Very unnecessary reboot, but also very good.

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2020)

The Lion King is a classic that doesn't need messing with...but the result is very good anyhow. The scenery and animals look amazing, and the story remains much the same. The voice changes don't make a lot of difference aside from Timone and Pumba, which went a different direction but still worked out nicely. Because of the success of this, we are likely to see every animated movie upgraded...and that feels like a waste of time when it's nicer to see new original ideas...but is bound to make Disney a buttload of money anyway.
