They went too far with photorealism

Rating: 6/10 (25 July 2019)

I liked watching this movie, but unfortunately they went too far with realism and photorealism. There's no need to be worried about it for a story like The Lion King. The characters need more emotional expression and, despite CGI is very impressive, the movie probably fell into the uncanny valley. I still prefer watching the 2D animation because it's much more convincing.
I have the feeling that some people (specially some influencers) deny the fact that the movie makes us a bit uncomfortable. Maybe the love for the original animation made people to accept this dissonance.
I watched the Brazilian version with dubbed voices and at least the voice actors of Timon and Pumba did a great job.
It's still worthy to watch this movie, but it could be better.
