Almost Perfect Live CG Adaptation

Rating: 9/10 (31 July 2019)

I was 10 years old when the original came out and remember going to the theater to watch it with my family. At that time it was very exciting to see the characters making jokes and showing their emotions but the cartoon version was very cartoony.
Now being an adult I see why Disney is re-releasing The Lion King as a live-action CG film. In my opinion they hit the CG spot on and made almost all the animals look very realistic. This aspect of the film was probably the best aspect. The emotional side and connection with the characters was a bit less then the original cartoon yet had an added depth because of the realisticness. They really did do a good job with making those hyenas look very nasty!
So if you're a fan of The Lion King and you watched it when you were a little kid or even as an adult I feel like you will enjoy this live-action CG version of The Lion King. It is essentially the same movie.
