the talent or the hard work that went into them, I just think that it’s lazy on the part of the studio.”

Earnest and articulate in his explanation, DeBlois elaborated his take on the issue.

“I think it’s easy to go back to something successful that a really talented team put a lot of years of hard work into and then redo it… but to me that is a missed opportunity to put something original into the world.”
