In addition to The Lion King footage, Disney also screened some extended scenes from Aladdin at CinemaCon, which wasn’t as well-received as The Lion King, so it will be interesting to see how it performs at the box office next month.
The “Circle of Life” scene from Disney’s upcoming live-action version of The Lion King was shown at CinemaCon.
While there are a few complaints about taking too much from the original, the general consensus about The Lion King footage is that it was visually breathtaking.
It has yet to be confirmed if Disney will provide credit when Aladdin and The Lion King premiere.
