The Lion King Available To Own Now

October 30, 2019 By Nickida

The first footage I saw of the live-action version of The Lion King was during a live-action panel at D23 2017. I remember it being breathtaking. Seeing the iconic scene where Simba is held up on the rock by Rafiki was visually stunning to me. Now you can own the magic of Lion King and watch it over and over again. It’s a great addition to any holiday gift list you’re making for family and friends.

Be prepared: Disney’s “The Lion King,” the worldwide phenomenon that brought the Pride Lands’ iconic characters to life in a whole new way. Directed by Jon Favreau, the summer blockbuster, which reigned supreme with audiences worldwide — earning over $1 billion at the global box office and an A CinemaScore — journeys home with all-new bonus features, music videos and an exclusive extra for Digital consumers.

In-home audiences will feel the love as they trek behind the scenes and to the African savanna through “The Journey to ‘The Lion King,’” a three-part documentary that explores the film’s creation. It features visits to the Playa Vista production facility where talent, including Donald Glover (voice of Simba) honor and elevate the animated classic’s iconic music; discussions with Favreau and team who used cutting-edge technology to create photorealistic animals and environments; and filmmaker and cast reflections on the timeless tale that has moved generations.

In “The Lion King,” pioneering filmmaking techniques bring treasured characters to life in a whole new way. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival. Scar, Mufasa’s brother — and former heir to the throne — has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his. The all-star cast includes Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and Billy Eichner as Timon.

My family has loved the new live-action remake of The Lion King. We loved singing all the songs we loved from the animated version over and over again. While the movie has lots of mixed reviews, we really enjoyed it. The cast was superb and they all did such an amazing job. We’ll be watching the film over and over again for sure. If you’re a fan of the original be sure to pick up a copy of the live-action remake for your collection.
