Original was better, but this is a must see. Passing the torch

Rating: 7/10 (20 July 2019)

I was 19 when the original came out. Saw it many times and the Broadway play multiple times. When I say it's almost identical to the original it's Because it is. From start to close. A different scene here or there. Some will say this is a money grab. Of course. However, just as the beginning and the end of the movie is with the cub being raised( passing of torch), same can be said for this story. It's the parents passing On this wonderful story to their kids. The remake was necessary to keep today's kids interested with updated animation. If have kids and loved the original, this is a must see
