Groundbreaking CGI - a masterpiece!

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2019)

I don't get the panning disney lion king is getting - especially on YouTube. Personally I preferred it to the original cartoom and technically it's literally groundbreaking! No CGI before has come this close to reality. Breathtaking.
I get if it didn't give you the emotional buzz you got when you went with mommy, aged 3, but 1 star out of 10? 1? Really? Come on!
They say it's because the animal's faces don't show emotion. The animators deliberately worked within what was physically possible for real animals. The emotion is definitely there, but like a talented actor it's subtle and believable, blending realism within the fantasy of the story.
If you want your anthropomorphism to be higher up the human dial, go and watch Cats! Oh you don't like that because they look too human? How about stopping with the entitlement and respect a movie as the art that the makers intended rather than disliking it because you have totally missed the point!
