    I don't think this will replace the original Lion King in my heart. But I hope the remake will have the charm of the original one and bring a new generation back to the movie.

    The CG is just stunning. The animals in the Jungle Book emoted pretty clearly, but none of them were the main character, so it will be interesting to see how that is handled. I kinda wish I could...

I kinda wish I could watch a cut of this teaser styling itself as a nature documentary without knowing it was Lion King, just to see if my brain would accept it as real or not.

    The original Lion King was a huge smash--it's hard to overstate how much. Even today it stands at #8 of the highest grossing animated films of all time. You have to get to #47 to reach another film before 2000, Toy Story 2. I remember the trailer for it just being the opening "Circle of Life" and how entrancing that was. And then Disney trying to recapture that with Dinosaur and just... not.

    Seems like a more realistic & gritty take on Lion King, but how does that square with Akuna Matata?
