Why i hated the new Lion King 2019 CGI remake

Daniel enjoyed the remake, rating it 5.1/10, but criticised ultra-realistic CGI, emotionless characters, altered designs, and omitted comedic scenes. Mufasa’s death and cloud scene triggered grief; Daniel recalled seeing his father’s face in clouds after his father died. Unlike Simba, Daniel has not found his purpose or faced responsibilities, though he insists declining views cannot erase his identity.

The film channels grief into self-recognition while exposing his continuing avoidance and uncertain identity.
