Unemotional Event

Rating: 5/10 (21 July 2019)

It's very realistic as far as CGI...in fact, some kids in the theater were asking their parents how they got the animals to talk. Incredible on that account!
I loved the opening sequence and sequence and how true to the original it was...and didn't mind the lack of emotion on the animals
. I was completely dumbfounded by the complete rewriting of the song, "Be Prepared". Why???!?
And the gratuitous sing written just for Beyoncé to sell a song was awful. Very obvious they were showcasing the artist and not the sentiment of the show during the scene where Nala and Simla return to the Pridelands.
Beyonce's riffing on the classics was annoying as well.
Everyone and everything else was good, not amazing, but good. Beyoncé, however, was overpromoted and detracted rather than added to the movie.
