Let the complaining begin! Again!

Rating: 9/10 (23 February 2020)

Don't like live-action remakes? Then why do you watch them? Explain to me how this movie is horrible, when it's identical in almost every aspect to the original? Same story, same characters, same dialogue, same songs - they even got James Earl Jones to reprise his role. Everyone loves the original - it's iconic. So why is a visually stunning, breathtaking even, new version so terrible? People complained about the CG animals - but as talking, singing, animals go you'd be hard pressed to find more realistic ones. My only complaint with these is when they shoe-horn in new songs which sound very 2019, and nothing like the originals - it's somewhat jarring. But I still really enjoyed how incredibly well done this was.
