Lion King upset

Rating: 5/10 (2 November 2019)

Ok, so I will preface this with the '94 version is my favorite Disney movie. I got goosebumps at the opening of this movie and I've seen 2 Broadway productions. I loved them all. The opening was awesome. But Scar is all wrong; it continues throughput the movie. I was so disappointed with Scar. They took the fun out of the Hyenas. It just Didn't work for me. The CGI is amazing, but they all (the animals) had no emotion. I wouldn't have minded that. But Be Prepared is a great song, and they ruined it. The Timon and Pumba stuff is funny and tolerable. I don't think the voice actors are bad, but not given any expression. That matters in a movie. It's hard to make me miss Cheech and Whoopie. This was not enough from my POV. I started my score at 9 and a 10 would mean you had to pleasantly surprise me. But the song fails, Scar being the absolute worst, and the Hyenas not being the least bit funny killed it for me.
