Watching this film nearly soiled my memories of what I think is one of the best Disney films around. This piece of garbage ruined most of what made the original Lion King great; the cast defecated on the songs and turned them into some kind of modern r&b pop garbage and in an effort to add 'realism' they basically removed every humoristic scene from the film. The voice acting was awful and just added to an already expressionless experience caused the utterly unnecessary need for realism.

This scene-for-scene replica even managed to shorten or remove scenes that were epic in the original; what happened to 'asante sana, squash banana'?

P.s. Jeremy Irons should've done Scar's voice.
