Don't Listen to all the Haters reviewing this!!!

Rating: 9/10 (31 July 2019)

I have watched the original hundreds of times with my children many years ago and still LOVE it. I have seen the play twice and LOVE it! This movie outdid itself, was very impressed by the new dialogue, and CGI of course, and also added more lessons I believe in being good people, perhaps some of those reviewers don't GET that part or aren't good people, just saying! I see a TON of movies and loved the remake of Dumbo but this one is way better! Disney has added the new lines which we need more of these days especially, to I believe, drive home the notion that we should be good global citizens, in every way! Don't want to give anything away but loved Timon and Pumba too, added much needed humour to some dark turns. I wouldn't recommend this movie for children too young, so parents beware, as parts are too scary/intense, show them the original first for sure. I think there are some people, those in charge of some countries and their family, no names though, who SHOULD see this movie, but they probably wouldn't get the message either, as some of the haters didn't!! The ONLY reason I didn't give this one a ten is because it's kind of weird sometimes to see very real looking animals start singing, but that was only for a few of the songs, and they couldn't not do that as the haters REALLY would have had a fit and some of the songs really add to the story/experience. All in all GREAT JOB DISNEY!!!
