Disney’s The Lion King just released their first trailer and my oh, my, the nostalgia tears are real right now. They managed to capture the very first moments of the opening scene from the original 1994 movie. Disney have had a great formula when it comes to live adaptation movies over the last couple of years. I am impressed. I don’t know if I’m prepared to see Mufasa perish on IMAX though, I should really have tissues on standby.
But you mean to tell me, that
will also be featuring in the movie? Oh Disney got MONEY.
