The first reactions of the lion king: the Disney movie is "amazing", "a game changer"

Disney's adaptation of the 1994 clbadic, The Lion King, makes all the noise for weeks.

Dennis Tzeng, vice president of production at Collider Video, tweeted: "#TheLionKing combines an extremely realistic CG with a heart, a sense of humor and the same story as the original music. . It also captures the same magical feeling of the animated film and stays true to its spirit. Most dubbing works well and the music stands out once again. "

According to Chris E. Hayner, entertainment editor at Gamespot, Timon and Pumba are show thieves. He wrote on Twitter: "I just got out of #TheLionKing and I really dug it out. My fear was realistic. The animals would not have the charisma of the cartoon, but they are very good. Timon and Pumba steal the show. Some song / choreography arrangements do not work as well as the original, but it's still a really fun movie. "

Erik Davis, managing editor at Fandango, calls The Lion King" a game changer for visual effects ". He tweeted, "#TheLionKing is visually immaculate and changes the game when it comes to visual effects. It's absolutely beautiful in every way. The music shines (Glover and Beyoncé take another level), the performances are excellent (Timon, Pumbaa and Scar fly a lot of scenes) and the emotions are strong. Really great "

Beatrice Verhoeven, entertainment journalist at The Wrap, was also amazed by the Lion King. She tweeted, "Oh guy #TheLionKing book. It's a visual masterpiece that will leave you smiling and crying all the time. This is a true testament to the lasting effect of Disney movies on all generations. Timon and Pumbaa steal the show. And BEYONCE !!! #LionKing "

Adam B Vary of BuzzFeed News wrote on Twitter:" Yes, Beyoncé is good in #TheLionKing – really good! The role of Nala is indeed more important and Bey fits him perfectly. There is a moment when she tells Simba that she is "disappointed", and reader, the way Bey bit the "t" in this word froze me and delighted me. The film? Welllll … #TheLionKing is a great visual experience. I have never seen anything like it and I think it will forever change the way we watch movies. As an * emotional * experience, I will formulate it as follows: it turns out that lions really can not move.

Nerdist's Rachel Heine posted on Twitter, "Absolutely Stunned by #TheLionKing. Incredible visuals and voice work. Shouted all my makeup. Timon and Pumba brought me back from the edge. Would die for Simba baby. "

Germaine Lussier of Gizmodo tweeted:" The Lion King is a wonderful adaptation of an iconic clbadic. There are some small changes that enhance what was already great and everything else is about. The CG can sometimes be slightly disturbing, but the emotion covers it quickly.

Steven Weintraub, Editor-in-Chief of Collidor.com, wrote on Twitter: "I've been lucky enough to attend several world premieres, but I'm not sure I've already had heard as much applause during a movie as I did tonight at #TheLionKing. Was like being at a rock concert. The film will bring so much money … Some other things about #TheLionKing

Peter Sciretta, editor of Slashfilm.com, tweeted: "#TheLionKing is a breathtaking film making. I can not believe it's an animated film in computer graphics. Timon and Pumbaa steal the show. It's a good remake of Disney but was it necessary? Maybe not, but it's nice and families will love it. The visual effects and animation of the movie are INCREDIBLE. For the first time in my life perhaps at the beginning of the film, I was very moved. Just hear the music destroyed me. Although it's a story, you know, it's so well done.

Terri Schwartz, editor-in-chief of entertainment activities at IGN, wrote on a series of tweets: "I just got out of #TheLionKing. Dominant Reaction: SIMBA IS SO CUTE. But really, if you hope that it will be an almost exact adaptation of the animated film with absolutely stunning visual effects, you will get what you are looking for … There is enough new content to make it cool (plus some new jokes) really hilarious Rogen / Eichner – nobody made me laugh anymore) and they really managed to recreate the most iconic sequences. I found myself going out immediately, wanting to watch the original … Beyoncé and Donald Glover are fine if they are underused, but honestly, I thought the comedians, and especially the young Simba JD McCrary, had stolen the damn show. He is so charming and brings a lot of energy to the cutest new baby you can hope for.

The Lion King offers an exciting voice. Although James Earl Jones resumes his role as Mufasa, the team also includes Donald Glover (Simba), Beyonce (Nala), John Oliver (Zazu), Alfre Woodard (Sarabi) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (Scar). Timon and Pumba are expressed by Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen, respectively. Eric André, Florence Kasumba and Keegan-Michael Key voiced Azizi, Shenzi and Kamari. JD McCrary and Shahadi Wright Joseph express themselves in the voices of young Simba and Nala.

The film is due out on July 19 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
