As a huge fan of The Lion King, I can honestly say this movie is excellent. The cinematography and music, especially in 3D IMAX are absolutely stunning. There wasn't a single boring moment and the visuals are breathtaking, you can read the animals' emotions much more clearly compared to the first live action film, the pacing is smooth and the plot holds up well. While I occasionally struggled to distinguish some lion characters, the voices made it easy to follow. A bit more humor would've been nice though but overall, it's a well crafted prequel that delves into Scar's origin beautifully. People seem too critical these days instead of just enjoying things.

I compared Luca with this movie cuz they have the same style but one is so controversial and people didn't like the movie at first glance because of the art style.

I've watched both movies and the two have similar messages. Very close when it comes to originality. But unlike Luca, Turning red can connect audiences more with the character's emotions more. The expressiveness of the characters is also a plus. It was also a roller coaster of emotion, with good timing. There are also many adorable and funny scenes since they portrayed 13 year old girls in that era, along with the culture so well. Keep an open mind folks.

So many ppl are giving this movie a 1 star even without watching the film yet.

P.s. I used to dislike the movie when I first watched the trailer too but this movie totally changed my mind. Better than expected.
