My Thoughts On The Lion King Live Action Remake

Disney is making another remake, and this is what I feel about it.

My Thoughts On The Lion King Live Action Remake

Disney's The Lion King is set to be remade into a live action movie with CGI animals. It will be directed by the same guy who made the new Jungle Book movie, Jon Favreau. There have been little said about this movie besides the confirmed director, it will be CGI, and there will be music like the original movie from 1994.

Lately, Disney has been remaking their old animated films like Pete's Dragon and Cinderella. Now, other movies have been made like a new Beauty and the Beast with Emma Watson as Belle, and Emily Blunt in a new Mary Poppins. More movies are sure to come, but people are unsure what this new Lion King is going to be like.

The original is only a little over 20 years old, and after a watching a video on it, there have been many sequels and even a Broadway show about the movie (which I think is marvelous). This remake is just another continuation of the story.

My only grip with it is that who are going to voice the characters? Are they going to call back Matthew Broderick and James Earl Jones? By remaking the old animated Disney films, you do not have this problem since the actors are most likely passed away or too old to voice the character. If they get a new cast, I feel the cast should be predominately Black since it takes place in Africa. It would also be like be paying homage to the Broadway show in that way. I could totally see some people from Hamilton voice some characters.

I am not too worried about this new adaptation of this classic, but it does feel that Disney is just trying to cash in on their previous properties. I like the fact they are redoing classics like The Sword and the Stone because it makes people more knowledgeable about the Disney classics. I would love to see a well-made remake of The Hunchback of Notre Dame or Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

If the new Lion King is not great, at least there is always the original.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
