Your childhood is slowly being remade, movie by movie.

After the success of the live action Jungle Book earlier this year, Disney announced today that Jon Favreau will direct a Lion King movie of the same live-action nature.

But… is this a good thing?

Some were excited

Remake of the lion king has actually made my day I'm over the moon

In The Lion King reboot, instead of abandoning his kingdom, Simba says he's not voting this year but Nala convinces him to vote for Hillary.

They are remaking The Lion King??

Just don't.

There's no possible way they can do a better job.

Don't destroy my childhood.
