For the past two years, Disney remakes have been somewhat of a stain or bad joke in the movie industry, however this film does not contribute to that pile. I think the perfect remake incorporates what we know and love from the original movie, but also ensures you don't leave the cinema feeling as though you've not experienced anything new. This film gave me that satisfaction. On top of this, there have been a lot of comments saying 'the CGI is too realistic, and therefore you can't see the emotion on the animals face'. I mean come on! If they gave animals eyebrows and facial expressions, everyone would be complaining that it's not realistic enough! That aside, I think they nailed the casting, especially Seth Rogan and Billy Eichner who steal the show. This is a visual masterpiece, which is the biggest leap forward since Avatar.
