Narrated by Rebecca Ehrenpreis Summary: A series of many kid stories. Additional Comments: Dialogue is super stilted. Narrator’s performance was fine. Spoilers possible I get that children’s stories often don’t make much sense, especially those in this style (legend/folk tale). Still, there should be some logic to them. Disclaimer: I am NOT the right target…

*May be spoilers, but if you’ve seen the original, you’re 100% spoiled already. Summary: The live action, for lack of a better term, remake of Disney’s animated classic, The Lion King is honestly sort of disappointing. Not much about the story changed, though that’s not a surprise with it being a remake. Additional Comments: I…
