OK, no substance. Care to debate where I'm wrong? Like "The Lion King" is not a flawless movie. Nala and Simba are really not that good of characters (Nala specifically is underdeveloped). Scar being an awful ruler debatably may have had everything to do with a long drought, where Simba just happened to come in at the very end of it.

You don't have any of these flaws in Beauty and the Beast and Pinocchio. Everything is very deliberate and all the characters are well written. As creepy as it was, Scar not trying to seduce Nala in the film (which I'm almost sure will be included in the remake) was a dumb scene to cut. You may say the abstract timeline from the original BatB, but when they cut it down to a week like in the live action version, it doesn't make any sense anymore. The plot makes much more sense if Belle and the Beast were bonding for months, Belle's father failed to find her, and Gaston waiting around boiling in rage for a while, which is implied.
