Great, but minor details keeps it from a 10

Rating: 8/10 (17 July 2019)

It's a very good representation of what The Lion King is and what it's about. And I highly respect that. Now there were some minor details that were, not bad, just not that good. And the details were following:
Voice cast - nothing wrong with the voice actors. I think it's more like how they portrayed their character. It's not very memorable.
Songs - I do love the soundtrack if The Lion King. And in this they changed it a little. Again, it's not that something's wrong with the singers, songs and how the songs were written but again, morre about the way they were portrayed. It felt far-fetched, as if they were trying to achieve more with the singing.
Can You Feel The Love Tonight - now a lot of people agree with me when I say that the Can You Feel The Love Tonight scene in this movie did not do justice to the original scene. I was sad about this. And not necessarily because the scene was in broad daylight. But I felt like something was missing. I didn't get this nostalgic feeling.
BUT. Aside from these minor details, there were some great things about this movie.
The opening - ooooh how I LOVED the opening. So beautiful, so stunning and SO nostalgic. I got total goosebumps and I really loved it.
The fight scene between the hyenas and the lions - now THAT was something. It got me really pumped up and I loved how it was done. I think it conveyed a lot of Simba's determination, you know what I mean?
Timon & Pumba - not as great as in the original but how can you not love these two whether it's animation or live-action? I love these two and they were so humorous.
And more... - visuals, new scenes etc.
Watching this movie, I felt like a little kid again. Obviously, no movie is able to satisfy the likes of every single individual. I think you should give this a shot and determine for yourself whether this is to your liking or not.
