The Lion King First Reactions: Disney's Live-Action Film Wins Big Praises for Its Visual Appeal and Emotional Essence at the Premiere
The Lion King premiere took place in Los Angeles last night and the red carpet event saw the entire cast of the film turn up looking their best. The excitement to catch the film was high among the media outlets and now we have the first reactions from the film. Here's how people have found the new Lion King.
The Lion King recently held its premiere last night and it was truly a star-studded evening as the film's lead cast Donald Glover, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, James Earl Jones, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, and John Oliver made it to the premiere looking like a million bucks. After the announcement of a remake of the 1994 Disney original was announced, not many fans of the original film were thrilled about it. Director Jon Favreau did promise to take things a notch higher with his technical skills and now it seems it has actually turned out to be a huge success for the makers.

In the new Lion King, Donald Glover has lent his voice for Simba, whereas Beyonce has turned a voice actor for the character of Nala, Simba's best friend. Actor James Earl Jones has voiced the character of Mufasa. The first trailer itself had suggested that this one is going to be high on nostalgia for those who grew up watching 1994 original and a new chapter for those experiencing it for the first time.
The first reactions from the premiere of the film are already here and it looks like the new Lion King has won people over. Media organisations that got to catch the film's premiere have given positive responses to the film and are extremely happy that film carries the same essence as the original. The first responses suggest that the film is just as emotional as the original and the visual-appeal is only enhancing the film's beauty. Here are some of the first reactions to the film.
