The Lion King ( 2019)

It was really good. Aladdin changed things, this sticks safely to the source material, like almost too safely. Jokes are changed, songs aren’t as powerful like Scars “Be prepared” and sadly “Hakuna Matata”. They’re good, but just can’t hold a candle to the original. Seeing it definitely makes you realize how amazing these Disney movies were throughout the early to mid 90s. Seth Rogen does an admirable job as Pumba and it was great to get James Earl Jones back as Mufasa, and yes, the Mufasa scene is as heartbreaking as you remember. I’d give it a solid 8/10, definitely worth the rental.

Jungle Book changed a lot and was really good.
