Short spoiler free movie review
Mufasa
Yeah ok, by now most of you know I am a TLK superfan. The original film is one of my all time favorite movies.
And I absolutely loved this!
Yeah, ok I was a bit nitpicky about the cgi remake, but this is a work of beauty!
Simba's daughter Kiara is told the story of how her grandfather became king of Pride Rock.
The cg this time around was fantastic, and I dug the story. Hans Zimmer's original score still moves me to tears.
I already guessed how something would play out based on something that is in the Broadway musical (though I consider the play, the original hand drawn film, and the new cg ones separate continuities), but I'm going to keep this spoiler free.
I just wish they would use "He Lives In You" as a big musical number, and I thought it was a wasted opportunity in the first cg movie, but ok. Maybe if they do a Lion King 2: Simba's Pride cg remake they can use it there, along with "Upendi"
9/10
