The Lion King
71Worth an evening.
The same story: a son, a murdered father, a realm neglected. The story holds. The shine does not improve it.
The review
Mufasa dies because Scar sets a stampede and a lie. Simba believes the lie that it was his fault and lets the pride land be eaten down. The 2019 film tells this with a realism of fur that adds nothing to the moral and takes some of the performance away. The moral does not need the fur. A king is a steward. A lie about how a father died is the kind of lie that starves other people.
A child can watch it. Prefer the older telling if you have it, and either way say the sentence: running from guilt is not humility. Going back is.

Live Historic number 71. Yours can differ.
The glance
Piety is the thin one.
Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Spirited Away
78 instead of 71
Spirited Away is still a animation film, and it scores 78 instead of 71. What you gain is industry: She earns the rescue by labor.
The eight
- 6Industry
A king's work is the land and the herd. Scar's reign is consumption.
- 8Household
A father killed. A son who has to become the head of a ruined house.
- 5Piety
The kings of the past are a cloud of duty. Take the duty, not the mystique.
- 7Courage
He goes back knowing Scar will kill him if he can.
- 8Republic
A pride is a people. Their grass is the politics.
- 6Temperance
Exile as self-protection. 'Hakuna matata' is the excess, and it is corrected.
- 8Truth
The truth of the gorge has to be said in front of the pride.
- 9Stewardship
The land was the inheritance. He returns it to life.
