Film: Mufasa

So boring. First - why the narrative framing device? Who is that for? Second, the uncanny valley. One becomes super aware of the technology and phoniness of the endeavour by the "realistic" looking animals speaking in English. 3rd, Mufasa is not a super interesting lead character -- too perfect, too good, not-dimensional. Scar the most interesting character, but the arcs and shifts in his character toward the end were unearned. Fourth, music was entirely unmemorable. 5th - I couldn't tell the lions apart. 

Just a flat overall story. Of the 11 people I saw the film with, probably 4 reported enjoying it. None of the emotional charm of the original.
