Is 'The Lion King' remake really live-action?
The highly-anticipated teaser trailer to Disney's remake of "The Lion King" is finally here, and the Internet is divided. While some fans are ecstatic about the remake, others argue the 2019 film is not actually live-action. The remake is mainly computer-generated imagery and, thus far, looks like a shot-for-shot remake of the 1994 animated classic. Others say while it relies heavily on computer animation, actors shot the movie on real sets and Disney used lots of real animals to nail the look. What do you think?

Below is the synopsis of "The Lion King" remake, per Rotten Tomatoes.
From Disney Live Action, director Jon Favreau's all-new "The Lion King" journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub's arrival. Scar, Mufasa's brother-and former heir to the throne-has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba's exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.
