Look at the reaction to A Minecraft movies trailer, I’m reminded of other highly criticized CGI-heavy movies that came before it.

Although A Minecraft movie is quite different from The Lion KingBoth films have to adapt an existing animation style – whether in the form of a video game or another film. The adaptation process is bound to disappoint many viewers, and unfortunately, A Minecraft movie has already caused backlash pre-release.
