This side-by-side comparison of the live action Lion King with the cartoon shows just how faithful it is to the original
The trailer is out for the (sort of) live action version of the Lion King and very excited people are too.
It looks like it stays fairly faithful to the original but it wasn’t until someone did a side-by-side comparison that we realised just HOW faithful.
Have a watch for yourself.

I understand homaging the original, but recreating it exactly… what's the point…
