Beautiful made but without a heart

Rating: Null/10 (24 July 2019)

I need to mention that I saw the original in my teenage years. I was so impressed by it at the time. It has been 15 years when I saw it for the last time. I had open expectations for the remake. But Disney failed big time. Although the movie is stunning at visuals, there is absolutely no heart or soul in this picture.
You can't mix the humor of the lion king with "real life" animals, it won't work.
The soundtrack is shallow, acts almost as a stranger. While it should be very familiar.
The voices don't seem right, I thought I was watching Optimus prime.
And seriously, did we need BeyoncÃ©. As a voice and for that spirit song?
And the biggest thing: where were the emotions in faces. Gone! Because animals don't have them visually for us. Cartoon animals do.
I rewatch the original lion king and I keep fat away from all those real life remakes.
