Non-Spoiler-Ish Review
So the movie is beautiful. But the compassion ... not so much
The main flaw of the movie was the songs executions and the color design throughout the movie.
Don't get me wrong, some songs are good and just simply iconic. Some however, just do not land for me like the "Can you feel the love tonight" song. It's more like afternoon love and not night :))).
To be precise, some songs felt cringy as the animation sequences and the songs seemed injected and forced.
Story-wise, it's the same as the 1994 animation version. No difference.
I would say that everything looks absolutely amazing! I cannot deny it. The technology to make this movie is stunning. I enjoy the feast on my eyes but not so much in my brain cause the 1994 version actually felt more authentic :).
I am so wierd. The Jungle Book is actually better for me. Maybe because iit has a human affection within the movie and Lion King does not.
Somewhat the same vibe with the modern Jungle Book movie. Same director after all
