Step inside the pitch meeting that led to Disney’s The Lion King

Disney is on a rampage of “live action” remakes of their classic animated movies, and the latest film on the list is The Lion King. Director Jon Favreau brings to life our favorite characters like Simba, Nala, Timon and Pumbaa in a way that’s… maybe a little too realistic? The movie raises a lot of questions. Like why did they decide to go SO realistic with the visuals? Why did they cut out all the fun cartoony parts? Why is Beyonce hitting so many notes in a single song? What emotions are these lions even feeling?!

To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to Disney’s The Lion King… again! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!
