5/5
FROM Bambi to The Lion King, there is no disputing Disney’s animal cinematic legacy but now the studio has come up with its most socially relevant animated feature.
It tackles the issues of diversity and racial and sexual discrimination subtly but cleverly in a funny and inventive film which will entertain kids and hold adults’ attention too.
