Thank heavens for Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner! Without their hilarious comic characters, this film wouldn’t have much personality. This “live action” remake of Disney’s classic hit looks like an upscale nature documentary with voiceovers. In case you didn’t know, everything was done in computers. The recreated scenery is beautiful with wondrous flora and fauna, but without the drawn style of animation, it lacks visual poetry and the animals feel cold and lifeless. The power of the narrative and the popular songs help propel the pace, but the magic is missing.
