After turning The Jungle Book into a live-action hit, director Jon Favreau now turns his attentions to The Lion King.
So this “live-action” Lion King is really just a CGI Lion King with more realistic looking animals.
The Lion King opens in theaters on July 19, 2019.
The Lion King was one of Disney’s biggest hits ever when it opened in 1994; it remains the fourth biggest animated film ever, behind only Incredibles 2, Finding Dory, and Shrek 2.
