Lion King, The

I LOVE this new version of The Lion King and think it’s the best of the Disney remakes so far. I was 8 when the original came out, so naturally it became one of my favorite movies. I now have a daughter and am pleased that a version meant for her generation exists. Much of the newer version is a shot-for-shot remake of the original with new voices and animation, but what makes the new movie stand out is the animators’ beautiful and painstaking dedication to accurately rendering the mannerisms and movements of real life animals while imbuing them with human emotion. What you get here is far better than what we got from Jon Favreau’s Jungle Book, in my opinion. While I was not a fan of that film, I find the mix of both animal cues and subtle human expression to be very well-done in this one. The landscape is also beautifully done, and there are many breathtaking shots. My only qualm would be that the pacing in the beginning is too fast, but it eventually evens out. Also, the final battle and end scene blow the original away. On another note, I would like to add that while I really enjoy Elton John, I think his disapproval of the remake’s music is sour grapes and is quite unfair. Perhaps he was expecting the same attention he got for the original, but the songs were just as well done as before in my opinion, with Chiwetel Ejiofor doing a particularly excellent job on an abridged version of “Be Prepared” and Beyoncé completely redefining and owning “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” as well as contributing a new and quite uplifting classic with “Spirit.” The overall soundtrack relies much more on African and African American musicians and songwriters, and, to be honest, I find it more authentic to the setting than Elton John’s music and have been listening to it on repeat since before I even saw the movie. I highly recommend this movie, with the suggestion that you watch the animals for both human and animal behavioral cues.

It was good.

Great movie I watched with my grandkids and great grandkids.

やはり「ジャングル大帝」のぱくりでは？ しかし人間の発想することがたまたま似ることだってある。あまり剽窃行為のあるなしにこだわって映画を見ると本質を見逃す。

La imagen es fantástica !!!!la verdad disfrutar este clásico con esa calidad es muy buena experiencia y más cuando te das cuenta que hasta tu hijo le encantó!!!!la recomiendo mucho!!!!

Picture quality and movie fantastic 👏

Una de las mejores live action que ha hecho Disney de sus caricaturas, que apesar de que se ve como documental, nos hace recordar mucho la csrituta original

画像がきれい。ディズニーの特徴かな 内容はやや難しいかも
