Review of The Lion King (2019) by Bilge Ebiri for New York Magazine (Vulture) — 11 Jul 2019
It doesn’t help that the characters in some cases have been rendered with such realism that they have lost all human expression on their faces. Maybe that’s the idea — to not anthropomorphize them too much and to stay grounded in zoological authenticity.
But they’re still talking, and singing, only now their faces are inexpressive; it’s a weird disconnect.
