A Fan Compared The Lion King 2019 To The 1994 Disney Animation Side By Side

One thousand nine hundred ninety-four was a big year. It was when Nelson Mandela became the President of South Africa, The Channel Tunnel between England and France opened after six years of construction, and, of course, Disney released The Lion King film, which eventually became the highest-grossing animated movie ever (now, fourth).

During the NFL’s traditional Thanksgiving primetime game in the United States, the company released the first teaser trailer of its remake, that is scheduled to come out in the summer of 2019, and everyone is losing their minds.

Many fans were incredibly happy to hear it is narrated by James Earl Jones, that plays king Mufasa in both the 1994 original and next year’s film. However, the most impressive thing about the teaser is how beautiful the visuals look.

To demonstrate how much technology has advanced over the past 24 years, somebody has even created a video that compares shots from the two releases side by side. Scroll down until the end to see the video comparison.
