Did the producers record the actors reading the script out loud for the first time ever, then decide they were good with that? Because that's what it felt like. I didn't get any of that raw emotion from the CGI animated faces of the animals, which I expected and made peace with... but to also not get full emotion through the voices of the characters was disappointing. It just fell flat for me. Even James Earl Jones' voicing was lackluster (and yes, I feel guilty even saying that given how amazing he is, but it's the truth). Visually stunning. Can't deny that. Score was amazing too. Still, it was about half as magical as the original. I kinda liked it, but I don't need to see it again.
