Good cast, very close to the original and astonishing animation

Rating: 10/10 (1 September 2019)

The best movie I have seen in the last years. I was very concerned if I will like the movie as I loved the original Disney animation. But it was really good.
First of all, the cast was great, loved the voices and acting (John Oliver as Zazu, Timon, Pumba, Simba, Nala, Scar, Mufasa - all great!).
It was very close to the original, which for me is important. The only improvement I see is the song of scar. It was too short.
Then, I felt all the emotions - which has been criticized a lot. From minute 10 I had tears in my eyes. Of course, it was also due to nostalgia but it was not the only reason. Here I disagree with a lot of people apparently. Besides being very sad the movie was also very funny due to the good acting of Timon and Pumba. So a lot of crying and laughing ;)
Song performance was much better than expected.
Finally, the animation was horrific. Wow! I am impressed and looking forward to more movies like this.
So as a big Disney originals lover I have to say I loved the movie!
