The latest Disney animation-to-live-action movie is clearly not as slavish to the original as The Lion King, instead going for an epic Crouching Tiger style, big set pieces and sumptuous visuals, all of which it achieves admirably. The first half is a little leisurely in setting up the tale, but the second half is much livelier and feels more assured. It is a shame that this was one of the first victims of cinema closures in the pandemic's first lockdown as it is clearly designed to be shown on a big screen, as home viewing exposes just how centred the shots are in general, but the development from the source material makes this a live-action transfer worth making.
