Disappointing...

Rating: 1/10 (7 December 2019)

I'm a huge fan of Lion King. As a kid I would watch it over and over and even as a teenager and young adult I watch it every once and awhile. So while some groaned I was ecstatic when this was announced. However it did not hold up to expectations.
Don't get me wrong, it looks amazing. The cgi is superb and it's a beautiful film. I'm 100% okay with them changing up some dialogue and adding more stuff, I didn't want just a reskin. Where this movie bombs is either the choice of voice actors or their performances. Zazu was annoying in the extreme and what should have been the most emotional parts of the story were bland at best. There was no feeling in the voices and they sounded very monotone. Completely ruined what could've been a great film.
