It felt so dull and sterile. Also all the extended scenes to show off the CGI really hurt the pacing. This should not be a 2 hour movie. I will however give Chiwetel Ejiofor credit. I didn't think anyone could replace Jeremy Irons but he was acceptable. 5/10
My daughter's updated Disney+ power rankings:
1. Lion King
2. Frozen 2
3. Toy Story
4. Moana
5. Bambi

Wow Bambi the total wildcard in there.
My daughter loves Moana and so do I. She is 15 and claims to be over Frozen 2 but she has watched it more than once and if I suggested another viewing, she'd be all over it.
