As a result of Walt Disney Pictures’ goal of producing new versions of its entire film library, they came out with a “photorealistic” computer-animated remake of the traditionally animated “The Lion King” of 1994. This 2019 movie of the same name tells the story of the young lion Simba who must step into his deceased father’s role as king.
Expert production and direction by Jon Favreau (“The Jungle Book” 2016) and good writing by Jeff Nathanson created a smoothly flowing movie with an interesting storyline. Movie audiences apparently approved, as they awarded The Walt Disney Company over $1.6 billion at the world wide box office.
The talented voice cast includes Donald Glover (Simba), Seth Rogan (Pumbaa), Chiwetel Ejiofor (Scar), Alfre Woodward (Sarabi), Billy Eicher (Timon), Joh Kani (Rafiki), John Oliver (Zazu), Beyonce Knowles (Nala), Penny Johnson Jerald (Sarafina), and James Earl Jones returning as Mufasa.
Fantastic visual effects, wonderful music, and an engrossing storyline make Walt Disney Pictures’ “The Lion King” a very watchable motion picture.
