A brilliant film

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2019)

I was worried originally, because Lion King was my favorite movie as a kid and original reviews were bad. I saw it and I fell in love with the movie all over. I cannot say which version I prefer, because I think they both create a different journey through the same story. The graphics look amazing, they were more true to the animal movements and interactions. The biggest complaint I have heard is the lack of emotions. Yes, it's not a cartoon, but just watch the body movements and the emotions are there. To me it is similar to saying your dog or cat has no emotions, just look at the body language. Some characters have changed slightly, but I enjoy the new portrayal. It keeps a nostalgic feel while giving the Lion King a new twist. I would honestly enjoy if they did Lion King 1 1/2 and 2.
