Loved the original, loved the remake!

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2019)

I don't care what anyone says. It's a difficult task to remake a classic. I'm obsessed with the original and play. Evokes so much emotion every time I watch it. I had high, high expectations and loved it. Sure there were things I missed about the original (Nathan Lane as Timon! And Rafiki's iconic humor) but the story is so powerful and transcends time. James Earl Jones as Mufasa gives me chills every time. I loved it.
