Disney please stop ruining my childhood favorites

Rating: 2/10 (23 December 2019)

Where to start. The singing was hard to listen to. I get wanting to keep it authentic and not hiring professional singers but ouch. With the excpetion of Queen B (her acting was flat) the signing was hard to listen to. Was really bummed that the opening circle of life was not as powerfully sung as the original. "Be prepared"was creepy ( even more so then the original) which was probably the point. The acting was so emotionless. I just wanted to hear some emotion in their voices. When Mufasa dies you couldnt even tell it was upsetting.
The only emotions that hit are at the very end fight seen. And still its like they are reading off a script vs. Learning their lines and putting emotion into it. Just a Bummer since it was a great cast.
James Earl Jones coming back as Mufasa was great and of course Timon and Pumba were funny ( signing In the Jungle was a fun part of the movie).
Visually very well done but thats about it. Not worth the 7/10 rating on here.
My husband fell asleep and i had to remind my 7 year old to stop playing and watch the movie.
