10 Things We Want To See From Disney's Live-Action The Lion King
3. The Iconic Scenes
Inclusion of the iconic scenes - the ones that you’re already thinking about before I’ve even mentioned them - is simply a must if Disney are going to succeed in keeping the naysayers at bay.
Scenes such as the epic sunrise pre-Circle of Life, The Circle of Life itself where Rafiki raises Simba for the whole of the animal kingdom to admire, the heartfelt “everything the light touches” moment between father and son and Hakuna Matata (obvs).
They can leave out the bit about Scar killing Mufassa though if they like... If only to save more breaking hearts.
