    I watched both, liked both. I don’t think it’s that deep. It was just The Lion King with new voices and new visuals.

    What do people generally dislike about it? Just that it’s a remake of a film?

      It’s a remake of the film but with less emotion and far less fun.

      Making it photorealistic and trying to limit yourself to real film techniques limits things heavily and meant that you couldn’t show the same emotions on all of the characters that you could before.

      I also firmly believe that replacing Rowan Atkinson was the worst decision Disney had made since hiring Jake Paul.
