Felt like an Animal Planet documentary

Rating: 1/10 (26 July 2019)

The movie just wasn't able to express the same emotions as the animated one. It just felt like watching an Animal Planet documentary with good cinematography. With Jungle Book, having a human as a frame of reference helped with the emotions expressed by the animals but obviously Lion King doesn't have the reference. Disney should have left Lion King alone. At the end of the day, Jungle Book was still able to portray the emotions but Lion King failed to do it so I feel that Disney might have messed up on its part this time.
