Review of The Lion King (2019) by Movieriffing — 19 Jul 2019
The Lion King (2019) perfectly encapsulates Disney's new wave of soulless remakes. A one-to-one retelling of the same story cannot escape comparisons to the original, and when the original outperforms the newer model in every way, what is the point? Abysmal voice-over performances, characters lacking any form of defining traits or emotion, and musical showpieces that forget to show anything plague the film.
No reality exists where someone chooses to watch The Lion King (2019) over the 1994 classic after this release window closes.
