Lion King 2019 is over hated. The animation is beautiful. People hate it because it essentially doesn't change anything and because the animals don't have exaggerated expressive faces like in the original. Both of those are valid reasons for not liking it, so I can certainly understand, but I feel the "not liking it" is unfairly turned into "completely hated it". I'm personally tired of movies constantly being remade, so I'd never really support them in the first place. But at the end of the day, it was still The Lion King, so it was still a good story with beautiful animation. Looking at in a bubble, it's enjoyable. In regards to saying that animals don't have expressive faces, this is both a fair point, and a bit of a cop out to me. These people are often comparing it to the original which most people hold on an untouchable pedestal of nostalgia, so the movie never had a chance to begin with. Then you look at other Disney acclaimed films like WALL-E and Homeward Bound where the main characters have less expressive faces than in the 2019 Lion King.

So eh, I can understand people not liking it, but I think hating it is very silly.
