The live-action version of The Lion King is finally in theaters. The visual is stunning. I found it really funny, especially the Pumbaa (Seth Rogen) and Timon (Billy Eichner) characters, who steal every scene they are in.
As film critics or moviegoers, we can be a bit harsh when beloved films are redone or rebooted. I was really happy to see that they kept the storyline of the original with a few new songs. It brought back wonderful memories of my son and his cousins as kids. Now as a grandmother, this version of The Lion King will bring new memories.
The Lion King Press
A week ago we sat in on The Lion King global press conference (see audio) with cast (minus Beyonce) Donald Glover, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Alfre Woodard, Seth Rogen, JD McCrary, Shahadi Wright Joseph, John Kani, Hans Zimmer, Lebo M, Billy Eichner, Florence Kasumba, Keegan-Michael Key, Eric Andre, and director Jon Favreau. We got to listen in on the process used to put this version of the beloved 1994 film together.
Even with all this info, the main highlight for me at the press-day was, the live performance of the song Circle of Life with creator/producer African vocal/choir arrangements Lebo M, Clydene Jackson and a choir singing, prior to the start of the press conference.
Enjoy some images and a few videos from the press conference for Disney’s The Lion King, now in theaters for everyone’s enjoyment. Go check it out! — A.O.
