Every Shot From The Lion King Teaser Is a Reminder of Disney Hour
Here’s the shot breakdown of the teaser trailer of ‘The Lion King’.
Disney is bringing back our childhood with the live-action remake of The Lion King releasing in 2019. The official teaser trailer was dropped on Thanksgiving and it has emphatically made us nostalgic.
The remake has an impressive list of voice actors, including Donald Glover as Simba and James Earl Jones as Mufasa, as well as Grammy winner Elton John reworking the original composition for the intended CGI visual feast.
The trailer begins with Mufasa aka James Earl Jones’ narration in the background and moves to the iconic shot of Rafiki hoisting Simba for all of the animals in the Pride Lands to see, with the original film’s track, Circle of Life being played in the background.
The live-action film has borrowed heavily from the 1994 classic. Here’s a shot breakdown, and why we’re reminded of the original so much!
The Lion King releases on 19 July 2019.
