Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book (2016) was an absolute treat! And the moment I came to know about him taking on The Lion King, I was super excited. Jon Favreau’s vision regarding this film has been very clear from the beginning. He wanted to take the Photo-realistic CGI technology he used in The Jungle Book to the next level making his film look almost as real as a BBC/Discovery Nature Documentary, and he has made it happen. Visually, The Lion King is a majestic and breathtaking experience. If a person isn’t aware of the technology used in the film, s/he will completely be convinced of the film being live-action and the characters and scenarios being real. The hard-work of Favreau and the Visual effects team has paid off well. They deserve a standing ovation for this.
