|This photorealistic CGI remake of the 1994 film ''The Lion King'' contains the same messages as the original film, from faith and heroism to honoring one's father. Totalitarian rule is shown as negative in the form of Scar, who makes an alliance with the hyenas to take over the Pride Lands and overhunts alongside them (which is also a condemnation of poaching); this sets him up as an opposite to Mufasa when the latter earlier says, "While others search for what they can take, a true king searches for what he can give." Similarly, the movie expands upon the overhunting element from the original movie by revealing it had been done deliberately on Scar's orders, both to cull the numbers to ensure he remained on top as well as out of spite for Sarabi refusing him, showcasing even more blatantly the negatives of megalomania and such being etched into totalitarian ideologies such as Communism. Hakuna Matata is also a lot more nihilistic in this remake, Timon and Pumbaa explaining how life is a "meaningless line of indifference", until Simba finally manages to shake it off and take responsibility. That being said, the movie suffers from flaws like faces not being expressive enough to several important parts of the original being removed.
