The Lion King (2019)

Pros:
•The animation is absolutely gorgeous. It all looks so real I felt like I was watching one of those nature documentaries. Major props to the animation department. 
•Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner were hilarious as Timon and Pumbaa. Honestly they were the only actors who were even trying. 

Cons:
•Lifeless. That’s the best word to sum up this movie. It was just going through the motions with as little effort possible. I felt nothing watching this. The original is in my top 5 favorite Disney movies. To this day I cry every time I watch Mufasa’s death scene. In this new one I didn’t even shed a tear. 
•This version of Be Prepared.... WHAT THE FUCK!!! 
•Aside from scenes being extended and some slight changes to the dialogue, this really is a shot for shot remake. You’re honestly better off staying some watching the original. The only reason I would suggest seeing this in theaters is the animators did such an amazing job and their work deserves to be scene on the big screen. I would’ve given the movie a MUCH lower rating if it weren’t for them. 
•I’m not mad about this or anything. Just disappointed. 
•What’s sad is that for some kids this will be their first introduction to The Lion King. Those parents have failed miserably if that’s the case. 

My Rating: 6/10
