10 Things We Want To See From Disney's Live-Action The Lion King

10. Stunning Aesthetics

Something that a contemporary remake of The Lion King stands only to benefit from is cutting edge technology. We saw what up-to-the-minute tech did for Avatar, The Jungle Book and a whole bunch of movies in between, but what it could do for The Lion King is nothing short of exciting.

Fans expect a gorgeous colour palette and stunning photorealism of the African savannah, together with expertly realised creature design.

Its aesthetic qualities are what made The Jungle Book so wildly impressive and here, we want the same kind of digital world and feeling of being alive, immersed in a real, authentic territory – otherwise why bother with a remake at all?
