Jon Favreau’s The Lion King is comfortably the highest-grossing live-action remake of a Disney animated classic, with a box office haul well north of $1.6 billion also positioning it as the eighth top-earning film in the history of cinema. Despite such overwhelming success, critics were hardly raving about his visually stunning update of the classic original.
Like the majority of the Mouse House’s blockbuster reinventions, The Lion King came under fire for failing to bring anything new or worthwhile to the story, instead opting to play it frustratingly safe by rehashing the story beat-for-beat, which even extended to the songs and entire stretches of the screenplay.
