Somebody Compared The Lion King 2019 To The 1994 Animation Side By Side
1994 was a big year. Nelson Mandela became the President of South Africa, The Channel Tunnel between England and France opened after six years of construction. And, of course, Disney released The Lion King, which eventually became the highest-grossing animated film ever (now, 4th).

During the NFL’s traditional Thanksgiving primetime game in the US., the company released the first teaser trailer of the Lion King 2019 remake, scheduled to come out next summer, and everyone’s losing their minds.

A lot of fans were incredibly happy to hear it’s narrated by James Earl Jones, who plays king Mufasa in both the 1994 Disney’s Lion King original and next year’s film. But arguably the most impressive thing about the teaser is how amazing the visuals look, not to mention everyone’s excitement in meeting the Lion King characters, such as Nala and Simba, once more.

To show how much technology has advanced over the past 24 years, someone has even created a video, comparing shots from the two releases side by side. Scroll down till the end to see the two Lion King movies video comparison.

Judging by the above - so much more character and facial expression in the original animation.

Stop remaking things that were already perfect, Disney. I guess a bunch of people will go see this anyway, but you really shouldn't. Every other "live-action" (CGI animated) remake has been a bland trash-heap compared to the originals so far. The technology may be better now, but the technique isn't. Where's the use of color?

Doesn't even compare. The Disney style isn't pure CGI, and why should it be?

That is one movie I will NOT watch. I cried enough on the cartoon version, even though it has a happy ending. Mufasa's fate was one of the most traumatic experiences of my childhood.

Came to comments to see who supported this. Nope, can't do it. Cried at a CARTOON. Don't need to relive it in 3D. Nope, nope, nope.

The remake might be good, but the 1994 one was original and it was art. It cannot be replaced.

No, please, no! Royal lions, monkey shaman and red billed hornbill with a sense of humor is acceptable only if they are animated! Making Cinderella with real people is one thing, but Lion King with real animals makes no sense! I will not watch it - better make it with real people.. oh wait - that would be Hamlet.

Wow... yes it would. Well apart of some minor things... but it is very very similar. I never noticed. Thanks
