The Lion King (2019)

It was such a delight to see this classic come back to life on the big screen after 1994, using technology to its fullest to give us a vivid viewing experience.

Directed by Jon Favreau, it is a photorealistic computer animated musical film which has altered certain characters and retained the famed James Earl Jones as Mufasa for this retelling.

I enjoyed the complex graphics and glimpses from the original, while giving us the details and landscapes which make it real beyond belief. The music stirs the nostalgia while adding its own contemporary flavour.

The overall effect was heartwarming and enjoyable, an offering for the current generation while reminding previous ones that a classic will always remain alive.

3.5/5
