Disney's love of Shakespearean lions continues.
I much preferred this one to the original as a little girl, but rewatching it as an adult....the darkness is pretty impressive, but the humor is, just like Hunchback, severely undercuts any kind of tension.
And if it's not the humor, it's the very cheap animation that hits you full on in the face when there's a closeup of the characters.
There is one aspect where it has the original movie soundly beat -
The music is amazing.
From "We Are One":
To "He Lives In You":
To "Love Will Find A Way":
And the eternal headbanger that is "My Lullaby":
You can only go wrong with "Upendi", and that's from it's rather empty vocals than anything else.
