Storyboard artists who worked on Dumbo, Aladdin, and The Lion King will not be receiving credit for the work that they put into shaping the original iconic animated films.
The storyboard artists are largely responsible for framing the entire movie, including dialogue and blocking, which is a huge amount of work that should, in theory, get credits on say, The Lion King live-action remake.
Storyboard artist Jorgen Klubien worked on The original Lion King in 1994 and created a key scene, which gave him a story credit.
While most Disney fans were excited to see the first trailer for Jon Favreau’s take on The Lion King, many couldn’t help notice that it was nearly a shot-for-shot remake of the original movie.
