25 years after its initial release, The Lion King movie still remains the highest-earning G-rated movie of all time. However, following the success of The Jungle Book movie remake, Disney has taken on a challenge to reboot the all-time classic too. Will the new photorealistic computer-animated Disney movie beat the traditionally animated one? Only time will tell. But there’s not much time left to find out since the Lion King remake premiere is just around the corner.

The new version of Disney movie classic directed by Jon Favreau will hit theaters on the 19th of July. Just in time for that, Disney released striking photos of the famous actors who did voice acting in this movie posing face-to-face with their characters.
