Critics schmitics

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2019)

I wasn't interested in watching this movie, but my parents were, so we went. I'm so glad. The animation is beautifully done - you know it's animation but you forget it's animation. It's the classic story of good vs. evil and deception, and of friendship and family. Plus, John Oliver is a quirky royal bird, Darth Vader is back (hail the irreplaceable James Earl Jones) and Seth Rogen is a plump warthog (warthog?). Just go; don't be deceived by the critics like young Simba was by Scar.
