Ugh!

Rating: 2/10 (13 December 2019)

I loved the original Lion King. I watched it so many times when my kids were young. The music, acting, and animation was just about perfect. Then, for some reason, someone thought to re-do this Disney Classic. How can you compare the voice acting of Alan Rickman as Skar, Robert Guillaume as Rafiki, Nathan Lane as Timon or Whoopi Goldberg as Shenzi, (a hyena)? I would venture to say that even James Earl Jones, reprising his role as Mufasa, cannot save this movie from its pretentiousness. I would strongly recommend parents buy the original 1994 The Lion King. Don't waste your money on BeyoncÃ©'s Nala, (and the lion king), hyped up version.
