I just can't wait to... watch the original again

Rating: 7/10 (20 July 2019)

Don't get me wrong - visually it's an absolute feast for the eyes. It's like a wildlife documentary, parts of this movie look real. Undoubtedly an absolute triumph for Disney in the special effects department.
However - unlike the Beauty and The Beast remake, and the Mary Poppins sequel - this left me feeling rather flat. There's something missing: I didn't FEEL the emotion from the characters. The songs are sung well but lacked the spark of the original.
Definitely worth a watch. But I wasn't blown away.
