The ultimate disappointment for a lifetime Lion King fan

Rating: 1/10 (28 March 2020)

Ok. I am 34 years old. I am not a big Disney fan in general (i.e. I liked Disney movies when I was a kid). I saw the Lion King in theaters when I was in third grade. It was one of my first CDs I purchased, the soundtrack. I loved it! Our school performed a brief version of it in a cute group performance. I really loved this movie. Moving on to years ahead....i was a little bit over the top excited when I watched the trailer. All of my expectations crumbled the moment the characters, MY favorite characters, opened their augmented mouths. The convo between Mufasa and Scar and Zazu was awkward. That's basically how I describe the whole movie. Whoever was designated as writer should never write again. The dialogue was so incredibly awkward from the moment Scar opened his mouth. If I could redo the entire movie, I feel, in my heartest of hearts, I could salvage it. But it's too late. This was the biggest disappointment I've ever watched. Wait. The Lady and the Tramp was worse. I stopped watching after about 20 minutes of that one. But given this was my favorite movie as a kid, it was the biggest disappointment.
