Breathtaking CGI in a direct copy of the original film, lacking a purpose.

Rating: 5/10 (17 July 2019)

With some of the greatest CGI ever witnessed, the film is faithful to its source material, probably not to upset fans of the beloved film. The animals look so realistic, they actually lack emotions, but what the film truly lacks is a purpose. Favreau's "The Lion King" leaves you with one question. Why does it exist?
