Absolutely Brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2019)

I've read a few of the other reviews and whilst I completely respect people's right to an opinion, I wonder whether we went to watch different films!
I'm a huge Lion King fan, I love the original, I love the stage show even more and this film is a great addition to the 'family'.
The CGI is unbelievable. You will find yourself throughout convinced that real animals were used. The film is funny, sad, tense, everything that the original was. I was very pleased to see the storyline remaining almost identical as it's not a plot that should be messed with.
If I was forced to find fault, then I would say some of the voicing could have been cast better. On occasion it felt very slightly rushed in some of the scripting, but this is probably more of a case of expecting it to be identical to the original, and any newbies to it wouldn't notice.
I would happily watch this again and again and again. I've seen a few of the Disney remakes and this is definitely the best one yet!
