Watch the original instead

Rating: 2/10 (20 July 2019)

Its not a horrible movie, but it copies something great and makes it not work. Anyone watching this before the original would probably not understand why the original lion king is so lauded. It just doesn't have the same emotional impact and it's so uninspired and seems like it was made by the most unimaginative people who for some reason care about logic. They should probably teach this just to show that realism doesn't make movies better. Jon Favreau and co should mail their checks to the original team for copying them shot for shot and line for line while ruining their great work.
