My nightmares are made of this

Rating: 3/10 (23 July 2019)

A realistic lion cub sings a cheerful song and screams in pain with the same face. That's scarier than Pennywise.
There's a reason cartoon characters are anthropomorphic: those stories are actually about people. In this uncanny (and totally unnecessary) movie animals are so realistic, you keep asking yourself: why are they even speaking? Why are lions and warthogs dancing in something that looks totally like an animal documentary? What next? Kinky Boots on NatGeo?
Animation is great beyond belief. But who could have thought Disney would turn Simba and Nala into Chucky and his bride?..
