The Lion King (2019)
A visually spectacular, if straightforward, remake that retains much of the original animated film’s charm.
A visually spectacular, if straightforward, remake that retains much of the original animated film’s charm.
A cheesy and politically-infused live-action remake of the magical 1992 classic that’s high on spectacle, yet short on actual magic.
Makes for a good time with the family, but it can’t outdo the animated original.
Has everything that made the 1991 animated version such a wonderful experience; already one of the year’s best.
A joyless and lifeless mess of a film with bizarre narrative choices and zero romance; watch any other version of the story.
Should be seen first and foremost for the sheer magic of its storytelling, which takes on a new kind of grandeur with 3D that is immersive rather than gimmicky.
Disney’s musical masterpiece goes 3D in this gorgeous high-definition transfer that’s packed with multiple versions of the film and plenty of bonus features.
