I loved the original lion king. This one is EXACTLY the same. But not as good because the animation added to the songs and the pace of the movie. This one felt slow and didn't add to the story line at all. They just recreated the same scenes and Beyonce was not helpful to the storyline. It literally seemed like she was actually the same character as she was in dream girls, HERSELF. Very distracting. The spirit song in the movie was random and oddly edited. Why not just do a whole new sound track if that's the case. Also be prepared was my favorite song, why was he just speaking the words!? Certain scenes were exact and others they took out. I don't understand..... Why!? Either do a fresh new lion king or just leave the original as it was.
