"I'm mixed on this. <br/>On one hand it did expand on the story a little and making Nala and Sarabi more bosses than they were in the animated version. Which I didn't think was possible cause they already were bamfs. <br/>Also kind of leading more on Hamlet cause how Scar was really pursing Sarabi. <br/><br/>On the other, it pretty much was a word from word rehatchment of the animated version. <br/>I was sitting here quoting lines before they come up damn it! Also I just wish they dived more into Simba's trauma which like the animated version only snatched the surface.. <br/><br/>Scar was still an asshole tho. <br/>Timon and Pamaa felt like they was barely there. <br/>Along with Rafiki and Zazu.<br/><br/>It needed more. <br/><br/>So if the movie is straight up like this, it's going to be mediocre.<br/><br/>Disney is doing all these damn remakes and not even trying to make them feel original and fresh from their animated counterpart( Expect from Cinderella)<br/><br/>So excuse me while I pull out the animated version and watch it. lol"
