I watched this movie in theaters and was blown away. I don't remember too much of the original animated film, but this was a nice refresher. We get CGI animals and CGI backgrounds, and one human boy (who is real). The animals were all well-done and their voices were superb. If this is what the CGI Lion King will be like in 2019, then I'm all for it, even without humans. The wolves were the best of the CGI animals, especially the pups. The pups sounded just like human children! I'm not too sure about the Oscar winnings but this gets a standing ovation, Oscar or no Oscar. It's a good Disney remake.
