Just going to copy and past most of what I said in another thread:
I really liked this remake
I liked how this remake managed to be it's own thing.
I liked most of the changes.
Sarafina got another line! (and got to say an additional word).
Scar wanting Sarabi for his Queen makes much more sense than Scar wanting Nala. It is also handled way better than in any FanFiction I have ever read.
I like that Shenzi was established as The leader of her clan. I had always assumed she was before.
I really like how they expanded Zazu's role. I with impressed with him.
The realistic animation does not lend itself to expressing emotion.
Simba crying out for help when Mufasa dies, Simba's ascension to The Throne, and Can You Feel The Love Tonight (I
Ireally miss The Look) do not have the originals emotional impact.
I really would have liked for Nala's Father to be addressed in some way.
Sarafina's name was not mentioned in the movie...again.
They went to all the trouble of changing Banzai and Ed's names to Kamari and Azizi. Then they did not mention them by name in the movie
No hint of a sequel.
I protect Simba, his family, and his pride.
