Not just “more realistic” (which I interpret as a general preference of art style, which yes, I’d agree is subjectively better) but I also like some of the other changes,
I do prefer the original “Be Prepared” but I like Smith’s “Friend Like Me” better, as an example. I do slightly prefer Williams’ bombastic Genie in the character portrayal, but not that song.
To me, art direction is the missing piece in both those songs, in opposite direction.
Because more realistic = better? They also don’t really talk, but that wouldn’t be an enjoyable movie would it?
