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.

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

Disney has abandoned traditional 2D animation and gone full CGI. No more Disney for me! CGI is cute, but 2D animation will always have a charm and artistry that CGI will never match.

Now it will be even more realistic. 😢 I will never ever watch this movie again. I think it is even unsuitable for children... I was a child in 1994, I was devastated by his death and couldn't get over it for years. Like, sb says 'The Lion King ... this&that...great movie, etc.' And I'm like 'yeah, but what about the father, the FATHER'. The scene was too cruel...

I watched Lion King like hundreds of times when I was a kid, but I saw Mufasa's death scene only once or twice. I always fast-forwarded it on VCR, because I just couldn't watch it

I had to watch the movie three times when it first came out in cinemas, because I was so devastated by his death I couldn't enjoy the rest of the movie!
