![]() ![]() They don’t care whether the film is good or whether you enjoy it. If nothing else, this film makes it abundantly clear that Disney has no interest in making great cinema or honouring its own legacy. Even with my dislike of the original, I was flabbergasted at how thoroughly this film never attempts to understand why so many people love the 1994 film. In Favreau’s hands, ‘The Lion King’ is rendered thunderously dull, lacking in any tension or complex characterisation, taking a laboriously long time to go nowhere and never once justifying its contentious existence. There’s nothing redeeming about it, with every decision either ill-conceived or mishandled to the point of incompetence. ‘The Lion King’ is a catastrophe a new low in the ever-diminishing returns of Disney’s endless run of remakes.
