Disapointing.

Rating: 2/10 (1 August 2019)

I came to it expecting a photo-realistic remake, shot for shot. Instead I was treated to fundamentally altered key scenes, down right neglect of key characters, pointlessly altered dialogues, and bland expressions.
!SPOILERS!
Rafiki is not even named once throughout the whole film, and the character is grossly underdeveloped in comparison to the 1994 animation. Even in the scenes where he partakes, he's bland-out. Also, he's moved to powder coating in his art style, cause liquid pigments are too mainstream in the savanna.
Scar in the scene where he kills Mufasa, instead shoving his nails deep in Mufasa's paws, grabbing them, and throwing him off the cliff in a visceral manner, as it is in the 1994 animation, he now slaps Mufasa and Mufasa fells on his own.
Sarabi after Simba's return is acting as the commander, able to give tactical commands as if it's a video game or something.
The volcanic activity in the Elephant Graveyard seems to have died out in the years passed since the original, finally...
And Timon became a weasel as far as dialogues go.
Conclusion? Re-watch the original. Lion King 2019 was a waste of time.
