    • Overview

    Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub's arrival. Scar, Mufasa's brother—and former heir to the throne—has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba's exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.

Roger Ebert

The movie is never less interesting than when it's trying to be the original Lion King, and never more compelling than when it's carving out negative space within a very familiar property and strutting to the beat of its own, new music.

Variety

Favreau reinforces the strength of the 1994 classic. If you were never a fan of 'The Lion King,' then nothing here will win you over. On the other hand, for those too young ever to have seen it, this could be a life-changing experience.

Screen Rant

The Lion King is good because the original animated movie was great, though it does feature stunning CGI that Disney is clearly excited to show off.

Vulture

It’s a stirring reminder of what can be achieved with all the talent (and money) in the world, as well as a cautionary tale of what can happen when there’s no vision to bind it all together.

The New York Times

Real lions don’t sing — not even like Beyoncé — and don’t actually govern other creatures.

IMDb

It's not just similar to its source material but is 100% the same in almost every aspect.

Rotten Tomatoes

Once again we find ourselves under the problem of current cinema, its lack of originality.
