HAKUNA MATATA! THE LION KING REVIEW

@THEMOGULGIRL

  Rawr! The live action version of Disney's 1994 " The Lion King" releases in theaters
July 19,2019 . The premiere kicked off Tuesday night in Hollywood  with a star studded evening. On Wednesday I saw a private screening of the film and let's just say I can't wait to go see it again. Director Jon Favreau and executive producer Mario Zvan of Blue Sky Films Africa catalyzed the original film into one unforgettable movie.
  If you think I'm going to spoil the film for you trust me I'm not. This review will be short and sweet because I'm literally still speechless that I've seen it already. I felt as if I've waited my whole life just to spend and 1hr and 58minutes in a whole new yet familiar world. The film's cinematography by Caleb Deschanel is absolutely stunning. The  soundtrack produced by Pharrell Williams and Hans Zimmer  sets the tone for the film.
  Hakuna Matata what a wonderful phrase! As an adult realizing how many important gems there are in the film reminds you to remember who you are and don't ever forget it. Every story has it changes so you're bound to see a few if you can catch them. The characters are voiced by Chiwetel Ejiofor -Scar- John Oliver -Zazu- ,James Earl Jones -Mufasa-,  John Kani -Rafiki- , Alfre Woodard -Sarabi -, JD McCrary -Young Simba- ,Shahadi Wright Joseph Young -Nala-, Beyonce Knowles Carter -Older Nala-,Donald Glover -Older Simba-, Penny Johnson Jerald -Sarafina, Keegan- Michael Key  -Kamari- , Eric André -Azizi- , Florence Kasumba -Shenzi-,  Seth Rogen -Pumbaa-Billy Eichner -Timon- ,Amy Sedaris -Guinea Fowl- ,Chance the Rapper -Bush Baby- Chance Bennett.
  Casting agent Sarah Finn alongside Priyanka Sirpal and  Jason B. Stamey chose a well put together group to voice the characters. Illustrator Jamie Jones and graphic designer Andrew Campbell made everything look so realistic ! As far as visual effects go Charlotte Akehurst is astounding.
  There's so much to say but there's even more to see! So on July 19th , you can travel to Pride Rock and see Mustafa, Simba , Nala , Zazu and so many more on the big screen in a cinema near you. Don't forget to wear your favorite Lion King gear and bring your friends and family. The Mogul Minute will also be giving one lucky winner a Lion King prize pack.
