Also interesting that Disney has THREE live action movie, based on their animation feature in 2019, namely

Dumbo (2019)
Aladdin (2019)
Lion King (2019)

Zero in 2018....

I supposed that need the mulah after all the expensive purchases (Marvel, Lucasarts and now 21st Century Fox)....

Another note is that The Lion King (1994) was their "b sides" (older music lovers will understand what I mean) project. All their major talents were put to work on their "a side" project, namely Pocahontas (1995).

Lion King (2019)

Gosh, this is tough for me to write.

I spent lavishly on myself today.

I got myself an Imax 3D ticket to watch this.

Imagely speaking it is spectacular.

Right down to the hair of Simba's chinny chin chin!

Apart from the spectacular imagery, the movie is rather.... Meh!

Seriously, the movie is meh...

When the animation feature was product, the B team was put to work on it?

Why you may ask?

Because A Team was working on their big animation movie Pochahantus....

Lion King shone, because B Team wanted to show the world, what they can do.

This version, from a storyline point of view, had absolutely nothing new to say

Nothing!

So.... Is this an example of remake for the sake of remaking?

Really disappointed by this...
