1 The Opening Scene – Once you see the sunrise + Zazoo flying towards Pride Rock, the nostalgia is so grand you can help but sing along. It looks so real you are lost in the animation of it all. @disneylionking pic.twitter.com/l5PAeoHDFa

2 Chiwetel Ejiofor: – Scar. The ruthless brother of Mufasa. Chiwetel brings his Oscar nominated voice to 1 of Disney’s greatest villains + he doesn’t disappoint. One of Hollywood’s best kept secrets shines + gives a strong performance which dominates the screen. @disneylionking pic.twitter.com/ZkhDFg421d

3 Special Features – Jon Farveau went almost 100% digital with the Lion King, although he hints at one shot in the movie which was a real shot of the African Savanna. Along with this game within the movie, enjoy the sing along with the cast members. @disneylionking pic.twitter.com/zsJwO54Chb

4 The Animation – I won’t lie, once I heard about 99.9% of the movie was digital even down to the smallest details of Pride Rock, I was stunned. You find yourself getting lost in the detail given to the scenery, you lose track of some of the cameos in the movie. @disneylionking pic.twitter.com/GCXEHXONHv

5 Timon + Pumbaa – Seth Rogen is already a comedy genius. He showcases a different side of his talents with his vocal talents as the beloved Pumbaa. But, his partner Timon, voiced by Bill Eichner, matches up seamlessly. They worked so well together they keep the legacy in tact. pic.twitter.com/rzKYCfq2F9

Bring your family together and share something you grew up with to your children. For such an iconic animated film to get this type of upgrade is good to see as Disney is still proving to be top dog. Get out and cop The Lion King on Digital HD and Blu-ray ASAP and have a great family evening. Just make sure you have a tissue box handy when ‘it’ happens (I am sure you know what I am talking about, if not, Mufassa’s death). We loved this remake, hopefully we can convince Disney to make a live action Lilo and Stitch we would be even more excited!
