Great CGI, but missing the magic

Rating: 7/10 (23 July 2019)

The CGI is undoubtedly amazing, but for fans of the original you may be left a little dissapointed. The expressions even in tone of voice for some of the lines were lacking, the remake of for example "be prepared" song - very poor, it lacked the emotion and magic of the original in many scenes. Where other remakes have added new songs or deviated a little from the original story to add something unique, this was a little 'too' alike the original. I feel they may have done better doing an offshoot or Lion King 2. Fantastic effort, no doubt! Just missing that magic.
