Didn't add anything the to the original seemed like something to make money out of. Especially because they only went for already famous people as the cast instead of people who are from the culture of where the movie is from, which is Southern Africa. Not to mention doesn't have the same effect as the cartoons who have more expression than these characters.

I'm a huge LK fan but I gave it a 3/5 it was okay but don't think l'd see it again. Maybe in another 10 years we'll get an animated one that most people want. it felt rushed to make the divide between Taka and Mufasa at the end and his switch up to just go to the other side, the side that killed his father, is crazy! It doesn't seem like the scar we know form the first one. I won't explain how it confused the timeline from the original movie. Most think the live actions are in a different world from the animation. But if it's all going the same franchise, why confused it all? How is Mufasa and orphan when we just don't know if his parents are alive? that was a big part in the marketing. But we never called Simba and orphan and we never know if Sarabi was alive. The first three songs are really good but it did have more elements of the original than I wanted it to I guess I was hoping for a little bit. Something different but Lin and Lebo did their thing as they always do Not to mention the whole premise of this movie is that we know what happens afterwards so it can be hard to really feel the danger scenes in the movie as a standalone when we know every major character is going to make it through just fine. But maybe it's not made for the people who think like this lol. I think it's just another in the lazy Disney writing era we are in.
