Never have I cried this much to a movie in the cinema! Brought back so many memories from my childhood I used to play, rewind, repeat the original all the time to the point I drove my family mad heheh.
Lion King is my all time favourite movie ever made and this definitely did the original justice the CGI was stunning and breathtaking the voices were great and non of the characters disappoint.
I like how there was a slight change in certain characters but for this type of movie it worked as certain things in the original movie would not have worked with this modern and realistic look (not a cartoon) . I like they didn't foget certain things from the original movie which made it magical and emotional. Lots of tears, laughter and heartwarming moments.
No matter how many negative comments this will get it will not take away the feelings I have towards the film. People need to remember this is a completely new way of filming and is very different from The Jungle book they wanted to take it one step further and they did. Lions don't cry, smile or show human emotions, if you want that watch the original movie.
Loving the soundtrack as usual as well as new songs from Elton John, Lebo M and Beyonce. Hans Zimmer doesn't disappoint still makes me cry it sure hits you deep inside.
Special thank you to the legend Sir David Attenborough who helped and gave advice with the animal behaviour and movements to help create the film it definitely payed off. Loving nature programs of these animals makes you want to rub your eyes watching this as non of it is real it is that believable.
Will be seeing this multiple times!
Well done Jon Favreau and all the cast and crew you did an amazing job please do Lion King 2!
