This is a bad idea IMO. Disney is gonna cash grab on remaking all of these old, beloved cartoons as live action now, and that sucks.

One reason The Jungle Book worked so well was because there was a human boy in it. So contrasting a live, actual actor with the cartoonish sets and CGI characters is cool, looks cool, and works.

Making The Lion King just because seems like a pretty stupid idea. There won't be much different except that instead of cartoon animals you'll be looking at a different type of cartoon animals (CGI).

Horrible idea.

It's Disney so it will make a metric crap of ton of money regardless, because...

But yeah I don't get a live action Lion King at all. It just sounds awkward.
