Up to a point I was happy enough to give my hard earned cash to Disney for entertaining my kids. Not after this one.

This was a soulless dud, ruined by a lack of emotion, ridiculously poor voice acting and almost complete absence of humour. I ended up walking out and having a coffee while the kids finished watching the movie. And what was their reaction at the end? Both have seen the original one many times, and both thought the new one was boring, and the jokes weren't even funny. Think about it. Lion King - BORING. Thanks Disney, and thanks Jon Favreau.

So, going forward, this family won't be spending a cent on any live action remakes by Disney. And I suggest neither does yours.
