    Was hesitant at first to see the movie as I figured just a kids show. I was wrong, great movie for all ages. The ending was predictable but none the less fantastic show that kept you wanting to not take your eye off the screen.

    The animals and background was wonderful. In order to get the animals like they were, it had to take a long time to photograph them in different positions. It was very uplifting and I really enjoyed it.

    I liked it, but it will never be as good as the original cartoon. More colorful could've been added, however, the small kids at the theater didn't seem to mind. And as most who already seen it, there was the 15 second or so part that should not have been put in the movie. James Earl Jones' voice is just as remarkable as it is in anything he's in.

    Not as good as the first one which was animated. Was disappointed. The first one you could believe the animals where talking because it was animated. This one seemed unreal because it was made to looked like the real animals were talking which made the movie seem unreal (fake).

    No where near as good as rhe original which was animated. This movie should have been animated as well and should have picked up where the original left off instead of trying to copy the same movie.

    I did not like it as much as the cartoon one. It needs more color and the lions look emeciated/too skinny. No expression. The hyanas were worse. The cartoon one was so much funny. Disney missed
