VISUAL REVIEW
Here is my visual review done in an original visual style with several graphics that work you through the film.
Somewhat of a disappointment. I was expecting the same Lion King experience as the original. But there was not as much emotional payoff. However, it exceeded my expectations when it came to the artistry and the mind-blowing computer-assisted animation. Lion King makes you aware that we have entered a whole new era of motion picture making. Enjoy!
