I actually hadn't heard about this until I saw this thread. ^^ I'm a bit curious, myself, to see what they decide to do with it, although since The Lion King is one of my favorite movies of all time, I don't know if it will top the standards set by the Disney film. Naturally, I'm a bit skeptical of remakes of classic and beloved films because it has the potential to tarnish a legacy, The Loin Guard but even if it doesm't live up to the animated film, it may turn out to be a delightful stand-alone production. I loved Favreau's adaptation of The Jungle Book, though, so perhaps I would end up enjoying it. I would definitely be interested to check it out when it's released.
