Children of the 90s will be disappointed

Rating: 7/10 (20 July 2019)

I have vivid memories of myself as an 11yo seeing the original in the cinema and i instantaneously fell in love with the music, the comedy and I connected emotionally with the story that will always amaze me.
Fast forward to when I was 30yo and saw it on stage. The music and the emotion and grandeur made me sit in awe and tears rolled down my face.
Sitting down yesterday at the cinemas to watch my most anticipated remake movie of my life. The music and the story line carried my emotions. However the lack of emotions in the Prides faces made me feel like i was in the recording studio not a cinematic movie theater.
Seth rogan and Billy Eichner saved the film on many levels, comedy and projected emotion.
I love the lion king and that's why I've given it a 7 As thankfully Jon Favreau didn't change or add anything. But it saddens me that this remake of the lion king will be attracting a whole new generation of children that won't connect with it as we the kids of the early 90s did the original
