Breathtakingly beautiful and still with heart

Rating: 8/10 (21 July 2019)

I am kind of heartbroken to read some of the negative comments on here so felt.compelled to review. I don't know what people wanted~its meant to be a realistic remake, just like Aladdin, Cinderella etx. If it had been cartoonish, well, we have that. So we just need to go in, and cherish that the story and songs we have loved and grown up with have been reborn with insanely beautiful effects for the next generation. That said, all the wonderful songs and lines are still there (probably too scared to mess with the original!). I liked that the faces weren't insanely animated, it made it really seem like a jungle adventure. Can you feel the love tonight waa beautiful, like a dork I cried, I just wished this song with Beyonce's vocal talents had been longer. Just go in knowing its a remake with incredible effects and you'll enjoy. It is, after all, the circle of life :)
