Somewhat Lifeless

Rating: 6/10 (18 July 2019)

The Lion King is without a doubt one of the greatest animated films of all time ( if not THE greatest). It was already flawless, and so there was no reason whatsoever to remake it, especially if there is nothing new to be added to the story.
The visuals are breathtaking and unsurpassed, but the very realistic looking animals look rather awkward when they talk and show no emotion whatsoever, something that has been achieved exceptionally in 2D animation.
The voice cast in general is fine, but no one really stands out.
It is the same story exactly, but the magic is not there.
