The other reviews claiming that it has no soul or heart. Those reviews are spot on.

The movie isn't inherently bad. It's practically an almost identical movie to its animated original. The movie also looks amazing! Most of the time you can see the obvious animation. This one is so animated that it could pass for live action.

This is a definitely taste of the future. Kid's cartoons will be this.

Back to the no soul. It's amazing how the voice actors for the animated version are better than these voice actors. Half of the time it was like these voice actors were just reading their lines... no emotion. No heart. No anything.

Some of my favorite parts of the original were definitely ruined and didn't have as much umph.

One other plus side... it was nice to finally see John Oliver as Zazu. In this situation, the role chose the person.
