Preview: The Lion King 3D (2011)

Synopsis:

The 1994 box office juggernaut and Disney's highest grossing (not adjusted for inflation) hand-drawn animated film gets the 3D conversion.

• Poster: B-

Review:

They are images we've all come to know from the film, so it's not hard to see this working well, but it's still lacking real inspiration.

• Trailer: C

Review:

You compare anything to the brilliant trailer for the film back in the mid-1990's and you're bound to come away disappointed. All the usual claptrap celebrating its place in history and its beloved status feels hollow sentiment when the film is being used so blatantly as a cash cow.

Oscar Prospects:

Ineligible.

Release Date:
