The concept was original. Vaughan has a good crack at the ideas he explores, which is tricky really because the comparisons between freedom, captivity, liberation, security can easily be labelled as trite if not handled carefully. I think he does pretty well. I did find the rape scene very jarring, maybe that was the intention, but to me it took one step too many toward a very disturbingly all too human scene played out by lions. I'm no great art critic. I've got more of a draughtsman's eye for pretty pictures. So when I hear people complaining about the Disney/Lion King artwork all I can really muster in defence of the artwork is 'Hey, they look like lions to me.' Great action, entertaining, thought provoking and looks good. I don't think Vaughan is quite up to his previous standards but I think some slack is warranted considering the subject matter. Love the scene with the bear.
