This remake was too pathetic and cheap. I have to say, the artisty of using CGI was pretty darn good, but having pretty pictures and animation to almost lifelike characters and scenes wasnt enough to save this movie. The voice over of the animals made it seem more fake than anything, and seriously, this was an animated movie in 1994 there was really a lack of expression and character from start to finish. If disney is going to remake such an iconic movie such as The Lion King at least try and make it decent and not like a children's documentary movie with poorly talking animals and dull expressions. Nevertheless the story was more to the original Hamlet, which definitely shows disney takes the hard work of others and spins it off for their entertainment and financial benefit. So much for originality
