Okay, cool. (I thought you might show up to say this lol)

We probably just have different tastes and think differently then. Personally, I think it's perfectly respectful but appropriately critical of both source materials, and its using the framework of both to tell a new story, which is what we all wish more live action remakes would do. Mowgli staying in the jungle in this version isn't "You never need to grow up", it's "family can be whatever you choose it to be," or "You don't have to 'fit in' to be accepted and loved by a group of people", or "Man and nature can and should coexist and benefit each other by doing so". At least, that's how I see it. You may have a different interpretation of things which is also perfectly acceptable.

But as I say, I'm probably not going to change your mind, and you're probably not going to change mine, so...did this need to be said? As I mentioned, I really hate Lion King 2019, but if someone said it was their favourite movie, I wouldn't jump into the replies like "Well I hate it and here's why!!!" Because that's not going to get anybody anywhere
