The Lion King

More and more movies are considered live-action, even though they’re almost entirely created in a computer.

The circle of life is now complete.

The animated classic gets a CGI makeover in the upcoming Disney film. Watch the trailer now!

Get ready to ugly cry when Mufasa dies.

It's a fantastic opportunity for people on the autism spectrum and anyone with sensory sensitivities.

I mean, how do you land Queen Bey and not have her sing something?

As usual, Disney waited until late afternoon to make a major announcement, but it’s always nice to end the day with some awesome news. Today, it’s the full voice cast ensemble for The Lion King, Jon Favreau’s live-action (-ish) reimagining of the studio’s animated classic — and perhaps the most exciting project on their upcoming (and growing) slate of live-action remakes.

Watching an actor record a role in a sound booth for an animated film usually feels a little off, and that’s especially true when those actors are reading lines you memorized as a kid from a movie beloved worldwide like few others. But watching Jeremy Irons read and sing Scar’s most dastardly evil parts from ‘The Lion King’ is just plain delicious fun.

Pop quiz, hotshot: what does an actor do after he retires from one of the most iconic superhero roles of all time? Answer: anything he wants! Nobody would fault Hugh Jackman for spending the next several years drinking mojitos on the beach and packing on some of the pounds he was contractually obligated to keep off for the X-Men franchise, but it sounds like Jackman isn’t about to rest on his laurels anytime soon. The actor has been hinting at an upcoming Disney collaboration over the last day, sharing suggestive photos of himself at Disney parks, and now a hot new rumor seems to explain why.

Well this is certainly an interesting tweet, from director Jon Favreau:

Keith Harris posted a video on his Facebook of his little girl, Viktoria's reaction while watching one of the saddest movie moments in Disney history; when Mufasa dies in "The Lion King." The short clip went super viral, and was viewed more than 4 million times.

Remember 1994? "The Mask," The Cranberries and "The Lion King!"
