I thought this was very good, but it was missing something that only the original was able to give. Even after seeing the movie, I still don't think Beyonce was the best choice for Nala. I think I can agree with what many have said, this movie is lacking the emotional connection which caused some scenes to fall flat. The visuals are stunning and I loved the Beauty and the Beast reference, I'm happy the audience got it as well. Timon and Pumbaa, I think they were spot on. There are many laughs to be had.
James Earl Jones, THE KING!
I give this 7.2 out of 10.
Now, I'm ready for CATS, Mulan, and The Little Mermaid!
