The Lion King is one of the most beloved Disney films of all time, and the 1994 film is getting a new reboot, set for release in July 2019. The new film is directed by Jon Favreau (The Jungle Book, Iron Man, Elf).
Someone did us all a favor and compared what the 1994 and the upcoming 2019 versions look like side-by-side. The visuals for the new film look pretty incredible.
