Can photorealistic animals convey emotions?

Can photorealistic animals convey emotions?...This was the question I had in my mind when I went to watch The lion king .
The answer was a bag of mixed feelings.
Coming to the storyline there is nothing new .It's exact copy paste of Classic.They have aborted some scenes from older version ,why did they do that?
I hope there was little more to story.They could have told the same story in a different way without losing its soul.Each and every scene seems to be a copy paste.
But this time they are realistic.
The one problem with realistic animals is we will not understand the facial expressions .
I think that was okay for me .But when the emotions are less they should have added some more to story so they could have proved even without facial expressions story could be conveyed,because we all love animals.
For me the new version moved so quick.
But for me the reason for seeing the movie the CGI.
It's marvelous.The photorealistic animation seems so real that you will start noticing each and every details.Its massive ,minblowing.You start thinking how technology improved in these years.It will give you the same feel when you watched Avatar for the first time.You will forget everything and involved in this new imaginary realistic world.I do agree that there is nothing new with the storyline but movie is worth watching for its graphics.It feels fresh and new.
