SaysWho? Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/elton-john-interview Quote EJ: The new version of The Lion King was a huge disappointment to me, because I believe they messed the music up. Music was so much a part of the original and the music in the current film didn’t have the same impact. The magic and joy were lost. The soundtrack hasn’t had nearly the same impact in the charts that it had 25 years ago, when it was the bestselling album of the year. The new soundtrack fell out of the charts so quickly, despite the massive box-office success. I wish I’d been invited to the party more, but the creative vision for the film and its music was different this time around and I wasn’t really welcomed or treated with the same level of respect. That makes me extremely sad. I’m so happy that the right spirit for the music lives on with the Lion King stage musical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternallDarkness Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I loved the original but the previews never got me excited. I'll see it eventually, probably when Disney+ launches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
