There couldn’t have been a better day for us when The Lion King 2019 trailer dropped on Thursday.
The 90s kid in us was so enthralled to see the film translated into a photo real environment. When the movie releases in summer 2019, 25 years after the original animated film, you should prepare yourself for some striking similarities between the two.
Somebody compared the two movie trailers and the comparison is giving us major nostalgia.
