An Outstanding Reimaging

Rating: 9/10 (13 August 2019)

The reminaging of The Lion King was extremely astounding and made people remember how incredible the original Lion King was.
The plot is the same thing as the original, since it is a remake/reimaging. But just to recap what Lion King is about, here's the plot:
The Lion King tells the story of a young lion, Simba (voiced by JD McCrary), who is the son of the king of the pride lands, Mufasa (voiced by James Earl Jones). Mufasa has a deliciously evil brother, Scar (voiced by Chiwetel Ejiofor) that later on sets up a stampede to kill Mufasa and Simba. However, Simba manages to escape. He meets a meerkat, Timon (voiced by Billy Eichner) and Pumbaa (voiced by Seth Rogen), and befriends them and grows up with them. Simba, now an adult (voiced by Donald Glover ) comes across an old friend, Nala (voiced by BeyoncÃ©) and she tells him that the pride lands are in danger from Scar and his hyena minions. Simba must return and defeat Scar once and for all.
The movie was fantastically redone. It looked so very realistic, and they did a great job on making the movie look very nicely made.
The voice cast did a wonderful job. I love how they got James Earl Jones back to voice Mufasa (because let's face it, no one can top his performance). All the new actors who voiced their respective characters were amazing.
The only minor issue I had with the film was Scar. Scar, in the original, was intimidating and deliciously evil. Here, Scar lacks those two things, and just seemed to be, more or less, just a jerk.
Other than that, The Lion King (2019) is one of the best films of this year and was made in such a beautiful and strong way and has the same heart and strength that made the original a classic.
