Incredible on all levels

Rating: 8/10 (24 November 2019)

I'm an old school guy. I grew up with hand drawn animation and loved the original Lion King. I was a little hesitant with this remake but not anymore. This is a full CG movie and it will blow you away. It closely follows the original with some small deviations that were necessary and propels it from just a kiddie movie to something incredible. No it doesn't have the cartoon comedy or the cuteness of the original but it honors the heart of the original classic with a modern take using amazing technology. Yes it is still funny, has the same story and music. This remake was simply beautiful from start to finish. Quit trying to compare it to the original animation and enjoy it for what it is, a very well done remake. This is the future of animation, sit back and enjoy it.
