You can see more from Disney at DVD, Blu-ray, iTunes, Xbox ONE, PS4, Amazon and digital download release date UK Mulan has already been confirmed for 2020 and there are a number of untitled films scheduled all the up until 2023, so we could be in for everything from classics like Pinocchio, Bambi and Aristocats to more modern films like Up and Ratatouille. The upcoming film is sure to path the way for a raft of more live action adaptations in the future. The cinema release went on to be one of the highest grossing films of 2019, so The Lion King DVD, Blu-Ray and digital release will surely go on to be just as popular when it comes out later this year.

This is the fifth Disney live action film following on from Jungle Book in 2016, Beauty And The Beast In 2018, Dumbo in 2019 and the Aladdin adaptation earlier in 2019. The only significant returning voice actor from the original is James Earl Jones as Simba’s dad, Mufasa.

Donald Glover is in as big Simba with JD McCrary as young Simba, Seth Rogan plays Pumbaa, Billy Eichner plays Timon, Chiwetel Ejiofer takes over from Jeremy Irons as Scar, John Oliver picks up where Rowan Atkinson left off as Zazu and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter stars as Nala. The story stays pretty close to the original film with a few live action tweeks here and there, but it’s all change for the majority of the voice cast.
