The Lion King is an upcoming American computer-animated drama film directed by Jon Favreau, produced by Walt Disney Pictures, and written by Jeff Nathanson. It is a photorealistic computer-animated remake of Disney's traditionally animated 1994 film of the same name.

Truly wish it was abit longer...wanted more shots of Mufasa in his full glory lol😂😂😂
Just that 1 shot of Simba placing his foot on Mufasa's immense large footprint emphasizes Mufasa's physical stature, prowess & foreshadowing the importance Mufasa has in this film as well as Simba's respect towards his father as leader of the Pride Land, which cannot be describe in just words...
More adults gonna watch this film than childrens lol
I like how the CGI in this as well as Jungle Book felt like love-child of life-like creatures & immensely high-quality animation
Cant wait to watch Godzilla: King of Monsters & Lion King😂😂😂

Also interesting that Disney has THREE live action movie, based on their animation feature in 2019, namely
Dumbo (2019) Aladdin (2019) Lion King (2019)
Zero in 2018....
I supposed that need the mulah after all the expensive purchases (Marvel, Lucasarts and now 21st Century Fox)....
Another note is that The Lion King (1994) was their "b sides" (older music lovers will understand what I mean) project. All their major talents were put to work on their "a side" project, namely Pocahontas (1995).

Just watched some parts of animated 1994 version...there's so much emotion & soul behind every scene which I think this live-action adaptation is gonna dilute
It just feels awkward when u watch the animated version & suddenly watch this trailer...like the former blows the latter outta park no contest lol
Im definetly gonna watch this film. Just sayin how animations those days (frickin 24 years ago) could be so poignant, subtle yet powerful to stand test of time😊

I liked the director, John who also directed 1st Iron Man film...and gotta be forever indebted to dat guy...without dat film...no MCU or Avengers:Endgame haha. And Imma not even MCU fan.
On topic, feeling like gonna give this film a safe pass after the mixed reviews. Maybe wud download after few days
