Another Disney money-grab

Rating: 1/10 (26 August 2019)

A pointless remake with none of the charm of the original.
Some of the darker and frightening scenes that were counter-balanced by comedy and songs were unbelievably sanitised.
Kids learnt about death and redemption, cowardice and valour and other good stuff in the original. Here, it's gone.
The scene where Scar snarls at Mufasa "Long Live The King!", and the shadow of his own death rolls across Mufasa's face, was one of the most dramatic animated scenes I've ever seen.
Here, the effect is nullified.
As for the lack of the Hula song and the Hyenas black humour, don't get me started.
