Its just a shot for shot remake of the original film, but not as good. Sure the visuals are very impressive, but it loses the charm of the original. Due to having realistic animals the characters are expressionless. In the original, due to the animation style, the characters had a lot more emotion and depth than these blank models. Disney lately has been remaking lots of their old classics, which I hate, but this is the worse one yet. At least with the others they change the movie a little, this is just bad modern copy of the classic Lion King. They should have just replayed the original in the cinemas, would've been better than this.
