It's unfortunate

Rating: 5/10 (7 March 2020)

This movie looked amazing, the CGI is the best I've ever seen.
Herein lies the problem. Because they looked like real lions and animals, the voices felt disconnected. Add to that the lack of emotion an animal shows and you've got not much else. The main music was great, Hanz Zimmer is a master. But the songs didn't work. There was no fun in them, I get they where trying to make it realistic and therefor giraffes and hippos building a pyramid would be far fetched, but you notice when it's not there. Also, Beyoncé, bad choice, she over sings everything.
The new song she sings is forgettable and made me wonder why they bothered.
The only decent part was Timon and Pumbaa.
And what happened to Ed?
It feels like they sat down and said, which of the best characters and voice actors can we remove or replace.
Too many in my opinion.
