Beautiful but lacking heart.

Rating: 6/10 (12 August 2019)

Visually stunning that's the most important thing to note here. It's true to the original without being a flat out copy. But it lacks heart somehow and I think that is mostly because the photorealistic way the animals are portrayed does not allow for the range of emotions an humor the original had. They tried to compensate and there were instances they succeeded like the Belle and the Beast scene that Timon did in place of the Hula scene in the original. But they didn't manage to make the hyena's as crazy and menacing.
On the whole it's beautiful and a joy to watch but still a bit disappointed because I hoped for more.
