Not very emotional and a little too predictable, but still fun

Rating: 7/10 (26 August 2019)

It's unbelievable how realistic the animals and scenery appear, it's hard to believe that it's animated and not filmed. It's a shame that this made it so that the animals couldn't really show any emotion. I guess "real" looking animals and emotional stories just don't mix.
The voice acting wasn't very good. I never thought there was anything special about the voices in the original film, but they were better than most of these. It also seemed a little weird that so many of the lines were pretty much identical to the original, this undoubtedly makes the new voices seem even worse for those of us who remember the way they sounded before. I really think they should've rewritten most of the lines and made more new events. The movie does have some new scenes, I liked the scene where Nala flees the land, this was a nice addition. But most of the scenes are pretty much the same as the original. I think it would've been better if they had made more additions and changes, and perhaps some new songs.
I think it's really neat when animated movies are remade in live action form (or seemingly live action form in this case). But what worked in one form doesn't always work in the other.
