Sadly though, the rest of the voice over cast leaves a lot to be desired. Retaining James Earl Jones as the voice of Mufasa as homage to the original is something that takes the relatability of the film a notch higher. A frame to frame copy of the 1994 film, THE LION KING features everything that made the original heart touching and endearing.
WOW: Shah Rukh Khan PAIRS UP With Aryan Khan For LION KING | Mufasa | SimbaĬoming to the direction, Jon Favreau has quite literally remade the original. Once the film begins, viewers are hard pressed to believe that the on screen visuals are not live action, from the way hair and particles move in the wind, to the physics of flowing and still water, the makers of THE LION KING have paid attention to the minutest detail. Contrary to what THE JUNGLE BOOK accomplished, THE LION KING fails to establish an emotional rapport with anyone older than a fifth grader. Sadly, this is not where it ends, instead unlike the previous film, the new LION KING seems lacking the emotional connect. When compared to the ’94 version, this new age visual effects masterpiece only brings in more colour, vividness and life like realism to a story that has since been told a million times over. In fact, save for the photorealistic computer generated animatronics, little else makes an impression. That being said, THE LION KING does not live up to the previous film. Starting off since the film is a shot for shot remake of the 1994 animation do not expect differences, though an obvious fact is, more often than not viewers are left waiting for something new to happen. Will Simba take back what is rightfully his is what the rest of the film is about. As tensions rise, he is drawn back into a battle with Scar by the friends from his past life. While in exile Simba grows up in the company of Timon and Pumbaa, a meerkat and warthog pair with a carefree lifestyle.
A jealous Scar initiates a coup which results in Mufasa's death and Simba's exile. Scar, Mufasa's brother - and former heir to the throne - has plans of his own. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub's arrival. In the African savanna, the young lion Simba idolizes his father, Mufasa, and longs to succeed him as King of the Pridelands. But will this remake entice the audience or will the film be just another heavy on visual effects extravaganza, is what we analyse. Now, decades on, we see a remake of the film with photorealistic computer animated characters. Years back in 1994 we saw the release of the animated Disney film THE LION KING, which went on to become a cult classic that kids the world over have grown up on.
