Movie Reivew [#] ‘The Lion King’ is not, as detractors say...

This is not going to be a typical film review, in which the critic praises or puts down a movie. It’s not going to be another collection of 700 or so carefully chosen words meticulously arranged to get the reader to either fork over your hard-earned money at the box office or save that money for more important or maybe more entertaining things.

No, this is going to be a warning, a warning not to listen to or read things by people who don’t know what they’re talking or writing about. Specifically, turn off your eyes and ears to those naysayers who are trashing Disney’s updating of “The Lion King,” but haven’t yet seen it.
If someone has seen it, didn’t like it, and wants to share that opinion, all power to them. Everyone, they say, is a critic.
But Disney has been getting a lot of grief concerning their recent movies of “Cinderella,” “The Jungle Book,” “Dumbo,” and “Aladdin” (all of which proved popular and made money). The questions have come flying: Why can’t they do anything original anymore? Why do they keep remaking their animated movies into live-action ones? Why do they take things that are good and turn them into something that isn’t as good?
And the negative noise seems to have been turned up for “The Lion King.” Why is that? Did this happen when Julie Taymor adapted “The Lion King” for Broadway in 1997? I don’t recall any fuss, and that play not only recently had its 9,000th performance, it also holds the record for highest grossing Broadway show of all time (somewhere around the $8 billion mark).
