Disney is preparing a new remake of The Lion King, set for release in July of 2019. Some are calling it the "live action Lion King," but that's not what it is, since the movie is all animated. It's just animated very realistically. What's truly impressive is the list of voice talent attached to the project. Here's a first look, and below you'll see a side-by-side comparison with the 1994 movie.

1) Primates and Lions are extremely hostile to each other in the wild. I get that it's an iconic scene, but it's a jupiter's length away from reality.
2)It's weird that culturally we've chosen the lion as the king of the jungle. Tigers destroy lions in real fights. Pound for pound, Tigers are stronger, more lethal, and more intelligent. (It's illegal to have lions and tigers fight but I've seen plenty of them and lions never win.) Also lions don't live in the jungle.
