Review of The Lion King (2019) by Renanwiser — 21 Jul 2019
The screenplay is exactly the same, they added 30 min, but there's not even one new scene incorporated to it. Scar was completely transformed in a unidimensional character with no depth at all, lacking all the personality layers he was build with in the original animation.
The songs were not improved and in some cases, as seen in Be Prepared, they were completely modified. The animation is unnecessarily too much real, making it hard for you to have any kind of empathy with the characters' emotional struggles.
The new song by Beyonce is completely lost in the screenplay when they could write a new scene giving protagonism to Nala with the new song.
