Another Disney Classic Bites The Dust

Rating: 1/10 (15 October 2019)

I'm one of those adults whom still know the Original Lion King word for word. After reading all the reviews I at least didn't expect it to be angood movie, but how bad could it be. Bad enough that I started writing just after the death of Mufasa.
So what makes it so bad
Music
Not only do we have new interpretations of classic songs, that worked, bit some of the artist can't even pronounce the words properly.
No soul, no timing and no vocal ability
The Cast
Not a single cast member felt like the understood there part.
Scar did not sound scary,more like an old man like anything else, even Mufasa (James Earl Jones) sounded flat and unconvincing.
The Hyenas offered no comical relief with Ed being a major disappointment.
Simba and Nala young and old had no place in this movie.
Rafiki might aswell have been left out as he had lost his once wize ora
Timone and Pumba where the closest to acceptable, although not perfect
Plot
They took out so much of what worked in the original.
Joke about using Scar as a rug,replaced with something about a woodpecker
Joke about not knowing it was Simba the Hyenas attacked, removed
And so the classic gets watered down
Voices
Every single voice, ALL of them felt like they just read the script of a piece of paper and that's it,no soul, no heart no nothing
Mostvof the voice do not suit there caracter and NONE of them can sing
BUT,there is a way to enjoy this movie as it is breathtaking beautiful. Even if as a South African I did gringe about how these animals moved. Bit there is a way, just dub the original over the new one.
Not a single Disney remake has impressed with the exception of The Jungle Book(Perfect example of how to remake a movie). Although better than Beauty and the Beast,Emma Watson sank that ship, but what isn't.
