No Worries, For The Rest Of Your Days! New Look At Disney’s The Lion King

One of our family favorites has been Disney’s The Lion King. My oldest son would watch the VHS over and over and over again- and I let him without guilt because I loved it too! Here’s a new look at the Live Action version of Disney’s The Lion King coming on July 19, 2019.

One of the biggest movies of the summer is Disney’s The Lion King. 

It’s going to be so great to sing the songs and watch this new live-action rendition on screen. I’m personally still not sure I understand why it’s a “live-action” but it looks AMAZING so I’m totally ok with Disney calling it whatever they want to!

Check out these stunning cast photos that were just released.

About Disney’s The Lion King

Disney’s “The Lion King,” directed by Jon Favreau, journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival. Scar, Mufasa’s brother—and former heir to the throne—has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his. Staying true to the classic story, Favreau utilizes pioneering filmmaking techniques to bring the iconic characters to the big screen in a whole new way. Also featuring James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and Billy Eichner as Timon, Disney’s “The Lion King” opens in U.S. theaters on July 19, 2019.
