“As in the ghastly 2019 remake, thousands of digital artists have been employed to render almost-but-not-quite photorealistic animals who sing Elton John songs. Except this time they’re Lin-Manuel Miranda songs. Disney honcho Bob Iger insists on calling Mufasa ‘live-action’, even though nothing in the film was live or acted. It’s just an uglier kind of animation.” – North Shore Movies, 12/17/2024
