Live Action Lion King Footage Perfectly Captures Animated Classic
The first look at Disney's upcoming live action The Lion King film from director John Favreau was shown at D23 Expo, and goodness gracious, it knocked my damn socks off.
Disney has turned a lot of its animated classics into live action films already, and with new takes on Dumbo, Aladdin and Mulan on the horizon, it's not stopping anytime soon. But Favreau proved with The Jungle Book that the technology developed to bring these animals to life through CGI did create an immersive new adventure that justified its existence.
The Biggest Highlights from the Infinity War Footage

Josh Brolin's Thanos, who wasn't wearing his helmet in the scenes, always seemed to have the upper hand in every scene.
Here are some quick, geeks highlights from this very quick montage of footage. BEWARE OF A SPOILER FROM SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING AHEAD!
