I did like that they changed up the animal puns in Zazu's morning report. Especially the two giraffes that were caught necking.  I didn't like that they got rid of Ed's laugh. I don't mind that he talked now, but I missed his laugh.

The scene where Mufasa is talking to Simba under the stars has always been my favorite part. In this version they took out Mufasa's line, "Being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble." To me that was the line that got Mufasa's point across the best.

The stampede scene was heart pounding in CGI! Mufasa's death has never made me cry. (I rarely cry at movies. ) But I've always found it heartbreaking and hard to watch. The CGI version is equally so.

I didn't like the changes they made to Timon and Pumbaa's personalities. Timon isn't as... bossy. And Pumbaa isn't as dim witted. Pumbaa didn't screw up Timon's phrase and tell Simba to "put his behind in the past." But in Hakuna Matta Pumbaa actually said the word "farted". I guess Disney decided that wasn't a bad word anymore.  I did enjoy the extended scene of them singing The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Nala's arrival in the jungle made me jump. It's completely different from the original and I wasn't expecting it.

I was disappointed that they took out when Timon and Pumbaa dressed in drag and did the hula. But at the same time, I can imagine that would look super silly in hyper realistic CGI. Them singing a bit of Be Our Guest was cute. I'm glad that they left out the Arsenio Hall grunting. That joke is far too outdated.

I did like how they showed how Nala escaped from Pride Rock and how Simba's fur made it to Rafiki.
