There’s been mixed reception to the idea of a live action version of The Lion King, but the recently released teaser trailer seems to have gotten fans pretty hyped.
In the world of reboots and revivals, WHY fix something if it isn’t broken? Yes, I’m all for creating versions that fit within the current world that we’re living in if their views are outdated (which in an older Hollywood is very likely), but if it’s just a harmless animated film with lions, filled with an Elton John soundtrack then there really doesn’t need much changing or adjustment.
How beautiful is that? I’m so excited, and judging by social media I’m not the only person who was left wanting more after watching the video online.
Disneys “live action” Lion King looks amazing and maybe im just too old, but I remember that exact same trailer in the cinema when I was a kid and it blew me and the world away.. I get why they are repeating the trailer as it was so iconic… but why

The film, due out in 2019, has one of the best casts out there, including the likes of Beyonce, Seth Rogen, and the return of the one and only Mufasa, James Earl Jones.
Are you excited for The Lion King?
