The Lion King (2019): If National Geographic decides to Produce Hamlet Drama

So, who didn't like The Lion King? The original cartoon version released in 1994, I mean. The Lion King (2019) is a sad remake of the joyful 1994 version. It is a CGI copycat, that sadly didn't give us a new way of retelling the classic tale. I think this is the problem with almost…
