Left feeling flat

Rating: 7/10 (20 November 2019)

I adore the lion king. It was one of my favourite movies as a kid and put Africa on my bucket list.
However the songs that make the lion king so magical have been ruined, there isn't as much emotion or oomf behind the music or the lyrics. That was the amazing part of the lion king original movie.
Some songs or scenes arent included which is to be expected for a remake but characteristic musical songs like when Simba returns have been cut and replaced by an awful Beyonce song. This is disappointing.
The graphics are amazing, albeit there isn't much emotion in the facial expressions...difficult with CGI.
Overall, this just didn't feel like a dramatic film like the original lion king was. It's a shame.
I usually don't like Seth Rogan but he was great as Pumbaa (minus the mishap on crrrrazzzeee - shown in bonus features and real movie ha)
