The Boring King with no emotion, how Disney ruined the greatest cartoon movie.

Rating: 1/10 (27 October 2019)

I have watched and read reviews online about The Lion King remake, when the Disney company announced a Lion King remake I wasn't as excited. I skipped going to see it in theaters and saw it on DVD.
First of all I did actually like the scenery and the realistic looking 3D animated animals, I did like the songs and "The Circle of Life" opening song, but I was disappointed when the "Be Prepared" song was altered and didn't feature "Can you feel the Love Tonight" in the credits, but the music was amazing. With that said I want want to share my rant about this cash grab film which let me down.
To the Disney company I remember back in 1994 when I seen this 2D animated movie in theaters and on VHS and DVD, I enjoyed it, I liked the color the visuals the facial expressions and special effects, I liked the cartoon characters, they were fun to watch and made me laugh.
Fast forward to 2019 remake and what happened, they made it a cash grab. What happened to the emotions? where's Rafiki's walking stick? Where's the amazing song "I just can't wait to be King" where the animals stand on each other? Why is "Be Prepared" with having Scar just talking? What happened to the volcano geysers blowing up? Why isn't the stampede epic like the cartoon? Why aren't Timon and Pumbaa dancing to the beat of "Hakuna Matata"? Or their dance song Hula song? Why is Can you feel the Love Tonight sung in the daytime? Why isn't the movie colorful? How come Elton John's song, Can you feel the Love Tonight is missing.
This movie remake is awful, the colors were dark and depressing, the movie bored me to tears, I was bored the entire time, this reminded me of "The Last Airbender" movie. I didn't like how the lions showed no emotion at all especially Scar. The movie was too slow at times and didn't spend enough time on Simba.
I'm very disappointed in the Disney animators, you have all of this amazing CGI technology and amazing looking birds, rodents, lions, other African animals and yet they show no emotion, just voice actors reading their scripts. This is very disappointing, they should've shown emotion like a CGI cartoon, take a look at the 2000 Disney movie "Dinosaur", you can still tell what they're feeling by looking at their faces. But in "The Lion King" 2019 you don't know what they're feeling. I can't believe people would go flock to the theaters to pay for this letdown CGI movie remake. This is soulless, dark and depressing along with the remakes of "Beauty and the Beast" 2017 (at least they had some emotion and a spectacular song "Be our Guest"), and "Dumbo" 2019 (Although the ringleader was the only character I liked). Disney should've made it more fun like "Cinderella" 2015 or "Aladdin" 2019, those movie remakes were the ones I actually enjoyed watching.
In the meantime I'm going back to watch the original 1994 2D cartoon which was memorable in every way. I will skip this boring remake and forget it ever existed and just get the soundtrack which is the only thing I liked about this film. Also I would rather watch a real nature documentary show about lions which is more interesting to watch than this boring movie. I would also watch "Kimba the White Lion" which is very funny to watch.
