Awful movie

Rating: 1/10 (1 November 2019)

I really wish Disney would stop making remakes of my most beloved Disney classics. This was underwhelming, flat and the soundtrack was ruined by lack lustre reworkings of wonderful songs. I am so disappointed. The animal lack any emotion, and aside from James earl Jones who delivers his lines in the same fantastic way the other actors are far too unknown to carry the weight of these great characters. the original still makes me cry everytime I see it, every time I have seen the stage show. This didn't even stir any emotion in me at all because you can't see the emotion on the faces of the animals. It feels like one of those bad 70s Disney animal documentaries that was on TV when I was a child. In a choice between the original and this one I will watch the original every time.
