Ignore reviews and go experience it for yourself

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2019)

Jon favreau made this film to bring honour to the original. Although some argue it's unnecessary it's is a stunning tribute shown in a new light. Let's be honest the day and age is changing and cgi is the new cartoon animation. This film gives children of this day and age to experience it in a way they are now accustomed too. The way pumba and Timone hint towards how people clap when they say Hakuna matata and how timone doesn't stop pumba from saying fart is and direct reference to the original. The cgi alone deserves a 10/10. The casting couldn't be more perfect as well as the singing. The amazing team behind the film should be incredibly proud.
All I would say is ignore the negative reviews because at the end of the day you don't need facial expressions to show emotion. The emotion is told through the voice, eyes and actions of the characters and I 100% felt emotion from them. Yes it isn't the original and to be honest it will never be because that's the original source material we grew up with like how before cartoons of fairytales cake put people preferred the books. Take it as you will but the negative reviews should be non existent from this masterpiece but you can't please everyone.
