An updated version of a Disney classic

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2019)

25 years after the original was released, Disney has introduced The Lion King to a new generation. This is a movie that needs to be seen on the biggest screen possible , in order to be able to appreciate the mindblowing VFX, which are some of the best ever put on screen. The new cast does a good job at portraying the classic characters and givning them a fresh feel. The music segments of the movie worked really well, the same can be said about the animals facial expressions, which had many concerned that they would look "emotionless" due to the realistic direction, thankfully this is not the case and the animals emotions work very well. Overall this is a movie that sticks very close to the source material but makes it feel new and fresh thanks to incredible VFX, a new cast and extensions/alterations of certain scenes.
