Not an original story, but a visually stunning original

Rating: 9/10 (20 July 2019)

I was 9 when the original was produced. The Lion King is THE movie of my childhood. Like everything from childhood, you're likely not going to feel everything with the same intensity or wonderment as a 9 year old. The script is 98% the original so you will spend too much time focusing on how the lines are delivered slightly different. Know that going in, and try your best to shake yourself into watching with a fresh mind.
Yes, I felt a lot of the lines aren't delivered as well as the voice actors of original. The voice stars of this rendition are hands down Seth Rogan and Billy Eichner.
Once you shake yourself out of that, you'll stop and see the beauty of the visuals they presented in this rendition. It. Is. Stunning. You will want to boop all the animals noses. You'll feel like you're being guided through a gorgeous safari being narrated with one of the greatest most meaningful storylines of all time by today's A list stars.
This rendition brings home the circle of life in a deeper way on screen, and especially when you look around as an adult and see all the children that are seeing it now with the same imagination and wonderment you had 25 years ago.
