My favorite Disney remake!

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2019)

The king rules!!! I was so looking forward to this movie as soon as the previews were released and, even with high expectations, I was not disappointed! Even my pre-teen son told me "This is really good" about 1/3 of the way through the movie and "I'm really enjoying this" at the 2/3s mark. I was blown-away by the animation. Gorgeous. I loved the funny parts. And I cried when Mufasa...oops, no spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen the original. And the changes were well done! I especially loved the nod to Beauty and the Beast. I've thought all the previous remakes so far have been ok, but The Lion King rules for me. Hands down! I can't wait to see this again and will definitely buy the DVD when it comes out (which is not soon enough)! Do yourself a favor and GO SEE IT! Great job, Jon and the Disney team!!!
