CGI is great with beautiful lighting and a very cute baby Simba. Sadly, the music was massively underwhelming with 'phoned in' vocals by 2 of R&B's reputedly finest vocalists Beyoncé and Childish Gambino. And why are the best moments of this PC 'child friendly' version - though spectacular sonically and visually - the most violent parts of the story? All of the poignant and hilarious moments of the original movie have been diluted and in some instances, surgically removed. Are the makers seriously catering to a new generation of kids that will suck up and feast on this modern way of telling stories? I had to see it once but hope to never see it again and look forward to crying and laughing at the original some day soon.
