nostalgic Childhood Memories

Rating: 6/10 (29 July 2019)

This movie offers nothing new on the original and while the cinematic aspects of the movie are fantastic; the voice acting, singing and emotion was not there. I felt as if the voice actors failed to watch the original movie and experience the passion portrayed in the characters. I felt like the flat animated 1994 movie had more heart than this revamped movie. I didn't agree with the casting of many of the characters. It's as if Disney chose people are viewed as "popular" in today's' world instead of the best talent. Beyonce as Nala was a very poor choice especially when matching up with Donald glover's Vocals. Scar made me miss Jeremy Irons and Seth Rogan as Pumba was laughable and not in the HA HA kind of way. All in all it's still the Lion King and a good movie but you would be better served watching the original or maybe playing this movie on mute and matching up the old movie's soundtrack
