I really REALLY wanted to love it

Rating: 6/10 (19 July 2019)

Ok, the animation was incredible. The casting was spot on. The music was gorgeous as always! But the reason I can't give this more than 6 stars is because it was literally the animated version FRAME FOR FRAME. I was hoping and PRAYING that Disney would do this the way they did Jungle Book where it's still jungle book but significantly different in its own way because that was a slam dunk! But this... they really fell short. There were 1 or 2 good new jokes in there and I give them credit for that, but I wish they had invested as much energy into giving this a little bit more originality like they did with Jungle Book. Like I said, I really wanted to like it but I'm disappointed :(
