Similar to The Jungle Book (2016), the visual effects demonstrated in The Lion King (2019) are quite amazing as the African environments and the characters are brought to life, almost making the film look like a nature documentary.
Director Jon Favreau first utilised this style with the 2016 Jungle Book adaptation by recreating the iconic characters as realistic animals that talk and sing. While The Lion King (2019) is considered a “live-action” adaptation of the original film, it is done completely in computer-generated imagery using a photorealistic design. As an adult, Simba ( Donald Glover) is encouraged by his childhood friend Nara ( Beyoncé Knowles-Carter) and shaman Rafiki ( John Kani) to return to Pride Rock and claim back his birthright.
Simba meets outcasts Timon ( Billy Eichner) and Pumbaa ( Seth Rogan), who teach him to put his past behind him. This brings tragedy to the family and he exiles Simba from Pride Rock. Meanwhile, Mufasa’s brother, Scar ( Chiwetel Ejiofor) conducts a plan to take the throne for himself. Can the new 2019 film reach the massive bar set by the original film?Ī young lion named Simba ( JD McCrary) is anointed as the next king of Pride Rock and wants to follow the footsteps of his father, Mufasa ( James Earl Jones), with the help of Zazu ( John Oliver). The original 1994 film was quite the game-changer, perfectly blending together 2D and 3D animation, and is not only regarded as a top tier Disney classic, but is also often considered as one of the greatest films of all time. When it comes to the recent live-action Disney adaptations, one that seems the most daring, and slightly confusing, is The Lion King.
