The character Timon was ruined

Rating: 3/10 (2 December 2019)

I don't usually write reviews but felt compelled after watching this movie. I loved the original animated. I was open to this remake and was impressed by the graphics even though the character portrayal lacked something. However, when Timon arrived I was immediately repulsed as they had taken a beloved character and trampled it underfoot with a re-imagining of him turning him into a prancing idiot nothingness. Every other character was treated with respect and kept primarily true to the original, yet with Timon they diverged from the original to such as an extent to make him unrecognizable in a bad way. All that I loved about the original Timon was gone and replaced by something ridiculous.
