This movie won't be as good as Billy on the Street.

Just the next progression of a gay character for Disney.

I am pretty neutral on this casting announcement. I don't think they are terribly important in the grand scheme of things. My enjoyment of the movie will probably boil down to how they do Scar. I really do think that they need to do what they can to get Jeremy Irons to return as Scar like they did with JEJ/Mufasa. If they can get him then I probably won't care too much who else is hired to round out the cast. I think that any British actor can play Zazu, Nala is pretty much any female actress, and get some old dude that can do an African-ish accent to play the baboon. Charlie Day can be one of the Hyenas.

I always though Timon and Pubmba were just stoners hanging together in the brush, so seems like Seth Rogan is a perfect choice.

Eichner could potentially be good as Timon, or absolutely terrible. He sucked on Parks and Rec, but he fits on Difficult People, kind of just depends on how they shape Timon and how much yelling he does.

I'm fine with Rogen, but Eichner is awful.

They could easily get Whoopi Goldberg and Cheech again.

Apparently I'm not young enough to get all emotional over who does a voice in the Lion King. I have no problem with Seth Rogan.

This is BS. Such an unnecessary money grab and rape of a legendary movie. I'm out.
