Disney's Character Posters For "The Lion King" Bring Our Childhood Imaginations To Life
Fans of The Lion King are feeling the love tonight after Disney dropped 11 new posters depicting the main characters from the studio’s latest “live-action” adaptation of the film, which comes out July 19th.

The movie is the latest in a series of Disney live-action remakes of animated classics and follows close on the heels of Aladdin, which came out earlier this month. Of course, given that The Lion King is a film exclusively populated by animals, “live-action” may be a bit of a misnomer. In fact, the film will be reminiscent of the 2016 The Jungle Book remake with nearly lifelike computer-generated characters. Jon Favreau, who directed The Jungle Book, also directed the new The Lion King.
