What were they thinking?

Rating: 1/10 (21 July 2019)

Jeremy Irons isn't the voice of Scar, Rowan Atkinson isn't the voice of Zazu, Nathan Lane isn't the voice of Timon, & Ernie Sabella isn't the voice of Pumbaa. Unfortunately Robert Guillaume passed away so Disney had no choice but to replace the voice of Rafiki. The other 4 actors voices are too unique to have been replaced. I went in with an open mind and tried to like it but as soon as I hear Scar I couldn't help but dislike it right away. I will say that even though I prefer the original Pumbaa Seth Rogan did a nice job with the part. The CGI is great and they stuck to the original story line well enough that I didn't think it was ruined. But those iconic voices being replaced was to much for me. About half way through the movie all I wanted to do was leave and go home to watch the original.
