Haters gonna hate

Rating: 9/10 (31 July 2019)

I am sooo happy we came to see this! I kept hearing from my friend that read reviews that "it was the exact same as the cartoon and blah blah blah it is going to be bad" and there was no point in seeing it. But I was stubborn and made her come watch it with me. They kept to the iconic storyline but they had little things to flesh out the story and make things more believable. I loved the new sound track and how they did the movements and transitions to bring the dancing to mind without making the animals behave out of character. The little quips and side monologue were awesome. The only thing I can say bothered me a couple times were the facial expressions. They needed a bit more emotion, I know that isn't indicative of real lions but neither are talking and singing, so there! I really loved this and recommend everyone to ignore the haters and go see it!
