Elton John disappointed with 'Lion King' movie

Elton John calls this year's remake of The Lion King "a huge disappointment" because Disney "messed the music up."

In a cover story interview for British EQ, the co-writer of the animated classic's score explains, "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 1990s Lion King had a huge impact -- its soundtrack "was the bestselling album of the year." In contrast, "The new soundtrack fell out of the charts so quickly, despite the [2019 version's] massive box-office success."

Elton also felt left out of the production. "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."

While "extremely sad" over how the 2019 movie turned out, Elton is pleased that the "right spirit" of the music is still present in the stage musical.  

The Jon Favreau-directed Lion King reaches home video next Tuesday.
