Good movie, it's hard to live up to a classic animated movie

Rating: 7/10 (20 July 2019)

Oh how far the CGI has come. There are some scenes which you expect David Attenborough's narration to come through, "Here in the deepest part of..."
The CGI is really spectacular on many of the eyes of the characters for example on Rafiki's baboon close up's those eyes are so detailed and expressive it was just incredible to see. Some of the lion's expressions were less so which was a bit of a let down. Felt as if they could have gone a bit more facially cognizant to present more feeling.
Once again, Pumbaa and Timon do some great scenes and just make you crack a smile. Glover was great, Beyonce did a good job but hearing James Earl Jones once more as Mufasa is the true deal. There was a bit cheer in the beginning of the movie and another one at the end so the folks enjoyed it (yes, there were some crying children in between scenes but it's a Disney movie).
