It's not meant to top or replace the original

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2019)

One of the main criticisms I keep seeing about these live action remakes are that they won't top the originals. This movie isn't meant to replace or be better than the original but be a celebration of the story we love and view it in a new light.
Lion King played a major role in my childhood and from the moment circle of life started I was in tears reliving the nostalgic feeling of what I grew up with.
The visuals were phenomenal and I am someone who LOVES how photo realistic they decided to make this remake. I enjoyed the new elements they added with Nala's character and the voice cast really does a great job as a whole. It's easily one of my favorite of these Disney remakes alongside Cinderella and Aladdin.
