The lack of colour and drab, realism of this movie brought some of the more problematic themes in this movie to the forefront. Mufasa's attempt to justify why the lions have the divine right to rule over and eat their animal subjects is pure fascism.

These things were far less troubling in the more clearly fantastical setting of the original, but now it's impossible to ignore them.

Shame on everyone associated with this cash-grabbing remake.
