A lot of great movies came out during the Disney Renaissance, but arguably the most popular of the bunch was The Lion King. So after seeing how well Jon Favreau did with remaking The Jungle Book, Disney tasked the director with tackling an all-CGI version of The Lion King. Like with Aladdin, the new Lion King is following the original Pride Lands-set story closely, although it’s been assured that there will be new elements. The remake stars Donald Glover, Beyonce, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Billy Eichner, Seth Rogen, John Oliver, John Kani, Alfre Woodard, Keegan-Michael Key, Florence Kasumba, Eric Andre and Amy Sedaris, and James Earl Jones is also back as Mufasa.
Release Date: July 19
