Namun, ada beberapa netizen yang beranggapan bahwa film original Lion King sudah sangat bagus dan tidak perlu dibuat ulang.
I still want some explanation of how LION KING is going to be live action if they're all CGI and there are no humans.

The Lion King doesn't need a remake and there's no chance in hell it'd be near as good as the original.

I think some movies don't need to be remade eg lion king , beauty and the beast, alladin . It's why I didn't even bother

Disney juga telah merilis waktu tayang film Lion King versi live action tersebut, yang akan jatuh pada Jui 2019 mendatang. (/rns)
